PUR Horizontal Faucet Mount Water Filtration System with Lead Reducing Filter for Cleaner, Filtered Tap Water, Lasts 100 Gallons, Sink Water Filter, Fits Most Kitchen or Bathroom Faucets, Black

It's a very nicely built faucet filter, only thing is, it won't connect to my RV faucet..dang! So I guess, I need a new faucet. Update later, when I install a new kitchen faucet.

I hesitated to buy it after reading some reviews. However, I had no choice but decided to buy it. I installed it, and initially the water was coming out from different places around the faucet. So, I took it off and I decided to reach out the landlord office maintenance team and asked them to buy another faucet and put it back and it worked perfectly. So, if there is a leak then it is the problem with your faucet NOT with item itself OR you did not install it in a proper manner. The customer support is really great and helped me with all questions that I had about filter. Do NOT use hot water through filter. ONLY cold water.

I'm a water snob and previously would only drink spring water - and not the store's generic brand. I drank some water at my daughter's house, with the PUR filter connected and was sold. Got one, installed it in less than 5 minutes from box opening to turing on the water at the kitchen sink. Bought June 12, '21 and the light just went to yellow last week. Still yellow so, waiting for it to go red before replacing the filter. We go through more than 10 gallons a week easily. IT takes 3 minutes to fill a gallon jug. We also use it to fill our portable ice maker and the ice cubes are much better tasting than the ones the fridge produces with it's inline filter. Paid less than 30 bucks. So, roughly 2 and a half months between filters. We no longer buy 5 - 24k cases of spring water a week so, $20/week saved.

We are very sensitive to the taste of municipal water. The area we live in has a rather bad mineral taste. We have always purchased bottled water but with the Covid 19 pandemic, bottle water has been a challenge to get. As an alternative we purchased a PUR PFM 100 Black. It is easy to assemble and install. Took less than 5 minutes. The filter has a by-pass valve, so you switch when you want filtered water. You should never run hot water through the filter. You need to run water through the filter for 5 minutes when first installed. Here is a summary of the PUR PFM filter. It is economical, the filter is good for 100 gallons, after which the filter should be changed. There is an LED light which indicates when it is time to change the filter. This is an economical product. You get what you pay for. I am looking to replace this after 6 months or so, if we continue heavy use. It does a good job of filtering. It is a bit of a problem in that it is bulky and can get in the way. It is easy to uninstall/reinstall. We got this as a temporary solution. We did not want to spend lavishly on a heavy duty system. It serves our needs for the current situation.

Installation of this filter system was quite easy. All I had to do was unscrew the current aerator on my sink faucet and screw the PUR device into it. There are three included adapters for more sink sizes, including interior threaded faucets. The filter unit slips into the black cylinder easily - though there is not much guidance as to what way it should go, and I kind of doubted it would do anything because of how it was seated. But, when I tested the filter, it did indeed work. Flipping the switch up lets water run normally, while flipping it down runs water through the filter and out a thin spigot hole. It's rather slow compared to a faucet, but faster than a standalone "gravity" filter pitcher, probably because of the water pressure. It does take a fair amount of time for the water to stop flowing after you turn off the faucet - I counted about 20 seconds until there were only very isolated drips. An indicator light tells you how far along your filter is in use. I did a visual examination of the water as well as a blind taste test. As you can see in the photo, the unfiltered (Chicago) tap water (on the far left) has a filmy residue, and it did affect the taste. The other two samples were from the PUR sink filter and from our PUR standing pitcher in the fridge. Both of these filtered samples lack the filmy residue. I put all three into the fridge to reach an equal temperature, and then I tasted. The unfiltered water was easy to identify from taste alone. The filtered samples were much cleaner tasting (i.e. like nothing at all) and I could not distinguish between them. This tells me that 1. they are filtering the water; and 2. that they filter about equally. For the cost and the ease of use, I give this 5 stars. It's really quite convenient and doesn't involve the hassle of constantly refilling a pitcher.

The Pur Filter was easy to install and worked well for the first filter and the second filter change. However, when we changed it for the third time and secured it the same as we did the first few times, it began spurting water everywhere at multiple points. We ensured that it was tight on our faucet and have tried to adjust it multiple times with no luck. For the first two weeks, the red light was blinking, indicating that it was not filtering and the filter needed to be changed (note the filter insert was brand new). After two weeks, the light began blinking green by itself and without any further adjustments, indicating that it should be filtering the water. However, it has continued to spew water from multiple points along the filter attachments, which soaks our floors and shirts in seconds, weakens the flow of water coming from the filter, and making us question, despite the blinking green light, whether it is actually filtering our water. Unfortunately, now we find this product highly disappointing, especially given that we need to know reliably that our water is filtered due to its high lead content. We trusted that this product would have reasonable longevity, especially since we have to purchase new filter inserts every few months anyway. Lack of clear warranty policies on this product are concerning and have made us very frustrated in determining how to go about trying to express grievances, get a refund, or a replacement offer for a faulty product.

This version does NOT have the quick connect-release that my first one had, making it very difficult to remove when needed. It also does NOT spin 360° which means it is often in the way. Worse, when I changed the filter the first time, the Clean Water indicator did not reset, so it was worthless after 4 months. Sigh. It does hold the Pur filters well and those do work. So not bad, but not good. UPDATE: Original comment made at the beginning of 2021. It is now April 2022, and the filter cap has sprung a leak just above the R in PUR. With the water pressure in my area, the leak sprays a good foot or so from the unit! There are pictures of similar leaks in the photo section so I'm not going to post mine. I was able to reset the filter indicator after reading comments, but I'm afraid this leak has made me change my mind about the quality of the new PUR units. I will be looking at different brands this time.

Sometimes one must read the details before coming to conclusions and posting reviews on products. I was skeptical about this product since many of the reviews on here spoke about the filter not fitting their faucet, dripping, etc. The package comes with 3 attachments to use if the filter does not fit to your faucet alone. That's if the filter itself without any attachments does not fit. My filter fit my faucet without the need of those extra adapters. PUR also states that if neither the filter nor any of the adapters work, they will send you one that fits if you contact them. The filter also must be attached level to the faucet, gently but firmly to avoid any leakage. And it is a sink faucet filter so obviously if you attach it to any other faucet the dripping will be a problem. As far as the size goes, it's not too big for my sink and actually swivels around if attached properly to get out of the way. So far it is functioning well although I cannot yet comment on longevity as I've only used it for a few days. But so far the water tastes great and I would recommend this product.

This doesn't work outside of the US, which was not made clear on the ad when I bought it. Spent a lot of time trying to find an adaptor that fits both sides to use it in the UK, managed to find one, but still leaks everywhere

I purchased this with some hesitation based on all the mixed reviews I saw. I've had this now for 3 months and I have to say I couldn't be happier. The adapter that was provided fit my faucet with ease. The water taste/quality is IMMENSELY better and I live in an area that sits on a salt bed. Very simple installation. Manual is laid out clearly with easy to follow instructions. Take it from me I spent nearly 3 weeks looking up reviews and I finally have one. If you live in Canada and your water tastes disgusting, don't hesitate. BUY ONE! Thank you Pur!

It was elegant matches my interior theme. The seller should include more compatible adaptor and more information on the 3 adaptors. None of them fit. Luckily i hardware shop nearby that the uncle recommend me a good fit which settle my problem. But there is another problem, water leakage. it took a while to get it solved by a plumber modification. After all, the water taste gooood!

Easy to install works great

works well, at first it didn't fit my tap so I emailed the manufacturer they sent me a kit with more attachments
