Pure Tasting Water
The Pur Faucet Mount Water Filter System PFM400H, Chrome works great. I always purchase water at the store for better flavor. I no longer purchase water and waste my money at the store on water. The PUR Faucet Mount Water System makes my water taste good and I am confident it is Pure. I went out and purchased one for my mom and dad. I highly recommend this item to everyone who wants to save money on water.

Walmart.com sent me a used product
I would assume I could trust Walmart to at least send me a new product when I buy from their website. I received a box unprofessionally taped up up with a tear in it. Since it's a water filter I wanted to make sure it was safe to use so I opened the filter casing. Water poured out all over the floor as soon as I opened it up. Walmart had actually sent me a used filter. When I looked at it in more detail it had scratches all over it. Customer service was nice enough to give me a refund - but I'll purchase this item somewhere else. I'll definitely be more careful in my purchases from Walmart.com in the future.

    Great easy to use water filter.
    Water states great and it was compatible with my standard faucet. Set up in five minutes and had all the right hardware for easy installation. Did I mention how great the water tastes??

    PUR Faucet Mount Water Filter System PFM400H, Chro
    Talk about easy!! I installed my PUR Faucet Mounted Water Filter System today and it took less than 7 minutes from box to fully installed and ready to use. The product instructions were extremely easy to follow and the manufacturer thought about everything, inscluding several washer converters to ensure it can be used on just about any kitchen sink. As for use, it's easy to move from filtered to tap water, though I will note that the filtered water side doesn't immediately stop when turn off as the filtered chamber still empties for a few seconds after water supply is turned off. The only real downfall for me is size, it's a bit bulky for my one bay sink. I think we will get used to it in time but for now it's a little invasive for a small space.

    very very good!!!!!
    I wish i had bought this PUR Faucet Mount Water Filter system earlier. It is very very good. We have well water and because of the mineral content in it the water looks like it has white particles in it. I had a tough time telling my guests that we had our water tested and it is ok to drink it as the white particles was only the mineral content. After using PUR the water comes out clear.It really works very well.Now I just place water in a jar and my guests have no problem drinking it. I would recommend this product as it really works.

    Great looking item
    I always wanted to buy the faucet filter because it seemed very convenient, but always used pitchers instead. I received this product for free for my honest review in return. I like the quality of the product overall, it's light weight, sleek, made of plastic that looks like stainless steel. I had trouble unscrewing my faucet aerator, but after it was finally removed, there're 3 adaptors that come in the package that could be used if needed, I was fine with my faucet as is. Now, the quality of the water at home - the filter makes a huge difference. I only drink tap water at home or fill up my water bottle to go, so the taste is very important to me. And the filtered water now tastes good! No chemical aftertaste, just pure fresh water. The filter is also a nice good looking addition to my kitchens sink (but it does take some space).

    Filtration - Great / Durability - ?
    We've used PUR filters for many years. We use a pitcher at home to produce water to fill reusable water bottles. While camping, we use it to cut down on some of "natural" taste and sedimentation that you find in campground well water. This faucet mounted system is based on the same technology that we have used all along. It's just packaged into a much more convenient to use faucet mounted model. The filter was very easy to install thanks to the adapters included in the kit. It even fit our bathroom faucet! The filter is easily replaceable with almost no effort. The only drawback to the filter setup is the material chosen for the housing. It seems to be made of simple molded ABS plastic. Just in the normal course of using the filter and washing dishes, you can see the plastic flex. And that is with adults using the filter and sink. I cannot imagine what will happen when the grand kids get hold of it. Overall, it works great and is easy to install. I fear however it might not be as durable as we had hoped for. We'd certainly recommend it, but advise that you treat it gently to ensure it will last a long time.

    great drinking water
    The PUR Faucet Mount Water Filter System PFM400H, Chrome, is so easy to install. You need no tools, just read the instructions and anyone can have pure clean water within five minutes. The reason it takes so long is that you need to let the water run for five minutes before your first use. After that it is always ready. It kooks very nice in my kitchen, just a bit more bulk in my sink, but well worth it. Love it. Your review

    So many uses!!
    After using this filter all week, it makes me wonder why I haven't gotten one before??!! We're now using this for so many things!!! We have hard mineral high water in Arizona..we buy reverse osmosis water for everything, including drinking water for our dogs, cat, and reptiles...that's how bad it is! Even when we boil water for pasta, we use bottled water! For drinking, I will still use that, but for all the other above mentioned, we can now use the water from the Pur faucet purifier! We were bathing our bearded dragon in a large tuperware with our tap water and he was drinking it, which probably wasn't good for him! Now we use the purified water..got to be better! All around great choice!! Thx!!

    Beautiful chrome finish
    I've only had this water filtration system for about 3 days and so far, so good. It was easy to install in under 5 minutes and came with three sizes of additional internal threads. Originally the indicator light was yellow when I first turned it on. A quick google search told me to rinse the filter. I removed the filter, rinsed it for about 15- 20 seconds, reinstalled and then the light was green. There are two options with this filter. First, your regular tap water will run through it, and the second is a smaller stream of the PUR filtered water. The PUR stream certainly tastes better and is clearer, but it is a small stream so it will take longer for the water to be filtered. This is not ideal if you are in a hurry or need to fill a big pot of water. I did not see any leaks from the seams or the internal thread. The one touch handle did not leak when I moved it back and forth about 20 times while the water was running from tap to PUR water. The end cap where the filter goes also did not have any leaks. The overall appearance is very flattering in the chrome finish however, it does get smudges very easily. After installation was complete, the smudges came off easily with a dry cloth.

    Clean Drinking Water
    I live in a mountainous rural area, relatively far from any dense population. Where I live, the water is about as pure as it can be prior to treatment by the water company. Even under these circumstances, I flat out refuse to drink unfiltered tap water and drinking bottled water at home seems like a waste of money. So a simple, affordable and easy to maintain system, such as this PUR Max-ion filter system, is a necessity for me. I have been using Pur filter systems for a long time, since before my daughter was born in 2005. It was the birth of my daughter, and the thought of mixing her formula with nasty, tainted water that motivated me to start using the Pur filter systems. At one point I was living in a home that used well water, which isn't as bad as it sounds, and it's free. In order to make the well water safe for consumption, we had an in ground filtration system and a UV light filter on the pipes coming into the house. I still didn't trust it, and used a Pur filter system on my faucet for drinking water. The Pur Max-ion is the most advanced system I've owned to date. The filtration specs for the filters are pretty impressive. If you take a look at the manual that comes in the box, the list contains more than 75 filtered substances. None of which is typically on my mind when I'm drinking tap water. Some of them are particularly nasty, lead, mercury, asbestos and chlorine to name a few. The level of filtration for these deadly substances is a minimum of 96% for mercury and at least 99% for the rest of them. Other filtered substances, that are typically less well known, are filtered at a minimum of 93%. Many of these substances are well known to cause birth defects. It's a terrible thought, that simply drinking the water you need to live could contribute to your baby being born with horrible defects. So for me, it's a no brainer. The Pur Max-ion system is reasonably priced. The replacement filters, which is listed as part number RF-9999, are also very reasonably priced. Especially if you buy in bulk. If you buy a six pack of filters on Wal Marts website, the cost is cut in half when compared to a single filter. For the average person, installation is a breeze. You just unscrew your faucets adapter that holds the screen in it, and install one of the 3 options provided by Pur. They provide a metal adapter threaded internally and another that is externally threaded, which will fit most typical faucet sizes. There's a third adapter that is plastic, which appears to be a duplicate of one of the others. Out of curiosity, I took it to my sisters house and it fit on her faucet without the need for any adpaters. For me, however, I ran into a bit of a problem when installing the Pur system on my faucet. The way it's designed, you have a large plastic piece on top that you twist onto your faucet or one of the adapters they provide. The problem for me is, I have a faucet that is an unusual design. It simply wouldn't fit. So, what I had to do was take a rotary tool to it and shave down that plastic piece around the top edge so it would fit under my faucet. I added a pic showing what I did, and the location, so you can see why it was necessary. Another issue I had, which was also caused due to the fact that my faucet is an unusual design, is that I wasn't able to mount it parallel to my faucet, like you ordinarily see them. If I mounted it in that manner, it would literally spin freely and end up on its side. So I had to mount it horizontally, with the barrel shaped part of the Pur system in front, instead of alongside my faucet. That way it will hold steady. I also added a pic of how I have mine oriented. The plastic piece I took the rotary tool to is a little unsightly, I'm planning to cover it up with some kind of decoration that will mask what I did to it. A small price to pay for clean drinking water. The Pur Max-ion filter system provides clean, and good tasting drinking water. The way the filter works is, the water runs through a collection of natural minerals, which give the water a natural and crisp taste, similar to mountain spring water. Where I live, I can get mountain spring water within a 15 minute ride from my house, so I am very familiar with the taste of it. When I was a kid, that was typically the way most people in my area got clean drinking water. The Max-ion filter system has a filter life indicator light on the front of the system. It indicates the filters' status with a series of colors. Green is good, yellow indicates the filter is nearing end of life and red means change your filter. The manual indicates that you should change your filter after 100 gallons of filtered water or after 90 days. In my experience, if you don't use the system frequently, you should run some water through it occasionally so stagnant water doesn't sit in it for too long. They also mention in the manual, not to run hot water through the filter, as it can damage the filters capabilities. Pur can't exactly provide adapters for every conceivable faucet type. So the fact that there are going to be some faucets they won't fit on, out of the box, is to be expected. I don't imagine everyone is going to be comfortable doing what I did to mine to make it fit on their faucet. So have a look at the pics I added, and maybe you can use them to determine if this will be a good fit for you. Overall, I'm very pleased with the effectiveness of this filter system. The initial purchase price and cost of filter replacements is reasonable, maintenance is easy and the performance is excellent. I'm giving the Pur Max-ion filter system 4 stars. I can't, in good conscience, give it 5 stars, due to the issues I had with it. But, if I hadn't had those fitment issues, I would definitely give it 5 stars.

    Well Water Taste Transformed
    We were wondering if the PUR Faucet Water Filter may help our well water taste better or at least taste more to our liking. I like the design of this filter since you can have it right at the tap and choose the regular faucet for normal water usage and then just pull down a level for filtered drinking water. I was worried at first that the PUR filter would not work on our faucet since it has one of those large base ends that must have worked with an attachable dishwasher or something. The directions that came in the well packaged box were super easy to read, with pictures of how to put it together. In the box it comes with three different options for the most common faucets. Come to find out our faucet is internally threaded and two of the three options were for internally threaded faucets. I tried them and number two worked and threaded on with ease. Then I attached the PUR filter to the adaptor and it fit great and looks great. I was worried it would be heavy and bulky in the sink but I was happily surprised that it is sleek and not heavy at all. It took me all of two minutes to get the filter in and the unit on the facet and it was ready to use. I gave my husband a taste test and he could tell a big difference in the taste right away. Overall, it's what our water drinking family was looking for and they offer coupons in the box for our next purchase of new filters that it says need to be changed every 2-3 months.

    Great tasting water with Pur
    My family and I have been using Pur water products for years. We always have the faucet mount on the kitchen sink for easy access to filtered water for our coffee maker and other food related creations such as soup. This Pur Advanced Faucet Water Filter in silver matte easily mounts to our kitchen sink for fresh clean tasting water. The clean sensor monitor will turn from green to yellow or red when the filter needs to be replaced. The light will flash only when in use. It is certified to remove 99% lead and reduces 72 contaminates. I will continue to use Pur products as they are high quality and gives us the best filtration available.

    Oh, So Good!
    PUR Advanced Faucet Water Filter, PFM300V, Silver Matte - I RATE 5 STARS! My family and I have been drinking both tap and bottled water in my home for many years. I have been recently concerned in my old community that there is excessive lead and other contaminates in our water supply. When I chose this to review it was immediately a relief knowing finally my family and I will have a more affordable and safer way to drink cleaner water. The MAXION technology in this filter that is easy to unwrap , install and flush through to cleaner and filtered water right from your kitchen sink. It comes with a faucet adapter attached already and also includes three more adapters to assist in that easy installation. ONLY compatible with standard faucets. In four easy steps installing we were finally enjoying 99% lead free filtered water. Also certified to reduce 72 contaminates and substances. Removes 96% Mercury and 92% of certain Pesticides. There isn't any mess or frustration or stress to install or to use. No chlorine smell or taste. I won't have to worry about replacing my filter for three months or 100 gallons of use. With this advanced and awesome filter on the faucet, you just push the lever down for filtered water and raise up lever for regular unfiltered tap water. Very convenient and efficient. The CleanSensor Monitor light green for about ten flashes when water is being filtered and dispensing well. The yellow flashing light means you will have to change filter soon . The red light means it is time to replace your filter. I happily recommend this PUR Advanced Faucet Water Filter, PFM300V and I will gladly continue to use it!

    Water taste great!
    I love this PUR filter it looks great on my sink. I have the silver matte color and it matches good with my fawcet. The product comes with three adaptors to fit different sink types. My sink did not fit with any of those adapters so I called the company and they are sent out more adapters to try for free. I love that this has a light on it to show you when the filter needs replaced. That makes it very convenient. My husband loves using it to fill up our digs water bowls. We feel better know mowing they are getting healthier water.
