I have a Brita filter on my kitchen faucet. They are supposed to last 2 months, but on my faucet, they tank after 2.5 weeks. I don’t use the faucet excessively.
They are very expensive, so is there a way to unclog them? It just seems that they clog way too soon, maybe there are mineral deposits in my water. I live in a prewar building in NYC.
They should last longer than two weeks! They’re supposed to last 2 months!

I believe it may have something to do with the little rubber balls the the valve lever moves. Can these be replaced or fixed somehow? Any help would be great! Thanks

At first it stays on the faucet then it will pop off while the water is turned on. The first unit i returned and got a replacement because i had a 3 pack of filters to use up. I may go back to PUR after this. I was thinking to put teflon tape on it but it contains lead so that will just add to the problems.
maybe cross threaded it by why did it fall off the first time? If I screw it on when new it is fine until one day it just pops off
I’ve been drinking water from a Brita Filter from my bathroom faucet for several weeks now. Is this safe to drink from? Or are there contaminants in the air I should be watching out for, etc.??
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!!!!!!!!
I put it in the bathroom only because the filter did not fit on my kitchen faucet. Left me no choice. Thanks for reminding me
(Los Angeles) Every now and then, the water in my brita water filter turns green at the bottom. I’ve cleaned the filter many times and changed the filter itself. Is my filter growing algae or something or is the filter not catching something coming out of my faucet?!!
This is the second time it’s happened and I have not exceeded the lifespan of both filters. Is this green stuff going to cause me to get sick? I may have drank a cup or two without noticing.

I had an ectopic pregnancy in January and lost my left fallopian tube due to being 5 weeks pregnant and my tube bursting. I am scared to death that this has lessened my chances of getting pregnant. We have high hopes since I had an IUD when I had the ectopic.
Everything thing has been removed (IUD and left tube) and I healed nicely. My doctor says my ovaries are very healthy and I should have no trouble, but I wanna help that little tube out as much as possible. I am 28 years old and just found out I have the early stages of Arthritis in my lower back and a herniated disc. I am working to loose weight and I have physical therapy 2x a week to strengthen my core, helping to prepare to be in great baby making shape. I have started taking Prenatal vitamins, Super B Complex, B12, B6, Folic Acid for vitamin intake. I have sworn off all water that is not bottled if possible and I have a Brita filter at home. I never liked tab water to begin with anyway. I try to eat healthy but we are on a budget right now and I can only do with what I have. My husband and I are very active sexually and I was just curious as to all the things I can do to help this tube out. He is totally on board helping me with this. We desperately want a child. Right now stress is the worse factor considering this issue is driving me insane and I have to work and manage a household of three to boot. My husband and I take care of his 17 year old brother as guardians and its a lot to get used being newlyweds.

It passed the health inspection in Nov 07 but I am just worried about other issues, like I heard somebody found ameba (sp?) from well water.
It is late and we are all thirsty!
I know there is already a similar "resolved" question on the subject, but what I am asking is a bit different. I don’t mean to use filtered water in my portable dishwasher, just wonder whether the plug would be compatible with the threads located under the filter.
In other words, can I use that faucet for the dishwasher without having to dissemble the filter every time (which would be a real pain) or do I need a separate water outlet?

i got my info about fluoride being hazardous from an alternative health magazine and many other sources. for example, the british don’t use fluoride because they understand that it is a harmful chemical. because the u.s. is more vain, we like the fact that our teeth doesn’t look like SOME of theirs–even if it means that beauty is harmful and pain. anything man-made must be harmful to the internal system.
