Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita 42622 On Tap Filtration System, White/Chrome
Customer Review: It makes your water taste better. . .period.
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not a chemist, nor am I a physician (my wife is, though). I am, however, a parent, and I installed the Brita On Tap on my faucet because our water tasted terrible [highly chlorinated with other mystery chemical tastes] -- my daughter had trouble choking it down. The Brita changed that immediately after installation. The water is now really tasty!
People who are concerned about bacteria in their water should take greater steps than buying this type of filter. . . usually allowing the water to run for a bit before filling a glass will alleviate any potential harm from microorganisms. However, if bacteria colonize a filter (I'm not sure what they would live on inside the filter) running the water would probably not be adequate. If this is the case in your home, you have larger issues than inadequate filtration on your faucet. As chlorinated as our water is, however, I'm not sure what could live in it that wouldn't put us on the evening news.
I have backpacked and used filtration systems designed to filter out all sorts of nasty bugs. . . .this is not the correct application for this type of filter. Unless you're Howard Hughes, however, the filtration provided by this unit should be adequate for most of us in developed nations.
I'm only giving this unit four stars because installation was a bit of a pain. I would have preferred to use tools to securely install it, but it is a finger-tighten sort of deal (I have large hands, so I had a little trouble). Once I got it on, however, it was securely mounted and watertight.
I've heard that the unit does not filter out flouride from the water, but I haven't been able to confirm this. Actually, I want the flouride (and please spare me the conspiracy theories about the evils of flouridated water -- succomb to the bottled water marketers if this is a big concern). My wife insists that it is better for our daughter to have it in our water than not, and she's a sharp lady and an MD to boot. Our dentist friends uniformly say the same thing.
Bottom line: Great tasting water! Coffee even tastes way better nowadays.
