PUR Plus Vertical Faucet Mount Water Filtration System, Lead-Reducing Filter, Great-Tasting, Easy Install, Lasts 100 Gallons, Faucet Water Filter, Compatible with Sinks with External Aerators, Chrome

Great filtration system for your tab water. I have been using this product for the past 8 to 10 years and my wife and children love it. While the filters can be a little expensive, they do provide very great filtration and produce very good tasting water. I know most people will always say that water is flavorless but let me tell you out here in West Texas where there is very hard water you can tell the difference between a filtered water vs a non-filtered water, it removes that dirt like taste. It is pretty compatible with most faucets and it comes with all the necessary accessories to install very easily. The design and operability are ok, nothing to write about, but it works and works well. They are very durable, but in my case and given that there is hard water here they begin to form lime deposits and so I replace them every 20 to 24 months.

Easy to put together, put on faucet & use. Great faucet adaptors that can be set up to click on & off the faucet! Works well. Outer shell seems solidly made, of heavy molded plastic, that should last for a long time. Doesn't leak if set up properly (put the washers in as instructed & tighten carefully) Nice to have the majority of the system above the faucet, to give better sink access. Price is better in the long run (& much more convenient ) than a pitcher & filters.

I'm really impressed with how easy this was to install. It took a minute to have it up and running. The included converters is needed, I tried the metal one first, it screwed on my faucet right away, for a tight seal, then with that connected, the filter snapped right onto it, clicked into place, and done!!! That's it. It's connected. Really took me less than a minute total. And my sink is a very old sink so I was a little worried if it will fit, but it fits perfectly. My sink is very strong flow when opened all the way, so i opened it to max to check for leaks in the connection, not a drop leaked. So I popped in the included filter cartridge, screwed on the cover. And tested it, the flow is of course a lot slower, but that's expected. So I let it run for a few minutes as per the instructions (it says to flush it for 5 minutes) and it's working perfectly now. I switched back and forth from the regular sink flow to the filtered flow, the light blinks green every time, zero leaks, zero issues. I only just received it right now (like minutes ago), so time will tell how it holds up, but I was so impressed with the how easy it was to setup, that I thought I'd share that. Because to be honest, this was my only worry before buying this, I was hoping it will install correctly, which it did, and it was easier and faster than I thought it would be A few weeks later edit; Ok so I was so loving my Filtered water, that I convinced my neighbor, a older man, that drags a few gallons a week from the store, to just get this Faucet filter instead. But I know he'd be stubborn... So I just filed him a clean full plastic cup of fresh cold water from my filter. And asked him to taste it. He drinks down the whole cup and says hmm that's good water, zero after taste, zero chlorine taste, just clean tasting. I then told him it's from my Faucet filter, and told him look, with the money you buy all those gallons for, this will pay for itself in no time, and you won't have to shlep it from the store. He was sold, so I ordered him one from Amazon, same as mine. His sink Faucet is very different type than mine, but installation was exactly the same, and exactly as simple and fast. I had it up and running for him in 2 minutes. And he's loving it. So that's 2 very different type sinks, both very old. But both installed in seconds. And now that I've been using mine for a few weeks now, I gotta say I never knew I could love water as much as I suddenly do. It tastes so clean and amazingly fresh. I'd put it up vs any bought water from the store.

Easy to install. Great water pressure and filtration. Compatible with Moen faucets. However, the "chrome" veneer chips off easily, after a few weeks of usage. Other than that, the unit works great!

It arrived when it was supposed to and it is very easy to open and place the filter in it. Plus, it was easy to place onto my sink facuet. It comes with 4-5 different parts (I only used one part) to help connect it to my sink. It works well. Connecting was easy as pie. The material is lightweight and pretty. Very durable.

Works great..I did initially have problems with the filter leaking when putting together and closing completely on the faucet and actually fitting. There's a piece you have to push down a little hard to get it completely in and closed all the way. But other than that works great!!!! Id say it's worth the money.

This is an update written February 11, 2017 to the review originally posted December 27, 2015. After over a year using this filter I wanted to report on our experience. We purchased this faucet mounted filter because we felt it would be a more cost effective alternative to purchasing bottled water, also more convenient and perhaps somewhat better from the standpoint of avoiding usage of large quantities of plastic water containers. We don't have any reason to feel that our tap water is not already safe and clean but this provides an extra degree of assurance. This filter is easy to install and requires no tools, and includes several different faucet adaptors to fit a variety of kitchen faucets. Once the adaptor is screwed into place, then you simply place the filter cartridge into the filter housing and then snap it onto the faucet. That's it. Per instructions we ran water through the filter for 5 minutes before using it. The filter also has an 'electronic filter life indicator' that flashes green each time water is directed through the filter, and will eventually turn yellow then red when the filter should be replaced. According to the users manual, that indicator light is powered by a non-replaceable battery that should last 2-3 years. That's a nuisance down the road, when the indicator light will no longer function and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm a little puzzled by why Pur would do it that way, but it is what it is. When we first installed the filter I noted in my review that the flow through the filter is less strong than through the faucet itself, but at that time I felt that it was still adequate. It's natural that the restriction of the filter will cause some reduction in the flow. After using the filter for over a year, however, we're finding the flow to be unsatisfactory. It could be that our water system flow has decreased over that time, but the normal flow from the faucet is fine. The flow through this filter, however, is puny. It is enough of a nuisance that once we've used up our supply of refill filters, I plan to remove the filter and discontinue using it altogether. Other than actually taking samples of our water and having them analyzed to show whether or not this does remove impurities as it claims, there is really nothing more to be said. We're taking Pur at it's word that the filter effectiveness will be as stated, and essentially remove most all chemicals and contaminants that may be in the water. It does not remove all chlorine if present but will reduce it. The included instructions have a table of substances that are reduced or removed by the filter, with the effectiveness of removal for each, for those interested in studying the technical data. We also purchased this PUR RF-9999 MineralClear Faucet Refill, 3-Pack . According to the information provided with the filter, each cartridge will filter 100 gallons of tap water. I do not yet know how long that will last us in our own household, but Pur suggests that will typically be 2-3 months of use. We used our first filter for considerably longer before replacing. The filter itself is warranted for 2 years and the cartridges are warranted for 30 days. Bottom line as mentioned above is that we find this to be unsuitable for our kitchen. It takes a full minute or two to simply fill a coffee pot full of water, and if you use this to filter water for cooking then expect to sit the pot under the faucet for a similarly long time. It may not be a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but it is a nuisance and we will be looking for a filtration system that will provide a greater capacity and less restriction to the flow output it provides. No doubt that will be considerably more expensive, so for someone who wants an inexpensive filter and doesn't mind the low flow, I'm sure this is fine.

Don't buy the Brita faucet filter (the "Elite", ASIN: B000EOOQPW)! It's junk compared to the Pur and I can safely say this because I've used both. Brita faucet filters ride on their brand name household recognition for sales but that's about it. 💧 The water tastes better with Pur than Brita. 💧 The Pur is slightly larger and feels of a higher quality in construction, the plastic feels better to the touch. The gray color is much better and professional looking for a sink fixture than bright white because it matches the color of sinks and faucets, which are usually gray due to stainless steel or nickel finishes. Brita also makes a chrome looking one but that one looks even worse. The Brita feels cheap and flimsy, food stains and discoloration are also much more apparent on the bright white plastic of the Brita faucet filter. 💧 The Pur comes in a sturdy cardboard box sealed with tape, and everything is in plastic packaging or bubble wrap, the filter cartridge is sealed in plastic packaging, and you can tell it's new and untampered. The Brita faucet filter arrives in a thin-gauge cardboard box with no tape or seal of any kind, you could open it, mess with it and put it back in and nobody would know, the filter cartridge it comes with is completely unsealed inside the box, no plastic packaging, hilarious because the cartridges you buy for the Brita pitchers are all individually sealed in a white plastic package. 💧 The lever to switch to the filtered flow is extremely easy to activate because it rotates down like a lever, you could do it with one pinky with virtually no effort, even a cat could turn it on. The Brita filter uses a tab that you have to twist with your thumb and index finger, it requires two fingers and much more effort, if there's oil on it from cooking it becomes more difficult. This is important for people with poor hand dexterity such as the elderly or arthritic. I think about my grandmother in her 80s, and her hand dexterity is so poor that we have to open bottles for her, there's no way she could use the Brita. 💧 The aerator for the unfiltered flow is much better with the Pur because it's full speed, the Brita cuts the flow down significantly. 💧 The filtered flow is much better. Brita's filtered flow is like a laser beam: it's thin and with such high pressure that when it hits the floor of the sink it splashes out of the sink. Forget about putting anything even remotely close to the Brita, the splashback will be all over you. The Pur is a wider gentle flow, making it possible for you to put something right under the flow without splash damage (lol). 💧 The Pur installation is much simpler. With the Brita you have to screw/thread the faucet filter unit directly onto the faucet, with the Pur you screw/thread one of several included adaptors onto your faucet, this adaptor is not an aerator, it's a hollow ring, the faucet filter unit then clips onto the adaptor. Since the Pur faucet filter can clip on and off easily without having to unscrew/unthread anything, you can easily remove it to clean/wash it when it gets dirty. 💧 Because the Pur faucet filter clips on with an adaptor instead of threading directly onto the faucet, you can rotate the Pur if you want to move where the filtered flow is going to land or get it out of the way. You can't do this with the Brita because it's threaded directly on, if you try to rotate the Brita you'll either loosen it (which will start leaking) or you'll overtighten it (which will break it and start leaking). 💧 The Pur filter lifespan is calculated digitally through electronics inside the unit, the status is shown through an LED that's visible on the front/side of the faucet filter, this makes it easy to see when you're standing in front of the sink. The Brita uses a cheap mechanical gauge which shows a red piece of plastic through a peephole when it's time to replace the filter. This peephole is on the top of the faucet filter though, so you have to have your head directly over the Brita to look down through that peephole. If your sink is in a weird place or you're not tall enough this becomes an issue. The Brita gauge also doesn't work correctly, I had two of their faucet filters (the same model "elite"), one showed green but the filtered flow had completely stopped, the other showed red but the filtered flow was clear, go figure. 💧 The Pur faucet filters last longer than Brita and are cheaper.

Oh ok. Made in China Shenzhen city. Fingers cross no issues. Fixed it up as per instruction. I am using a Made In Italy faucet so it is pretty much generic. If your faucet is not made in the EU or US forget about finding the right ring for it. You can get the ring but can a challenging to find one. Showy or some taiwan made faucet can be a problem. Goodluck finding the correct part for it. Can buy but the battery thing no clue on how to change them. Oh incase if it flats out I will probably buy another same one. Not looking at having this thing last long like 1year or more so to me after 3filters change I need to swap for the batts.Might as well.buy another same one to replace.the whole unit.Than again cheap.and good for what it is.off course there are many brands and design to choose from but overall this one suits fine as what it is. Update now the 28Dec 2024. Now the device has shown a red led so I am guessing the water from the tank is quite dirty. Have calculated.at 370approximate liters should be giving an estimate of 10-12 bottles of 32 fluid oz (naglene) per day. Not that bad. Quite a money saver. The important point is at the very least it filters the gung from your water tank.Better to be safe.

Es fácil de instalar, tiene 4 adaptadores y en mi caso el adaptador 1 funcionó, fugó un poco de agua pero se solucionó con un poco de teflón en la rosca, el flujo de agua es suficiente para llenar una jarra 2 litros en 1 minuto aproximadamente.

Sehr gutes Gerät nur zu empfehlen

Es el mejor filtro que he comprado hasta el momento. Fácil de instalar, buenos materiales y buena calidad del filtro.

Easy to instal and really functional
