The answer to your question depends on what type of problems you have in your drinking water. Also, if you plan to at all water in the whole house you may buy a point-of-entry filter; for a single location in the house you may buy a point-of-use such as an undersink, a countertop, or a pitcher filter. I know Brita carries a lot of these countertop and pitcher filters. The most important thing to resolve is to know what's in your water before you buy. A Brita filter may not be good enough to remove those contaminants. Also, other bette brands may be certified by NSF International and be capable of doing the job. So, test your water, don't go for the cheapest. Home test kits are available in the market. You may also contact your local water supply to see if they have a free water test program. The, look for a third party (NSF) certified water filter. But don't surrender to pressure from salesmen. Research the best filter that will meet your drinking water need.

How is a Pure water filter different from a Brita water filter?

Pur water filters and Brita water filters have a lot in common in the sense that they both filter out the impurities in water. However, a Pur water filter does it by filtering the water through activated carbon which absorbs the impurities. Brita on the other hand does this same thing expect it filters the water through activated carbon and an ion exchange resin. So the difference between Pur and Brita is that Brita takes the filtration process a step further.

Is there a difference in name brand antifreeze and store brand?

Store brand antifreeze is manufactured by the same companies than make the major brands, but they may or may not contain the same chemicals. I personally do not buy store brand antifreeze, oil, filters or any other automobile products to use in my expensive car. They may be exactly the same but you have no way of knowing for sure, and have no way of knowing exactly what company is manufacturing these products at any given time.

How do you make a water filter using normal day materials?

I would advise using activated charcoal, it's the same substance that is in a 'Brita' filter. If you do not have access to charcoal, you might want to try layers of sand and coffee filters.
