I have been through several Pur faucet mounts.. Each of them cracked and blew up. While Pur was good about replacing them, I was tired of the hassle and switched to the Brita faucet mount. They were pathetic as well. They kept getting detached from the faucet because they used these cheap plastic couplings.

With that said, I am happy to report that this new model uses a metal coupling. We''ve had it up and running for the past week and it incredibly solid with no sign of leakage. Most importantly, it looks like it''s going to stay on.

I feel is that everything we''ve used up on until now has been a beta test. This one new release feels like they ironed out the kinks. I will post an update if I find out otherwise.

UPDATE: 12/20/2011

We''re in our 3rd month and this is still working fine. No blow-ups or leaks.

UPDATE 1/4/2012

Ugggh. I''m sorry to report that it cracked and sprung a leak last week. The good news is that Brita is sending over a replacement PLUS, I have viable theory on how to prevent it. Even though the faucet connector is metal, the internal components are still plastic. The unit seems to be designed to withstand a certain level of pressure. My recommendation (which I will follow) is to minimize the pressure by going easy on how far turn the faucet when you''re in filter mode.

UPDATE 5/29/2012

Since the most recent update, this unit has been replaced 3x...all for the same reason. It starts leaking after about 3 months. We appreciate that Brita honors their 1 year warranty by sending us new units, but it''s getting annoying. Of course, I know their driver behind the willingness is they sell a lot of filters. But sheesh. Brita feel free to contact me. We love your product and what it''s designed to do. But you''ve got kinks you need to work out and I''m happy to provide direct feedback to improve the reliability of your system. Please give me a manager at Brita I can contact via the comments for this this review.

I see a lot of reviewers are having trouble with the base popping off. I sure know what they''re talking about, but I''ve been using Brita tap filters for at least 10 years and never have this trouble anymore if I follow these rules. And I don''t use the metal connector, I use the plastic one without any trouble. (I think the metal one will wear the threads on my faucet, so I avoid it.) Also, I''m using the other model of Brita tap filter, which has a spray setting. This one is thicker at the base for some reason. I''m not sure what kind of lever this one has for switching between filtered and non-filtered water, but I think these tips will still apply.

1. When you install the base onto the faucet, hold the base in a very level position. As you turn the ring to screw it on, you should feel no resistance at all. If you do, then you''re not holding the base in the correct position. It has to be perfectly lined up.

2. Install the base with the filter as far back on the left side as possible, so that it rests against the left side of your sink''s spigot. This will prevent it from moving around when you move the lever to switch into filter mode.

3. Use care when switching the settings. When you switch into filter mode make sure the water is off! Do not switch while the water is running. This causes too much sudden pressure on the filter base.

4. When you switch from one setting to the other, steady the base with one hand while switching with the other, and do so in such a way that the base doesn''t twist or torque at all.

5. Watch for any hint of leaking around the connection area, and when it looks the slightest bit less than tight, it''s time for a little maintenance. Remove the filter base and clean the screen inside (it gets clogged periodically and this is what causes pressure build up. If you''re using the adapter, before replacing the base, be sure to sure to check that it is still screwed in tight. Also be sure the little washer on it is in place.

6. Last but not least, never run the water faster than it can come out the filter! The filter can only filter about 3/8 inch stream of water. To run the tap any faster than this causes unnecessary water pressure.

7. One more tip for getting more life out of your cartridges. Have a water pitcher or 2, and filter a lot at once. This reduces the amount of time you run water through it to clean it before getting your drinking water, and reduces the amount of stuff for it to filter out per amount of water that goes through it.

If you follow these rules, you''ll be golden :)

I''ve used the older brita model for several years and was very happy with it. Sadly the indicator light stopped working on the base so I bought this new model. I hate it. Maybe I got a dud, but I cannot see the green light to tell me its working. AND the water pressure is horrible--about half of what the old one was. I may try a PUR. I''m so disappointed. This one is NOT an improvement. Why did they mess with a good thing?

I bought this product a month back and am disappointed. Water comes out as a spray contrary to smooth outflow as displayed on the Box. I tried calling customer service, but no help. It''s very difficult to collect the water if you are using a small bottle.

I hope this video helps other customers setting their expectations right.

I''ve been usuing Brita for several years and was always very happy with it. As the light stopped working on my old one, I got the new model and to say the least, am more than disappointed. First of all there is no light indicator at all that tells when the filter needs replacing. Secondly the spout for the filtered water does not come out like a stream anymore but splashes all over the place.It is impossible to fill a water bottle or thermos with it or anything with a small opening. Even holding a regular glass under it is tricky because none of the water comes actually from the center of the water flow. Instead, it splaches all over your hands and into the sink. The control knob is also a change I''m not crazy about.

I''ve got this new model at our local BJs at a price I thought was a bargain because it included two filters. I paid $30 but now realize it''s not even worth $10. My family also hates the way it works so I guess it''s "Good-bye Brita" .
