Customer Reviews: - Dont they test these things before they mass produce them?
 Even though I read the reviews here, just the thought of not having to buy water or juice anymore made me want to have this so bad. Sadly though these people didnt just receive a bad unit, seems like 90% or more have these leaking problem. I didnt even get to enjoy one cup of water, didnt even get to try the juice. =[ I installed this thing & its like I installed a waterfall, this thing leaked from every possible place, you know what I should have taken a picture. It was serioiusly that ridiculous, like the sprinkler cap they put on fire hydrants. I uninstalled & installed about 3 times, checking the washers, removing them & putting them back, still same thing everytime. I installed my faucets, I consider myself somewhat of a handyman so its not like this was brain surgery to me....more info - Not What I Wanted
 We bought this product hoping to reduce our consumption of bottled water and thereby our plastic trash (although we recycle). It did not live up to expectations for that purpose. The product works as advertised but it does not taste like most flavored bottled water, most of which also contains Splenda. So, if you like flavored bottled water, be forewarned that this product does not contain any sweetener. We tried to add Splenda and "bottle" our own, but never could get it to taste the same. The "bottling" process was no fun either, which we did not think about in advance. By the time we washed empty bottles and refilled them, we figure we used more water than what we saved by not buying more bottles. Also, we found it difficult to find the flavoring cartridges at our local grocery and ended up making special trips to Target to buy them. In the long run, we've returned guiltily to our bottled flavored water. If you just use regular water in a glass today, this product will be an improvement. If you are replacing bottled water, think twice....more info - Amos Young
 First Time I purchased a water filter,the water taste crystal clear I am more than sastified with this product and wii use it in the future.
Thanks,Amos...more info - Needs a bit of fine-tuning...
 There's not a whole lot to say about the product. You get what you see. It's a quick install, simple operation, and the filtered water tastes just fine. The flavors -- well, let's just say they need a little more R&R in my opinion. When I bought it, I was expecting an inexpensive path to thousands of bottles of Gatorade Propel water. Instead, what I got was a flat, heavy, sometimes bitter raspberry taste. Even when I added like 4 or 5 squirts to my water bottle, it didn't taste any better. That's not to say the product is useless. It's a great filter. Pur just needs to figure out the magic that Gatorade employs in its water and put it in the flavor packs....more info - Mostly pleased
 I read the mixed reviews of this product before getting it, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Thought I'd throw in my two cents.
First the bad: I had really hoped that the reports of leaking were just flukes, but unfortunately I also experienced leaking on the 2nd day I used the filter. I had to use one of the adapters to get the filter to fit on my sink, and it is around the adapter that the leaking is occurring... so leaking may not have been an issue had I not required the adapter. I tried reinstalling the thing multiple times, but the leaking persisted. So my solution was to go to the hardware store and get some stretchy plumbing tape. I wrapped it around at the point of the leak, and now I have no more leaking! On the down side, I have a piece of tape wrapped around my faucet. Fortunately, the tape is black and matches the trim of the filter, so it's not too terrible aesthetically.
Now the good: The reason I am willing to live with having tape on my faucet is because other than the leaking, I absolutely love this filter! I am a bit of a water snob (hate the taste of tap water), so I've been buying bottled water for years. I didn't like being so environmentally unfriendly, though, so I decided to give this a try. I love this water! It really tastes like bottled water! I did a little taste test comparing my tap water filtered vs. unfiltered, and the difference is striking.
Personally, I LOVE having the flavors. I am drinking SO much more water than I used to as a result of the flavor option. Like others, I have to use several squirts to get the flavor I want. I find that with several squirts, it tastes almost exactly like Fruit2O, so if you like that, you will like the taste of this. If you don't like Fruit2O or other diet drinks flavored with Splenda, you won't like this.
So overall, I am very pleased with this filter, now that I have found a workaround for the leaking issue....more info - A Fairly Good Product
 I've been using this product for a few months now. Replaced the filter about three times. Each filter seems to run differently. The water comes out of some fast and others slow. Don't know why but the water tastes great. Don't know I'd get this model with the flavor cartridges again. They don't last as long as one would think they should....more info - A great purchase!
 I love this! Our very yucky water now tastes great. The flavor is fine but the plain water tastes so good that I prefer it!...more info - Looks nice and the flavor is good too
 To quickly answer the question most people will want to know about, the flavoring option is a mixed bag. Personally, I think it tastes great but I am used to the flavor of "diet" tasting drinks so if you can stand drinks like Crystal Light, Fresca soda, or similar you will probably like this as well. This was a present for my mother, however, and she doesn't like the taste. Adding flavor is completely optional. It's simply a small plastic container that is attached to the front of the purifier and it squirts a small amount of sucralose flavoring into the water dispensed from the separate tap.
I'm also pleased to note that this matches a chrome faucet perfectly and I didn't need separate (included) adapters during installation. My only complaint is you never feel like it is installed securely enough. While only finger tightening was enough to use without leaks, it still moves around sideways a lot. I'm not sure if that was the intent, but I would have preferred something that locks solidly into place. Installation of the filter is idiot-proof as you are literally placing a square peg into a round hole. Screw the cap on the front into place, installing the flavor cartridge if you desire, and you're ready to go.
The filters are rated to purify 100 gallons before needing replacement. A small electronic light blinks green, yellow, or red when you switch to purified water as an indicator. Most importantly, the water tastes great and I find myself drinking a lot more of it in place of soda or other drinks. That certainly can't be a bad thing. Recommended.
Update (May, 2008): I feel I should update this review. While my purifier worked, I was disheartened to read so many reviews saying these were defective. After about six months of use I started to see symptoms of problems others were complaining about such as leakage from the mount and decreased water pressure (likely due to a loose seal). P&G, the makers of Pur, were nice enough to send me a coupon for a replacement faucet but unfortunately the replacement leaked everywhere. I now question the quality and reliability of these devices, but cannot change my original rating. While the idea is great, these do seem to be cheap junk and I would not recommend them now. I guess I was lucky the first time....more info - Nikki
 This product is great for water drinkers. It saves money that's for sure and the flavor options help the children drink more water as well. They love it as much as I do....more info - Pur Water ... Tastes Great....
 I picked this up at my local Kmart. We had a filter system under the kitchen sink but it was leaking and we needed something else. My sister has one of these Pur Water Filtration Systems at her home and I thought why not get one also. I would have ordered it from Amazon, but I needed something right away since the water was leaking under the kitchen sink. First, I had to disconnect the old filter system and have the water go directly to the faucet. That was the only hard part because I was afraid that I was going to screw things up underneath the sink. Then, up above at the sink, it was easy to install this Pur Water Filtration System. This Pur system has the flavor options which was nice. It looks like my main option for getting replacement filters and the flavor packs would be to order them via Amazon. It's true that you have to run the water for five minutes when you put in the new filter because the water is murky at first when you run the water through a new filter for the first time. The flavor pack puts drops in your water to give it flavor (raspberry) - suppose to be 75 servings per flavor cartridge. Thanks for reading....more info - Very impressive
 I really like this product. I was able to hook it up to my faucet in about five minutes, and it is so easy to use. I really like the flavors that you can put in your water, and the fact that I am now drinking filtered city water. No more buying cases of water from my local store and then having to recycle the bottles. Now I can just fill up my bottle and take it with me....more info - This will get me drinking water!
 I was very skeptical about this product and I wasn't willing to spend the money for something I wasn't going to like...but I really wanted to drink more water and not have to schlep home a flat of 48 water bottles every week. I read a review where a lady gave out a great piece of advice...she suggested buying the $9 flavor cartridge and adding it to some bottled water. You get to see if you like the flavor and you are only out $9 instead of the price and hassle of a unit and returning it.
I had several flavors to choose from: strawberry, raspberry, peach, and lemon. I chose strawberry. I was so excited to try this I left the rest of my groceries in the car and brought in only the bag that contained the flavor cartridge. I grabbed a nice cold bottle of water from the fridge and opened the Pur packaging to reveal 2 little flavor cartridges. I was hoping to just squeeze the cartridge and have a few drops expel, but it wasn't that easy. Perhaps someone else could get it to work, but I decided to just cut off the tip and see if that worked. I was able to get about 5 drops fairly easily and I sampled the water. I could tell I had added strawberry to the water, but it was at a level that seemed worth the trouble at that point. I squeezed again and this time about 10 drops came out. Another sampling had me hooked! This stuff rocks!
Let me say that I do enjoy Diet Coke, but I do not like Crystal Light or any of the other artificially flavored diet drinks on the market that have that crazy aftertaste. I love Propel Fitness Water and Fruit 2O and this tasted very similar to me.
As far as this being cost effective, I guess it isn't as cost affective for someone like me who likes to use more than the nominal few drops, but I will drink this all day long and to me that makes it worthwhile....more info - Easy to use, Tastes great!
 I just moved and the water in my new apartment was undrinkable. It was cloudy and tasted awful. I got the PUR water filter and now the water tastes great! Such a huge improvement....more info - No More Bottled Water To Lug Home!!
 We have been using our PUR water filter with the flavor options for a little more than 2 months now, & our light just started blinking yellow, so we'll need to be changing the filter soon. We have EXTREMELY hard water here, & our city water often has a metallic or chlorine taste straight out of the tap. Prior to buying our PUR filter unit, we had a water dispenser which held the 6 gallon bottles of water. There's a lot of self serve places here in town where you can buy the reverse osmosis filtered water, but it's a pain since my husband always had to be the one to go fill the bottles since I can't lift that heavy jug. It's great now that we don't have to always be sure to have the water jugs filled, we can drink it straight from the tap without any more strange smells or tastes in our water!! I LOVE it!! I also love the flavor option, you can choose whether you want plain water or a shot of flavoring. Just don't overdo it! It tastes awful if you put too much in, just about one squirt for every 8 ounces of water. You can put a bit more or a bit less depending on your preference, just go easy! I don't know why several reviewers have said that the flavoring has no sweetener in it, it is sweetened with Sucralose which I think is Splenda. If you are not used to diet drinks or don't like diet drinks, then you probably won't like the flavor options since it is made with a diet sweetener, but I think it only has a very mild, hardly noticeable diet taste. My favorite flavor is the raspberry, & they just came out with lemon & grape flavors. They also have strawberry & peach. I really like the lemon too, but haven't found the grape yet. We were unsure if anything less than reverse osmosis could help our hard as a rock water, and also get rid of the odors & strange tastes, but this does a fantastic job!! We have made some ice with the filtered water, & although it's a bit cloudy, it's a huge improvement over the ice made with straight tap water. The only thing we don't really like is that when we use the filtered water to make iced tea, the tea tastes fine, but it looks cloudy. When I contacted the company to ask about this, they said that is a normal after effect from filtering the water. As I said, it doesn't affect the taste, but it just doesn't look as good as the tea we made with the bottled water, but that is our only complaint. So we may start buying water to make our iced tea, but that won't be too bad. We are still extremely happy that we finally gave the PUR filter a try. When we decided to try the PUR filtering system, we figured we had nothing to lose since the P&G company offers it's either a 30 or 60 day (I can't remember for sure)trial period during which you can return the unit if you're unhappy with it. So give it a try!! You have nothing to lose except for nasty tasting water!!...more info - Pur Water
 Nice upgrade on the older units. Slight problem with the flavor pump acting a tad erratic, can't seem to get repeatability with total flavor density related to number of pump strokes. Other than that, fine product, works well....more info - Worth the investment
 I'm a very VERY picky person when it comes to water. I cannot stomach the taste of tap water so for years I've been buying at least a case of water each week.
I was very skeptical about trying anything out of the tap using a filter but I bought this with the raspberry flavoring. If you're going to do it, might as well do it right!
I'm actually very surprised. The instructions made it so incredibly easy to install and use the unit and the water that came out didn't have that 'tap water taste' to it. It was extremely clean and the flavoring is a nice added benefit.
I'd suggest this to anyone that uses bottled water on a regular basis. It will save you money in the long run and the hassle of recycling....more info - believe the reviews, this is bad...
 falls off easily, does not stay on, progressively gets worse
too big to wash dishes around
water tastes excellent...more info
