This is the classic Brita faucet-mounted filtration system that installs in minutes and lets you switch between filtered and unfiltered water with the flip of a switch. The Brita OPFF-100 uses the same filtering mechanism as the newer FF-100 system, but does not have an electronic filter change indicator. The OPFF-100 uses a mechanical meter to monitor the amount of water that has been dispensed from the system, and slowly rotates an indicator from green to red (which indicates that you should change your filter). The FF-100 uses an electronic LED to indicate when the filter should be changed (and costs quite a bit more than the OPFF-100). Brita part # 35214 Brita Water is Better Water Brita is the world's #1 brand of household water filtration. Our advanced technologies transform ordinary tap water into healthier, great-tasting drinking water. Brita's multistage filter reduces harmful contaminants (see table below) and has an added layer to trap sediment, so all that's left behind is great-tasting, cleaner water.

Good water filter

"I bought this product because it received a good rating from Consumer Reports. It was easy to install. The only downside about this filter is that if it gets bumped it pops off the faucet easily, but I had to use the adapter that came with it so that might have something to do with it...."

"On our first attempt at installation, we discovered that the proper faucet adapter was not provided with the filter.

Horrid, Inferior, DO NOT BUY

"This is an inferior, cheap, horrible product! It has already broken and cannot be used. The three thread on the mounting collar have already been stripped. It has been on the faucet a WEEK and used maybe 12 times. And it it already broken. ALREADY BROKEN. I am greatly disappointed with this and I think Brita should be ASHAMED to have their name on it."

"I tried to install the unit following the instructions in the manual, but the washer provided was so large for the unit that there was no way for the threads in the filter to reach the threads in the faucet. I tried the adapters, but they did not remedy the problem. Had to return the unit - very frustrated!"

"I like Britta for their pitchers. But this product did not stay on the faucet no matter how little the pressure. I don't know if it was the plastic adapter or I needed an adapter with more thread...but I had to send it back. [...] Would buy from filter-outlet again but not this product."
