Great water quality, poor pitcher design

The water quality where we live is already quite good, but my landlord bought the pitcher for me and we used it for 2 years. We never had to replace the filter because the meter kept showing "00" - we tested it frequently against tap water, and the meter worked and there was never a fishy smell (which some have reported). The pitcher however wasn't well made, the lid doesn't really clip down, so when you pour from it the lid often falls off. It also always spills, I don't know if it's because the spout is too wide, but almost constantly getting wet when pouring meant almost exclusively using the spigot on the back end. The spigot pours too slowly.
