I purchased this item in mid August, but decided to wait to write the review to give me some evaluation time with the product. It is now Feb 1st and I have had it for 5 months. I love this system, it was easy to install and I was lucky that my faucet accepted the basic adapter. So far in the 5 months I have had it I have had zero problems with the system. I have not purchased a single bottle of water since I got it. I just put in the third filter, so I got 5 months out of the previous two filters. I live in the metro Houston area and the tap water smells and tastes awful here, but when I sniff the water from my PUR system I cannot discern a smell and the taste is better than the plastic infused taste from some bottled waters. I was buying at least 4 cases of bottled water and purchasing bulk water for cooking. Now that is not very expensive, but it still comes to about $25 a month, which in five months would have cost me $125 plus all the plastic bottles in the landfill since my apt complex does not have a recycling program. The PUR system cost me $35 and the replacement filters were $10 each. So for $55 the system paid for itself in about 2.5 months of use. Plus I just noticed that an Amazon supplier has replacement filters on sale for half priced if you buy six. I am so on that deal...lol. If I had one criticism of the system it is that the filter exchange indicator light will eventually stop working before the system stops working and I am expected to just keep track of when I install the filter so I know when to replace it. While that is not a deal breaker when the time comes I will have to decide whether to buy a new system or do a strict filter exchange every 2 months to avoid the possibility of drinking bad water. I think PUR should correct that.

I bought this to replace a 5yr old PUR faucet filter that started leaking around the filter cap. It took 5 years to develop that. In my opinion, they last quite a while and these filter assemblies are the best around.- They come with every adapter possible to ensure it will install on your faucet right.- I bought the Chrome'ish one and it matches my faucet and sink perfectly. Much better than the old whiteone I had.- The filters are probably the best faucet filters you can find. They filter out almost all contaminants, although they won't filter some microbes. NO faucet filter claims that they can filter all those out.- We have decent water but after running it through this filter, the taste is 100% better. Especially after refrigeration.If you're looking for a quality faucet filter system, this is the best around. Just buy it and you will see that it's worth every penny.

In the past I've owned the Brita Water (die of thirst while you wait pitcher), and their faucet mount filter. I've also used another off-brand, the name of which I can't remember. THIS PUR SYSTEM however, has proven itself to me. Jackson Mississippi has been in a perpetual water crisis for at least the last 10 years. Boil water notices increased in frequency, low pressure, sludge and all other sorts of problems until finally the City's entire system failed. We are told to boil water (now for 3 minutes instead of 1) and that we can use this water to cook. We can't brush teeth, wash or rinse dishes or water animals unless using boiled or bottled water. I've been boiling water for more than two months. I turn the filter on and wait while my pot fills. Next I bring that water to a boil for at least 3 full minutes turn it off. Finally I put a funnel into my bottle and place a coffee filter in the funnel. A PICTURE IS WORTH MY LIFE. The first picture is empty bottles with funnels that have coffee filters waiting to be filled. In the second picture, the bottle on the left is a bottle of water that has been boiled for three minutes and poured through a coffee filter into the bottle. I forgot to filter the water through the PUR attachment before boiling. The bottle on the right is a bottle of water that was drawn through the PUR filter, boiled and poured through a coffee filter into the bottle. Can you see the difference? YES, PUR FAUCET FILTER SYSTEMS WORK. OUR WATER IS A STATE EMERGENCY NOW AND THIS PROVES WHY I LOVE THE PUR FILTER SYSTEM.
