Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42401 On-Tap Replacement Filter, 1-Pack
Customer Review: I'm not a chemist, but the water tastes better.
Summary: 5 Stars
We live in a rural area and the water often develops some combination of cloudiness, odor and flavor. We do not want to drink tap water with any of those features.
We have tried the other brands of faucet mounted filters. While none of them, including the Brita, are perfect, we do like the Brita the best. The replacement filters are easy to install and last a comparable amount of time to those of their competitors that we have tried.
We make heavy use of filtered water: drinking, coffee pot, water for tea, etc. adds up to about five gallons a day. Combined with the less than cleanest water to begin with, we change filters more frequently than many - but the advertised 100 gallon mark seems about right.
Do check Amazon's prices for these filters. They change very, very often. Sometimes the two pack is the better deal, sometimes two of the one pack is cheaper. I start checking a few weeks before we're about to run out so I can get lower prices - and the difference can be significant.

Brita 42201 On Tap Filtration System, White
Customer Review: Works great, much faster than reverse osmosis system
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using the Brita faucet mount for 2 years now. Our water is VERY hard, with sulfur smells and rust, and the Brita works as well as our reverse osmosis unit, which has three in-line filters. Plus, it doesn't slow down like the reverse osmosis unit does when using lots of water (family gatherings, etc). It is NOT as fast as normal tap water, so don't go thinking you'll get tap-water speed out of such an intense filter. I have to replace the filter approximately every 2-3 months, depending on usage. Very handy when the r/o unit starts running out of water. I tend to use both the r/o and the Brita when filling a pot for boiling, etc just to make it go faster. I've used both the PUR and Brita, Brita works better on our water, although, for best taste, I also run it through a pitcher filter (as I said, our water is BAD). Tastes better than spring water!Customer Review: with chlorine gone, you need to wash your bottles more
Summary: 5 Stars
This last spring after refilling disposable Dasani bottles six or more times before discarding, I broke down and bought a much nicer Nalgene bottle to join the throngs of ridiculously brand-loyal outdoor enthusiasts and people who want other people to believe they are outdoor enthusiasts.
Since then, I have found a disturbing trait of the Brita on-tap filter. It strips chlorine out of Chicago tap water all TOO well. I used to depend on that bleachy pool-fresh scent to keep away the stale you-need-to-wash-your-bottle smell. So while some may call the water purified or even suggest that it does better for my personal hygiene, I prefer to let the chemicals in my tap water do my work for me.
Customer Review: Good filters, great price -- but the light sometimes stops working
Summary: 4 Stars
This filter is much easier to use than some other faucet-mount models. Installing the filter system is relatively easy, and replacing filters is even easier. Amazon's price (for filter system as well as replacement filters) is the lowest I could find online or retail, especially when I get "super saver" free shipping. The only problem with my filter system is the green "filter-is-in-use-and-is-working" indicator light occaisionally stops lighting up for a few days at a time, but then works fine again. I'm not sure whether or not this means that the red "time-to-change-filter" light comes on later than it should. But so far it hasn't bothered me enough to call customer service...Customer Review: This filter works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the faucet mount filter system by brita and the replacement filters are great. I have had no trouble with them at all and the amount of money they save me from having to buy bottled water is well more then the cost of them. I have well water and yes it is better than city water it still has things in it that can make it taste bad but with this filter the water from the tap taste better than most bottled water and my son loves to drink it now..it also helps me when I am cooking and need to use water to be sure it is safe and pure..try it for your self you will see it is greathttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000657T5/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title
