PURPlus Water Pitcher Filtration System with 6 Months of Filters, 11 Cup, CR1111WLCR

After learning about the levels of lead in our city water, I researched what kind of filtration I could use (city’s recommendation is just to run the water for a minute before drinking. not very reassuring). This brand and filter had very positive reviews from consumer tests. I have nothing to compare it to because I grew up drinking bottled water, but my S.O says water tastes much better compared to Brita pitchers he grew up with/around. Don’t know if it’s placebo or what (taste is very subjective but also how do you quantify taste?) but I’ve found water does taste nicer, or at least the chlorinated taste/smell is gone and there is no more specks of sediment floating in my glass. I’m less worried about lead now and find myself drinking more water. The pitcher itself has a simple design, and the indicator light is very useful. It does take a little bit to drip down, but it’s not too bad. Just instruct everyone to fill it up whenever it seems like there’s less than a serving left and if everyone cooperates you will always have water in the pitcher. For two people in my household, the amount of water it holds is adequate. If I had more people, I would invest in a bigger pitcher.

Best filtered water pitcher on the market. Far superior filtration than Brita. This replaced my old Brita pitcher and the taste of the Pur water is so much better than the Brita water. Brita does not fully eliminate the chlorine smell from tap water but Pur does. Pur makes water taste like…..water. No chemical smells, no metallic or chalky taste, no sediment or cloudiness. The negative reviews from people saying it takes too long to fill the pitcher must be very impatient. It is maybe a bit slower filtration than Brita but it’s not very noticeable and does not impact our ability to use the pitcher at all. You fill it in the morning before you leave for work and at night before bed and it’s always full. If we have a full house with the kids here then we’ll fill it more often but even then, the speed of the water filtering is never an issue. Don’t expect the pitcher to fill in 30 seconds. Just try to fill it when you’re not using it. If you’re using the pitcher to fill pots with water for cooking then you need a filtration system for your faucet, not a pitcher.

When I bought this, I did not know that they were discontinuing it and no longer able to get filters for it, which was very upsetting to me, and then it cracked by the handle

Works very well. Water is great and I don't contribute to the plastic problem.

I love the large size of this pitcher! The replace filter indicator is great and it's great all the filter removes! Only slight downside is the plastic feels thinner than other pitchers I've gotten from Pur in the past. It's held up so far so no major complaints

I had been a fan of Zero Water for several years but continued flaws with their pitchers caused me to check reviews for another system. I chose Pur based on Wired's reviews, and I'm so glad I did. The water tastes good and the pitcher is so well-designed. You can fill the pitcher without removing the lid; the handle is ergonomically designed so it's easy to lift. There's even a place for your thumb to provide extra security when you're pouring. It does take a while to filter, but I've trained myself to top it off every night so I have a full pitcher in the morning. I've recommended this to all of my friends and family; everyone loves it.

Great value,large pitcher,don't use tap water, I recommend PUR for pure water

Pitcher was cracked when finally unpacked.
