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

Fits our faucet well and works great

I purchased another brand a was disappointed. This was easy to install and I live the flashing light indicator that advises when to change the filter.

This is a actually really good product works well for what I need to doThank you Amazon for real !!

we have used this brand for a really long time. This one came in with a broken light, unfortunately without the light you can’t tell how clean the filter is or if it needs to be replaced, etc.

So easy to install works faster than I thought to filter water

Great product.

We've been through two of these in a decade, so ~five years apiece. This filter is excellent in all aspects except it is heavy & does wear the O-rings/slip-rings out on the faucet, I replace them ~every three years. Visitors frequently comment on the cool aesthetics of our PUR water filter. Unfortunately, think we'll purchase a tacky dispenser that sits on the counter next time. We will miss this little PUR filter 🙁. A non-swivel faucet would be perfect for this guy.

I live in a small town in which the water is extremely bad and if not dangerous. More specifically, our water containersspores for a pathogen called Cryptosporidium. My first 3 month here were a nightmare as all of us were sick from thewater including my two young dogs.I have professional training in water quality and did everything I could think of to abate the problem to no avail. Fortunatelya relative from California (who also had gotten ill from the water) resolved the problem by bringing and installing a 3 stagePur water filter unit, which is certified to filter out this water born pathogen. This was in 2008 and despite even a plumberbeing able to prevent a faucet leak from the Pur assembly, I gladly lived with a leaky faucet(which had to be replaced a yearlatter primarily due to weight of the unit.I was not delighted with the older (2004 design I believe) but it did get rid of the cypto spores and life w/o chronic intestinalflu like symptom went on...I religiously changed filters every month for almost three years. I had to buy three of the units,as practically after a year, the filter unit developed massive leaks making proper filtering impossible. The price of replacingthem yearly was still acceptable....Right before Thanksgiving, my last replacement died....I could not find any of the older models in the local stores and thought the picture of this unit looked like my old one. As I was having company for Thanksgiving, I ordered it immediately and paid a stiff premium to get 2 day delivery.When it arrived (along with company) I opened the box to discover the enclosed piece of junk with easy installation notrequiring tools. Actually installation was very simple but PUR made this unit I guess because it wanted to go bankrupt.The older unit I had used religiously had a substantial threaded connector which attached to the faucet...it leaked but itstayed in place and did its job (for one year). This particular model comes with 4 plastic adapters which have 2 or 3 threadswhich you manually tighten to the bottom of your faucet. I did not want to install it but did not want to make my guestssick either, so I tried to use it and it lasted less than 2 weeks before springing a substantial leak which I could live with...However the PUR engineer who designed this piece of rubbish really did a job on this unit. About a half hour after aleak develop the entire 'mickey mouse' unit just collapsed into the sink. I spent over four hours trying to re-install withoutsuccess and then contacted Amazon.com for a return.Realistically this properly installed unit was treated very gently and ONLY by me....lasted about two and half weeks. This design is insane. This newer unit not only weighs more than the older unit but its connection to your faucet is maintainedsolely by two or three threads on a plastic adapter which perhaps could hold the weight of unit without the cartridge PERHAPS but tend to doubt this and have no intent in experimenting. Fortunately because water quality is a seriousissue for me, I had purchased a GE water filter unit as a backup.Not only is the design of the adapter crazy but when you turn on the black back unit to filter your water, it pivots theentire filtration system to a jerk and tilts it forward. This last stunt convinces me the design of the this model was notmade for home use but for early - very early disposable of the unit.I also went out today and looked the newer Pur water filtration systems available and all of them have this easy installprocedure and 'one click removal.' After my this experience, Pur could not get me to install their newer units usingthis design for a million dollars.As a former published toxicologist, I acknowledge that the separate Pur filter used in the system is of excellent qualitityand never received a bad filter....But a water filtration system needs more than an adequate filter but a way of reasonablyattaching it to your faucet which is stable....This one is not.I am not a plumber....but did have a plumber install one of the older models(which worked but leaked at junction withfaucet). I literally had to coerce my plumber to install the older unit which has now been discontinued and replacedwith their ostensibly 'easy install - no tools units.'I strongly caution buyers not to rely on the nonsense Pur had gotten itself into. You may be able to install it and have itwork fine for a day, week or couple of weeks but if the unit is like mine, you will sincerely regret purchasing their newermodels featuring 'easy install' features.I have never commented or written a review of any product on amazon.com. But my horrible experience warranted meto share my views with other consumers. Before doing this I emailed PUR and pretty stated the above to them and informedthem I would not post a review if I heard back from them(thinking perhaps the unit I had gotten might have beendefective). Pur is yet to respond and I doubt will.As stated above the PUR FILTER unit (cartridge) is of excellent quality and is the only one certified to remove pathogenicspores from water. They deserve credit for the filter design but changing the design of the unit and going for a aneasy install products is I believe a market manipulation PUR will regret....The older unit leaked but nothing for thisprice range is perfect but did work for a whole year(terms of warranty).If you do experience the same problems I did - please do not Ignore - return unit - contact PUR by email. The quality ofwater nationwide is pretty rotten and in small towns like mine actually dangerous. Considering all factors, I do notsee that the situation will improve. PUR needs to re-engineer its faucet attachments and stop ripping off consumers.I VERY STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT BUY ANY PUR PRODUCT WHICH TOUTS AN EASY INSTALL(TOOLS FREE) SETUP asstrongly believe you have the same problem I did.is simply not apropos for most kitchen faucets and anything
