PUR Plus Vertical Faucet-Mount Water Filtration System, Lead-Reducing Filter, Easy Installation, 100-Gallon Capacity, Compatible with External Aerators, Grey

Great filter, easy install, noticeable improvement Installed this PUR Plus faucet system in under 5 minutes – no tools needed, fits perfectly on my kitchen sink. Water tastes much cleaner and fresher now, no more chlorine smell. Reduces lead and other stuff as claimed, which is a big plus for Chicago tap water. Filter light works well, easy to swap when it blinks. 100-gallon capacity lasts about 2-3 months for us. Only minor issue: stream is a bit slower than without it, but not a dealbreaker. Grey color looks sleek. Worth it over pitchers – convenient and effective. Highly recommend! 5 stars

I'm really impressed with how easy this was to install. It took a minute to have it up and running. The included converters is needed, I tried the metal one first, it screwed on my faucet right away, for a tight seal, then with that connected, the filter snapped right onto it, clicked into place, and done!!! That's it. It's connected. Really took me less than a minute total. And my sink is a very old sink so I was a little worried if it will fit, but it fits perfectly. My sink is very strong flow when opened all the way, so i opened it to max to check for leaks in the connection, not a drop leaked. So I popped in the included filter cartridge, screwed on the cover. And tested it, the flow is of course a lot slower, but that's expected. So I let it run for a few minutes as per the instructions (it says to flush it for 5 minutes) and it's working perfectly now. I switched back and forth from the regular sink flow to the filtered flow, the light blinks green every time, zero leaks, zero issues. I only just received it right now (like minutes ago), so time will tell how it holds up, but I was so impressed with the how easy it was to setup, that I thought I'd share that. Because to be honest, this was my only worry before buying this, I was hoping it will install correctly, which it did, and it was easier and faster than I thought it would be A few weeks later edit; Ok so I was so loving my Filtered water, that I convinced my neighbor, a older man, that drags a few gallons a week from the store, to just get this Faucet filter instead. But I know he'd be stubborn... So I just filed him a clean full plastic cup of fresh cold water from my filter. And asked him to taste it. He drinks down the whole cup and says hmm that's good water, zero after taste, zero chlorine taste, just clean tasting. I then told him it's from my Faucet filter, and told him look, with the money you buy all those gallons for, this will pay for itself in no time, and you won't have to shlep it from the store. He was sold, so I ordered him one from Amazon, same as mine. His sink Faucet is very different type than mine, but installation was exactly the same, and exactly as simple and fast. I had it up and running for him in 2 minutes. And he's loving it. So that's 2 very different type sinks, both very old. But both installed in seconds. And now that I've been using mine for a few weeks now, I gotta say I never knew I could love water as much as I suddenly do. It tastes so clean and amazingly fresh. I'd put it up vs any bought water from the store.

Don't buy the Brita faucet filter (the "Elite", ASIN: B000EOOQPW)! It's junk compared to the Pur and I can safely say this because I've used both. Brita faucet filters ride on their brand name household recognition for sales but that's about it. 💧 The water tastes better with Pur than Brita. 💧 The Pur is slightly larger and feels of a higher quality in construction, the plastic feels better to the touch. The gray color is much better and professional looking for a sink fixture than bright white because it matches the color of sinks and faucets, which are usually gray due to stainless steel or nickel finishes. Brita also makes a chrome looking one but that one looks even worse. The Brita feels cheap and flimsy, food stains and discoloration are also much more apparent on the bright white plastic of the Brita faucet filter. 💧 The Pur comes in a sturdy cardboard box sealed with tape, and everything is in plastic packaging or bubble wrap, the filter cartridge is sealed in plastic packaging, and you can tell it's new and untampered. The Brita faucet filter arrives in a thin-gauge cardboard box with no tape or seal of any kind, you could open it, mess with it and put it back in and nobody would know, the filter cartridge it comes with is completely unsealed inside the box, no plastic packaging, hilarious because the cartridges you buy for the Brita pitchers are all individually sealed in a white plastic package. 💧 The lever to switch to the filtered flow is extremely easy to activate because it rotates down like a lever, you could do it with one pinky with virtually no effort, even a cat could turn it on. The Brita filter uses a tab that you have to twist with your thumb and index finger, it requires two fingers and much more effort, if there's oil on it from cooking it becomes more difficult. This is important for people with poor hand dexterity such as the elderly or arthritic. I think about my grandmother in her 80s, and her hand dexterity is so poor that we have to open bottles for her, there's no way she could use the Brita. 💧 The aerator for the unfiltered flow is much better with the Pur because it's full speed, the Brita cuts the flow down significantly. 💧 The filtered flow is much better. Brita's filtered flow is like a laser beam: it's thin and with such high pressure that when it hits the floor of the sink it splashes out of the sink. Forget about putting anything even remotely close to the Brita, the splashback will be all over you. The Pur is a wider gentle flow, making it possible for you to put something right under the flow without splash damage (lol). 💧 The Pur installation is much simpler. With the Brita you have to screw/thread the faucet filter unit directly onto the faucet, with the Pur you screw/thread one of several included adaptors onto your faucet, this adaptor is not an aerator, it's a hollow ring, the faucet filter unit then clips onto the adaptor. Since the Pur faucet filter can clip on and off easily without having to unscrew/unthread anything, you can easily remove it to clean/wash it when it gets dirty. 💧 Because the Pur faucet filter clips on with an adaptor instead of threading directly onto the faucet, you can rotate the Pur if you want to move where the filtered flow is going to land or get it out of the way. You can't do this with the Brita because it's threaded directly on, if you try to rotate the Brita you'll either loosen it (which will start leaking) or you'll overtighten it (which will break it and start leaking). 💧 The Pur filter lifespan is calculated digitally through electronics inside the unit, the status is shown through an LED that's visible on the front/side of the faucet filter, this makes it easy to see when you're standing in front of the sink. The Brita uses a cheap mechanical gauge which shows a red piece of plastic through a peephole when it's time to replace the filter. This peephole is on the top of the faucet filter though, so you have to have your head directly over the Brita to look down through that peephole. If your sink is in a weird place or you're not tall enough this becomes an issue. The Brita gauge also doesn't work correctly, I had two of their faucet filters (the same model "elite"), one showed green but the filtered flow had completely stopped, the other showed red but the filtered flow was clear, go figure. 💧 The Pur faucet filters last longer than Brita and are cheaper.

My house has lead pipes and a very high level of chlorine from the water treatment plant in the water. The lead is fine (so far) but the chlorine makes it taste like I'm drinking from a swimming pool. I got this to alleviate the chlorine issue and to avoid any future problems that may arise from an old house with lead pipes, and it did it perfectly. Great filter, refill filter cartridges can be found in almost any department/grocery store, decent price, and the water actually tastes good and correct right out of the filter. This does what it says: reduces several dangerous chemicals and toxins in your water and then puts some basic minerals back in to improve the taste instead of just giving you absolutely pure water (which has zero flavor and many people don't like it). It is also very easy to install (usually no tools required). The only down-side here is that it is quite bulky and it is not designed to fit faucets where the nozzle is at an angle; it will work at up to 45 degree slope on your faucet pipe but it will be sitting oddly and it may splash water over the edge of your sink onto the floor. It really is designed for faucets where the pipe is 0 degrees (vertical) for the last two or three inches at least. Here are some things to be aware of before you buy: 1. Filters are designed to last up to 3 months or 100 gallons, whichever comes first. It has an indicator light that tells you when it is time to change the filter. You "can" use it for about 4 months if you don't use a whole lot of filtered water, but eventually you will need to change the filter or the contaminants will get through it and into your drinking glass. Filters are cheap and easy to find so change them when the light turns red. 2. It has a switch so you can either get unfiltered water in a thick stream bypassing the filter, or filtered water in a thin but strong stream which will use up "time" on your indicator light. So for instance you can turn the filter on for drinking water, brushing your teeth, etc. and then turn it off for things like washing dishes or washing your hands. 3. It is very bulky, designed for faucets that point STRAIGHT DOWN for at least a few inches before the end of the faucet. You also will need almost a foot of open space to one side or in front of the faucet because the filter unit clips onto the bottom of the faucet nozzle but then the main filter stands parallel to the faucet. It is almost a foot tall, too, but it only adds about two inches to the end of the faucet - the rest of the height goes upward beside the faucet. Look at the main pics on the item's description and you should see how it attaches. Now imagine if your sink nozzle pointed at an angle instead of downward... like my bathroom sink does... not the best fit for that type of faucet. 4. Although it will lock onto the faucet to gravity won't pull it down, there is no lateral lock so it will be able to spin freely around the faucet, you can move it side to side if it is in the way. Because of this though, it is not meant to be installed on faucets that point at any sideways angle - only those that point straight down or close to it. 5. Installation is simple, it comes with four sets of screw-in nozzles that replaces the aerator at the end of your faucet, then the filter unit just clips onto the new nozzle. The hardest part is actually unscrewing your old aerator, sometimes they are on too tight so you may need a wrench to loosen it but it should all be just finger-tight. 6. Whenever installing a new filter, run the water with the new filter in for 5-10 minutes before you use it. This clears out any charcoal particles small enough to get through the filter while also allowing the filter matrix to become saturated with water so that it actually works the way it is supposed to. 7. If you haven't used the water for about an hour (up to about 36 hours) let it run for about 10 seconds before you use the water for drinking or whatever, just to clear any standing junk out. If it has been longer than a day and a half, run it for 5 minutes again to re-wet the filter because it may have dried out. 8. Gravity is a real thing, so after you shut off the water the filter might still drip for a few seconds. This usually isn't a "problem" but something to be aware of - that drip is just gravity not a leaky seal, it should stop after a few seconds.

Works good so far. Instant water purification. I recommend picking up an alkaline filter to go with it. Comes with basic charcoal filter, works as it should. But if you want that spring water taste, get an alkaline filter/PH.

This Product is Amazing !! I’m usually not the one to right reviews but this was worth the buy! I have well water not city water , and you can actually tell the difference! Cooking, Koolaid ETC. 100% Recommend ! Doesn’t hurt the flow of water , the filtered water is a little slower, because it’s going through a filter but to be expected… seems pretty durable been using it for the past couple months and not a single issue ! Came with all the pieces and directions to setup!

I am so shocked by the difference in my PUR PLUS water filtration system! It was an easy install and I can’t get over the difference the water taste. I had a water filter water pitcher and since I drink a lot of water it was always having to be refilled daily. This is so much easier and better tasting .

Very nice product. I bought this to replace an old PUR faucet mount filter. I hadn’t realized how much I needed to replace the old one until we got this one set up. Wow. A huge difference in water flow. PUR filters always do good job filtering our city water & improving the taste as well.
