Pros: It does remove some potentially harmful sediments.
Cons: Bulky, ugly, damages your faucet, limited benefit, expensive.
Summary: Review of PUR Ultimate Water Filter (February 8, 2005) Every now and then we experience heavy rains for long periods of time in our area. Normally it does not cause a major problem, except for one rather disgusting side effect. On occasion, it turns ... read more

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: Unreliable and will break after a very short amount of time.
Summary: This was the third Pur Faucet mount I bought, after the first two, that were the regular PLUS model broke. I really liked the idea of a faucet mount, as it seemed the most cost effective solution to the water problem in my home. We drink a lot of ... read more

Pros: Sturdy construction.
Cons: Holds stagnant water.
Summary: Before trying this unit, I struggled with the Brita On-Tap system. Although this unit doesn't suffer from the many Brita design deficiencies, it does something quite harmful: it holds stagnant water. My mom bought this unit a year before I did. She ... read more

Pros: Reasonable cost; not overly large for faucet; filters water nicely.
Cons: Replacement filter costs high (especially single pack); read mounting instructions in manual to avoid problems.
Summary: Although I find that the quality of the tap water to our house is good, my wife does not like the chlorine taste (which to me is not very noticeable). We used to purchase inexpensive bottled water from a dispensing machine at our nearby grocery store but ... read more

Pros: Great tasting water, easy to install, 3-year warranty.
Cons: Very slow flow, unit drips and gets in the way, costly replacement filters.
Summary: When the city announced it was going to begin treating our water with ammonia I decided the time had come to find an alternate source of drinking water. I did not want to mess with the expense and hassle of bottled water, so I turned to the various ... read more

competitive price

Pros: Only filter (in this price range) that removes the most harmful chemicals from municipal water.
Cons: Slow filtration (about 10 seconds for 8oz -- 20 seconds toward end of filter life).
Summary: Pur's new faucet-mount filters are much better than they were a few years ago -- although still not trouble-free. In 2001, I gave the Pur Plus Faucet Mount a bad Epinions review. It did a decent job filtering the water, but the unit kept leaking, ... read more

Pros: Easy to install. Good tasting water. Attractive fixture.
Cons: Short filter life - clogs quickly. Replacement indicator inaccurate. Hangs too low in sink.
Summary: I recently purchased a PUR filter to replace my culligan. The automatic filter change indicator appealed to me since I often forgot to change my culligan until the water quality started to taste off or the filter rate would slow to a drip. This was often ... read more

Pros: Affordable, water tastes great, filter life is phenomenal.
Cons: No sprayer attachment, sometimes difficult to install.
Summary: This is an excellent water filter. My husband and I picked this filter in 2001, after we'd moved into our own place. Our first was the older model (where you tip the whole unit to get water) and we were so impressed that we've stuck with the Pur Faucet ... read more

Pros: Excellent filtration, decent waterflow, easy installation and filter replacement
Cons: Somewhat delicate design, will not tolerate abuse
Summary: I settled on the Pur Ultimate after comparing the various alternatives to straight tap water. A perusal through Consumer Reports and the internet convinced me that spring water purchased in big plastic containers was a no-no due to leaching from the ... read more

Pros: Water Tastes Better When It Works.
Cons: Cartridges block up quickly. Very Very slow water flow.
Summary: Horrid Device, Avoid at all costs. Ok, so I usually only write to epinions when a product bites me in the ..., and this is no exception. I purchased this system from a Canadian Tire store for about 40 bux cdn (like 30 usd), installed it and it ... read more

Pros: Easy installation and filter changing. EXCELLENT product support!
Cons: Product life was not up to warranty years.
Summary: This product is very easy to install – even for the most inept “handy man”. A twist of the filter container and you have better tasting water with fewer pollutants. Another twist and you can wash your dishes or water plants with just plain ... read more

Pros: Easy installation. Comes with several faucet adapters. Doesn't leak.
Cons: More expensive.
Summary: First I bought the Brita system. Didn't have the right sink adapter so off to the hardware store. Even with the correct adapter there was a leak. Teflon tape helped a little but not enough. After hours of frustration we settled on a nagging drip from the

Pros: Good filtering of water, tastes great. Easy to change filter.
Cons: Expensive. The housings are cheap and crack before even one filter changing.
Summary: I've been using this filtration system for quite a while but I'm getting tired of sending the housings to the landfill. I use a lot of water for ice and drinking and the filter part is great. The thing is, the housings (mount part) continually crack and
