Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42633 Faucet Filtration System, Black/Chrome
Customer Review: Better than Pur
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used a Pur faucet filter before, and found it much more difficult to install, bulkier, and less reliable (it sprung leaks again and again). This Brita was no hassle to attach, once I managed to remove my faucet's aerator. The chrome look is attractive, and the water tastes great. I use this to make tea every day.
Others have complained about the filters not lasting as long as advertised. Yes and no. I've found that when the light turns amber, you can remove the cartridge, shake it, and then replace it to get several more weeks of green light. In other words, the problem isn't so much with the filters as with the feedback system. If you're using this for about a gallon of water per day, I'd expect each filter to last 3-4 months. Two replacement filters cost about as much as the system itself, so keep that in mind when you make the investment.
Customer Review: 100% success rate with several of these
Summary: 5 Stars
I have mounted at least 6 of these over the years in different dwellings, and they have all worked flawlessly.
Some did require the purchase of different adapters (Ace Hardware has a wide selection) to fit some weird faucets, but this is not a flaw with the Brita filter. They do include some adapters but there are many different types of faucets and it would be impossible to provide adapters to cover every permutation.
I'm not sure why there are so many 1-star reviews; all I know is I've bought two of these in the past several months and they both mounted fine and work perfectly! No problems with the threads, leaking, etc. and the water tastes great compared to regular tap.
Customer Review: i'm happy with it
Summary: 5 Stars
bought the unit in Houston, where it worked nicely, and then moved to Indiana. Was so disappointed when it didn't fit in my new place. but I reread the booklet which said to call them if the adaptors did not fit. so I did and was sent a package within 5 days. yes it now fits perfectly! sounds like i should check the filter more than i thought but i don't have a problem with that. also maybe some of you should be more patient. i like the way it took the iodine and chlorine taste away (coffee) overall i'm very pleased, as it seems to be working great!!Customer Review: excellent filtration system
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to use, excellent filtration system. I had some trouble originally installing it because I didn't know that plumbing threads are the reverse of screws. Once I got it on correctly, it has worked fine for over one year. The filters pop on and off easily, last a long time, and a red light tells you when it's time to change. Sometimes, the water pressure gets too low and I change to a new filter even though it is still showing a green light. The replacement filters are a little difficult to find.Customer Review: So far, so good!
Summary: 5 Stars
So far we have had no problems with our filter! I'm not sure if it's in my head or not, but I think our water actually tastes better, and I definitely FEEL better knowing that we are drinking water that is healthier for us. Also, I'm glad to be done with bottled water because, first of all, it's more expensive. Money adds up! Also, we're still getting the fluoride we need by drinking tap water. I think we made a great choice.
