Tools and Hardware Reviews of Applica Clear 2O Water Pitcher #CWS100A
Customer Review: Product shortcomings
Summary: 3 Stars
I contacted seller AND manufacturer because I have an old faucet in my kitchen sink and was concerned about whether the hose attachment (or one of its two additional adapters) would work with my faucet. I had read on the Firefly website that my money would not be refunded unless I returned the pitcher completely as it was sent to me with no packaging opened. I called and queried the manufacturer about how I could know if any of the attachments/adapters would fit my faucet if I couldn't completely unpack the parts to try them on my faucet. I was told that I "would know right away" without opening the packaging. Firefly also told me that if I returned the pitcher and its parts, all of its components/parts would have to be unopened and I would have to pay return postage if I wanted a refund. When the pitcher arrived (within the stated time frame), it turned out that its standard attachment and NEITHER OF ITS ADAPTERS FIT THE FAUCET IN MY KITCHEN. Also the tubing supplied is VERY short which makes it very difficult to fill the pitcher without its falling over in the sink. I now am filling it in my downstairs bathroom which does have a faucet that the main attachment to the hose on the pitcher fits (thankfully!). Typically the pitcher does fall over in the sink when I attach it to the faucet and it starts to fill, but I can then stand it up. I feel that the company should provide a longer hose as standard equipment. I asked about a longer hose when I spoke with the manufacturer but the longer hose (I think it was twice as long) was about 2 1/2 times as much money as the pitcher itself!!! Something like $45!! (The pitcher was around $18+). I thought this was outrageous! I noted that one or two customers who reviewed the pitcher had gone to a hardware store and purchased a longer piece of tubing and even found attachments that fit their faucet at their hardware store if the supplied ones didn't work. In my case, my kitchen sink's faucet was just very slighlty different in size than the closest attachment which was the permanent one attached to the tubing. I went to a local hardware store and two plumbing supply stores but none of these has an adapter that would fit my kitchen faucet (I do not know what brand of faucet it is. It's about 25 years old and I couldn't find a brand name on it). I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE TUBING THAT THE HARDWARE STORE AND PLUMBING SUPPLY STORES HAD WAS NOT INTENDED FOR DRINKING WATER!! It is used for pumps, so I didn't want to use it! (It defeats the whole purpose of getting a water filter pitcher in the first place!!!)
Having said all of the above, the water that is filtered by this pitcher is TERRIFIC!!! It is almost sweet. I had used both BRITA and PUR pitchers in the past and neither one completely removed all of the bad taste from my town water supply. Also the Clear 2O filter takes out far more contaminants and impurities than either PUR or BRITA do! So, in the end, I am really quite happy with the pitcher, though it is somewhat hard to fill even though I have a high faucet. It does fill very quickly though which is great. it uses water pressure in the system to force the water through its solid filter. Note that this pitcher is rated a "Best Buy" by Consumer Reports!!
There should be a better way to "make good" if a customer needs to return the pitcher due to no adapter working with their faucet. I WAS told by the manufacturer that they had one other adapter available but it too was very expensive and they couldn't guarantee that it would fit my faucet. I feel other customers should know about possible issues with this pitcher. But again, the water filtered by it far exceeds my expectations for taste and filtering abilities! I am using it all of the time now in spite of some inconvenience when filling it.
