Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42622 On Tap Filtration System, White/Chrome
Customer Review: FAIL DO NOT BUY
Summary: 1 Stars
I had one of these units 8 years ago. It was difficult to install but did work. The product has been redesigned and somehow made even more difficult to install. They shortened the plastic threads and they DO NOT WORK ! Like many of the reviews here say, it does not work ! You spend 5 minutes carfully screwing it on and think it is secure, then slowly turn the water on and it pops off. After the third time you give up. I used to have one 8 years ago with similar problems, but it used to stay on. Amazon, please stop this sham.Customer Review: Falls off faucet
Summary: 1 Stars
Unless you're sure your sink's faucet fits with the Brita filtration system without an insert, I wouldn't get this. We had to use one of the provided plastic inserts and it almost immediately started falling off the faucet. Now the thing falls off multiple times per day without so much as a touch, plus water constantly leaks from around the connection joint. Very frustrating!Customer Review: Filter good; adapters bad.
Summary: 3 Stars
Living in Texas, getting that musty smell/taste from the added chemicals during the summer out of the water is absolutely necessary. The Brita filter does the job well, creating water with taste that is nearly indistinguishable from bottled water. I also appreciate how easy it is to replace the filters simply by ejecting the old one from the base unit with a button press and clicking in a new one.
Very much on the negative side are the included adapters. As others have said, anyone whose sink fixture has internal threads (aerator screws in instead of over the fixture) will have problems. I solved the problem for my sink by heading over to the hardware store and grabbing a water hose adapter. I removed the hose adapter's washer and used one of the Brita ones, screwed the adapter into the sink fixture, and then the filter onto the adapter. Problem solved.
This would be a five star product, but the fact that I had to drive over to the hardware store and find/purchase a $4 adapter lowers the rating to three stars. Add another recommendation for Brita not cheaping out with rubber adapters; just include metal adapters in the package. I would have gladly paid the extra $0.50-1 it would have cost them.
Customer Review: Frustrating
Summary: 1 Stars
The first unit kept falling off the tap so I got a second one. The second unit kept falling off the tap. Duh. The connecting piece is plastic and the water pressure pushes it off the tap, stripping the plastic threads. Water Pik makes a sturdier tap unit. I've taken to filtering that through a Brita pitcher filter into a glass pitcher....well, it works!Customer Review: Good but might fall off
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product but it can be very easily knocked off the faucet. Adapters are all rubber instead of metal with rubber washers, making a very non-rigid connection. I have no problems with leaks and the filtered pressure is adequate.
