Brita changed the way we think about water pitchers, and now the company is aiming to do the same with water faucets. The Brita faucet filter system attaches easily to your faucet without tools, and features an electronic LED filter replacement indicator that flashes red when the filter should be replaced. Merely turn on the tap and enjoy fully filtered, fresh-tasting water. Each Brita filter reduces such impurities as cryptosporidium, giardia, lead, asbestos, and benzene, while also eliminating bad tastes and foul odors. In fact, the Brita faucet filter is the most effective Brita filter, more efficient than the company’s popular pitcher filter. Users should replace Brita faucet filters every 100 gallons or four months, whichever comes first. –Rivers Janssen

I love this item – no bulky water bottles or pitchers taking up space in the refridg.
The water tastes absolutely delicious!
Light indicator flashes one time when you start filtering water – does not stay on at all times.

I have been using this system for over 2 years–the indicator battery has even been completely drained but it matters not because I replace the filter every 3 months no matter what. The reason is, besides getting extremely slow water stream from the filter, you are putting yourself more danger if you overuse the filter. Because the stuff the filter has been filtering clogs it up and if you overuse it you are pretty much drinking those accumulated and harmful stuff.
Now for those who complain about the plastic connector, I believe they over-tighten the connector to worn it out. Use some Plumber’s Tape (2 to 3 layers around the faucet tip should do) before you put the connector on and do not over-tighten. You can get the tape from a hardware store and it costs about less than two dollars for a small roll. And it will last the connector forever with no leaks, no falling off, etc..

Drip, drip, drip. One drip at a time. It takes 20 minutes to fill a pasta pot. We’ve had it 3 years (it never worked any faster than this) and sometimes I’m just tempted to just use the tap water and not worry about lead poisoning from the pipes.

Satisfactory service up to a year or two afterwhich the base fails to function with respect to the warning light feature. Previous bases also incurred leaks around the filter mount. That was the reason for my purchase of the new system.
