Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of PUR CRF-950Z 2-Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter, 3-Pack
Customer Review: uh..where's the automatic safety monitor alerts??
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, I've been ordering this product from Amazon for a while and I just looked up my past orders and used that order number to order more. The price was amazing so I ordered 4 packages instead of my usual 2. I didn't open them right away...in fact, I just opened them a couple of days ago...and no automatic safety monitor alert in sight on top of the filter. I went back just now and checked and the picture clearly shows a filter with the monitor clip on top. The ones shipped to me are domed-shaped at the top and have no monitor whatsoever. I'm not exactly sure how one is supposed to know when the filter is no longer working? Anyway, it's not what I was ordering; what the heck? I'm planning on sending it back for a replacement of what was advertised.Customer Review: Yes, yes, there's no indicator: Time to move on, people
Summary: 4 Stars
It is obvious from the current listing that Amazon is selling the CRF-950Z, which lacks the red usage indicator on the top, and not the old design, which has been discontinued for a while now. Plenty of Amazon reviewers already have mentioned that the indicator is gone. It's time to accept that fact and move on. The change in design merits at most a one-star deduction. It's really not difficult to tell when the filter needs to be replaced: If the water flow through the unit starts getting slow, it's done. For those who don't know how to use a calendar, Pur includes stickers in the box that you can place on the pitcher as a reminder. The bottom line is that the CRF-950Z a good product and is superior in performance to Brita.Customer Review: No replacement monitor
Summary: 2 Stars
When I opened the box I thought Amazon had sent me the wrong item. Where was the orange thingee at the top that tells me when to replace it?? After a little research it appears that PUR has changed the design of their pitcher filters and has removed that feature. Not happy! I count on that stupid orange thing to let me know it's time to replace my filter (don't pay attention to the user supplied picture that clearly shows the replacement indicator!).
So now I'll either not change it enough (ewww) or change it too often (gee, that couldn't be PUR's master plan could it?? nawwww). I guess I'll set myself up with a monthly email reminder to change the filter and begin my search for a friendlier water filtration system.
Customer Review: Best Price over Target
Summary: 5 Stars
Silly me just bought this three pack "on sale" from Target. It was $6 off from 29.99, making them 23.99. Then I got home on Amazon and see where they are $19.99.
I'll be taking the Target ones back! as I go there all the time.
Note: these filters work well. There is no "indicator" on top like they used to make...don't even know if they make those anymore. But they do include a "stick-on" calendar thingy that shows you a two month window of when they are supposed to be good. The sticky works fine...you just have to remember to take it out of the box and affix it to your jug. But it tells you exactly when you started and should end using that filter....
Customer Review: I thought they were defective
Summary: 4 Stars
I have two pitchers so when my order arrived, I opened two packages and found the filters to be moist. I've never noticed this before and was afraid to use them. I tried to call but it was late afternoon on a Friday and I had to wait until Monday to call again. I tried e-mailing.
When I did call on Monday, I was on hold for 20 minutes before someone told me that they shipped that way. These filters are not cheap and I stood to lose 2 of the 3 had I waited the 3 weeks for an e-mail response.
Maybe it's noted somewhere on the packaging that they ship wet but I couldn't find it. I love the pitchers but the customer service leaves a lot to be desired.
