Pur Plus Faucet Mount

Pros: GREAT-tasting water, relatively easy set-up
Cons: Expensive filters, variable filter-life, slower flow rate

After moving into our current apartment, my boyfriend and I decided that we should look into filtering our water. Due to living in an older building, being connected to infamous "city water", and being unsure of the quality of our pipes.....we ran to ...

Pros: Good, clean water
Cons: Filter gets in the way when using the faucet

I love water. After Diet Mountain Dew, it’s got to be my favorite drink. But my water has to be clear, clean, and taste like, well, water. Because I am a singer, I require more than the standard 8 glasses a day (need to hydrate those pipes), and I'm...

Pros: Incredibly Convenient
Cons: Expensive Filters

We first started drinking filtered water years ago with a Brita pitcher. While we loved the clean water, we found that we did not keep up with the pitcher because, frankly, it would not do the work for us. Most pitcher models require you to remember to...

Pros: Cleans water
Cons: Doesn't last very long, Bulky and takes up room

The Pur Plus does its job, but if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't waste my money on it.

After months of buying bottled water, it occurred to me that it would be cheaper to buy a filter I could attach to my sink. It said on the label that...

Pros: Eliminates nasty taste from water. Nice customer-service people.
Cons: Leaks, breaks and generally betrays you.

I'll admit: PUR did filter the water. And the filter cartridges, though pricey, lasted a long, long time.

But then, there were the leaks. The spewing of water all over me and my kitchen, more than once, and usually right when I was headed out...

Pros: Good, solid fitration system that improves any water
Cons: The unit is sometimes in the way

On the average, the water in our city is pretty good. It is my understanding that we have some of the best water. But, even the best water, by it's very nature has some impurities in it and even with a good city water system in place, our house is old...

Pros: claims to remove some pretty nasty things
Cons: may not work well against extremely bad water

My city water is AWFUL!It's a blue/grey color before being filtered.
I'm afraid to even use this water to shower in without a shower filter,it's that bad.
My PUR filter for the kitchen faucet couldn't stand up to the city water.I really can't...

Pros: Water tastes great. Easy to install.
Cons: Leaks, and get's slower and slower with each gallon filtered.

Funny how bottled water is as expensive as gasoline, right? I mean hey, 3/4 of the earth is covered with it. And I was really surprised how much water a family of three could go through!

So we were wandering aimlessly around Sam's Club one...

Pros: Good taste, no odor, safety
Cons: Gets in the way a bit

It has been many years since I've trusted tap water, and from all the reports I've read, bottled water may not be any safer. Since I drink a great deal of water, and am unable to install a permanent filter since I rent, I purchased the PUR plus faucet...

Pros: I'm guessing it keeps the 'bad stuff' out of the water.
Cons: Water still tastes bad, filters *very* slowly, and is clunky and awkward when attached to the faucet.

When I moved into my latest home, I noticed that my roommate had already installed a PUR filter onto the kitchen faucet. Well this was great! Since I don't drink anything but filtered water I was a little relieved that I would no longer need to be...

Pros: convenient, good taste
Cons: none

Years before moving to Florida, I knew the water that came from the tap was not drinkable. It wouldn't hurt you, it just didn't taste very good. Visiting my two darling daughters twice a year got me used to the bottled water routine. In fact they had...

Pros: easy hook up,removes contaminant's,more peace of mind about drinking water,lets you know when filter needs changed
Cons: none yet

I live in the country and have well water,which is for the most part just fine. However something in our well water would produce a layer of scum or film when we would brew a pot of coffee.For that reason only we bought the PUR PLUS Faucet Mount Water...

Pros: Good tasting water
Cons: Slow flow as filter gets older.

Pros: Simple to use, inexpensive, better tasting water
Cons: None that I have found

I have to disagree with the recent Epinion on the Pur Faucet Mount water filter. I have had mine for over a year and half and have had to change filters just twice. Changing the filter could not be easier. Simply allow the water to run lightly and...

Pros: Provides clear, clean water
Cons: Initial expense

Relocation to the desert Southwest quickly showed me how spoiled I had been with wonderful water. Water in the Southwest leaves much to be desired. It is highly treated and it is hard.
As a novice in water shopping, I first tried buying gallons...
