Product description

Pour a glass of clean water anytime when you use the PUR 2-Stage Pitcher Replacement Filters. Designed to fit any Pur Plus pitcher or dispenser, this filter keeps your tap water cleaner and tastier by removing microbiological cysts and reducing lead, copper, zinc, asbestos, chlorine, bad taste and odor. Automatic safety-monitor gauge lets you know when the filter needs changing. Each filter processes about 40 gal. of quality water. 3-pk. Made in USA.

Keep drinking chemical- and odor-free water with a new PUR water filter. This pack of three replacement filters fits PUR’s Ultimate Water Filtration Dispenser and Pitcher. They reduce cadmium, cryptosporidium, giardia, lead, mercury, asbestos, copper, zinc, and sediment 96 to 99.99 percent; plus lessen chlorine levels and discoloration.

PUR’s filters are made with activated carbon to reduce chlorine and sediment, and include an ion-exchange resin that helps eliminate lead and copper. For best results, filters should be changed every 40 gallons. While PUR filters rid water of many chemicals, coloration, and bad flavors, they do not soften water or remove fluoride. This package of filters measures 7.9 by 7.6 by 2.7 inches, and weighs 2 pounds. --Jessica Reuling

« Cheaper by the 1-Pack?! »

I'm a died-in-the-wool Pur user. I have a Brita pitcher as well, which I was forced to buy when Pur had some kind of epic distribution failure and couldn't stock replacement filters here or any retailer that I could find.

The Brita pitcher is flimsy and cheaply made. Pur water - from Los Angeles DWP tapwater, at least - simply tastes better than Brita.

But here's a wacky thing: As of this writing, filters in 4-packs cost $1.50 each MORE than filters in 3- and 2-packs. Filters in one-packs are the best deal of all! They cost $0.60 less than 2- or -3 packs, and OVER $2.00 LESS per filter, than buying the 4-pack!

Crazy, isn't it? Sure wish I'd noticed that *before* I ordered that 4-pack, for an extra $8!!!

Do you see that, too? Or is this an example of Amazon's mythical Customer-specific pricing?

Anyway, caveat emptor, fellow Pur users!

« Filters clog up shortly after purchase »

I bought the pitcher version of PUR although we have very clean water here, to get rid of the fluoride taste. After 2 weeks, no water filtering through anymore. When I called their customer service, I got promised a filter replacement, and instead they sent me a 2 for 1 coupon. Bought a new filter, which clogged up again after only 10 days. What is going on here? Their faucet version holds up to 6 months if you take the filter out after 3 months and shake it. Not so with the pitcher!

« Comparably Priced! »

I compared prices in regular stores and online and found the prices to be a tad cheaper on Amazon once the taxes and shipping were factored in. I would purchase this product again.

« Safely filter out the bad stuff and get clean, fresh water. »

Tap water has a most unpleasant taste. At least to me. I like my water to be pure and fresh, good tasting. That's why I use PUR filters in my two pitchers. I love the taste of the water. It tastes better to me than bottled water. I fill up my Thermos with fresh water and take it with me when I go out. I've used other filters but feel safer with PUR. I'm never unhappy with the taste of the water that PUR filters provide.

Check around for the best price. I generally find Target has the lowest price and I can just go to the local store and buy what I need. No need to over pay.

Highly recommended.

« Buy "Clear 2 O" instead »

Consumer Reports rates Clear 2 O much higher on quality and price. Part of the price problem may be that PUR has tacked on a mandatory welfare donation for Africa. If you agree that such donations should be up to the individual, buy the more effective, less expensive Clear 2 O!
