Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount Chrome FM-3700B
Customer Review: Consistent Quality Water
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this type of PUR filter for about 3 years and would not think of going without one. The first two would go to a trickle within a few months. Apparently, that was due to the quality of the water and not the filter. The water contained a lot of sediment. Once the water main was repaired, each filter since has gone all the way to red, giving consistent tasting water from start to finish.
Whatever PUR is doing I hope they keep doing it. The taste of the water is excellent. I'll taste water from a bathroom tap and water from the PUR filter in the kitchen, and the taste is like night and day. Since using this type of PUR filter, I choose to drink water more times than not.

Summary: 5 Stars
We have always purchased bottles of water at the Grocer for approx $2.50/gallon at the cheapest (buying in 24 oz bottles.) If you figure the Pure filter at purchase, the price is $0.30/gal. Then the price goes down with the purchase of replacement filters to $0.20/gal or less depending on the quantity purchased at one time (as low as $0.10/gal.) So we bought the 3-stage filter for the faucet and now fill our water bottles and store them in the fridge. We seldom see bargains like this. I trust PUR and the water tastes GREAT! We drink a lot of water. This has DEFINITELY saved us money.Customer Review: Cracked in 4months
Summary: 1 Stars
It developed a crack at the indicator after 4 months. Poor design. Never buy again.Customer Review: Cracked in less than a year
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought my pur Filter some 3 or so years ago at a local retailer.
Within a year a crack developed at the filter indicator window.
Once it started leaking I epoxied it after sanding the area to
get the glue to stick better. That worked okay for about another
six months when the cracks became longer.
I'd rate it a 4 for filter effectiveness as that works.
However it is obvious PUR is still selling this defective
garbage to unsuspecting public. FOr that, it deserves a 1 at best.
Culligan looks good. Yeah, it isn't 'at faucet' however the cartridges
are sure a lot less expensive and I'm going to gamble it wont' just crack due
to piss poor product design and production quality.
Customer Review: Cracks and leaking
Summary: 2 Stars
The Pur water filter system is very easy to install, and the filters themselves do a fine job. The filtered water definitely tastes better than straight from the tap. In December 2007 I installed one system in my family house and one in a small apartment I keep close to my job. By June 2008 the one in my family house began to leak and spray water at the faucet connection, and could not be repaired. By August 2008 the one in my apartment (which was used far, far less than the other one) had developed three cracks in the housing, causing water to spray in three directions. Judging by the other reviews, this is not unusual.
Every product has some built-in obsolescence, I guess, but this is just shoddy. Pur make great water filters. It would just be nice if they would make a quality filter system that won't fall apart after six months.
