Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of PUR CTRF-5050L 1 Stage Replacement Filter, Single Pack
Customer Review: Don't bother installing this PUR filter kit
Summary: 1 Stars
PUR has not only discontinued the undercounter/countertop filter kit, but it has also discontinued the replacement filter cartridges. Gee, thanks a lot, Proctor & Gamble (the new owners of PUR)!
If you go through the trouble to install an PUR PLUS undercounter kit (requiring a hole drilled into the sink to install the dispenser gizmo), then the whole kit goes to pot when you find that you cannot locate any replacement CTRF-5050 cartridges.
There are several sellers on eBay selling the normally $25 cartridge for double the price, but you would be well advised to go look for some other major brand undercounter kit for which you can still purchase replacement filters. Paying a premium for leftover PUR filters is money wasted that could have been spent on getting a entire new kit, as no one else makes a compatible replacement filter for the old PUR countertop or undersink unit.
Keep this in mind the next time you consider making an expensive purchase of a P&G branded item that might require regular replacement parts in the near future!
