Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 35034 2-Gallon UltraMax Water Filtration Dispenser
Customer Review: Mold
Summary: 1 Stars
Throughout the years I have used and owned many different versions of the Brita Pitcher Water Dispenser. All of these filtered water containers have been great. The only complaint I have ever had with these filters is size. The Brita Ultramax Water Filter Dispenser was supposed to answer this problem. Unfortunately due to bad design, it introduced a multitude of problems that never existed with past Brita products.
Pro:
Size: This water dispenser can definitely hold a lot of water. (Ironically, this is really a disadvantage; as you will find below.)
Con(s):
Mold: If you do not let this filter dry within a maximum of two days, you will get mold. This mold will probably make you ill (sore throat) (Conversely if you look at it from another point of view - it will strengthen your immune system). To avoid this problem, the water dispenser should be washed every week at very least (to safe you should wash it more often). I have never had this problem with Brita's other products (I have friends who never washed their Brita pitchers for months, and there is not even the slightest sign of mold when they do wash it).
Left Over Water: Due to the faulty design of the product, there will be left over water both above the filter and below it. Besides turning the product upside down, you cannot dispense all of the water. This is just stupid and hints at the lack of quality assurance testing of this product. Not surprisingly, this helps further contribute to mold growth.
Conclusion:
Save your money and buy Brita's other well designed pitchers or even Pure's pitchers. (The key word is pitcher.) You will only waste time and possibly your health with this poorly designed product.
Description of Brita 35034 2-Gallon UltraMax Water Filtration Dispenser
The Brita Ultra Max water filter keeps great-tasting water flowing for all drinking and cooking needs. It eliminates the hassle of refilling the pitcher-style water filters and the expense of bottled water. The aquarium-like unit fits on the countertop, or on a shelf in the fridge so you'll have drinking water that is always cold. Its see-through base has a snap-on lid and cap for refilling, and the carbon filter reduces metals, chlorine, off tastes, and unpleasant odors. The filter lasts for up to two months of steady use. --Lynne SampsonBrands Tools
