Works fine for me November 23, 2005

I purchased this filter about a year ago, and it works just fine.
Pros:
- Saves money over buying bottled water
- Convenient: don't have to lug bottled water into the house, and don't have to throw out the empty containers
- Decent looking: nice shiny chrome finish
- Filters last for many months, and are easy to replace (just buy online).
Cons:
- Filtered water pours out more slowly than unfiltered water. There is a switch to select filtered or unfiltered water. Unfiltered water will pour out as normal, but filtered water will pour out more slowly. To be exact, I just checked mine, and it pours at a rate of 1 fluid oz./sec. This will feel really slow at first, but since you probably do a lot of multitasking in the kitchen, you quickly get used to filling a container with water while you do something else for a few seconds.
- You are attaching a big thing on the end of your faucet: this reduces the clearance between your faucet and the bottom of the sink and may obstruct other sink activities that you currently take for granted. For me, this made it more difficult to clean or fill with water a tall pot that I like to use.
Hope this helps

We have been known to make our every-two-week pilgrimage to Costco to get our bottled water. Honestly, it is a lot of work to carry water around. And like PUR notes in their ad: "There's more than one way to get 100 Gallons of Drinking Water into your home."
The other problem with bottled water is the bottles you have to recycle. I will probably still buy some bottled water, but the recycling load will be much less.
What amazed me was the ease of installation. Before, I had tried to install an under the cabinet "fancy smancy" water filtration unit which was much higher in price. What then occurred was a leak in the system and unfortunately I did not realize that on certain kitchen faucets, you can't do the installation yourself when installing a water purifier. I then had to call a plumber and had to install an entirely new kitchen faucet.
Save yourself this hassle and expense.
To Install this product:
1. You remove the faucet aerator.
2. Check for an adaptor (they include a few for internal threaded faucets)
3. Attach the filter to your faucet.
4. Install the filter cartridge.
Yes, it is that easy. Sure beats water torture as you are under the sink trying to peer into the pitch darkness of under cabinet plumbing life and water is dripping on you in a most annoying fashion. I have a completely new respect for plumbers now.
The PUR "Activated Carbon Microfilter" filter up to 100 gallons of water which means you replace the filter every 2-3 months.
There is an "automatic safety monitor": that has a red line which appears in a little window at the front of the filter when the end of the filter life occurs. At such time, you just replace the filter. Keep one on hand for such a day.
This product claims to reduce lead, mercury, asbestos, MTBE, and TTHMs. This product should not be used with microbiologically unsafe water.
Five Stars for ease of installation and peace of mind! I can even order the filters here with book orders.

I've been using this faucet purifier for over 3 weeks now and regularly fill my gallon water pitcher and random 20oz water bottles multiple times throughout the week. I don't understand why some people can't get this to work right. I installed it by hand, no extra tools needed like someone claimed, and it hasn't leaked once. Not one drip at all. If you have hard water, like in NY, this filter will clog quickly because it is not made for hard water purification. If you are filtering sewage, it will probably clog quickly. I have no idea how to find out if you have hard water, but apparently I don't.
I live in central PA and after three weeks of nearly 2+ gallons a day it is going strong. It took the chlorine and odor taste and smell out of the water perfectly. It tastes great and I have no complaints.
It takes me 20 seconds to fill up a 20oz bottle...not forever like some posts would suggest. Of course it will reduce the water pressure, it is "filtering" it.
To be fair, it is not chrome, but a chrome finish on a plastic part. However, it says it is a "chrome finish" on the box. It is sneaky advertising, but it says it on the box.
I don't know why people think this product sucked. As long as you can turn something by hand clock wise, you're ready to go. There are only at max 3 possible steps to the installation equation. I had it on and working within 5 minutes and I don't have a degree in mechanical engineering. It worked fine for me and I am glad I bought it.
Update: I have now had this product long enough to replace the filter, almost two months. Replacing the filter was simple and easy. Pop the new one in and you're set. I figured out how much water I filter and it came close to what the manufacturer said I would get. Two months later and this product is still working fine with great tasting water. No leaks at all. Works fine as it should.

I've used PUR filters for years in my home and on my boat where they eliminate the plastic taste from the tanked water. They run slower than an open tap, but the resulting water is wonderful & worth the wait especially if you live in a high chlorine content water area. The filter also eliminates the need to put distilled water in your steam iron and car batteries.

For me, the quality of filtration and the taste of the water are most important. The Pur filter delivers both. The third stage of the 3-stage filter in which minerals are added back into the water makes for excellent tasting water. Other filters, such as Britta, simply remove everything leaving a less-than-desirable taste.
I've had no leaks or problems. Sure, this is not an industrial-strength or industrial-priced filter. Eventually something will give and it will need replacing. But I had my first Pur filter for four years. It lasted until I moved and I left the filter along with my old house. I bought a new one for my new place and in both sinks I had no trouble installing the filter.
I have absolutely no knowledge of tools or plumbing or anything remotely "handy" and it was a cinch for me -- so anyone can install one of these. Just look at the type of faucet you have and find the adapter that matches it. It's a no-brainer, really. Don't over or under tighten, and be sure to include the little rubber ring and there'll be no leaks.
Great taste. High quality filter. Reasonable price. Better than the competition.
