A streamlined, sophisticated water filter that is so useful in these times... June 1, 2007

The Brita Chrome On Tap Faucet Filter lasts longer than the four months Amazon says it does--at least it did for me! I think it depends on how much you use the faucet this filter is attached to. The filter is relatively easy to attach to the faucet; you get directions but if you're still all thumbs (like me) a friend can install it for you in about two minutes. Brita makes a great faucet filter; and I'm going to tell you why.
The Brita filter does indeed remove at least some of the contaminants that are often found in faucet tap water. Once the filter is attached there's really nothing special you need to do--just turn on the faucet as you ordinarily would and the filter does all the work. The filter has a clear indicator light to let you know that it is time to change the filter so you get the maximum amount of use from the filter before you know for sure that you have to discard it.
In addition, the filter eliminates bad tastes and odors from your tap water. I have been fortunate enough that I have not experienced odors from my tap water but I do notice a very nice change for the better in terms of taste after the Brita faucet filter is attached to my faucet. It even helps to add fluoride to your water, too! What a great feature! You won't have to buy as much bottled water, either. Great!
One reviewer notes that these filters are not recyclable. In these times that's a crying shame. Perhaps Brita can re-manufacture these in such a way as to not change the design or ease of use too much while making these filters recyclable. I don't see why Brita can't do that; and I will take off one star for that to make this a four star review just as the other reviewer did.
Overall, this is a great faucet filter by Brita and the two pack is very reasonably priced, too. I highly recommend this filter for anyone who has concerns about the quality of their faucet water. If you have special health concerns about the quality of your water, discuss this Brita faucet filter with your doctor before buying it.
Put it on your faucet; and enjoy!!!

I have previously used the Brita water container, but the on tap water filter system is wonderfully easy to use! NO more awkard handling of a big water pitcher. I also enjoy the ability to switch between unfiltered and filtered water. It is small in size and not too bad to look at.
 Works fine - but flow of water is _very_ slow after a while May 17, 2005

We got this system about 10 months ago, and are on our 3rd filter now. It works great - our water tastes much better when it's been through the filter, and I assume it's also devoid of most of the nasty stuff in it. The one downside is that the flow of water through the filter is pretty slow, and it gets slower as your filter ages. One has to have patience to fill up a quart of water - takes 30 seconds easily when your filter is not brand new.

Filters not recyclable in US May 8, 2007

Overall, the Brita faucet filter is a good product. Per gallon, the cost is comparable to the pitcher style filter.
The main drawback to the Brita filter system (faucet or pitcher) in the US, you have no choice but to send the used filters to the landfill. I understand European countries do not allow this and have forced Brita to adopt a filter recycling program.
I hate to incur on Brita's profits, but I would highly appreciate such a program here in the United States.
