Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 2-Stage Vertical White Faucet Mount FM-3333B
Customer Review: Housing Cracks Quickly
Summary: 2 Stars
We are only on our second filter in the until and already the housing has several cracks. One next to the replacement indicator window (leaking), another where the unit mounts to the faucet. This unit is so easy compared to some Brits units (really, it is), but having to replace the unit once a year is ridiculous. We'll be getting another Brita.Customer Review: How to work around mean old P&G and enjoy your great filter

PUR Water Filter Review \ Hack
Once, long ago, PUR was a great company with great water filtering technology. I still love their filters! Unfortunately, a big bad company named Proctor and Gamble bought them and messed them over in favor of customer abuse. This was accomplished using two methods. The first method is called 'planned obsolescence' whereby their faucet mount apparatus leak and die briefly after the end of the warranty period. (It didn't used to be that way in the good old days). The second method is called 'timed death' whereby their apparatus lock up their enclosed filters at a preset volume of filtered water, whether the filter is actually used up or not.
Planned obsolescence can be overcome by calling up Proctor and Gamble BEFORE your warranty runs out, and letting them know that your PUR apparatus is squirting water all over your kitchen. Ask them to send you a replacement or a replacement certificate. If need be, call repeatedly asking to speak to the President of P&G, never taking 'no' for an answer. Then take your certificate and get another PUR apparatus. This will provide you with a lifetime for the apparatus more representative of the lifetime of original PUR apparatus. You've cheated no one. P&G's cheat on you has been overcome.
The timed death lockout of your filter is extremely easy to overcome. Pull out the filter from the apparatus. This resets the nasty timing device to zero again. Put your filter back in. TADA! You're done. Your filter will work as before. Note, however, that PUR filters do eventually get clogged with stuff. You'll know when to change it.
I hope that helps everyone restore goodness to the universe. I still love PUR filters better than any other brand and wouldn't be without them. It's P&G's customer abuse that's not worth liking. Shame on you P&G.
Customer Review: I will never buy PUR again!
Summary: 1 Stars
If we had something below 1 star I would give that rating to PUR on-tap filter. I bought PUR 6 months back and now I am very disappointed with it.
Why? 3 reasons...
1. It leaks at the mount point in both situations whether you want tap water or filter water.
2. It costs more than what its worth
3. The mounting knob if over tighened cannot be easily opened as it is very inconvinient to push and hold it for a good grip to open it back.
I would say this is a waste of money. Will never recommend it to anyone. I am looking at Brita now.
Customer Review: If you use an adapter....
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased both the horizontal and the vertical, after the horizontal fell off..still have both of them. What a crock, I hope they take them back. Bought locally, fortunately. After the filter gets heavy with water it just falls off in the sink when you go to turn it on. When you use the adapter it's suppose to just click into place and it does click but it will..., grrrrr, fall off, my experience anyway.Customer Review: Junk - two big leaks, one on front, one on back
Summary: 1 Stars
Mine also broke after about 3 months. I am trying to see if the manufacturer will do anything, but have not been able to reach anyone.
