1 out of 5 stars Fell apart - don't waste your money   September 1, 2008
While gently installing this filter, the decorative, chrome colored plastic piece just above the aerator fell off in my hand.

The next day, the chrome colored, plastic, dome cover at the bottom of the filter where the filtered water comes out fell off in the sink without even touching it.

Because I couldn't find the receipt, I repaired my new water filter with some glue.

The cost of the replacement filters is very expensive - triple the cost of the R2C filters of the similar Waterpik filter.

There is a filter change indicator to let you know when to change the filter, and the same mechanism that moves the change filter indicator will shut off your filtered water if you wait long enough, ensuring that you'll run right out to buy an overpriced replacement filter. This happened to me after using the filter for one month. You can get the filtered water flowing again by removing the filter and sticking it right back in. Of course you will have to replace it at some point and can't do this forever.

This product makes it on my long list of inferior, made-in-China products by name-brand companies. You can bet I won't be buying anything with the Pur name on it again. When it's time to buy replacement filters, I will instead be unscrewing this inferior product from my faucet and tossing it into the trash, before it starts leaking (according to the other reviews here)!



5 out of 5 stars Pur Products are the best!   August 31, 2008
I was using the 2-stage water pur filter but went to the 3-stage one this purchased and the water is even clearer tasting and refreshing to drink with the 3-stage purification!


2 out of 5 stars Cracks and leaking   August 29, 2008
The Pur water filter system is very easy to install, and the filters themselves do a fine job. The filtered water definitely tastes better than straight from the tap. In December 2007 I installed one system in my family house and one in a small apartment I keep close to my job. By June 2008 the one in my family house began to leak and spray water at the faucet connection, and could not be repaired. By August 2008 the one in my apartment (which was used far, far less than the other one) had developed three cracks in the housing, causing water to spray in three directions. Judging by the other reviews, this is not unusual.

Every product has some built-in obsolescence, I guess, but this is just shoddy. Pur make great water filters. It would just be nice if they would make a quality filter system that won't fall apart after six months.


4 out of 5 stars Mostly good   August 19, 2008
I purchased this as a replacement for an old horizontal one (which was a replacement for an older one that was replaced under warranty when it broke).

The vertical one seems like it might work a bit better in our situation but they all suffer from water wicking into the gap between the outer color layer (chrome on ours) and the main plastic body allowing mold to grow. It should have been sealed at manufacturing time but regular cleaning with simple chlorine bleach kills any mold and doesn't hurt the water quality.

The lid is sometimes difficult to unscrew since it's smooth and often wet, we have a sticky plastic pad for opening jars that grabs and turns the lid with no problem.


5 out of 5 stars Great System   August 17, 2008

We have used the PUR Facet Mount systems for years at home and work without any difficulty. An earlier version purchased in 1982 and installed at work operates perfectly with no signs of leaks or deterioration. The unit mounts to the facet in minutes. No tools required. After cartridge installation ensure that COLD water runs through the system for 5 - 7 minutes. Never operate with hot water. A great feature of the built in filter indicator is that it will shutdown when the life of the unit is exhausted. Life span for the filters has been about 45 to 60 days. As far as replacement filters go, the best value for the money is the six pack offered by Amazon. I would highly recommend this system over others out there including the vastly overrated Brita units.
