PUR RF-9999-6 3 Stage Faucet Mount Filter, 6-Pack

I'd been buying these filters for years at Kmart, etc. at anywhere from $15 to $20 per filter. They make our tap water taste much better and I feel great that we're filtering out lead and other potentially harmful elements, especially since we use this water for our two young boys as well. Also makes things like pasta and tea taste better, and even at these prices we were saving a bundle vs. buying bottled water not to mention the inconvenience of having to lug those heavy bottles back from the grocery store. Buying them here works out to less than $9 per filter and they come right to my door -- a pur no-brainer.

I have been using this product for over 12 years. My family loves the no-taste. It is very easy to change replacement filter. The only con is that sometimes a new filter lasts for two months and other times just for a week or two with same usage.

I read a lot of these reviews and seems that many people have different opinions about these filters.The truth is that these filters are cleaning your water pretty well but they don't last too long.The factory states that the filter is good for filtering 100 gallons of water ....nice statement.....they don't lie as long as your city water is pretty clean and free of debris before entering your filter....but that doesn't happen to often,so the more filthy your city water is the less water your filter will clean before becomes clogged and needs to be replaced.Due to the many complains about the life of these filters ,the company changed their item "description" to a 40 gallons instead 100.Thats more accurate.....some people will get more than that but most of the users will get less.I am using these filters for 3 years now and the most I can get out of them is about 30 gallons of clean water.Taking in consideration how much they cost,I can say that I'm not saving much but at least I dont have to go out every time I'm running out of drinking water.You might think that maybe it will be a good ideea to look for another type of filter maybe a different brand name but keep in mind doesn't matter what kind of filter you are using if the city water is dirty the life of the filter will be greatly reduced.

We picked up a Pur faucet filtration system for my home about six months ago. We also bought a lot of Pur filters. They were very expensive (why does plastic and carbon cost so much?), but we figured that good water was worth it - particularly since we have a little boy.

Our water is city water. It's not bad, but we thought it wouldn't hurt to be a little extra safe. It's just too bad we went with Pur.

The filters are supposed to last for two months or 100 gallons. So far, only one out of TEN filters has actually lasted that long. The rest have died within one to three WEEKS. The water stream quickly became very weak, ending up as mere drops. We were always careful to follow instructions, never ran hot or warm water through the tap...still, no matter what we did the filters died in practically no time at all.

We contacted Pur, and they claimed that our water must be incredibly bad. We don't believe that this is the case. We get city water, and it's analyzed on a regular basis; it's not particularly hard or soft, and nobody we know has ever had any problem with it. We used other filters in the past, and never had this problem. And it's not as if we got a bad batch of filters; we've bought filters from several different stores over a period of months, and they've almost all been awful. Approximately $10 per filter is a decent price if they work as indicated, but when they only last 1/8 as long as claimed, they become a rip-off.

Once we use up our final filter, we'll be looking for a new filtration system. I'll never buy from Pur again.

Great value for the price. Do not have to worry about not having one available when I need to change filters. Easy to use and fits most faucets.
