PUR 2 Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter #CRF-950Z Reviews
I have been using PUR for 10 years and have seen several generations of PUR filters. Now I have to rush to buy another replacement filter., what a hassle. Now, PUR has smartly integrate this indicator inside the latest version of filter, where the filter will stop filtering (water stop dripping down the container) around the 60th day of usage. The last generation is the one with orange indicator that tells the life of the filter.
(For reference, the water here is better than Santa Fe, Chicago, DC, LA, and just about everywhere else in the US. I make two pitchers of water a day. How long do you expect a water filter to last. My last four Pur filters (from two separate boxes ordered months apart) have gone "slow" on me within 3 weeks of starting them.
So if you live in a place with water about as hard or harder than in any of those places, expect these filters to slow down on you even sooner than they do for me). 1-3 hours for a pitcher of water is not acceptable, and since this behavior is new within the last year, it's rather suggestive of a company trying to pressure us into buying a new box sooner than they advertise we'd need to. I'm in Mountain View, CA, where the unfiltered water is pretty good, so it's not an issue of my input water having more pollutants than average. Maybe the advertised 60 days.
Now, everybody's happy. Actually, probably 20 to 30$ which mean I am saving more than 20$ every 2 months. Recommended use is approximately 2 months. Some of our household members find it hard to believe that argument. So enter the water filters. Plus, no more hauling gallons of water from the grocery. 3 for 20$ or 7$ for each filter. No kidding, they are heavy.
After all, it is always being argued that tap water is as safe if not safer than the water you get from bottled water. Most important of all, I won't be contributing much to the millions of water bottles that ends up on the landfill. Then I figure, do I spend 7$ on water for 2 months.
I highly recommend the product. This filter is extremely efficient in removing toxins and the water now tastes good. My tap water is so bad the dogs won't drink it.
But this was the best deal online or locally. I double filter. Please.
Hey, a filter is a filter is a filter. I actually have a Brita faucet filter and then the Pur pitcher. The earth is begging, and so are your kids and grands. No more plastic bottles of expensive, dirty tap water for me, and no more adding to the miles of piles of bottles in the landfills.
You should consider it. Would do again.
