Brita Faucet Filters: The On Tap Line for Kitchen Faucet Filtration
Brita (Clorox brand in North America) sells the Brita On Tap faucet filter (FF-100, $25--$40) as an alternative to its pitcher filtration systems for households who want filtered water directly from the kitchen faucet rather than from a separate pitcher. The Brita On Tap is NSF 42 (chlorine) and NSF 53 (lead) certified, attaches to standard kitchen faucet aerators, and filters 100 gallons per cartridge (approximately 3 months for a household of 4 at 1 gallon per day drinking use). The Brita On Tap is part of the broader Brita filter ecosystem -- the same brand whose pitcher filters are the most widely used in the US.
Brita On Tap vs. Brita Pitcher: Which Is Better?
Brita On Tap ($25--$40 unit + $18--$25 per 100-gallon cartridge) vs. Brita Grand Pitcher + Longlast+ filter ($35--$45 + $10--$14 per 120-gallon filter): the On Tap provides on-demand filtered water without filling and waiting; the pitcher requires 10--15 minutes to gravity-filter a full reservoir but stores 10 cups of ready-to-drink water. For households with low counter space who want filtered water without a pitcher taking up refrigerator space, the On Tap is the better fit. For households with ample refrigerator space who use filtered water primarily for drinking and want the lowest cost per gallon, the pitcher + Longlast+ filter wins on economics.
Brita On Tap Compatibility
Like all faucet filters, the Brita On Tap is NOT compatible with pull-down or pull-out kitchen faucets. It is designed for fixed-spout kitchen faucets and bathroom faucets with standard threaded aerators. Brita includes 4 adapter types covering most US residential faucet aerator configurations. For non-standard aerators (Grohe, TOTO, some American Standard models with non-standard thread pitch): contact Brita customer service at 1-800-242-8269 for compatibility guidance before purchasing.
