PUR Water Filter Pitcher Keeps Water Clear Of Chemicals And Odors
Last Updated on March 9, 2018 by Cassie Lyons
Drink delicious, fresh tasting water with the PUR water filter pitcher. This innovative pitcher keeps water free of chemicals and odors, as it reduces contaminants and bad tastes by using a 2-state water filter. The filter traps and reduces copper, lead and zinc, as well as 99.9% of microbiological cysts. While the filter traps most of the bad stuff, it does leave fluoride in the water. The water filter pitcher has a narrow, sleek design that fits conveniently into any refrigerator or sink. It has easy carry handles and a fill-tray design, as well as a filter gauge that lets you know when the filter needs to be replaced.
Each filter lasts approximately one to two months. Often times, consumers are unsure of whether to choose the PUR dispenser or the popular Brita dispenser. After all, the Brita dispenser has an ergonomic, slim design and runs far cheaper than the PUR pitcher. However, PUR’s filter reduces more contaminants that any other pour-through filter, even keeping out cryptosporidium and giardia. Product reviews have seen this difference in quality and have been happy to spend the extra money on the more dependable filter.
Online reviews have been positive when writing about the PUR water filter pitcher, and many reviewers have claimed that not only is this the best pitcher around, but it’s easy to drink the recommended 8 glasses of water each day. Some product reviews felt the filters would leak or slow down however, making pouring difficult. Some helpful reviewers recommended soaking the filter in cold water for 10 minutes to fix these issues.
The Positives
Water dispenser with filter helps reduces chemicals, bad taste and odor in water. Slim and space-saving design makes optimum use of your refrigerator shelf. Advanced filtration system reduces more contaminants (lead, copper, zinc, etc.) Pur water dispenser conveniently fits in the sink for refilling. Each filter has a lifespan of about one to two months.
The Negatives
Some product reviews felt the filters can leak. A few reports that the filtered water tasted bad after filtration.
So What’s The Scoop?
After taking in all the online owner feedback, I believe this is a great countertop water filter for making your water healthier, cleaner and tastier.
