Water Purifying Pitcher, 4-9/16x10-1/4x12-3/16
The most advanced Brita water filtration system for healthier, great-tasting water, right from your tap. It eliminates 98.5% of the Lead and reduces Sediment, Chlorine (taste and odor) and also reduces chemicals that may be linked to cancer risk (TTHM, benzene, TCE, toxaphene) that may be in your water.

Actually, I do know what it is: cheaply made.When it works, it works great. There is nothing like having fresh water at the tap without having to refill a pitcher every day. But it won't take long for you to realize that this device isn't made for the long term. Within months of owning small leaks start to occur around the device. Shortly after those appear, the leaks worsen and will actually run into the water you are wanting to filter. After spending over $100 on 3 replacements and how ever many replacement filters, I have learned my lesson the hard way on this product. You really do get what you pay for in this product. 41 of 41 people found the following review helpful: Poor construction, By This review is from: Brita 42201 On Tap Filtration System, White (Tools & Hardware) The plastic connector to the faucet is weak. It lost tightness within 3 months and started leaking. When I tried to tighten it, the internal plastic connector broke completely. Turns out there are only 2 small pieces of plastic connecting the two. Very bad engineering. Try something else. 73 of 81 people found the following review helpful: Like sands through the hourglass, By This review is from: Brita 42201 On Tap Filtration System, White (Tools & Hardware) I'm convenience-oriented. Having upgraded from the Brita pitcher, to the multi-gallon unit, and then getting the Faucet Filter I was excited for an improved Brita medium. Finally! No more soaking the filters, washing the container, refilling the container. Xanadu had arrived. The Faucet Filter worked superbly for 3 weeks, and then without warning its flow rate dropped to 1/10th the speed of a meandering trickle in January going uphill with a wind in its face. And yet the little green blinker indicated everything was a-ok. What I call the "Automated Water Filter Useless Light", or AWFUL, showed thumbs-up. So I timed it, because I am a [curious person] who does things like quantify product dissatisfaction. From the 2-gallon Brita UltraMax dispenser it took 32 seconds of joy to fill a 1 quart container to the brim. Yet, the same size jug from the faucet Brita took 2 minutes, 3 seconds. When you watch a tablespoon or cup of water drip to completeness it is as if your life is... Read more |
PUR 2 Stage Faucet Filter

I bought the second time becuase it starts leaking. Now the second one leaks again. I guess that's why the price is so low. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Very short lifespan, This review is from: PUR 2-Stage Vertical White Faucet Mount Water Filtration System, Model FM-3333 I got this for the kitchen sink about six months ago. It worked well for a while. Then cracks started to appear on the outer housing, from which water is leaking. Now it requires replacement. Another fine product of the People's Republic of China. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:  Lasted about a year, By Mike (USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: PUR 2-Stage Vertical White Faucet Mount Water Filtration System, Model FM-3333 I agree that the shape makes it very hard to get into - round and slick. The water does taste great, however, and the filters last a long time.BUT the very bottom part of mine cracked and popped off. When the filter is OFF and the water is flowing straight through without being filtered, the bottom part of the assembly has an internal thread mesh filter end-piece - the threaded part broke, so the mesh part popped off. I could have continued to use it, but without that piece the water was uncontrolled and splashed everywhere. This is not a piece that is under any stress, cannot be over tightened, and took no impacts, etc - it's just the mesh cap on the end of the spigot. So now I get to buy a new filter unit - hopefully one that uses the same filters, as I have several of them left. |
