I was confused about the filter replacement indicator as well because it wasn’t glowing like what it says in the user’s guide! I even turned the lights off to see if it can glow in the dark but it was just a pale green colour. Glad to find out I’m not the only person thinking that lol
The indicator light got me too the older version of the brita faucet filter had a blinking light. We had it but it recently broke and I needed to replace it but all target had was this same crome one so i used it for about a week and still no light its only when I returned it and bought a different one did I realize its not a light anymore. 😂 I didnt even think to turn to google or youtube to look it up until now 😂
THANK YOU! I’ve been searching all over about the “indicator light” thinking mine was broken. You’re video was the only helpful one that actually explained that it’s not a light! So thank you! :)
Great water filter. The white model is Model SAFF-100; Replacement filter is FR-200. On ebay filter base [including a filter] is $19.00. Good for 100 gallons. Replacement filter is $10.
Thank you so much. I ran my water for 5 minutes and thought it was supposed to glow right after and it didn’t. I then put my phone light to it and saw that it was green. I then went on TH-cam to see if it’s supposed to light up, glow or is it supposed to just show the indicated colors as is. Thanks for the entire video. It helped in general.
Thank you for the review just bought my Britta filter and I was waiting for an LED light to come on just like the pure filter and found your video very helpful thank you
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I literally stood in front of he sink for 20 minutes waiting for a green light to pop on lol after watching your video I learned that I have to look down onto the filter system to verify if it was ready or not lol thank you!
Michelle Ross Happy to hear the video helped. I still wasn't sure the thing wasn't supposed to glow, so I called them. They confirmed that this model has a "color wheel" and not a light.
Really great, mine are inside too and I had no idea. This video was great. I can do that. I have the brita basic and it's been sitting a while since I knew they were inside and I don't know anything about plumbing or any of that stuff. Thanks again, JJ
These videos always take too much time to get to the point...FINALLY after screaming at my phone for 20 minutes, the actual "how to" starts and it's in fast forward ×35, and skips the important parts
Absolutely excellent review. You have such a great voice. You sound like a country singer.😊😊😊 One thing I want to know, can hot water be used on the unfiltered side so people can wash dishes?
Lol. Thanks - I think 🙃. Hot water can be ran as long as the filtration is set to off. Hot water would ruin the filter if it is ran through it. It is designed so that turning off/bypassing filter allows for either hot or cold water to be ran unfiltered
Do they really work? Do they really remove all that junk, in our tap water? Can you taste the clean difference? Also, thank you so much for this video! If and when I do get one, this video will be very helpful for me! :)
To my knowledge it works with the two most standard faucet thread types. If it’s a super fancy faucet it might not work. Call Brita support. They can tell you if the faucet you have works
KeyCentral: What's the difference between the chrome and white filters? I don't mean the complete systems, just the filter cartridges. They're apparently interchangeable, so why the different materials?
i had noticed that it wasn’t actually a light but like a green sheet and was happy when i found it before having trouble like others in the comments who couldnt see a light
Trouble shoot the green indicator light it will tell you to take off the filter and press down on the pin several times replace filter and you have the indicator light working, worked for me
Ordered this brand I believe... I have a weird sink but I’m 98% sure it’s a non spray non pull out sink typeee.. I hope this works cause it’s non refundable :// thanks for the helpful video hope this works for me.!!
You are either using the wrong size adapter or you don't need an adapter at all. I couldn't get mine on at first then I tried it without any of the adapters and it worked great!
My tap water has a bitter taste so i started drinking bottled water-it can add up in money so i got me one of these and im extremely satisfied- easy to install now i have clean tasting water with a hint of sweetness what a bargain for under 28.00 bucks
I think you’re referring to the faucet aerator. That’s the mesh strainer that’s screwed into the bottom of the faucet (where the water comes out.) It has to be removed so the threads can be used to mount the Brita filter.
+Aniyah di Lioness it can, but not through the filter cartridge. There is a free flow setting and a filtered setting. Hot water should only be used on the free flow setting.
KevCentral Thanks, you have answered my question. I think it might be cheaper just to go with a Brita pitcher - less hassle - should I screw up something. I rent and I don't want to cause problems that I may have to pay for. Like the dude doing the illustration, I don't have the space to work with. Great video though.
Hello. After changing the forth filter, the light on my filtration system didn't work. I opened the system and changed the battery but it only worked for one day and went off again. Does this mean my system broke down or was it only because of the light?
You have to swtith the level to tap and hot water come out of that in. You don't remove your filter to run hot water. You have to watch video he show it
Oh really! They even have different names, one is called "advanced faucet filtration system" and the other is called "complete chrome filtration" so I thought maybe they had slight differences, do they both have the light indicator when its almost time to switch filters?
I was referring to the Brita filters for the 'OnTap Filtration System.' They make a chrome version (like in the video) and a white version. The cartridges are the same - only differing in color. That's for the OnTap. Brita also makes other faucet filtration systems, but I don't have any experience with the different models.
Thank you for quick response. I have a 5stage RO system in the kitchen . But am in the market to purchase chlorine filter for bathroom faculty. NYC water is terrible. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Great video BTW.
Brita faucet filter system-not worth the money. works for a month or so then hard to turn on/off and filter flies off faucet when turn on. New filter won't work on old units. Try something else.
Bahahaha just did the same. Couldn't help it. Reminds me so much of my dad insofar that directions MUST be read (I honestly am pro directions myself also), then determines he needs a special part and makes a special trip, only to return and start the install and we see he didn't REALLY read all the directions and brita supplied the special part that was stilk sitting in the box hahaha so i had to finish it :)
randomnessextremez brita doesn't even filter the water that well I took strained lime enriched water and I had to filter it 10 times and I was surprised it still looked cloudy
That's because it is ok to drink tap water. Actually buy a ph tester and you will see that your tap water is actually cleaner then your bottle water. The reason tap water has a weird taste is because it has a little bit of chlorine in it to keep the water clean.
For someone who drinks bottled French-named tap water at ridiculously inflated prices, it shouldn't come as a surprise that you don't know which direction screw threads go.

13:11 for anyone who was looking about the LED light. I was going crazy trying to figure this out! Lol thanks for the vid

Lol i did the same thing that’s why i came to this video
Same
I can use this water filter every month right?
Thank you for the demonstration. Now I'm going to purchase some filters for future use.
Thank u for this video! I thought I was going mad when I didn’t see a green glow or LED light.
Ugh you too?! I thought it was broken until I read your comment because I didn't finish the video
Water has to be going through the filter for the light to glow
There is no light on this model. It’s a color wheel
@@KevCentral Whatever it may be, Water has to be flowing through it for the feature to work
Good video, I was looking for a bright green too couldn't. However your video confirms that what I saw of the green is only what's there.
Really great, mine are inside too and I had no idea. This video was great. I can do that. I have the brita basic and it's been sitting a while since I knew they were inside and I don't know anything about plumbing or any of that stuff. Thanks again, JJ
Just purchased one it’s good for 2250 bottles of water .$39.00 cdn.
Oh my God thanks I was so upset because the indicator wasn’t lit now I am glad your video help. Thank you
If you liked this review you may want to head over to my new review channel: KevReviews where I will be doing more reviews like this one.
Mines not coming on either
Was wondering about the indicator. Ur vid helped a lot. Thanks!
Maybe should use those 5 mins water to a container to water the plants?
You totally skipped the actual step I needed, which was replacing the head
Press the button on the side
These videos always take too much time to get to the point...FINALLY after screaming at my phone for 20 minutes, the actual "how to" starts and it's in fast forward ×35, and skips the important parts
Thanks! I just installed this and this really helped!
Thanks man. I was looking for that bright green led light. I was going to let it run until it turned that led green,lol.

Yes
I recently got a new kitchen faucet installed, but the Brita filter doesn’t install. Does the filter attach to any shape/type faucet?
To my knowledge it works with the two most standard faucet thread types. If it’s a super fancy faucet it might not work. Call Brita support. They can tell you if the faucet you have works
The device only last for about 1 month or so. When you run cold water from regular side hot water comes out from the filterd side.
For real!! Mine did the same thing and I bought 4 different ones and they all broke the same way! Complete garbage!
Is it safe for marine wildlife
KeyCentral: What's the difference between the chrome and white filters? I don't mean the complete systems, just the filter cartridges. They're apparently interchangeable, so why the different materials?
Color is the only difference.
I can I use every month on this filter?
i had noticed that it wasn’t actually a light but like a green sheet and was happy when i found it before having trouble like others in the comments who couldnt see a light
Great video very helpful... thank you have a good one
Why the switch getting so tight ?
Thanks for the video; I was waiting for a glowing LED light like the on on the picture
Hold long each filter last? Is only for one person me.
three-four months, depends on how much water you use. One filter for 100 gallons.
thanks for your help
I have question can this filter fits any kitchen sink ?
As most faucets sweep upward I can’t imagine one that wouldn’t allow clearance. That said, the faucet would need to have compatible threads
Thank you 👍
Trouble shoot the green indicator light it will tell you to take off the filter and press down on the pin several times replace filter and you have the indicator light working, worked for me
So, can I run warm water for doing my dishes? I don't have a dishwasher.
warm/hot water might ruin the filter, best to not use the filter setting with anything but cold water
Hi I bought one of these but my faucet is different shape somehow it doesn’t fit . What are other alternatives or any other way I can fit it. Thanks
Ordered this brand I believe... I have a weird sink but I’m 98% sure it’s a non spray non pull out sink typeee.. I hope this works cause it’s non refundable :// thanks for the helpful video hope this works for me.!!
Order
Thanks 👍👍
Why not measure the Waters with the TDS tester?
Can someone explain to me why when turning Brita to my faucet it don’t tighten.
You are either using the wrong size adapter or you don't need an adapter at all. I couldn't get mine on at first then I tried it without any of the adapters and it worked great!

Where did the 'silver metal' piece go in the beginning?
I think you’re referring to the faucet aerator. That’s the mesh strainer that’s screwed into the bottom of the faucet (where the water comes out.) It has to be removed so the threads can be used to mount the Brita filter.
@@KevCentral Got It. Thanks.
Male thread that screws into faucet it too short causing leaks. Returned.
Does this mean that this device has to be removed from my sink every time I want to run hot water for dishes? If so i will just get the pitcher
No, but it shouldn’t be on the filtered setting when running warm water
@@KevCentral great thats helpful thank you 💖. Happy Thanksgiving
Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
What size is the adapter mine didn't come in the box and I can't wait for them to send me one so I'll go to the local hardware store.
What about the O Ring (washer).
Your fumbling incoherent nonsense helped me to just keep trying. Thank you! Left a like :)
Excuse me, when I turn on regular mode, can I use hot water to wash bowls and spoons....
adding that I use Brita water filter system in white.
As long as it isn’t in filtration mode it is fine to use hot water. Just don’t use hot water when running filtered water.
Amazing video thank you so much without it wouldn’t have been able to install mine’s.
Does it remove the chlorine or just the smell ?
How do u change the filter?
Thank you so much and I wish you well.~
Very thorough, thank you for the help
I got it yesterday and the filter is filled with water. Any idea how to get it out?
This was so helpful! Thank you so much!!!!
Looking to buy one of these!! To much money spent on bottle water
I have this Brita Water Filter, I can't for the life of me twist the base into the faucet! My faucet also has the thread on the outside...🤬
Water comes out strqminf of the other side. How do it fix that
Yeah I thought mine was broken because I didnt see the light at first.
i wonder what size is the adapter size ?
So hot water can't be used while unit is installed???🤔
+Aniyah di Lioness it can, but not through the filter cartridge. There is a free flow setting and a filtered setting. Hot water should only be used on the free flow setting.
Yes you have to switch to tap and let water run from unfiltered. You do not want the hot water to go thru the filter. It has a hole in it for both.
KevCentral Thanks, you have answered my question. I think it might be cheaper just to go with a Brita pitcher - less hassle - should I screw up something. I rent and I don't want to cause problems that I may have to pay for. Like the dude doing the illustration, I don't have the space to work with. Great video though.
Came here bc I didn't see the "glowing indicator light". Glad to know it's not supposed to be glowed...
on the brita & the pur filters none of the lights work very long.
Hello. After changing the forth filter, the light on my filtration system didn't work. I opened the system and changed the battery but it only worked for one day and went off again. Does this mean my system broke down or was it only because of the light?
Thanh Hien Nguyen it’s not very environmentally friendly, plastic system and batteries.
@@lane824 Yes, it can filter up to 750 water bottles (standard size 500ml or 16.9oz). This comes to about 100 gallons.
I think there are hacks on yt to fix it.
None of those washers fit my skin faucet
Did you not need a washer
White is now down to 13.00 at Walmart and amazon
Thanks for sharing
so no hot water even through the faucet? I use hot water in winter for washing dishes
+Cheechako Hot water is fine through the unfiltered side. Just don't run hot water through the Brita filtered side.
You have to swtith the level to tap and hot water come out of that in. You don't remove your filter to run hot water. You have to watch video he show it
Le miens il tiens pas avec la pression d'eau je comprend pas..
mine doesn’t even glow ,,,,,I got nothing
My leaks while water going through filters not bad but I love it water not bad I got burn out buying water
Can I use hot water when I switch it to tap?
Why won't it turn green?!😭💔
Yea ik i think its not working
Did not show using quarter.....
I didn't hear a click on mine. Did anyone else have this problem?
I don't either and water leaks out of the filter
I didnt watch the whole video, but what is the difference between the chrome vs. white brita filter?? Anyone know?
+Rosie Burke color. They’re the same filter

Does it actually remove chlorine .
Chlorine odor, but not the actual chemical.
Thank you for quick response. I have a 5stage RO system in the kitchen . But am in the market to purchase chlorine filter for bathroom faculty. NYC water is terrible. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Great video BTW.
The stream of water is weaker for unfiltered. How can we remove the internal filter to make the stream stronger?
Mine always explodes off...so annoying
you didnt boil the water
lol actually a good laugh lol
When I tapped the video the was a ad for our faucet filter
Wait is said it wrong it was an ad for pur

I don't even know how people think it's ok to drink tap water or cook with it. It's just so nasty.

No bacteria can survive the extreme heat of cooking, only bacteria that live near volcano can survive extreme heat.
@@luongmaihunggia A filter is for lead that you can't kill by boiling water not bacteria just bacteria
沒服務不會再買了😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
This video shows the brand Culligan not Brita. duh!
sorry to hear your tap water can smell so bad
For someone who drinks bottled French-named tap water at ridiculously inflated prices, it shouldn't come as a surprise that you don't know which direction screw threads go.
Shame you wasted drinking water you ran for five minutes. Wow that’s a lot.
So if you want to use hot water do you have to remove the filter part?
No. There is a switch on the filter. Just turn the filtration off using the switch when running hot water.
Ok thanks
