The 2-stage filter produces water that tastes so good, I've stopped drinking bottled water (at home, anyway). As a result I find myself filling the pitcher several times a day, much more often than I filled my Brita pitcher.
The functional design of the pitcher, however, could easily be better. Its pour spout is open to the air, while Brita's is covered, leaving the water exposed to dust, as well as to odors in the fridge. It's the equivalent of leaving a bottle of water uncapped all day or longer.
In addition, removing the top in order to add water requires more effort than it should; whoever designed it doesn't seem to have considered that the top must be separated from the filtration chamber. (For that purpose I've developed a technique where I pull the chamber up with my left hand while my right thumb releases the top from it.)
The LED light on top of the lid is activated by pouring, simply by the tilt of the pitcher. It's supposed to measure the amount of water you pour so you know when to get a new filter. If you pour one glass at a time, this will probably give you an accurate measurement. However, if you pour fractions of a glass, or potfulls, or if you tilt the lid when you remove it, it becomes a not very useful gimmick.
Despite the issues with the pitcher, which I hope someone at PUR takes seriously, the quality of the water makes this a product I'd recommend.

| I purchased this water filter pitcher to replace a Brita Pitcher after I learned that Brita filters don't filter out any microbes or pharmaceuticals, but only chlorine, etc. The design is great. Unlike my previous Brita filterBRITA Water Filtration System Kit 1 Pitcher Vintage Model (Large Capacity) plus 2 Fliters this one consists of three easy to clean parts, the pitcher, the basin, and the lid. When you pour from the pitcher, the LED flashes, indicating the status of the filter. It's not measuring anything when you pour, pouring simply activates the LED and tells you how much time has passed since you set the timer, indicating its state as working or not. Though it may filter a tad slower than the Brita filter, the time difference is not significant, and the fact that it removes 96% of pharmaceuticals, and microbial cysts makes it well worth it. If you enjoy the convenience of having an LED to remind you when it's time to change filters, I would definitely recommend this model. If you don't mind using the stickers that come with the filters to remind you when to change, or have enough confidence in your memory to do without either, I would recommend saving the money and buying one of these models: PUR CR-6000 2 Stage Oval Water Pitcher or PUR Water Pitcher with Bonus Trial-Size Samples |

| I was a little concerned about purchasing this pitcher because of the negative reviews regarding opening it. I bought it nevertheless because it seemed to filter better than Brita. I find it easy to open if opening as follows: Put one of your hands on top of the lid so you can hold it when it pops up (The hand on top plays no part in opening the pitcher. Its purpose is to just stop the lid from falling). With the other hand hold the handle same way as you would to pour water. Extend your thumb up and push on the corner of the lid. Lid pops up very easily. I can't really rate water taste because this is the first water purifying pitcher I've owned but I'm happy with it. |
Love vs. Filter Changes

After struggling with several attach-to-faucet filters, I've settled on this little gem for all my water filtering and am wonderfully satisfied with but one caveat having to do with the 40 gallon or 2-month filter change recommendation.
Living alone, its size is perfect for my needs. Still, there's no way I'll use 40-gallons in a two-month period. Wondering if I could double the filter life somehow, my Googles failed to answer the question so when the little red light comes on, I just reset it for another 2-months. I haven't died yet, and the water in the second phase tastes great too and I'm sure it's still better than drinking from the tap.
I don't mind crawling in bed with Pur for filter replacements, but think that 2-month cycle is a bit on the greedy-side of selling filters--at least to the likes of penny-pinching moi. I subtracted a star for that. |
Gets the job done!

| I have now used both a faucet mount PUR filter and the PUR pitcher. I guess I have to say that I like them both. The only reason I got the pitcher was because I was sick of the faucet mount getting in my way. But both work equally well. I like the pitcher because it goes in the 'fridge so you have COLD water all the time. With the faucet mount, even though you run cold water through it, it isn't always as cold as from the 'fridge. But then, you don't have to wait for filtered water when you get it through the faucet mount. With the pitcher, you have to wait a little bit for the water to flow through the filter into the pitcher. Also, replacing the PUR pitcher filter is a little easier and a bit less messy than with the faucet mount. But like I said, I like them both, for different reasons. |
