Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 2-Stage Vertical White Faucet Mount FM-3333B
Customer Review: Better than other filters
Summary: 5 Stars
Compared to BRITA tap filter this filter performs better in the sense that the water flow through this filter is faster whether you engage or disengage filter.
Beware of those new filter designs which protrude to much to the side, as all that extra conduits slows down water flow. The water flow is slow as it is, I am surprised BRITA (or even the fancy model of PUR- though I haven't tried that) didn't notice that.
Customer Review: Broke after 3 months, filters last just a few weeks
Summary: 1 Stars
Our house has hard water, so we purchased the PUR Plus Faucet Filtration System in hopes of making our water taste better. It succeeded in that, and that alone.
The filter goes bad FAST. We bought our first new filter after about 10 weeks of use (we're just 2 people and we're rarely home).
About a week after our new filter was in place, the unit developed a leak from the indicator window. This wasn't so bad.
Then came the spraying! A near-inch long crack appeared on the front, and it sprays water in a horizontal column at the user!
Other negatives:
*As the filter reaches the end of its lifespan, water comes out of the unit slower.. and sloooweer.
*The filter completely stops working when the filter is considered "done" by the unit. I found this most ridiculous of all: it just STOPS letting you use it when it decides the filter's no good! Who says the filter is no good? An internal mechanism that knows nothing about the quality of the water going through it? This is obviously a ploy to sell more filters!
Avoid this water filter!
Customer Review: Can't handle the pressure.
Summary: 1 Stars
The housing is terrible. Cracked by month 1. Gushing by month 2. The only good thing is that it still works as long as I barely turn on the water pressure. Our water pressure isn't even that high at full blast, but it was enough to crack it. If you buy this, do not turn up the pressure all the way when using it. Actually, just don't buy this junk.Customer Review: Cheap
Summary: 2 Stars
I have yet to replace a filter in one of these. The outer shell over the filter cracked on the last two units I bought; probably due to the water pressure as it is forced through the filter.Customer Review: Cheap Plastic will Crack Quickly!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned two of these units in the last two years. The first one was the more expensive 'chrome' unit, which is identical to the white one but comes with one 3 stage filter instead of one 2 stage filter. Both filters fit in both units, so its really disingenuous that they advertise the chrome unit as somehow different or better.
The first (chrome) unit I had lasted about ten months, at which point it developed a leak in the see through indicator and would spray you with water when you used it.
We moved, so I left the old unit behind and bought a new unit (the white one) in July. Now, only four months later, it has developed three seperate cracks, this time in the white casing. I find it unbelievable that Pur did not use stronger plastic. Now we are left with a box of filters we bought expecting to use, and a broken water filter. I have mixed feelings whether to buy another Pur unit or just throw the filters away and start with a new brand. Horrible product.
