Pur Water Filters

Had to replace the first filtration unit when it split wide open. Now the second one leaks at the seam where the unit is closed after inserting filter. Product box states "100% satisfaction within 30 days or money refunded, no questions asked". In fact, when I called to complain and ask for refund, I received nothing but questions and a refusal to do a refund. Do not buy this product, it's a ripoff.

Over the past year-and-a-half I have purchased two Pur water filters. The first one cracked on the housing unit, I thought it was because it had been tightened down too hard. I purchased a second one and I am the only one who has used it and I know for certain that the housing unit was not tightened too much thereby causing the plastic to crack. The best the company was able to offer me was a new one if I would send the old one in and I pay the postage. That's almost the cost of a new one. Additionally, it would have been two to four weeks turnaround that I would have had to do without a water filter. Although it does filter water well, the taste of the water is great, the unit only last about 4 months if that. Not worth the money.

Awful, and poorly designed, falls apart after a few months, blows off of faucet as well, and increases in frequency after time when out of warranty. Filters expensive also. Don't make the same mistake as I did.

Pur Water Filters were recommended by my landlord and they seemed great at first so while I was in Costco I bought a plenty pack of filters. The seam in the back part of filter sprays water. I tried a new filter a it doesn't help. I don't have receipts to return. I've spent at least $60.00 and I'm very disappointed.

I have been active user of Pur water filters for a number of years but I have had to replace mine 3 times in the last 5 months due to a pressure crack at the lip of the filter where the top screws on sealing the filter, and it's not from over tightening. The first time I could accept that something happened but when the second time 6 weeks later I was suspicious. But now it has happened again in a month. I have to have a filter so I guess I will have to try Brita. I bought my last 2 Pur filters from Amazon which I am saying is no different than buying from Wal-mart. I just think Pur needs to improve the product control.

I have been using the Pur Filter System on my kitchen sink for about a year now and had to replace it twice because the housing part that holds the filter did not last. When I turned the water on it would make a really loud vibrating noise and the water would not come out of the faucet. Needless to say I am not going to buy another one because the quality is poor.

We've had the filter for 4 months now. Changing the filter when the light went red. It did crack on the first changing which is a common issue, we looked past it and taped it up. But, we have been sick ever since we started using the filter. Went searching for clues and found mold growing in the filter in places that you're not supposed to change or clean out. If you want to save your family from awful sickness (Severe head cold, flu, gastrointestinal issues, my husband even was sent to the ER with a 107.3 temp.) do not buy this product. It has caused us so much pain and discomfort. My 10 month old has been sick non-stop for 4 months with a head cold and tummy issues. I'd much rather have mediocre tasting water than be sick.

Got the "Sorry only 1 month only on returns or refund." so thanks for your money fool.

I purchased a PUR faucet filter today locally at Bed Bath and Beyond. The system was rather easy to install on my kitchen faucet using one of the adapters included. From the very beginning of installation it leaked. I fiddled with it for hours trying to tighten the adapter and applying other methods to stop the leak. Nothing worked. If you go to their website which incidentally is one of the worst websites I have ever had the displeasure of visiting, they will supply you absolutely free a new metal adapter. That is if you can complete the order. The website does not work. Good Luck! Why doesn't the company supply a proper adapter in the original packaging?? So - I am left with a leaking piece of ** that I paid good money for. Another piece of crap peddled to the American public. I mean it shouldn't be this hard people!

Here we go again in this country with crappily made products and the public gets screwed. Like everyone else has said, we purchased the PUR we liked it. Eventually, we got a couple of new ones and they leaked and the light wasn't working, yada yada. I haven't noticed any unpleasant taste though like some people have, but I have been having horrible stomach problems of which I can find no reason. One reviewer listed the toxic ingredients and their levels and now I am wondering if that is why I am sick. If I find out that this is the problem I am going to sue that company!!! If this company has been taken over, why did they ruin it?

We have been using PUR faucet mount system since 11/25/12. Started with horizontal mount unit; replaced first unit after one year; replaced 2nd unit with a vertical, chrome unit on 6/27/15. At some point in 2014, we noticed the unit dripped, as did the does the new, vertical unit. We only hear drips if there is a bowl, with water in it, in the sink below the filter unit. We replaced our kitchen faucet this past summer and the filter unit still drips. The filters have lasted us about 60 days (+/- 5 days) before the amber light comes on. My wife and I are the only ones in the household. I am considering switching to some other form of filtration since the filter unit leaks and the price of RF-9999 filters has increased. I cannot recommend this faucet mount, filtration system.

When it was 6 months old the change cartridge indicator light quit working. I was told I would have to mail the whole unit back for repair. I didn't want to be without the filter so I declined. The ppm used to be around 45 with a new filter and about 100 unfiltered so I would change it accordingly. Now the new filter ppm reading is the same as the unfiltered reading and it makes a humming noise. I don't want to jump through all hard to comply hoops set up by Pur Water Filters so I'm throwing it away and purchasing a different brand. By the way this unit is only 10 months old. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this brand.

I have bought 2 Pur water filter systems. Both worked well until I had to replace filters. The on both I replaced the filters as easy as stated in the video except on both systems I bought the LEDs failed to light. I tried multiple times and to this day they still haven't worked. I will not ever buy Pur filter systems again.

I had this system for about 8 weeks when I noticed the following: There was a slimy feel to the inside of the water reservoir. Water filtering slowed. So I ran boiling water through it. Tried to shake it up after it cooled. Ran more boiling water thru it a couple hours later. I then noticed some whitish matter floating in the water. When I held a clear glass up to the light, I saw what looked like a tiny piece of rice - about 2 mm in length. I could not tell what it was, it was so tiny. I placed it under a microscope that magnified it 70x. To my absolute horror I could see clearly a white worm.

Biggest piece of crap company I have ever dealt with. Their products suck, and the customer service is worse.

These faucet filters by Pur are cheap, plastic junk. Mine leaked from day 1 despite following the installation instructions to the letter. After a year of daily use the plastic housing cracked spraying water all over the kitchen - useless. This was the 2nd one. I'm not going to be suckered into a 3rd one. I'm having a plumber install a carbon & sediment filter on the supply line from the meter. It will be more cost-effective over the long haul and provide better quality water.

Bought & installed this product. The disposable filters are to last for 100 gallons or 3 months according to their product info. I have already used 4 filters & they only last 4-5 weeks. I live alone & know that I'm not using that much water. Called customer service & was told the unit needed to be replaced but I would have to pay shipping return cost. A defective product should be replaced at the company's expense. Wish I had researched reviews on this product instead of believing the info on their package.

I added this filter to my faucet and immediately had problems. The water flow through the unfiltered faucet is severely reduced. This is followed by a loud hammering in the pipes until the flow is reduced even further. When the filter is removed from the spout, the flow returns to normal, and the hammering disappears. I have since removed the Pur Faucet Filter from my home and replaced it with a separate filtration system that works much more efficiently at any flow, without a water hammer damaging the pipes.

The faucet adapter doesn't last long before it starts spraying all over my sink area. You can go and buyback new adapter. You have to buy a new unit when all you need is the adapter. I will not recommend this unit to anyone. I like how my water taste but tired of wasting my money on another unit when all I need is the faucet adapter. My receipts got thrown away before I realize how fast the adapter goes out.

The last two boxes of PUR water filters were faulty. When I opened each one of them, there was moisture in them. The company said there was no problem with the moisture - that happens sometimes. I tried to use them and the water wouldn't flow through the filter like it normally would. It would take all day to get some of the water through it. The box states you will get 40 gallons, we got only 8 gallons and the filter would stop completely.

Since 2004 I have used a Pur Water Filter which attaches to the faucet and worked like a charm until 2014 when the cover cracked from opening and closing to replace the filter. Purchased a new replacement Pur Filter which I did not realize had a new design until I installed it. The LED indicator only worked for about 2 weeks then stopped functioning. I tried everything to get this filter to stop leaking. I have 3 different streams of water coming out of the filter (only 1 stream is filtered water). When I turn my water up too high (with lever up) the water actually stops coming out of the faucet and sprays out all over the kitchen.

Well about 3 months ago I noticed my filter had black mold growing in screen, the part that attaches to the faucet. I immediately called the company and was promised a replacement. Well that was 3 months ago. Nada. I very uncomfortable with the safety of this product and the fact that the agent was very nonchalant as if this wasn't the 1st or 100th time she got this type of phone call. I think these people should be out of business. I'm contacting one more time tomorrow then I'm contacting an attorney. This is unconscionable that this is even on the market and so poorly constructed.

4 brand new filters in my fridge $150 in service calls (service rep opened a brand new filter) and they didn't work. The service rep put in a knock off and it worked perfectly. I am out $140 in filters in the last 3 months plus $150 in service/repair calls..... I'm so angry it isn't funny.

Love the way water tastes with Pur filter. However it's very frustrating when it is advertised that alert light will inform when ready to change filters and it does not even come on after a month or so. I have had Britta before and their system does the same thing so I do not buy theirs anymore. Why is it advertised that this is a good thing for this product and yet does not work. By the way I have bought at least three different faucette (Pur) and all do the same thing... Frustrating and I will not buy anymore.

First time I called to complain, I wanted to know how to change the battery on a f/m filter purchased only a few months before. I was told it can't be changed and they sent out a new one but advised that once the light stops working, I need to log manually dates I change filter so that I'll know when it's time to change again! Frustrated, but said okay.

The indicator light no longer works. Read web articles on a fix but they did not work. Called their number and basically was told don't need the light. Well why have it then? There are many web articles on the same problem. Filter still under warranty but I would need to box it up, mail at my expense, and wait for a replacement. Told them "Forget it, I will throw it away and never buy a PUR filter (KAZ is parent company) or any other KAZ product." Lasted less than 8 months - received as XMAS gift.

After installing my "so-called" stainless steel (it is plastic) PUR water filter, per the instructions, onto my sink faucet, it leaked a little - just a little, so I endured it for a while. The leak became worse and worse, and the water flow when filtering was tediously slow. It leaks above and below the faucet adapter fitting. In only two months with minimal use the red light came on.

Cannot remove the top. I put it on and am a wimp, so I could not put it on too tight. Won't come off. I have asked other people for assistance and they could not remove it either. This is the first time I would be replacing the filter, so it seems that the same thing would happen again, if I could get it off. When I contacted the company, they just suggested that I look at the video. Britta was easier, but I thought that Pur would filter more things out. I think I'll go back to Britta!

Every time we buy a new filter the light indicator goes from green to yellow to red in the same day. It's very confusing. We have went thru 3 faucet units in 2 years. Same problems pop up with every unit.

I have had a Pur water pitcher for many years and it worked fine. Now in the last few months every filter is defective. The water stays in the top and never filters down. The first few started working again after I took it back out and tapped it on the counter. The last few nothing works. Guess it's time to buy a Britta!
