Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita On Tap Replacement Filters, 2-Pack, Chrome, for Models FF-100 & OPFF-100 (42618)
Customer Review: Faucet Water Filter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best water filter I have found also have a Pur but like my Brita betterCustomer Review: A streamlined, sophisticated water filter that is so useful in these times...
Summary: 4 Stars
The Brita Chrome On Tap Faucet Filter lasts longer than the four months Amazon says it does--at least it did for me! I think it depends on how much you use the faucet this filter is attached to. The filter is relatively easy to attach to the faucet; you get directions but if you're still all thumbs (like me) a friend can install it for you in about two minutes. Brita makes a great faucet filter; and I'm going to tell you why.
The Brita filter does indeed remove at least some of the contaminants that are often found in faucet tap water. Once the filter is attached there's really nothing special you need to do--just turn on the faucet as you ordinarily would and the filter does all the work. The filter has a clear indicator light to let you know that it is time to change the filter so you get the maximum amount of use from the filter before you know for sure that you have to discard it.
In addition, the filter eliminates bad tastes and odors from your tap water. I have been fortunate enough that I have not experienced odors from my tap water but I do notice a very nice change for the better in terms of taste after the Brita faucet filter is attached to my faucet. It even helps to add fluoride to your water, too! What a great feature! You won't have to buy as much bottled water, either. Great!
One reviewer notes that these filters are not recyclable. In these times that's a crying shame. Perhaps Brita can re-manufacture these in such a way as to not change the design or ease of use too much while making these filters recyclable. I don't see why Brita can't do that; and I will take off one star for that to make this a four star review just as the other reviewer did.
Overall, this is a great faucet filter by Brita and the two pack is very reasonably priced, too. I highly recommend this filter for anyone who has concerns about the quality of their faucet water. If you have special health concerns about the quality of your water, discuss this Brita faucet filter with your doctor before buying it.
Put it on your faucet; and enjoy!!!
Customer Review: Much better than PUR
Summary: 4 Stars
I went through 3 or 4 of the PUR faucet mount filters. They gave great results while they worked - but they clogged up very quickly, and invariably, the mount cracked within 6 months. They honor the 5 year warranty, but who wants to go to the trouble and expense of shipping it back to the factory every 6 months, and then waiting several weeks for the replacement.
I switched to Brita about 2 years ago, and have been happy. I've been through probably 8 replacement filters and it still works.
Compared to PUR:
PROS
Mount more durable
Filters don't clog before reaching their capacity for filtration
Much easier to change filters than PUR (PUR often jammed and took a lot of effort to screw the cap on and off). The just pop on, pop off.
CONS
The water taste is not quite as good as PUR, and based on the published stats, they don't filter quite as much as the PUR filters - but on both counts Brita is very close.
Much happier with Brita than PUR. I don't know how PUR manages to stay in business - the quality is just so awful.
Customer Review: Sleek design, not long-lasting
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, let me point out that it's a bit frivolous to review these replacement filters. If you already bought Brita On Tap, then you have just two choices for new filters: white or chrome. For my kitchen, I prefer chrome.
These filters are expensive and they only seem to last a few weeks before the green light turns amber, then red, indicating that a replacement is needed. Don't trust the light. Try removing the filter cartridge, shaking it, and replacing it. In my experience, this almost always makes the light turn green again. These should each last months of casual use (~1 gallon per day), not weeks.
Customer Review: Clean Tasting Water!
Summary: 4 Stars
For years I have used faucet water filters. I will not drink water from the faucet unless I have one on. Even though my water company claims to have some of the best tasting clean water in the nation, I still use filters. It's better to be safe than sorry. The water has no chlorine smell or taste to it. Brita is the only company I will buy water filters from. I would have given it five stars, but realistically speaking, I don't believe any water filter can rid the water of all unhealthy contaminants.
