Two-Stage Filtration Improves Taste and Odor The first filtration stage traps sediment, like dirt, rust, and sand, while the second stage greatly reduces contaminants, pollutants, trace pharmaceuticals, and illness-inducing microbes. The result is water that looks, tastes, and smells cleaner.
Each PUR filter provides up to 100 gallons of clean water, and will typically last for two to three months.
Activated Carbon Microfilter Removes Contaminants The second stage of filtration employs an activated carbon microfilter that removes most of the harmful contaminants commonly found in both municipal water sources and well water.
This microfilter removes 98 percent of chlorination by-products while reducing the taste and odor caused by chlorine. The filter also removes 99 percent of heavy metals, like lead; industrial pollutants, like asbestos; trace pharmaceuticals, like antibiotics and antidepressants; and microbial cysts, like giardia and cryptosporidium.
User-Friendly Features and One-Click Installation The filter's one-click installation requires no tools; it snaps onto your existing faucet (filter is not compatible with pull-out faucets). Removing a filter is just as easy--simply push a button. The filter swivels 360 degrees to give you better access to your entire sink.
A simple switch activates the filter and turns it off. For added convenience, this filter features a built-in electronic filter life indicator. The indicator flashes green, yellow, or red with use, so you'll know when it's time to update your filter.

PUR Water Filter Review \ Hack
Once, long ago, PUR was a great company with great water filtering technology. I still love their filters! Unfortunately, a big bad company named Proctor and Gamble bought them and messed them over in favor of customer abuse. This was accomplished using two methods. The first method is called 'planned obsolescence' whereby their faucet mount apparatus leak and die briefly after the end of the warranty period. (It didn't used to be that way in the good old days). The second method is called 'timed death' whereby their apparatus lock up their enclosed filters at a preset volume of filtered water, whether the filter is actually used up or not.
Planned obsolescence can be overcome by calling up Proctor and Gamble BEFORE your warranty runs out, and letting them know that your PUR apparatus is squirting water all over your kitchen. Ask them to send you a replacement or a replacement certificate. If need be, call repeatedly asking to... Read more

I picked up one of these (FM3333) for my office. One thing that caught my eye is that it included a 2-stage filter. We have used a single-stage on-tap filter by another maker in the past, but it clogged up too quickly, so having a filter that could trap sediment was an important consideration.
The filter holder installed on the faucet effortlessly without any tools. Our faucet has exterior screw threads, so the faucet adapter included in the package wasn't needed.
The filter itself took a little extra effort to insert into the filter holder. It seemed to be a very tight fit (but not an improper fit).
Filtered water comes out the bottom not really in a stream or a spray, but somewhere in between. It comes out at a slower rate than unfiltered, but I expected that. It's an adequate rate, not a trickle by any means.
Controlling the filter couldn't be simpler or more pleasant. Tip it backwards to bypass the filter, tilt it straight up... Read more

This review is from: PUR 2-Stage Vertical White Faucet Mount FM-3333B (Tools & Hardware)
Our house has hard water, so we purchased the PUR Plus Faucet Filtration System in hopes of making our water taste better. It succeeded in that, and that alone.
The filter goes bad FAST. We bought our first new filter after about 10 weeks of use (we're just 2 people and we're rarely home).
About a week after our new filter was in place, the unit developed a leak from the indicator window. This wasn't so bad.
Then came the spraying! A near-inch long crack appeared on the front, and it sprays water in a horizontal column at the user!
Other negatives: *As the filter reaches the end of its lifespan, water comes out of the unit slower.. and sloooweer.
*The filter completely stops working when the filter is considered "done" by the unit. I found this most ridiculous of all: it just STOPS letting you use it when it decides the filter's no good! Who says the filter is no good? An internal mechanism that knows... Read more

Reduce Environmental Waste While Saving Money By investing in a PUR water filtration system, you'll be spending a tenth of what you would in one year of buying bottled water. This amounts to a comparable savings of $600 a year if you were to buy 16-ounce plastic water bottles. By bottling your own filtered water, you'll not only be saving money, you'll also be helping the environment by reducing plastic waste from discarded water bottles.

This review is from: PUR CR-6000C 2-Stage Oval Water Pitcher with LED Indicator (Kitchen)
The PUR CR-6000C 2 Stage Oval Water Pitcher with LED Indicator has some very strong positives that make it a good choice. However, it also has some weaknesses that will hopefully be addressed in a re-design. As long as you know what the weaknesses are, you should be able to get more use of the benefits of this product than some people have reported.
Pros: + Takes up a small amount of floor space + Great 2 stage filters leak less filter debris than other filters + It has an attractive look with a sleek body + The included indicator reminds you when to change filters + The price is very reasonable on an annual basis
Cons: - The body isn't as solid as it could be, so use both hands to pick it up - The filters seem to run out quickly - Removing the cover... Read more

This review is from: PUR CR-6000C 2-Stage Oval Water Pitcher with LED Indicator (Kitchen)
The 2-stage filter produces water that tastes so good, I've stopped drinking bottled water (at home, anyway). As a result I find myself filling the pitcher several times a day, much more often than I filled my Brita pitcher.
The functional design of the pitcher, however, could easily be better. Its pour spout is open to the air, while Brita's is covered, leaving the water exposed to dust, as well as to odors in the fridge. It's the equivalent of leaving a bottle of water uncapped all day or longer.
In addition, removing the top in order to add water requires more effort than it should; whoever designed it doesn't seem to have considered that the top must be separated from the filtration chamber. (For that purpose I've developed a technique where I pull the chamber up with my left hand while my right thumb releases the top from it.)
The LED light on top of the lid is activated by pouring, simply by the tilt of the pitcher. It's supposed to... Read more

This review is from: PUR CR-6000C 2-Stage Oval Water Pitcher with LED Indicator (Kitchen)
I have had my Pur Pitcher for about 3 weeks now with no problems. I fill it in the sink, sit it on the counter for about 10 minutes to let it filter a bit and then stick it in the fridge.
We use it for a quick glass of water, to fill the coffee pot, or for anything else we feel we want cleaner-than-tap water for.
We certainly do notice a different in taste. The Pur water definitely tastes cleaner. I think we have decent city water to start with, so I am sure that helps with the filtration life, but I do wish it was at least 3 stage and not 2 stage.
I also wich it could fill itself. My significant other usually forgets the recipe for water and I am stuck filling the coffee pot with tap water in the morning ;)
UPDATE: ONE YEAR LATER Still works like a charm. No cracks that others complained about. Just change the filter regularly and you have delicious, refreshing, clean water. And I am happy to report the GF learned to... Read more
