Brita Faucet Mount Water Filter for Sink, Removes 99% of Lead, Elite Advanced Filtration System, Includes 1 Replacement Filter, White

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.

Bottom line is these are good filters. Not like morally good but they function well. I bought them because the light on the front of my faucet-mount filter was blinking red. I figured the replaceable cartridge in there was past life. I buy these and install one - by the way, because the design of the filter and cartridge is very good, installation is very easy - so I installed one of these new ones and ran water thru it for five minutes per video instructions. That's a lot of water to collect and mess with your friends & loved ones with. The light was still blinking red. I double checked install, which again was very straightforward (almost difficult to get wrong). The light, however, still blinked red. So I grabbed the other new filter out of this two-pack and installed it. Five minutes worth of water later, red remained rhythmically aglow. I just couldn't believe it. Then, like a maroon signal pulsing in my mind's eye, it hit me. I took out the cartridge and looked at the area where the cartridge installed onto the mating part of the faucet mount. It was kinda dirty. Gross, right? I lathered a gentle soap onto my sponge and scrubbed, careful to avoid using the abrasive green side. As the mount looked up at me, glistening in an almost thankful way, I squeezed suds on the cartridge install-nipple down (so nothing goes into the filter), rinsed and re-installed. The light then blinked green three times after a satisfying click. I felt as a Roman, bending the water to my wishes. While this story is true, obv this review is written with (hopefully some) humor. But I'm serious the replacement filters are as high quality as all other Brita products.

Easy to install, I think the filter works properly. I needed it because I am living in a small town in Colombia

I got the Brita Faucet Mount Filter for my kitchen sink and I’m really happy with it. It was super easy to install—no tools needed—and the water tastes so much better now. I love that I can drink straight from the tap without worrying about weird smells or taste. The little light that tells you when to change the filter is a nice bonus too. Definitely a simple upgrade that makes a big difference.
