Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42202 Ultra Faucet Filter, with Pitcher
Customer Review: Here's why faucet filters don't work...
Summary: 2 Stars
It doesn't matter whether it is the Brita or the PUR. The problem is where they are installed: on the end of your faucet. Guess what happens about ten times a day? They get bumped. They get banged. They get whacked. They get loose. They start to leak. They break. That's it. Simple. They make perfectly good filtered water but they don't last because they mount in the worst place possible: right where you wash your dishes. You cannot help banging against them all the time. You can buy new ones over and over and they will break. I guarantee it. Get the countertop pitcher and be done with it. ekw
Customer Review: Filtered Water Tips
Summary: 4 Stars
We just purchased this Brita sink filter although we also have the Brita pitcher. I find it more convenient (especially cold winter water) than refilling the pitcher so often . So far it works great! A bit of advice to those whose filters clog very fast. I am in the home improvement business and strongly recommend getting a "whole house filter" ( I have one ) to filter the water before it gets to your hot water heater, clothes washer, and everything else affected by contaminents in most water systems. It should make your sink filter last longer.Customer Review: Brita is easier, but not necessarily better.

I had a PUR water filter for about 3 years and it worked fine. It came to a point, however, when changing the filter became too difficult. I purchased a BRITA water filter and was happy at the ease of replacing the cartridge. Plus the filter worked as well as the PUR filter (with the added bonus of a spray setting on the faucet.) When it came time to replace it again, I was dissapointed to see that the green indicator light was not working...(in fact no lights were working.) Now I am stuck with a filter that may not even be doing its job.Customer Review: Filter leaks
Summary: 3 Stars
After using the Brita faucet-mounted filter for over a year, a leak suddenly developed under the "collar" part which is attached to the faucet. It had nothing to do with the washer, which we checked. The water started spurting out in all directions.When I called the Customer Service, however, they promised to ship me a replacement without asking too many questions. I suspect this problem is fairly common as I have read about it on other review sites (some people started having this problem after 3 months).
Customer Review: Easy Filtered Water
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the ease of filtered water using the Brita Ultra Faucet Filter. It is easy to install and change the filter. I was using a filter pitcher for all drinking water but this is so much easier and filtered water is always available. No more waiting for the water to drip through the filter of the pitcher. The filtered water is clean and clear. It even lets you know when a new filter is needed. I will never be without one of these on the faucet.
