Customer Reviews

I got this unit on sale, and love it. There are some minor drawbacks, though: As one reviewer stated, some carbon particles do float into the water (though only into the pre-filter reservoir in my experience, not into the actual drinking water). Also, this reservoir only holds 4 cups of water, so you have to fill it up in stages; however, if the reservoir were larger, the unit would be larger as well (obviously), and I find it is just compact enough to fit easily into my fridge, under my cabinets, into the sink, etc. My main grip is that the lid does not snap on, so you have to hold it down with your thumb whenever you tilt the pitcher to pour. Overall, though, I think it is terrific.

I bought this unit (3 actually) on sale so that I would stop buying the 24 packs of bottled water. I felt that it is wasteful, bad for the environment and expensive to drink bottled water. My water at home does not taste bad and I've been drinking it for decades, but I do like the comforting thought of having my water purified just in case. For about the cost of 3 cases of water (about 3 weeks supply), I bought this purification system. The filters for the pitchers are not easily found so I stocked up by buying replacement filters Amazon as they seem to have the best price. I'd hate to not be able to get filters. Although I've had the reverse happen as I have two packages of PUR filters and no pitchers to use with them as those filters are now obsolete and none of the current PUR filtering pitchers or devices accept these older filters. This is why I bought more than one of these water purification filtering pitcher systems. At the price I paid, I should have bought more, but they are bulky and I didn't want to store any more than I have.
The instructions say to replace the filters about once a month, but there is a warning light in the purification device that will light up when they recommend that you replace the filter. PUR also recommends monthly filter replacement but I suspect this is more for their income cash flow rather than our safety concerns. I plan on replacing my filters every two-three months so that I can reduce my cost of filtered water by 50%. I've used wilderness water filters on truly horrific water (water the color of root beer, cow patties soaking in the still water, live mosquito larva and tons of mud and other particulate matter in the water) and what I do after I'm back home is to sterilize the filter by either boiling the filter core or drying out the filter and microwaving the filter to kill any active microbes. If you are an informed cheapskate like me, you can really reduce your cost/liter of water this way. I haven't sterilized a filter for this system yet as I've only had this pitcher for a few weeks, but when it's time, this is what I'll do.
None of the manufacturers tell us why we need to replace our filters monthly, but if it is to get rid of the build up of live microbes, then sterilizing the filter will do the job. With my wilderness filters, I only replace them when the filter gets clogged up and it is difficult to get the water to pass through the filter.
I'll be the first to admit that I am skeptical about how effective any of these filtering/purification systems are. Why? Because with my wilderness water filters require a lot of pumping pressure to get the water to pass through the filters and these home systems, the filters only require gravity and the water passes through the filter rather quickly and the home filters have relatively low mass/weight compared to the best wilderness filters. But, they probably will do no harm and the carbon element of the filter will certainly improve the taste.
I've had no problems with the lid falling off when pouring water from the pitcher, but I can see this occurring if you are trying to pour out the very last drops of water from the pitcher where the lid is tilted beyond vertical, but my instincts tell me to put my finger on the lid if I go beyond vertical anyway. It's simply common sense. I'll agree that they could have engineered the lid better so that it wouldn't be able to fall off while pouring, but to me, I wouldn't even call it an annoyance. I probably wouldn't even think about it if it hadn't been notated in previous reviews. The system is very well made and well engineered including the electronic UV purification system with it's retractable cord, purify/fill switch, filter replacement warning light, filter body design, etc.
At the original retail price of over 110 bucks... no way I'd buy this system as I'd probably go with a under the sink reverse osmosis system, but at the current discounted prices of about a fourth that, I think they are a very good value and probably one of the best pitcher type models available.
