Brita Disposable Faucet Filtration System Review

Brita Disposable Faucet Filtration System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This device works as advertised and was very easy to hook up.It comes with a couple of different faucet adapters so whether the threads of your current faucet are inside or outside, there should be an adapter to handle it.The green light to indicate that the filter is still good is especially nice.My only complaint is that the flow if decreased by about 60-70% when using the filter so it takes a while to fill up anything larger than a drinking glass.Other than that, great product.

Brita 42645 Aquaview On Tap Filtration System Review

Brita 42645 Aquaview On Tap Filtration System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought this filter at my local BJs warehouse store three weeks ago and installed it that same day. My wife and I have been big consumers of Poland Spring bottled water and decided to try this product to cut down on costs and to cut down on usage of plastic, throw-away bottles.

I wasn't too sure I would like the water produced by this filter, but after three weeks of repeated use, I can vouch for the taste and the smell: both good. There is no characteristic "tap water" smell and you can't tell the difference from Poland Spring. Plus, it's very easy to install (comes with a variety of washers in case it does not fit straight off on your faucet).

It comes with two filters (good for about four or five months of use by an average family). You can get replacement filters easily at different stores (like BJs, Walmart, etc.).

Even if you currently drink water straight from the faucet, this product would be worthwhile for you to buy, for who wants to drink the lead and the chlorine that are present in most drinking water that is piped into homes in America? And if, like us, you are or were bottled water consumers, you will see no difference in taste AND see the savings mount up!

OCTOBER 8, 2005

After using this product for many months now, I can state I still think this is an excellent buy. We have not had to change the filter even once - maybe Jersey City water is not that terrible compared to other places in America. We did have to change the battery once, which I thought a little surprising.

But after reading the negative reviews, I have to wonder: we have had ZERO problems with hot water and drips, unlike what a couple of other reviewers have suggested. Definitely highly recommended.

CrystalQuest Faucet Water Filter Review

CrystalQuest Faucet Water Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Assuming that the filter cartridge works as advertised, I rate this a superior product (with caveats).

I have used other name brand faucet filters such as Culligan and PUR, and they were okay, but this one seems to have a more sturdy build, especially for the price. In addition, the flow rate is much better. With the others, it took over two minutes to fill a one-gallon jug; with this, about 35 seconds.

It also pivots out of the way with ease, whereas the others have an annoying friction, probably due to o-ring seals.

Yet, the CrystalQuest doesn't leak (after four months' use). It remains to be seen whether or not it will develop leaks; the others did after about a year of use. I suspect this one is less susceptible to leaks, due to its flow rate, which indicates much less back pressure.

Caveats: although the filter is highly rated, it does seem I get more of a chlorine taste than I did with my previous buys. And also, when I bought it, the filter cartridges were rated for a year/2000 gallons (much better than the others, typically 3 months/200 gallons), yet my warranty says void if the cartridge is used for more than six months.

Huh? Shouldn't the system be warranted for as long as the cartridge?

Anyway, for the price, I rate it better than the others I have used, and the price is right. The replacement cartridges are also more reasonably- priced than the bigger name brands.

Pur Ultimate Faucet Mount Brushed Stainless Steel Horizontal Filtration System Review

Pur Ultimate Faucet Mount Brushed Stainless Steel Horizontal Filtration System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using various Pur faucet filters through at least 5 units now.Originally the plastic rotate units, then 2 stainless in a row as I moved each time I'd just buy a new one leave the old behind.They are great.....

EXCEPT that the case tends to crack nearest the faucet hookup.This is particularly quick to happen on the units that rotate.But it has also happened to me with the stainless steel unit just happened to me on a SECOND stainless now.

ALSO the screw-on cap in front is a PAIN to remove.It's round and smooth and hard to find any grip on it when it's screwed in tight.They really should put a couple of flat edges to give your fingers somewhere to grab.Installing is difficult as well getting that last bit of turn-down to get it flush.

I keep coming back to Pur though even with these defects they are a great value.

Brita 42633 Faucet Filtration System, Black/Chrome Review

Brita 42633 Faucet Filtration System, Black/Chrome
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I may be reiterating what many of the reviewers before me have said, but I may have a few helpful points to add.

First, they should have never used plastic adapters.Kitchen faucets with internal threads are quite common and the likelihood is high that you will have to use one of the included adapters to attach the filter to that kind of faucet.The plastic threading simply can't withstand the water pressure that will inevitably push on it when you turn the water on all the way.

It would have been very easy for them to use quality steel parts, and I'm sure most people would have been happy to even pay $5-10 more for something that will actually last.It is especially surprising that they would cut corners on a product where the real profit comes from the replacement filters rather than the original purchase.Who knows what they were thinking (or if they were thinking at all), but this product simply doesn't work when setup correctly.

The use of plastic is not where the problems end, however, because there is literally less than a half an inch of exposed threading within the top portion of the adapter.The adapters themselves also have around a quarter inch of threading.This is really a shame, because even using a weak material like plastic might be sufficient if they had enough threads engaging to strengthen the connection.

That said, if you are set on using this product (or forced to), here are a couple of things you can do to help alleviate the problem.I've gotten mine to work long enough for me to order something from one of their competitors.

- Turn the water pressure down on your faucet.In case you don't know how, there are usually two levers (one hot, one cold) underneath your sink that control the water supply.Try tightening them until the water flow is slow enough that it won't blow the filter off.

- Try epoxy or a similar plastic bonding agent.I used epoxy to bond the adapter to the filter mount.You can then screw it on by holding the rotating ring in place.This is an irreversible and permanent solution, but it will make it so that there is only one point that will leak.

- Another poster suggested you can contact Brita to get a metal replacement adapter.That may be a good solution.However, keep in mind that you will still have to screw the metal adapter into a short length of plastic threading.That may simply shift the weakest point to a different part of the mount.

WaterPik F-8 Instapure Faucet Water Filter, contemporary style Review

WaterPik F-8 Instapure Faucet Water Filter, contemporary style
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have tried Brita and Pur faucet filters. Neither lasted. The knob on the Brita was hard to turn in the first place, but rapidly grew impossible to turn. The Pur broke soon after installing it. I have had the WaterPik faucet filters before and I don't know why I bothered to try other brands. This particular model is terrific. The flow of filtered water is strong(the Pur and Brita filters barely trickle,) and it has a nice feature whereby the filtering mechanism automatically turns off when you turn the faucet off. The handle is very easy to pull. It's a very effective, nicely designed and convenient filter. I just hope it is durable.

Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter Review

Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got my first Culligan faucet filter (FM 15) about 2 years ago after doing quite a bit of research.I finally chose the Culligan over Britta and Pur after reading Consumer Reports regarding their testing of water filters.The Culligan filtered out more impurities and the filter lasted MUCH longer than the others.Best of all it was cheaper back then, I don't know if it still is.

I've been very pleased with the filter with one exception.At my old apartment I had great water pressure.I guess too great for the filter.After about 9 months of use the plastic casing started to leak.The good news is that Culligan warranties the filter so I just took it back to Sears (where I got that one) and they gave me a new one.Thus, I still give it a five even with the problem since they warranty it.
