Pros: Makes great tasting water, filter gauge, nice design
Cons: Can be slow if water is really bad, filter replacements a little spendy
Summary: When we moved into our home a couple years ago, one of the first things we noticed was the nasty, brown well water coming out of the taps. Eewww!
We learned later that our well wasn't cased all the way down, and chunks of dirt would...

Pros: Filters the water very well.
Cons: Container not large enough for me.
Summary: If you are like me, and are a heavy water drinker, then it probably will do no good to purchase a pitcher like this, even though it does the job of filtering tap water very well. For just under twenty dollars you can get one of these from your local ...

Pros: Excellent filtering performance, economical, sturdy build
Cons: Small (7 cup) capacity
Summary: We’ve owned two PUR Water Pitchers for about the past six years. And, while that might lead you to believe that this is one incredibly well engineered and built pitcher, the truth is that until recently they had been retired to a closet in our ...

Pros: Water filtering is excellent; Water pours out easily
Cons: Cover has to be popped off to refill; No flap to protect dispenser
Summary: Drinking water straight from the tap can result in unpleasant taste sensations and this is especially true in out of the way places where water is piped into homes and businesses without much treatment. Even in areas where the water does get extra ...

Cons: Pitcher might have reliability issues, arrived broken. Pain to install new ones with soak time.
Summary: I bought a PUR Plus pitcher off of ebay that was supposed to be new. Well that went sour as the pitcher arrived broken! The handle area was smashed in and the seller insisted she had checked the pitcher before shipping it and blamed me for not buying...

Pros: Cheaper than bottled water, produces great tasting water, fits on the refrigerator door.
Cons: Somewhat fragile, slow gravity-fed system might not be for everyone. Doesn’t remove all heavy metals.
Summary: Growing up in a semi-rural area outside of Portland, for years we pulled our water from an aquifer at a depth of 650 feet (think Space Needle then add another 50.) As such, our water was just right. For those who haven’t experienced good well water, I...

Pros: Great tasting water..simply the best pitcher filter, for the money.
Cons: Replacement filters are costly.

Pros: Dial that tells when filter change is needed
Cons: Hard to find replacement filters
Summary: There are really only two choices of filtered water pitchers on the market;Pur and Brita. The Brita filters are easier to find in stores. They are sold almost everywhere that you go. The Pur filters are much harder to find. I have to go out of my way...

Pros: easy to use, good clean-tasting water,
Cons: no hot or warm water can be used in filter
Summary: As someone who is very health-conscious, I decided to purchase a water pticher to make sure that the water I am constantly drinking is clean. PUR water filters are supposed to filter out more contaminants than Brita and for a lower cost too.

Pros: great taste everything about the water is better then tap
Cons: requires a little maintenance

Pros: My water tastes a little bit better.
Cons: It costs money, and I wonder what actual benefit I am obtaining.
Summary: So PUR decided to change the color of plastic in their water filter. Wow, I can already taste the difference. Yes, it is true, the perceived color of the water does make it better!
The fact remains, that it cost me less to purchase the...

Pros: My water tastes a little bit better.
Cons: It costs money, and I wonder what actual benefit I am obtaining.
Summary: While I am not a born again believer in water filters, I do believe that the PUR water filter reduces the taste of chlorine in water. I have no scientific proof that it actually makes the water either safer or healthier to drink.
