Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42622 On Tap Filtration System, White/Chrome
Customer Review: Absolutely worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
Got one at BB&B and it worked fine for about six weeks. If I wrote this review during that time, I would have given it four stars. My only complaint would have been the somewhat cumbersome switch between faucet water and the filter.
That said, after about six weeks it no longer stays attached to the faucet. No matter how carefully and securely I reattach the unit to the faucet, it POPS off when I turn the water on, spraying me in the face in the process. Even using plumbing tape hasn't helped.
I thought that maybe I just got a lousy unit, but after reading some of these reviews, there is apparently some kind of design flaw with this product. Save your money and buy a pitcher or a different brand of faucet filter that actually works.
Customer Review: At least they honor their warranty
Summary: 1 Stars
You will be lucky indeed if this product lasts a year before either it starts leaking or the aereater breaks off. I made a big mistake when I thought I would save money by buying a multi pack of replacement filters. I've ended up purchasing two additional faucet mounts just to use up the filters. On the positive side, Customer Service is very cooperative about sending replacement parts when it breaks in less than a year.Customer Review: Avoid if your faucet has threads on the inside.
Summary: 1 Stars
About half the reviews of this filter loved it and half said it didn't work at all. I was hoping to be in the former half, but alas, mine is on its way back to Amazon.
If your faucet has threads on the inside, you need to insert a provided adapter to which the filter base screws on to. While the adapter screwed in nice and tight into the faucet, the filter base would not screw on to the adapter. The threads on both the base and adapter were shallow, few, and made of apparently cheap plastic. Repeated attempts to tighten the base to the adapter failed to sufficiently hold the base in place. The base would just pop off the faucet as soon as the water was turned on.
Perhaps the people who have had success with this filter had threads on the outside of their faucets, which allowed the filter base to be screwed directly to the steel threads on the faucet itself.
This did not appear to be an anomaly, but rather poor design/fabrication. I'll just keep using my Brita pitcher instead. Thankfully, Amazon's return policy for defective products is outstanding.
Customer Review: Brita Filtration
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have for any home. It is easy to install, maintain and filters are easy to find. Another cool feature is not only can you switch from filtered water to unfiltered water for washing dishes, but you can also change how the water is delivered. By this I mean you can switch from the standard way water flows from the tap to a spray.
Customer Review: Britta Water Filtration System
Summary: 4 Stars
We have been using this system for a few years now. Have no problems or complaints. The durration of the
filter will depend largely on how much filtrated water you use. This does what it is supposed to do and
does it well.
