PURPLUS Vertical Faucet Mount Water Filtration System, Lead-Reducing Filter, Great-Tasting Water, Easy Install, Lasts 100 Gallons, Compatible with Sinks with External Aerators, Chrome

I've owned several PUR faucet filters over the past 10 years. I recently moved from a house with well water that was the best tasting I've ever had, so didn't need the filter. My current place is on town water which is highly treated and chlorinated. I drink about 2 gallons of water every day and crave a very clean, neutral taste. This delivers perfectly. I like the ability to switch the water stream from unfiltered to filters with the flick of the lever and the filtered stream is still strong enough fill a quart pitcher in under 30 secs. The caveat is my house has extremely strong water pressure, so you may not get the same flow rate. Nevertheless, the water tastes fantastic. It takes about 2 minutes to install and about 5 minutes to change the filter. I love the visual indicator that tells you when you need a filter change. Mine have lasted the full 3 months that they say is the norm. PUR brand filters are expensive, but of course, Amazon sells generic. I'm really only concerned about taste, not safety, so ok with generics.

I should have ordered sooner! This durability is 10 of 10. The value is worthy, the taste of water is refreshing. The filter lasts for around 45 days in my home, easy to use and pop off if needed. A true product I highly recommend.

This works great. It did start to leak after about two years. I think it is my super hard waterI tried to fix it but got a new one and worked perfect again. For the price, it can't be beat. Water tastes so much better when I use it

The media could not be loaded. We've been using Brita Pitcher water based filters since forever up until earlier this year when we switched to the Pur Faucet based water filters mainly because the plastic pitchers with Brita would scratch and show signs of wear which look ugly on the dinner table & also they were too slow to fill if you wanted to have water right away. Overall based on our experience in the past couple of months we are satisfied with the Pur Water filtration systems barring a few minor gripes.Uboxing & Installation------------------------------ Check out my video for the unboxing , initial impressions & installationBuild Quality & Using It----------------------------------- Despite is shiny chrome appearance , the Filter body is made of plastic which means that we are a bit extra careful around it while doing the dishes as it dosent seem like it would be able to withstand a hard knock- Using the filter and switching between unfiltered tap water (for washing etc) and filtered water is very simple with a small plastic lever on the right side.- The plastic lever feels precariously fragile when its on the 'On' filtered water position, so once again we are extra careful while filling our water pitchers- There is also a small LED indicator on the front which tells you when you need to change the filter ( the manual says every 3 months)- Comes with 4 different adapters to fit your faucet - only one of them (the Type-A) adapter is made of metal and the rest are plastic. Luckily the type A adapter should work with most standard faucets and worked for usWater Taste & Comparison with Brita------------------------------------------------There are a couple of major differences when it comes to the water taste and quality between the two , mainly because :- The Brita water filtration system is gravity fed which makes is slower but allows water to interact with the filter for a longer period of time . Whereas the PUR water filter is pressure fed making is fast and gives water less time to interact with the filter- The Brita filter cartridges are longer than the PUR cartridges increasing the time and surface area the water interacts with the filter materialsAs a result in my opinion, the water tastes slightly better and sweeter from the Brita Filters when compared against PUR. Now water from PUR filters itself is definitely noticeably better than plain tap water so it does its job well & its overall performance combined with the super fast filtered water flow is nothing to sneeze atThe Good--------------- Super fast filtered water when compared to gravity fed filters- Water tastes much better than plain tap water alone- Easy operation and switching between plain tap water and filtered water- Looks attractive in the kitchen- Based on the design and layout you choose, it really does not get too much in the way while doing the dishesThe Not So Good--------------------- There is no second opinion about it , it does not to seem like its built to last with its plastic construction and looks fragile. We are extra cautious when using it and doing the dishes. The lever switch mechanism appears the be the most fragile as its plastic and hinged right at the corner- Running hot water through the filter kills it- Doesn't compare that well when compared to gravity fed filtration systems (Brita)Important Consideration Before Purchasing------------------------------------------------------Please make sure that your kitchen faucet has a removable screw-on type aerator. This filter will not work with non-removable aerator type faucetsFinal Thoughts-------------------Overall the PUR water filtration is pretty good for what it offers at its price point with the biggest advantage that we see is the fast on demand filtered water output with reasonably good taste. I just wish it was built better to last.

My husband and I live in an apartment and find that this was an easy install that can easily be undone when we leave. Replacement filters are easy to change and the water we get taste and looks better than what we received without it.

I love the mount on my faucet and these filters. They make my water drinkable. I fill large containers and keep them in the fridge. It took 100 days for the red light to start flashing. That's when I knew it was time to change my filter. The original filter came with the mount, and I bought a set of two more so that I could change the old filter out as soon as it was ready. I buy only PUR filters.
