Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of PUR Ultimate Faucet Mount
Customer Review: Tired of Carrying in Boxes of Bottled Water?
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been known to make our every-two-week pilgrimage to Costco to get our bottled water. Honestly, it is a lot of work to carry water around. And like PUR notes in their ad: "There's more than one way to get 100 Gallons of Drinking Water into your home."
So, something had to be done. This was a serious situation. I need water for tea, when working out and basically for cooking. I refuse to drink water that has not been filtered, just out of principle.
The other problem with bottled water is the bottles you have to recycle. I will probably still buy some bottled water, but the recycling load will be much less.
What amazed me was the ease of installation. Before, I had tried to install an under the cabinet "fancy smancy" water filtration unit which was much higher in price. What then occurred was a leak in the system and unfortunately I did not realize that on certain kitchen faucets, you can't do the installation yourself when installing a water purifier. I then had to call a plumber and had to install an entirely new kitchen faucet.
Save yourself this hassle and expense.
To Install this product:
1. You remove the faucet aerator.
2. Check for an adaptor (they include a few for internal threaded faucets)
3. Attach the filter to your faucet.
4. Install the filter cartridge.
Yes, it is that easy. Sure beats water torture as you are under the sink trying to peer into the pitch darkness of under cabinet plumbing life and water is dripping on you in a most annoying fashion. I have a completely new respect for plumbers now.
The PUR "Activated Carbon Microfilter" filter up to 100 gallons of water which means you replace the filter every 2-3 months.
There is an "automatic safety monitor": that has a red line which appears in a little window at the front of the filter when the end of the filter life occurs. At such time, you just replace the filter. Keep one on hand for such a day.
What I found as a bonus was the "Swivel sprayer" that attaches to the entire system. The water that makes its way through the filter also comes out in a spray fashion. The "ByPass" feature means that you can still use your regular water for washing dishes and then switch back to filtered water by rotating the water filter at the faucet. While I thought this filter would get in the way, it really doesn't.
This product claims to reduce lead, mercury, asbestos, MTBE, and TTHMs. This product should not be used with microbiologically unsafe water.
Five Stars for ease of installation and peace of mind! I can even order the filters here with book orders.
Such convenience.
