Description of Brita 42202 Ultra Faucet Filter, with Pitcher
No plumber needed, no tools needed! Here is the ultimate in convenience and filtration performance. Simply remove the aerator from your tap and replace it with this sleek little filter. When you don't need your water filtered simply flip the lever for unfiltered tap water.This water-filtration system installs without tools on household faucets to eliminate nearly all foul tastes and odors from drinking, cooking, baby-formula, and ice-cube water. Though it does not purify unsafe drinking water, its activated charcoal filter cartridge does capture 99.9% of cryptosporidium and giardia microbes and largely eliminates certain herbicides, pesticides, and solvents. A filter cartridge (one included) works for four months or 100 gallons; an electronic light glows red when there's about 20 gallons of filtering power remaining, and flashes red when a cartridge needs replacing. A handle on the back of the unit turns to permit unfiltered water to flow from the faucet, either as a stream or a spray, so the filter cartridge is not wasted when you wash dishes. The filter works only for water up to 100 degrees. A 9-quart plastic water pitcher with lid (11 inches high) is included. Clean exterior of filter system and pitcher with a mild detergent and a soft sponge or cloth. --Fred Brack
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42202 Ultra Faucet Filter, with Pitcher
Customer Review: Working great after 2 1/2 years!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had Brita Faucet Filter for 2 1/2 years with no problems and would not live without it.Our water in Dallas is horrible, especially in the summer. It tastes too bad to drink and we would only drink bottled water. We decided to purchase a Brita Pitcher which we liked, but it was a pain to constantly fill the pitcher. We decided to try a Faucet filter.
My husband was sure that the Brita Faucet Filter would not perform as well as the pitcher, so I setup a blind taste test for him with a glass of water from each the Brita Faucet Filter and the Brita Pitcher. He chose the Brita Faucet Filter as having the best taste (or lack of BAD taste) and I have to agree. So the pitcher has been stored away and now we wouldn't live without the Faucet Filter.
If there are any cons to the Brita Faucet Filter they would be:
1) The type of connector we needed to attach it to our faucet was not in the box. They do have a way for you to call in and get another kit of connectors which we received about 2 weeks after we called in. One of those did fit.
2) The indicator flashes red once about 20 gallons (?) before you need to change it, and twice when it must be changed. But we have noticed that at soon as it goes to flashing red once the quality of the filter dimishes quickly and you really can't get that last 20 gallons filtered.
