Brita Faucet Mount Water Filter System, Includes 1 Filter, White

I am tired of wasting money on plastic crap that is just going to get thrown away and help pollute our wonderful planet. So I chose this, mainly based on the brand name as well as all the positive reviews that were given. I received it this afternoon and it took me a whole 10 minutes from box opening to turning the water on and letting it flush for 5 min. So 15 min total time for me, but longer for those that don’t pay attention to the instructions or have any common sense. It’s not rocket science. Also this thing isn’t gigantic, it looks a good bit bigger in the pictures. It’s about the same diameter as a Red Bull can and maybe 4” tall (guesstimate). The water flavor is a whole lot better than it is without the filter. So far so good. I have no complaints on this purchase as the price was good, got to me quickly, and seems to work perfectly. I have no regrets on the purchase, I will buy again as needed and will recommend to others. Update: We have run enough water through the first filter for the light to change (from green, to yellow, to red.) to let us know it was time to replace the filter. (which I purchased extra when I bought the unit) I have a chemical chlorine and a ph tester in which I used on the water both unfiltered and filtered. Our town's water does have a good amount of chlorine, which can sometimes be very strong smelling and southeast Florida in some areas are known for a higher lead level in the water supply. I don’t have any idea as to what our lead level is, as I have no way of testing for lead yet, but when I do I will update that info. Anyway, I can’t recall the initial level of chlorine or the initial ph, but the filtered water came out with what appeared to be no chlorine at all and the ph was 6.9. Both the original and the replacement filters produced the same results. So with that, we are very happy with everything that the system has been doing and have had absolutely no issues or problems with any of it including the aftermarket replacement filters. I still have no regrets on this purchase, with the exception of not getting it sooner. Update #2: Went to visit my mom in Texas and unfortunately the water in her town is highly chlorinated which both smells and tastes awful. So, they use a 5 gal water cooler for almost everything at her house and it is very hard for her to go get the bottles filled anywhere, so I pulled the phone out, opened up Amazon and ordered one and some replacement filters for her. Well she loves it, no more 5 gal jugs to have to fill, use, lift or have to worry about. Plus the machine does not get hot or cold and looks like it’s 30 years old. So with that, the water coming out of her kitchen faucet is not stinking of chlorine or anything else and is drinkable right out of the tap. So as soon as the 5 gal jugs are empty, those and the machine are gone. I don’t have my test stuff with me so idk what the chlorine or ph is now, so I can’t say what the results are but I can say I’ve been drinking nothing but tap water since I’ve been here. I will be bringing a bottle of it with me to test when I get home. So if you have crappy tasting water that’s highly chlorinated and smelly, this is what you need. I’ll be buying another again when or if it’s needed. I have absolutely no regrets on this purchase again. No need to look or compare with another, the price is right, it works very well, is easy to install and change filters. Just buy it, you’ll be happy. If I need another I’ll update again if anything is different.

Very nice filter easy to install and the water taste great and feel better to me I even think the unfiltered parts are better than what my apartment had on there. I’m more confident washing my dishes cleaning fruits and vegans even boiling water

Hassle free installation and works great! I can definitely taste the difference in my water! We have very hard water that sometimes has a slight rust color and this makes it come out crystal clear and tasting great!

This is the "electronic" version, i.e., it actually has an LED that changes color as the filter gets to the point it needs changing, instead of a window on the top where you have to use a flashlight to see the filter status. Pros: 1. It filters the water as expected, and the filter status indicator is easy to see. 2. It uses the same filters as the "non-electronic" version (either white or chrome), which is good, because we bought a bunch of spare filters for the chrome unit we just threw out. 3. It mounts to the sink using the same technique and fittings as the non-electronic units. 4. Water flow from the unfiltered side is much better than on the non-electronic units. 5. You get an extra "spray" selection for unfiltered water in addition to the typical "stream"; I'm not sure how much of an advantage this is, but it IS an option you don't get on the non-electronic units. Cons: 1. The LED operates with a battery internal to the sink attachment and supposedly lasts for at least 5 years, but it's not replaceable...when it dies, you have to buy another unit. I can't vouch for battery life, since we just got this unit a couple of months ago. Battery life is extended by having the indicator flash only briefly as you draw filtered water...it's not constantly "On," so you may have to wait for a second or two before the light blinks, showing you the filter status. 2. The instructions say to attach the unit to the faucet using only finger strength to tighten it, but unless your fingers are a lot stronger than mine, you can't get it tight enough to eliminate leaking with fingers alone. I had to use pliers, and it works just fine. WARNING: Use pliers to tighten VERY CAREFULLY. It's a plastic unit and you can easily break something or strip the threads, so tighten very slowly, just a little at a time, and only just enough to stop any leaking. Make sure all of the washers are properly in place before you install the unit on the faucet and make sure you haven't cross-threaded it. It's not that difficult, but if you have the reverse-Midas touch (every DIY task you attempt turns into unusable scrap), have someone with more finesse install it for you. 3. The electronic model only comes in white...only the cheap (as in "poorly designed") model comes in Chrome, but don't be tempted by that model, regardless of color. 4. Water in the "stream" mode tends to spray a bit...at least until the unit is "broken-in" a bit (a couple of days of normal use). I find that if spraying occurs, backing off on the water flow for a second and then increasing it to the desired level again helps to regenerate the expected stream. All in all it's a decent unit that does what it's advertised to do. Don't be sucked in by the less expensive, non-electronic units.

​I recently upgraded my kitchen with the Brita Faucet Mount Tap Water Filtration System in Chrome, and it has been a remarkable improvement for my household's water quality.​ Pros: Effective Contaminant Reduction: This system is certified to reduce up to 99% of lead, chlorine, and asbestos contaminants, ensuring safer and better-tasting water directly from the tap. ​ User-Friendly Installation: The installation process was straightforward, with clear instructions and all necessary components included. It took only a few minutes to set up, and the unit fit securely onto my existing faucet. ​ Convenient Filter Indicator: The built-in filter indicator is a handy feature that notifies you when it's time to replace the filter, approximately every four months or after filtering 100 gallons. This ensures optimal performance without the Dual Spray Options: The system offers two spray options—filtered and unfiltered—which can be easily toggled based on your needs, adding versatility to daily kitchen tasks. ​ Cons: Potential Leakage: Some users have reported minor leaks during filtration, which may require the use of plumbing tape to secure a tighter seal. While I haven't experienced this issue personally, it's worth noting for those considering the system. ​ Conclusion: The Brita Faucet Mount Tap Water Filtration System in Chrome is an excellent investment for anyone seeking to improve their tap water quality without the need for bulky pitchers or under-sink systems. Its efficient filtration, ease of installation, and user-friendly features make it a valuable addition to any kitchen.​

This product claims to filter up to 99% of impurities. In fact, it does not. I tested the water using an Zerowater tester after installation and allowing the filter to flush for over 15 minutes and the water coming out of the filter contained even higher PPM of impurities than that of the water straight from the tap. To confirm my findings, I also tested water from the tap that I had filtered through a Zerowater filtering pitcher. The Zerowater contained 0 PPM. Normal tap water contains 31 PPM and the Brita filtered water actually tested higher at 38 PPM.

We have owned a Brita faucet filter for several years now and have mixed experiences with each. The reviews detailing the cheaper plastic parts used on the faucet connector are accurate. I went to a local hardware store and bought metal faucet adapters to connect the device to our faucet and these worked great and hold the device in place without problem. What few people realize is if you thoroughly read the instruction manual, it states you can contact Brita for metal adapters and they will mail you several different adapters to replace the cheap plastic adapters that arrive with the unit. I had Brita send me some for backups. Trust me, save yourself many headaches and get a metal faucet adapter (you can use garden hose style adapters). Recently, our base (faucet connector), quit working after a year and a half. The light indicator quit working and I've learned these lights have a permanent battery inside which cannot be replaced, meaning you must purchase a new base every two years or so if having a light indicator is important to you. I want to note: the new base we ordered from amazon is 10 times better than the base we bought at a retail store. The new base features a metal threading allowing the base to lock securely to the faucet. This metal threading is much more efficient in keeping the base and filter connected to the faucet head. It appears Brita has responded to the numerous complaints of this unit falling off into way too many sinks every time the water was turned on. I also noticed the switch on the base used to switch from filtered to regular faucet water is much easier to turn and actually glides with the simplest of touch. On our old filter the switch was very difficult to turn and often led to us turning the entire base just to flip the switch. Overall I am very pleased with this unit. The filters have always turned our nasty tasting apartment water into a refreshing drink and now with the improvements made to the base unit, we couldn't be happier with our faucet filter. Please realize it does appear this unit has been modified over the years so be certain you receive a filter base with metal threading rather than plastic. Pair this base with a metal faucet head adapter and you'll never see the filter go flying into the sink again. 5/5 stars for the newly modified Brita faucet filter.

I debated over this purchase because of some reviewers complaining that the faucet mount drips/leaks after awhile. It seemed competing brands also had similar reviews. So I gambled and bought the white Brita faucet mount because I liked the look, the two spray settings in addition to the filtered water flow, and I hoped to get a year out of it. It broke about a few months after use on the kitchen sink. It started leaking while the filtered water option was running. So I had basically two flows of water happening. The light indicators also stopped working a day or two later after some flickering about. The filtered water tastes great and according to the instruction manual about their water regulation standards/certifications...Brita is just as legit as Pur. It is amazing the CRAP this filters. I noticed a difference immediately when I went to brush my teeth in the unfiltered bathroom faucet. I gagged at the smell of the chlorine that I never noticed. Side Note: I now have a dixie cup dispenser(from Amazon) hanging next to my kitchen sink because I must now brush using filtered water or I gag. I spit in the cups NOT the sink BTW. Anyways...I contacted Brita via the customer service number listed in their instruction manual. They promptly sent me a check for $30 to replace the broken faucet. The rep did not seem at all surprised that I was reporting this problem. She did not request the broken unit back which I offered to ship back, and I was honest and told her I paid less than the $30 on Amazon. She just wanted to know if I had bought the two or the three option spray mount. I hope to get at least 6 months out of this new mount. It is so much more convenient than dragging out the water pitcher from the fridge. Oh and my husband easily identified the reason it was leaking. The water drain/seal the unit comes with broke. It is flimsy plastic around the edges and it seemed a bit bent in on the sides hence the monster leak. I asked the rep just to send me this new part as to not fill up the landfills, but she said they were out of that part. It sounded like they are always out of that part.You could probably just go buy another one at the hardware store. It was as no hassle as you can get as she wanted to end the call stat. The new filter has been up and running for less than 2 months now. I will update if it starts to leak again. Judging by the quality of that seal... I will be expecting it. Good Luck!

se deja puesto en el grifo, tiene un sistema de cambio de agua, si requieres para tomar, mueves un girador para accionar el filtro, si requieres para lavar lo que necesites, regresas al sistema de agua sin filtro.

Türkiyedeki sular için olduğunu sanmıyorum. Bizim sular çok sert ve bu cihaz bunun üstesinden gelemiyor. İade ettim usa amazon deposuna.

UPDATE: More than a year later and still going strong, just changed the filter for the first time. As someone who hates to drink tap water that hasn’t been put through a filter, this product is pretty much the dream for me. Having access to filtered water at all times has been amazing, and so far I’ve been very impressed with this water filter. Installing it was easy, it comes with a variety of parts to allow you to attach it to almost any kind of faucet. For me personally, it took less than 5 minutes, just a little twisting and tightening and then I was done. The filter itself has three settings. The first is a unfiltered spray, just letting the water flow right through without anything in the way. This mode tends to be a little messy, but provides you with a lot of water very fast. The second mode is also unfiltered, but is a bit neater and is more controlled for a more even flow. The third mode is the filtered one, and it’s much finer and slower than the other two. A small light will flash when this mode is active, so you know it’s working, and the water will clearly come out of a section of the filter system that is slightly different from the other two. Since the streams are so different, it gives a great visual cue so you won't accidentally have it on the wrong setting. The filtered water seems great to me, and starts working the second you flip the switch, there’s no delay at all. When you’re done with it, just flip it back to one of the other two settings and you’re done. I would advise leaving it on unfiltered as running hot water through the filter is really bad for it, so better to accidentally have unfiltered water than damage the filter. The filtered water is much slower, but it’s not a problem if you’re filling a glass or a bottle. Filling a whole pot or jug with filtered water is quite slow, but I imagine most people will use the other settings for those kinds of things. The actual amount of space taken up by this filter is minimal, but if you have a small sink like I do it is noticeable. Having even then extra space blocked from view by the filter can be annoying, but it’s easy to swivel my tape to the side so it’s out of my way, and most sinks will be large enough that the tiny filter will probable not bother you. If you have a moveable tap especially it won't be a bother. To me, this is much easier than the filter jugs and better value.

Bought my first one in USA bought regular great to filter water right from tap

Love the new sprout. Works so much better than the older model! Our old chrome Brita faucet started leaking after 3 years. Interchanging of water flow is much easier on this new model
