Others say...

"Pur--ly Crackable"
Though a perfect solution for Seniors with arthritic conditions, P&G should be ashamed for distributing this product. Apparently sending it to Mexico for sub-par plastic mold manufacturing makes it okay to then sell it in the U.S.

By the way, they actually make more money on the filters--but you can soak them in Vinegar to clear out the lime build-up and get extended life from it. However, I haven't found a solution that works for resealing the plastic molding.

If you don't want this kind of trouble from a product--don't buy it.


"Leaky Leaky, Breaks off easily"
Been through 2, both leaking terribly. The second one would leak, even when "off",which meant hot water would run through and ruin the filter. The last one also broke off at the plastic spigot and landed in the sink when I accidentally bumped it while trying to wash the big high-chair tray in the sink. Trying Brita next.

"Leaky Mess"
Sure the box raves about how it filters different types of sediment, but it doesn't tell you how leaky it is. We bought two (one after another) and it leaked from underneath the faucet connector both times. Tightened and retightened, but no improvement. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Didn't even get to taste the water

"Hairline crack"
I have the same problem as stated above. After a couple of months of operation, a hairline crack developed at the replacement indicator window. Sadly the construction is not what it should be as my wife and I use the unit very lightly.

I've contacted P&G and hopefully they will cross ship a replacement. If not, I would say avoid this product and others made by this company. I will try to post back when I have heard from P&G so that others know how this was resolved.

Hope this helps!

"Do not buy this"
Pur faucet mount filters have gone down the drain, quality-wise. We purchased this to replace the Pur faucet mount we've had for several years which just recently started leaking. Installed the brand new mount and it started immediately. Cannot get it to stop leaking. Absolute piece of junk, this.

What our customer's say!

"bottled, filtered water will be needed during the coming Depression ", The PUR FM-3700 3 Stage Vertical Faucet Mount water filter with refills will keep you refilling your water bottles. Stock up each time the Bottled water is on sale. Clean, and sanitize your used water bottles and refill them and drink the refilled bottles of water, so your stock of New water isn't depleted. The FEMA Disaster Preparedness Website give full instructions on how to sanitize your used plastic water/Juice bottles for re-use as a storage medium. PUR will give you the filtered Water. Beside, it's the GREEN thing to do.

"Pur Water Filter", In only six weeks filter housing cracked from middle of indicator half way down, squirting water all over. Waste of money, cheap product

"tried 3, all breaks after 2nd change", Very poorly constructed, each of them broke and started leaking water and bypassing filter after 2-3 filter changes. I bought a 10 pack filter, so had no choice but to keep buying the actual outside cell and they keep breaking.

Do not recommmand this at all.

"stuck with leftover filters", I have bought Pur filters repeatedly over the years. The filters have always clogged long before the indicator turns red. Previously, I returned them, as refills were $20 each and had to be replaced weekly. This one had cheaper refills, and they last for three or four weeks before they clog. BY clog, I mean no water comes through at all. I could deal with that and I could deal with the fact that pieces of the outside were falling off, revealing black underneath. I bought this one in February, and now, eight months later it leaks as much unfiltered water as filtered when I filter water, and it drips water when washing dishes. Where do I send it back, along with the unused replacement filters?

"KP", Filter provides good tasting water and was easy to install. Much better than other facet mounted filters I have used in the past.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Don't trust the indicator", The unit is easy to install, and filter change is also rather simple. But you would get a lot of practice, changing the filters, anyhow: They don't seem to last nearly as long as promised. I had to change mine after maybe three weeks of use. According to the red indicator, it would have been good for a lot longer, but the flow of water had been reduced to a drip, and only a new filter cartridge could address that problem. And given the price of replacement filters, one might be better off buying water by the gallon.

"Great,Except One Thing", Works great,makes water tastes great with no aftertaste,chlorine or chemicals.Just one thing,on the chrome one the chrome chips off,I have had mine over 5 years and it's got much use and some of the chrome has chipped off.I don't know about the other colors.Wish they'd make a stainless steel one.
There is an indicator on it that shows when the filter is dead,I run mine a few weeks over and water still taste really good and filtered.

"Beware unless you plan to buy new unit every 2 months", This product has very cheap plastic the outside case will not even last til the filter is finished up it will crack. First unit we had cracked about 20 days after using it so we decided maybe was defective so bought a second unit only to have that one crack 2 months after getting. The point of the product is to filter your water but if you have cracks that are running regular water down the side that is not filter and getting into your filter water only half your water is safe. So I would have to say unless you have $30.00 plus shipping to spend every few weeks I would not bother with this one. As for the full Warranty will cost you about $7.00 to mail back to the company and even then you may not get a refund. I was told they may decide it was not a defect and refuse a refund, which then you just add another $7 down the drain. So just BEWARE what you may be getting for your money.

"So far very good", Purchased this filter about two months ago. The usage indicator suggests we have a long way to go. No problems at all, so far. One of the faucet connectors included in the box allowed for a very easy installing.
Our impression is that the filtered water is unqualifiedly superior to the one we have tried for years using Brita filters (not faucet-connected). The filtered water flows with a constant outstanding speed.

Prior to purchasing the product online, I had read through many reviews of this and competitive products.
Of all filtering methods available, this one seems to be the most advantageous and practical. The cost is most competitive.

Some reviewers have complained that the product begins cracking after a year of usage. For the price, one year life-time is not bad at all! Perhaps some unsatisfied reviewers were not handling the piece with due care. When activating, the apparatus is to be turned downward; of course, this should be done gently (even though the piece is pretty sturdy). The user is also warned never to use hot water through the filter.

"Cracks and short life span for cartridge", I've had this faucet mount for close to a year. While the water does taste good, the short cartridge life and the eventual cracks that the housing develops after a while makes this a useless product. The cartridges almost always clogged up so badly to a trickle even before the indicator went to 3/4 full. This mean more frequent costly replacements. Now that the housing has developed cracks and water spits out from 3 different places, we can't even turn it on anymore. Considering the many reviews with the same problems, it's obvious it's inherent in the product and there's no reason to buy another. Now on to another solution!
