Breaks Too Early!, 11/06/2009
By Cleighjp
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

This would be perfect and very convenient, only I've been through two of them in the past five months. The base of the faucet mount just breaks out of no where after just a few weeks. First it gets a crack, then water spews EVERYWHERE for a few days, then it comes off completely. I thought the first one was just a dud, but now that it's happened a second time I realize it's because it's a faulty product.

Spend a little more and get a nicer one that's more durable.

Easy to install even for the mechanically challenged. Saves a lot of money for not having to buy bottled water. I got this for my son who has a newborn and was having to spend a lot of money buying bottled water for mixing formula. He says the water tastes just as good as bottled water.

pur water faucet filter, 10/03/2009
By smurfette73
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

This product works great..the water tastes amazing. BUT the faucet set up ends up lasting only a year and ends up breaking because it is made of plastic. I have gone through 4 of them in 5 years. After awhile they become sink sprinklers, leaking out of the attachment. The warranty only lasts a year now I know why because the system only lasts a year. Then you have to replace them every year at 25-30 dollars a year. Wish it would last longer than a year.

2 units in 4 months Cracked., 09/28/2009
By wallyworld33765, Green Bay
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

Bottom line do not buy. The exterior housing WILL crack sooner or later and you will be left with lots of filter time but no filter housing to use the product. I went through 2 of these units now and decided to try a different brand. Consumer complaints on the web will have more information for those of you who do not believe me or have this unit. I thought I would write this and save someone the trouble I have gone through.

A good product, but..., 09/13/2009
By Ipl34, McKeesport, Pa.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

The filter installs easily, and the water tastes good. But you can only use it with cold water, not hot; you have to use the bypass feature for hot water (it's easy to use). That isn't on any advertising or on the box, only on the instructions INSIDE the box. Each time you put in a new filter, you have to run the water for about 5 minutes. That seems a little wasteful to me.

These things do not last very long. Every one I bought sprang leaks or started popping off the faucet under pressure. I would not recommend buying one if you expect it to last.

I have purchased 2 of these units. Both leaked horribly. The second one started leaking before the first filter that came with the prodcut was due to be changed. I would not recommend this prodcut to anyone.

A very good product, 08/03/2009
By Horsie2, Taos, NM
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

As soon as I got the filter home I connected it to the faucet (very easy). I had water that tasted so much better than anything that had ever come out of the tap. In fact I was buying bottled water because I didn't like the taste of tap water.
The only thing I don't like is not having the replacement filters at my local WalMart.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants better tasting water.

Product worked fine for about a month, then the plastic cracked and the threads failed on the lower filter part when using the non filter stage.

Cannot find replacement parts, had to buy new system.

This filtering system did improve the taste of the water.
The only leak that I encountered was located where the unit attached to the faucet, and I was able to eliminate that leak by adding the rubber washer that was supplied with the alternative adaptor fittings to the one already in the fitting which attaches the unit to the faucet. In other words, I used two rubber washers instead of just one. Be careful to get it on straight and to not over-tighten the fitting to avoid stripping the threads.
To give you an idea of the speed of water flow through the filter, it takes me 26 seconds to fill a one-quart bottle. The rate will vary, of course, depending on your water pressure.

Very quality product, 05/16/2009

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I have bought these for years now and this one particular model is the best. It doesn't leak like the others and I love the way you have to pull the submarine like tube forward or backward for on or off. This is different than some other models which you have a nob to turn which can leak more easily.

Great fresh drinking water but costly at first, 05/06/2009
By LMG70, cape cod
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

It looks fancy, the price is right and it went on smoothly but- the filter that came with the purifier was junk. It was a 2 stage filter. We used it for 3 days and it already had to be replaced. The water flowed extremely slow through it ( and I do have patience) We went out and bought the 3 stage filter, did the replacing and the flow was better, and the water was even clearer than prior filter. It's too bad we had to go out and spend an extra 18 dollars to get a new product to work correctly. That was the only down-fall. Other than that, the water is crystal clear and tastes great!

Makes my tap water come out tasting better than bottled water! Would recommend this product to anyone. Haven't had any problems with it yet but it seems to be a cheaply designed enclosure... it's so monetarily cheap it might as well be considered disposable anyway, so can't complain.
