 So far very good October 24, 2008
Purchased this filter about two months ago. The usage indicator suggests we have a long way to go. No problems at all, so far. One of the faucet connectors included in the box allowed for a very easy installing.
Our impression is that the filtered water is unqualifiedly superior to the one we have tried for years using Brita filters (not faucet-connected). The filtered water flows with a constant outstanding speed.
Prior to purchasing the product online, I had read through many reviews of this and competitive products.
Of all filtering methods available, this one seems to be the most advantageous and practical. The cost is most competitive.
Some reviewers have complained that the product begins cracking after a year of usage. For the price, one year life-time is not bad at all! Perhaps some unsatisfied reviewers were not handling the piece with due care. When activating, the apparatus is to be turned downward; of course, this should be done gently (even though the piece is pretty sturdy). The user is also warned never to use hot water through the filter.
 Cracks and short life span for cartridge October 14, 2008
I've had this faucet mount for close to a year. While the water does taste good, the short cartridge life and the eventual cracks that the housing develops after a while makes this a useless product. The cartridges almost always clogged up so badly to a trickle even before the indicator went to 3/4 full. This mean more frequent costly replacements. Now that the housing has developed cracks and water spits out from 3 different places, we can't even turn it on anymore. Considering the many reviews with the same problems, it's obvious it's inherent in the product and there's no reason to buy another. Now on to another solution!
Getting ready to pitch my third one October 9, 2008
After our first one leaked, we thought it was faulty and bought another. After a few months, that one started leaking too. We wrote to PUR, and they sent us a free coupon for a replacement. It's been about 4 months now and this one is leaking like crazy too, so now we're looking into other options.
Leaky but better than a Brita. October 7, 2008
The good thing about this product is it's convenient in the sense that you don't have to fill up a pitcher and the water quality is good. The annoying part is a) the filters are expensive and you go through them QUICKLY (i.e. about two weeks for my, my wife, and our 3-month old); and b) the damn thing leaks so I am constantly tightening, taking it off and putting it back on, etc. etc. This is super-annoying because it squirts and spurts right on you as you're trying to do the dishes. Major design flaw. We'll live with it because we like the water, but this is not really a very good product at all. Unfortunately it seems like the best thing without going to another class and spending major $$.
i love the item, very compact and cool design and 10x better than the previous one i had which stood on the counter/sink. October 3, 2008
i like the design of this filter, the switching action between filter and regular tap is very smooth. another thing i liked about this item is its space saving design which means no more hoses snaking around the sink. Very happy with my purchase.
