I prefer Pur over brita any day of the week. I wish the water drip was a little faster, but I appreciate how much filtration it does. I’ve not experienced any leaks, bad tasting water, and it’s a perfect fit for my dispenser. Pricey but worth it.

Great replacement filter for our PUR water pitcher. They work well and it makes it easy for me to make coffee with the filtered water, as well. This is the first replacement we've needed, so I'm happy to have easily found this on Amazon.

I'm on subscribe and save with these water filters, and they have changed the game when it comes to nice filtered water. Water tastes like NOTHING, which is what you want from a filter! I recommend subscribing to get a percentage off.

I bought this in the past and it worked as advertised. Clean water, Pure taste, Very good. Then I was swayed by the siren call of "Zero Water", which I bought from a department store. Except, with ZeroWater, the water went from tasting pure to tasting Drastically bitter, even moreso than my city tap water (St Louis suburb), and its 'particulate meter' would go from a reading of zero to something different. I tried several ZeroWater filters, but all resulted in the same pure/drastically bitter pattern. Today is 12/2/2023, in case they change their filter formula.Does the ZeroWater filter make its water taste artificially bitter at expiration of its filter compared to the tap water poured in from the start? I'd say Yes, because PUR doesn't do that. PUR is Great from the start, then Gradually goes from Awesome eventually to the original tap-water taste. ZeroWater goes from tasting Great to Suddenly tasting like bitter chemicals, which was way worse than the original tap water taste. Anyway, I tossed my ZeroWater filter into the recycle bin and bought this PUR Water filter.Period. Don't believe me? Try the ZeroWater filter and tell me what you think. PUR is Superior compared to That garbage. Hey, if you can prove to me that ZeroWater is Actually Artificially making its water Bitter after the filter expiration, then I'll totally give you Kudos. Because I'm broke and that's all I can give. But take it from me, a lowly consumer: PUR Filters are Awesome, ZeroWater Sucks.

The cartridge is too expensive it doesn’t last that long.

Updating review for 1/13/2020, original review left below for context.So after filling over the past few days I've noticed it always stops filtering at a certain fill level.Taking the filter out of the container, I noticed the carbon granules looked fairly packed in the filter, and weren't moving around as I flipped the filter. I vigorously shook the filter for 10-15 seconds until it looked like all the particles were moving around freely, and put the filter back in the container.For the first time since installing this filter, the entire reservoir was filtered in a very quick amount of time.If you're encountering issues with the filter being incredibly slow or not filtering:- Take the filter out- Shake it (hard) for 15-20 seconds until it sounds like a maraca- Hold it under a faucet for ~30 seconds- Replace itProblems solved, review updated, will buy again :DOriginal review below:--------I previously purchased the version of this filter that does not filter lead. I believe the model was PPF900Z or CRF-950Z.As much as I like the idea of filtering out lead, these are impractical for everyday use. I PUR's pitcher, the DS-1800Z, and I've never had an issue with any of the previous filters I've ordered from Amazon / PUR. This was the first time I've used the lead-specific filters, and these are so slow, I'm going back.I filled up the pitcher's reservoir before leaving for a weekend trip and there was still water in the reservoir to be filtered when I got back three days later.I believe the issue is these filters need more pressure to filter, so once the pitcher has filled up to roughly an inch from the bottom, there isn't enough pressure from the reservoir to continue pushing water through to be filtered. I can top the pitcher off again to get mayyyyyybe another 1/4 inch, but it has never filtered all the water in the reservoir like previous filters.For how much these filters cost, there's no way I'm refilling the pitcher every 10 minutes to make sure I have a usable amount of filtered water in reserve.

I live in Dalby, rural Australia. Australia has extremely archaic standards on lead levels, allowing 4.5% lead content in faucet fittings (as opposed to .25% in the USA/Canada). There are many old lead pipes in Australia's plumbing, but the government has avoided expensive replacements claiming the lead levels in the water are "natural". The government has recently begun recommending all households run their faucets for 30 seconds first, before drinking the water...My water tastes metallic. Are lead levels elevated in my water? I don't know, probably not, I don't care. There is inevitably some amount of lead, and it is inevitably going to be reduced by this filter. There's really no safe amount of lead, the less the better.A recent sampling of 212 households in NSW, Australia found that 56% of the 212 households had detectable levels of lead in their water, and 8% exceeded allowable Australian standards for lead. Granted, elevated blood levels of lead have rarely been found to be linked to drinking water. But keep in mind, children consume more water relative to their body mass than adults, and children have developing brains.We needed a water filter anyway, as our water tastes awful. The water now tastes good, the chlorine taste is gone, and almost all of any lead will be gone. There is also a pretty impressive list of other chemicals this filter removes. The water does filter quite slowly, but the filter has been working great for a month. For the very rare people who have highly unsafe tap water but don't know it, lead is a suspected carcinogen, and this filter literally might save you from cancer. If you're going to have a filter anyway, the lead versions are well worth the few extra dollars simply for peace of mind. I was deeply disappointed to learn our local Brita Maxtra filters do very little for water safety or lead, but merely improve the taste. The Pur lead filters actually work out to about the same price, assuming you get free international shipping from Amazon USA. For any other Australians, you can get free international shipping for these Filters from Amazon USA with an Amazon Prime Australia Account for $59 annually. Pur water filters for pitchers do not appear to be available locally.

Hace justo lo que debe hacer. Lo recomiendo más que los filtros de Brita y excelente para los bebés.
