Pur FM9100 Faucet Mount Filter  Product Reviews

"This is one of the worst products I have ever purchased! It worked good for a couple of months and started leaking all over the place. Tried changing to a new filter but this did no good. Don't waste your money! Terrible product!!!!!!!!1"

"This filter has made a big difference in the taste of my tap water (and it wasn't that bad to begin with). I definitely noticed that there was no more metallic taste. I use the water in my coffee maker and the coffee tastes a lot better. I have had this item about a month and did not experience any of the leaking problems that others have mentioned. It was easy to install and I used teflon tape when installing as suggested by one of the other commentators and it works fine. I used to buy the gallon jugs of spring water to make coffee but i think that the water that comes from this filter tastes better. i would defnitely recommend this product."

"This is a really good water filter but reading many of the comments I have some opinions to them. Leakage issues: Alright this is a no brainer, the attachment to your faucet, if your hand tightening when you install it, its going to get loose. turning the whole filter while its on the faucet left or right loosens it. Solution: attach it with a wrench, or if your using the extension for the inner faucet tighten that area too. also wrap plumbers tape on threads that are on your fixture. it should solve the problem. also don't over tighten. Price: People say that its expensive, they are priced well all around stores, I got one for 15 at target, and they sell one at costco with 2 filters for less than the price of a single unit online with only 1 filter. also a brita single stage filter with container is around 25 dollars and takes up a lot of space in the fridge. you can just get nalgene bottles and bottle it in your fridge from the tap. Compared to other filters, the 3 stage is the best price vs. cleaning quality. there are other units that are pricier like 5 stage or reverse osmosis, but at that end of the scale it is unnoticeable in difference esp. if you live in the USA. Filter speed: filters are supposed to last any where from from 2-3 months. if your water is dirty (it might come from the pipes) it will obviously wear out sooner. so what if you have to change it every month or 2, is your health worth it? over all its still cheaper than bottled water and much less of an impact on the environment using it. (plastic waste and cost of transportation and packaging) If your water speed is really slow or barley a trickle its time to change the filter. the filtering process does take some time but it shouldn't be that slow. Other problems: it does add on some bulk onto your faucet and may block sink activities, cant really do much about that unless you have a faucet that moves. you shouldn't run hot water though it, it destroys the filter. try to avoid that."

"the water tends to dribble back towards back of purr system. there's no way to change the angle of the purr how it's mounted on my faucet. the water comes out of the system slow, so be prepared to wait alittle longer than normal for your glass to fill"
