BRITA Basic Faucet Water Filter System, White, 1 Count

Good

The item started bypassing after 1 week of use and was properly installed as instructed from the manufacturer

This item, despite selling on amazon.co.uk, is not compatible with UK faucets ! It doesn't fit UK faucets, and is also not actually helpful as it does nothing for limescale. I've spent hours trying to get it to install on our kitchen faucet and finally got in touch with Brita UK, who provided me the following very helpful information: >>> Thank you for your enquiry regarding the BRITA On-Tap system. Unfortunately, we don’t have any information or spares for this product as it is manufactured by Brita in North America, (produced under licence by Clorox a US conglomerate who bought and own the trademark rights of "BRITA" in the Americas) and isn’t distributed or manufactured by us in the UK. If you have any queries regarding the system please do advise them that you are in the U.K. The reason that there is not a screw on water filter system that fits onto the tap within the UK is because there are 148 different types of taps so the system would need to be designed differently to fit all of these. In the USA and Canada there are only five different tap designs. In addition to this, the American screw on filter system that you refer to just uses a carbon block filter, this means that it would not have any effect on reducing the temporary hardness (Limescale) within the water supply, temporary hardness is of course the biggest problem within the UK water supply. However, BRITA do manufacture a filter tap system, which is attached to the household water supply, providing instant BRITA filtered water on tap. Please take a look at BRITA water filter tap solutions | BRITA® for kitchen taps which provide filtered water. We also produce a carbon only filter that can be fitted to your existing tap for customers who are not concerned about lime-scale and only wish to improve the taste of their water. <<<<

Seemed promising but then the light went completely off and stopped working , even when i tried to use brand new cat-ridges....Disappointing

Leakage after a week, poor plastic quality easily breaks. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!!

Why it’s on the market without filter replacement availability…

Don‘t buy. No replacement filters are available on Amazon UK, so you won‘t be able to replace the filter!!!

The pressure of the water got so reduced that takes a lot of time to fill anything, and it only took 3 months to the light to become red. And to be honest, the taste of the water has not improved at all

se deja puesto en el grifo, tiene un sistema de cambio de agua, si requieres para tomar, mueves un girador para accionar el filtro, si requieres para lavar lo que necesites, regresas al sistema de agua sin filtro.

Türkiyedeki sular için olduğunu sanmıyorum. Bizim sular çok sert ve bu cihaz bunun üstesinden gelemiyor. İade ettim usa amazon deposuna.

I am tired of wasting money on plastic crap that is just going to get thrown away and help pollute our wonderful planet. So I chose this, mainly based on the brand name as well as all the positive reviews that were given. I received it this afternoon and it took me a whole 10 minutes from box opening to turning the water on and letting it flush for 5 min. So 15 min total time for me, but longer for those that don’t pay attention to the instructions or have any common sense. It’s not rocket science. Also this thing isn’t gigantic, it looks a good bit bigger in the pictures. It’s about the same diameter as a Red Bull can and maybe 4” tall (guesstimate). The water flavor is a whole lot better than it is without the filter. So far so good. I have no complaints on this purchase as the price was good, got to me quickly, and seems to work perfectly. I have no regrets on the purchase, I will buy again as needed and will recommend to others. Update: We have run enough water through the first filter for the light to change (from green, to yellow, to red.) to let us know it was time to replace the filter. (which I purchased extra when I bought the unit) I have a chemical chlorine and a ph tester in which I used on the water both unfiltered and filtered. Our town's water does have a good amount of chlorine, which can sometimes be very strong smelling and southeast Florida in some areas are known for a higher lead level in the water supply. I don’t have any idea as to what our lead level is, as I have no way of testing for lead yet, but when I do I will update that info. Anyway, I can’t recall the initial level of chlorine or the initial ph, but the filtered water came out with what appeared to be no chlorine at all and the ph was 6.9. Both the original and the replacement filters produced the same results. So with that, we are very happy with everything that the system has been doing and have had absolutely no issues or problems with any of it including the aftermarket replacement filters. I still have no regrets on this purchase, with the exception of not getting it sooner. Update #2: Went to visit my mom in Texas and unfortunately the water in her town is highly chlorinated which both smells and tastes awful. So, they use a 5 gal water cooler for almost everything at her house and it is very hard for her to go get the bottles filled anywhere, so I pulled the phone out, opened up Amazon and ordered one and some replacement filters for her. Well she loves it, no more 5 gal jugs to have to fill, use, lift or have to worry about. Plus the machine does not get hot or cold and looks like it’s 30 years old. So with that, the water coming out of her kitchen faucet is not stinking of chlorine or anything else and is drinkable right out of the tap. So as soon as the 5 gal jugs are empty, those and the machine are gone. I don’t have my test stuff with me so idk what the chlorine or ph is now, so I can’t say what the results are but I can say I’ve been drinking nothing but tap water since I’ve been here. I will be bringing a bottle of it with me to test when I get home. So if you have crappy tasting water that’s highly chlorinated and smelly, this is what you need. I’ll be buying another again when or if it’s needed. I have absolutely no regrets on this purchase again. No need to look or compare with another, the price is right, it works very well, is easy to install and change filters. Just buy it, you’ll be happy. If I need another I’ll update again if anything is different.

Love the new sprout. Works so much better than the older model! Our old chrome Brita faucet started leaking after 3 years. Interchanging of water flow is much easier on this new model

Ce produit a un défaut de conception. Une fuite apparaît après un mois d'utilisation. De plus il est quasiment impossible de trouver des cartouches de filtration de remplacement à prix abordable en France.
