Review on 🚰 Certified Brondell Countertop Filter System by Patricia Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than pitchers

Lived with a Brita pitcher that seemed to filter almost nothing and a ZeroWater pitcher that filtered but the $15 filters had to be changed every two weeks. I finally decided to try this type of filter due to the acidic tasting water and the completely non-functional lid. I don't know why I was messing around with those dingdang jars. Thats much better. Some observations: Mine is connected to a rarely used sink. The filter reduces the amount of water a bit in bypass mode and I would find it annoying to cycle it back and forth if it was plugged into my kitchen sink. The filter change indicator isn't working, which Brondell customer service says may have something to do with the new filter style, but I add a reminder to my calendar and I don't care about the replacement indicator. With my TDS ZeroWater meter (maybe the only thing you get with a ZeroWater pitcher) I can see that Brondell doesn't remove as much TDS as ZeroWater, but it's definitely better than my fridge filter or Brita filter. , and the Brondell website has a good explanation of what they remove and why TDS isn't necessarily a meaningful measurement. My water tastes better, I don't go broke buying filters, and I don't have to deal with a spout that pours as much water on the counter as it does in my glass. Hooray!
