Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42633 Faucet Filtration System, Black/Chrome
Customer Review: Shakey Start!
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first read about problems with the filter fitting on the faucet correctly I was leary of purchasing it. I did anyway,and sure enough as I was using it ,it would come blasting off the faucet and into the sink! After speaking with someone at customer service,I was told they would send me a metal thread adapter at no charge.Since recieving the adapter I have had no problems at all.My faucet is pretty standard,I don't understand why the just don't include it at the start as to avoid any negative reviews.I would have given it 5 stars had they given me the adapter with the filter to begin with.If you order it ,I would call right away to get the adapter, because you can't use it without it!Customer Review: ADAPTORS

I purchased this item and have had only one problem with it. If your facet threads are inside then you have to use one of the provided plastic adaptors. I did but every time I turned on the water the unit fell off of the facet. I tried several times making sure that it was tight and it still did the same thing.
I contacted Brita.com and got a number to call (800-24-BRITA(27482)) and they sent a new set of special adaptors free of charge. It now works great. The problem that I see is; that this seems to be a known problem for which there is a free fix, so why are they still selling them with inferior adapters?
Customer Review: Only OK

There are a couple of things to be aware of before you buy this.
The indicator lights are powered by a non-replaceable battery. Britta says it has a 5 year life but if it fails sooner it can't be replaced. After that, no indicator for filter replacement.
The mounting fittings that come with the filter are cheap plastic and I couldn't mount mine without it blowing off if the water was turned up too high. Call Britta and they will send (free) metal fittings but it takes a couple of weeks.
Britta automated phone assistance is horrific to navigate.

Brita 42633 Faucet Filtration System, Black/ChromeThis purchase was a replacement purchase. The one I bought before this was identical, except that it leaked and kept falling off the faucet. I used plumbers tape, changed the gasket and did everything I could to make it work without success. I've never had this problem before with the Brita filter systems I've purchased, that's pretty much why I took a chance and bought another. This one went on without a problem and didn't leak, and so far one full day of use hasn't fallen off the faucet.
Customer Review: falls off the faucet
Summary: 3 Stars
Had good previous experience of this product in another home. Purchased this hoping for same quality. Product would not stay on faucet, even with included adapters. Would turn on faucet only to have Brita filter fall off and water go everywhere. Called Brita, who apparently is aware of this problem, said it happens all the time. They are sending new set of updated adapters free of charge. Hopefully this will correct the problem. If Brita Co. is aware of this situation and saying it's very common, why is it not addressed in original package?
