Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42201 On Tap Filtration System, White
Customer Review: Wears out too quickly
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased Model FF-100 not 5 months ago. I replaced one filter in that time span which is not big deal. I bought a 4-pack of filters.
The problem is that the filter ways too much so it is 'top heavy' on that side and places too much strain on the unit. Now the water just comes out from all directions. It doesn't leak where the unit connects to the faucet but as I said, everyplace else including the seam where the filter connects to the unit, even when I am not using the filter mode.
This is a very poor setup and I am stuck with 3 new filters. I am not about to buy another faucet filter for $30 dollars just to have it wear out in 5 months.
Don't waste your money!

Customer Review: Trickle trickle

Worked great for about 3 weeks, then the flow got painfully slow. It was literally filling our water pitcher drop by drop by the time we hit 4 weeks. The unit itself seemed be fine, when I removed the filter and turned on the tap, the water sprayed out the appropriate hole fine. We were told by Brita customer service that the filter probably got loaded down with particles that it filtered out of the water, so we changed the filter after 1 month. Now about 2 weeks later, we're starting to see the slow down again and we don't have heavy tap water. The system is good, but the filters aren't and it would be way too expensive to have to replace them every month. I never had that problem with the pitcher!Customer Review: stuck plastic adapter

I have a rather frustrating problem. I have enjoyed my Brita faucet filter units for many years. I have only had to buy new units when I moved cross country a few years ago. This one, unfortunately, is making me nuts. After replacing the washers, assemblies, and everything in the faucet handles to stop all the leaking, the Brita started leaking and acting up. I tried to simply remove the Brita, but the threads on the adaptor are stripped and I cannot get the darned thing off! I finally had to bust the unit off the adaptor. I think I will have to buy a PVC saw to saw the adaptor off! Help! Any suggestions? Next time I will use a metal adaptor/connector. I have never had this happen before.Customer Review: AAARRRGGHH!

What a frustrating piece of junk; I can't recall any other inanimate object that I have wanted to punch so much as I would like to punch this thing.
The similarly priced Pur filter that I bought previously broke after about a month so I decided to give Brita a try. It seemed OK for a few days, but then it just started falling off all the time.
Literally every 3rd or 4th time it is used it either shoots water in my face and then falls off or just falls off. I diligently put it back in place, test it, usually get spared in the face a few more times, and eventually get it to stay. An hour later it's spraying my wife in the face.
Horrible device.

Summary: 1 Stars
I went through three complete systems, assorted adapters, teflon tape and different washers and over $100 plus 6 hours of labor including trips to hardware store...and I gave up.
Bottom line: TOO FEW THREADS on the plastic collar to adequately catch & attach to either the faucet or any given adapter. Brita even sent me a complimentary filter set and adapters. There is no way this unit could maintain a seal and stand up to any amount of stress or rotation. I would advise anyone to try another brand, get the pitcher, or bottled water. It was a frustrating waste of time, but Brita did offer to send me a free pitcher w/filters to compensate me for my loss.
