Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42202 Ultra Faucet Filter, with Pitcher
Customer Review: message to brita re: leakage
Summary: 2 Stars
It is guaranteed, these filters WILL leak eventually. Took about 15 mos. for the problem to become intolerable. although i've heard it could happen in as few as 3 months.. Here is a letter written to Brita...let's hope they respond.Hello, We've purchased the Brita Ultra Faucet Filter With Pitcher model 42202 with the FF-100 filter in April 2001. It has been an essential part of our lives (baby,etc) since there is quite a noticable difference in the quality of our tap water with and without the filter. We've even proudly endorsed your products to other members of our family and friends (they make excellent gifts!)
Our question is this. Upon first installation in March 2001, it was noticed that a few droplets of water were escaping from the filter in the area between the collar which attaches to the kitchen nozzle and the actual body of the filter. At first it was not an issue. However, now after 5 filter replacements the leakage has become much worse to the point of becoming annoying. Yes, it has been removed and reinstalled, however the problem lies between the spinning ring and the filter body itself, which appears unserviceable. Another issue is that the indicator LED has seized to operate. Even following the instructions (wait 30 seconds before installing the new filter so the chip could reset) did not work. It does not light (red/green) with any filter, used or new.
Well, the only solution we see is to purchase another FF-100 filter system, but is the life expectancy of these filters around one year? If so, will we need to continue this process every year? Or do you recommend another solution?
Thank you,
Rick A.
Description of Brita 42202 Ultra Faucet Filter, with Pitcher
No plumber needed, no tools needed! Here is the ultimate in convenience and filtration performance. Simply remove the aerator from your tap and replace it with this sleek little filter. When you don't need your water filtered simply flip the lever for unfiltered tap water.This water-filtration system installs without tools on household faucets to eliminate nearly all foul tastes and odors from drinking, cooking, baby-formula, and ice-cube water. Though it does not purify unsafe drinking water, its activated charcoal filter cartridge does capture 99.9% of cryptosporidium and giardia microbes and largely eliminates certain herbicides, pesticides, and solvents. A filter cartridge (one included) works for four months or 100 gallons; an electronic light glows red when there's about 20 gallons of filtering power remaining, and flashes red when a cartridge needs replacing. A handle on the back of the unit turns to permit unfiltered water to flow from the faucet, either as a stream or a spray, so the filter cartridge is not wasted when you wash dishes. The filter works only for water up to 100 degrees. A 9-quart plastic water pitcher with lid (11 inches high) is included. Clean exterior of filter system and pitcher with a mild detergent and a soft sponge or cloth. --Fred Brack
