4.0 out of 5 stars Works great, much faster than reverse osmosis system, June 28, 2003

This review is from: Brita 42401 On-Tap Replacement Filter, 1-Pack, Blue/White (Tools & Hardware)

I've been using the Brita faucet mount for 2 years now. Our water is VERY hard, with sulfur smells and rust, and the Brita works as well as our reverse osmosis unit, which has three in-line filters. Plus, it doesn't slow down like the reverse osmosis unit does when using lots of water (family gatherings, etc). It is NOT as fast as normal tap water, so don't go thinking you'll get tap-water speed out of such an intense filter. I have to replace the filter approximately every 2-3 months, depending on usage. Very handy when the r/o unit starts running out of water. I tend to use both the r/o and the Brita when filling a pot for boiling, etc just to make it go faster. I've used both the PUR and Brita, Brita works better on our water, although, for best taste, I also run it through a pitcher filter (as I said, our water is BAD). Tastes better than spring water!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good filters, great price -- but the light sometimes stops working, March 20, 2006

This filter is much easier to use than some other faucet-mount models. Installing the filter system is relatively easy, and replacing filters is even easier. Amazon's price (for filter system as well as replacement filters) is the lowest I could find online or retail, especially when I get "super saver" free shipping. The only problem with my filter system is the green "filter-is-in-use-and-is-working" indicator light occaisionally stops lighting up for a few days at a time, but then works fine again. I'm not sure whether or not this means that the red "time-to-change-filter" light comes on later than it should. But so far it hasn't bothered me enough to call customer service...

I have been using the Brita Filter for a number of years. It makes the water drinkable from the faucet. I also use it for making tea or coffee. Prior to buying the Filter I had to buy water now I just use water from the filtered faucet. Very good to have.
