"The 3 Stage Pur Faucet Mount Filters 7-Pack is a 3rd reorder."
"I've been using PUR filters for several years now."
"There's always at least one dud filter in each box I order that filters as slow as syrup.. literally EVERY time."
"Best price I have found for these!"
"Just keep ordering the same filter for the great tasting water our Pur gives us."
"It often makes a jolting banging noise in which we have to switch to the faucet water to release pressure or something."
"The price makes it easy to keep a stock instead of running out to the store every time your filter needs changing."

"Water does come out in a small stream but I assume that's how it works since it's filtered."
"Water started sputtering out of the main spout as if it was clogged. What we noticed was when we started turning the switch downward to change to the filter, the water would come out the main spout fine as long as you turn it down about a quarter inch."
"I bought this about ten months ago and THAT was to replace another PUR filter that stopped working as well."
"My second one leaks around the top where you unscrew the cap to access the filter. If you're looking for a filter that works fine for about 4 months give or take a month, then you have found a winner!"
"After reading about how drinking chlorinated water raises your chances of cancer by 93%, I started researching filters and found that this one does NOT filter chlorine!"
"Plastic fittings instead of brass my have a lot to do with it but also seems that internal seal around on off valve will eventually look like niagara falls."
"From the get-go I felt that the filtered water tasted flat and stale: not an improvement on the unfiltered water Then I noticed mysterious puddles on the counter on both sides of the sink."
All PUR pitcher filters fit in all PUR pitchers/dispenser.

"The only part that was frustrating at first was that the spout on the pitcher does not move while pouring water."
"As of this review's writing, the "PUR 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter, 4-Pack" from Amazon is the best value available for these pricey filters."
"And my husband uses the 18 cup water dispenser so we go through quite a few filters."
"I recently started using the pur system and really have saved a lot of money on bottled water."
"This PUR 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter fits my PUR Plus pitcher perfectly."
"Obviously, I've used many filters over that ten year period, and during that time occasionally I'd get a filter that would not properly filter water after a few fillings. Some straight out of the packaging will not filter a full pitcher of water without taking the filter out of the pitcher and rinsing it repeatedly under water, and then reinserting it into the pitcher. Other filters, like the two I replaced just three days ago, are not filtering properly after only three-four fillings. Some filters--regardless of how many 'rinses' I give them, will not filter a full pitcher of water and I've wound up throwing them away and starting over with a new filter. I have since tried this procedure on two other filters that were very slow or wouldn't filter the water at all (again, brand new--straight out of the package), and once I do that with the toothpick, the filters work perfectly for the entire time (40 gallons, I keep track of the fillings). I won't upgrade the star rating of these filters, however, because I don't think Pur should make its customers do this much research and spend extra time AND money, simply to make their filters work properly."

"I ordered the five-pack and I received generic Made in China filters and not Brita brand filters."
"Yet, time after time, even after pushing down the filter with all my strength, the filter will not stay tightly secured in place. Why they didn't design this to "screw" said filter in place so it is water tight (versus just dropping the filter into the pitcher and pushing down), is a mystery to me."
"Any bubbles that float up from the filter while tapping are an indication that this solution is working and that water flow will improve. Re-rinse the filter or soak filter fully submerged for 15 minutes."
"The water where I live is not good, so I always filter the water with Brita and then boil it before I use it. I ran through 4 pitchers of the water before I boiled the last pitcher of water, but the water looked like weak milk after I boiled it. (I am editing to add that I also boiled my water unfiltered and it was crystal clear, but with that sprinkle of flora on top."
"Water TDS value was 595, after filtering, TDS was 505."
"In fact, if the pitcher is filled to 3/4 or more full, the water displaces the filter, so that it actually rises out of the slot."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I was impressed upon opening it as the main filter housing unit seemed very high quality and heavy. You can push the lever down and hold it if you just need to fill a glass or you can flip it up until it locks and and it will continually dispense until you turn it off. Some of these faucets require a 1 1/2" hole, and that would concern me because I have a synthetic granite/composite sink that it tough as nails to drill into. TIP: Once you locate where you want the faucet mounted, get a thin piece of wood (such as a shim) and drill a 1/2" hole in it. In my case, it took me a good ten minutes to drill through my sink (probably a 1/4" thickness) and the bit was completely useless once I got through the surface. Once the hole is drilled to your liking, follow the illustration for assembling the hardware for the faucet and mount it. I have a 2200 square foot ranch that was built in the eighties with that nasty, defective polybutelene plumbing and, after a ruined master bath and another close call in the kitchen after owning the house for just 6 months, I had my plumber completely re-pipe to the tune of 5K. If you decide to do this, the only one you won't be able to use one on is the yellow line that goes from the RO unit to the tank (because it has a crimped-on special two-way valve). One word of caution though- if you do this be very careful and mindful that you are screwing a metal compression connector onto plastic threads on the unit. My advice, in hindsight, is to determine where you're going to want the unit and place it there prior to beginning the install. It took me longer than it probably would have taken most people, but I have a unique kitchen sink with funky plumbing (couldn't use 1/2" adapter included to feed system from faucet bottom, instead had to convert down to 3/8" and run from cold water valve)."
"Results: faucet tap= 328ppm. aquafina bottle water= 2ppm. kirkland (Sam's Club bottle water) = 20ppm. and the apec water = 25ppm."
"We already had a separate "beverage faucet" (with simple inline carbon filter) mounted on our sink so it was pretty much plug and play. I'm using a Watts Premier 560087 as the 5th stage filter (last is the carbon filter) in our APEC ROES-50. Never had acid reflux before with our inline filtered water used to brew coffee. P.S - I know APEC makes a remineralizing/pH filter, but the Watts filter contains additional minerals such as magnesium and potassium, whereas the APEC filter is just calcium. It installs in between the tank and the tee, vs the 1-way "final filter" of the APEC (probably why it doesn't raise the pH that much - water passes through it too quickly). The tee just replaces the 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 existing tee on the RO system For the 3/8" final filter, I really like the Hydronix filters, I used B00D04BYIK (again, search on Amazon), but any 3/8 inline carbon filter will do."
