Brita 35214 Base Faucet Filtration System Save 17% Off

• Compact, horizontal design that is out of the way of activities around the sink.
• System lasts up to 1 year! 3x the filter life of 1 replacement faucet mount filter.

If you buy this, save yourself potential headache and IMMEDIATELY call the Brita 800 # and ask for metal connectors. I haven''t had success keeping the connection tight without the metal ones. The cheap plastic connectors included in the original package are almost guaranteed to fail. Brita must know this...I wish they would fix this problem and just include the metal ones standard.

After connecting this unit I found that an increase in water pressure caused the unit to pop off at the threads. I''m not talking about a lot of pressure here either. It appears that the orifice used to channel the water up thru the filter is too small which in turn builds up a lot of back pressure. Also the few times that I got it to work, I had to slooowly run the water. This is a really bad design. The last unit I had was a Teledyne and worked great, I just couldn''t find filters for it. I guess I''ll buy the one from Pur and see what happens.

Follow-up: turned out the unit came with a clogged filter cartridge. Unfortunaely I found this out after buying another brand.

and it will work great. Call them and they will send them to you for free. They send a full set of metal parts that should work with most faucets -I have successfully used them with different faucets in two apartments, and my current faucet is very old, but I was able to find an adapter in the set that works. The metal connectors solve the problems with water pressure, and are more durable. Do it before you mess up the base by tearing up the threads trying to get it on tight enough.

We bought this to replace the Pur Flavor Options filter when it bit the dust (leaking and spraying and impossible to install properly) after a year of use. The first thing my husband told me when he installed it is that it''s held together by plastic threaded pieces and you can''t overtighten it or it will pop the threads and fall apart. He was very unimpressed. Well, within two or three days of installing it, I accidentally bumped the filter while swinging the faucet from one side of our double-sink to the other. Sure enough, just that small movement loosened the threads and now we can no longer tighten them down enough to make a good seal. Water sprays out of the top of the unit (and onto us and the counters) every time we turn it on, whether for filtered or unfiltered water. The knob to switch between Brita water and tap water is also more difficult to turn than I think it should be. It feels awkward and I''m always afraid that just the movement of turning that knob is going to loosen the filtration unit even more. As soon as we can find the receipt, this thing is going back to Lowes. I''ve always loved Brita products but this is a big disappointment.

Don''t waste your money on this unless you want carpal tunnel syndrome in your wrist due to how terribly difficult it is to switch from filtered to non filtered water. Tried lubricating it with no luck.
