Enjoy PURe Water in a Few Easy Steps
The PUR Two-Stage Flavor Options Pitcher features a space-saving design that easily fits in most refrigerator doors. The pitcher holds up to seven eight-ounce glasses of deliciously chilled water at a time. The superior quality of this filtration system allows you to filter up to 40 gallons (151 liters) of water per filter cartridge--enough to last a typical household one to two months.

To use, simply insert the filter, fill the pitcher with water, and set the filter life indicator located at the top of the pitcher. This indicator light alerts you when it's time to change the filter--green means it's working, yellow is your warning light, and at red you need to change the filter.

Children Love the Burst of Fresh Flavors
The innovative Two-Stage Flavor Options Pitcher allows you to give your water a boost of fruity flavor, which is a great way to get children to drink enough water. With five tasty fruit flavors to choose from--grape, strawberry, peach, lemon, and raspberry--your children will be more healthy and hydrated than ever.

The flavor cartridge of your choice fits easily into the pitcher lid. With the push of a button, flavor is added to your water glass, leaving the water in the pitcher unflavored. One push is enough to flavor one eight-ounce glass of water. The more you push, the more flavor you get! And you can change flavors as often as you wish. Each flavor cartridge provides up to 75 servings of flavor and contains no sugar, calories, or dyes.

Preserve Your Family's Health and the Environment
Convenient and easy to use, the pitcher's innovative two-stage filtration system is certified to remove twice as many contaminates as Brita water filtration systems. It removes 99.9% of harmful microbiological cysts, such as cryptosporidium and giardia, as well as other contaminates, such as lead, chloride, and arsenic. What's more, pharmaceutical residue that's often found in the water supplies of major metropolitan areas is reduced by 96%.

The smart filter system also leaves beneficial fluoride in the water. This means your water will not only be healthier, it will taste cleaner. PUR believes your water should be as clean, natural, and free of unwanted substances as possible. To this end, All PUR products are tested and certified by NSF International, an independent agency that administers a series of rigorous tests for water purification.

In addition, by investing in a PUR water filtration system, you'll be spending a tenth of what you would in one year of buying bottled water. This amounts to a comparable savings of $600 a year if you were to buy 16-ounce plastic water bottles. By bottling your own filtered water, you'll not only be saving money, you'll also be helping the environment by reducing plastic waste from discarded water bottles.

1.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to like this pitcher, but..., September 13, 2007
By 
Spinner's End (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: PUR CR-5000 Two-Stage Water Pitcher with Flavor Cartridge (Kitchen)
the cartridges do not last long enough for the price, even when they function properly. I am on my third cartridge. The first one worked well enough, but it only lasted a few days for my family of three. The second cartridge didn't work at all. The third cartridge dispenses about half of the time the button is pressed.

A few warnings:

---be prepared to push the flavor button several times to get any flavor at all
---the claim on the package that each cartridge can flavor up to 75 servings is absurdly optimistic
---the cartridge easily becomes dislodged from its resting place during use
---the pitcher must be refilled incessantly, as its filtered water compartment is quite small
---if you try to pour water while there is any water in the unfiltered reservoir, the lid will fall off

The good news is that the taste of the flavor additive is pretty nice, if you're accustomed to diet beverages.

This review is from: PUR CR-5000 Two-Stage Water Pitcher with Flavor Cartridge (Kitchen)
(I've only tried the pitcher, so this review has nothing to do with the faucet mount version.)

This is not a bad concept for a product. In fact, I think now that PUR have made the first step, perhaps other companies (and even PUR themselves) can start improving on it and making it better. However, this particular product is simply not there yet and I do not believe it is worth the full price.

Purified, filtered water is an essential thing in every household. I've had a Brita pitcher for a long time, the "Grand" model, and I've enjoyed it immensely. I still have it. However, when I saw the new PUR Flavor Options pitcher, I was intrigued. I've often wished there was an easy, healthy way to add flavor to water. Sure, there are powders and syrups, but this particular idea, that the flavor is an option right within the pitcher, ready to be dispensed at the push of a button, seemed pretty awesome to me. It just so happened that I had a gift card I could use to... Read more

This review is from: PUR CR-5000 Two-Stage Water Pitcher with Flavor Cartridge (Kitchen)
For the last few years I have been hooked on those flavored water beverages. I would buy them at my local bulk seller and would drink all of them down in about a week or two. Now, knowing that this was a pricey habit I tried to find another way to get flavored water on the cheap. I tried putting lime juice in my water, it was good but did not have a great taste that I was looking for, I also tried adding some of those sugar free syrups to my water but that effort was fruitless as well. When I was at home one evening I came across the Pur Flavor Pitcher and it all came together. This thing is great it was on sale at my local super market and picked one up for little green. The included flavor, raspberry, is really good, but my favorite is the peach flavor. What is great about this product is that you can adjust the amount of flavor your beverage has so if you feel like sipping a fresh raspberry you can, but I find that just one squirt is just fine. The water by itself is also quite... Read more

PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount Chrome FM-3700B

Amazon.com Product Description

From PUR, this Three-Stage Vertical Mount Faucet Water Filter features a chrome design and clicks onto any standard faucet--no tools required. Each filter is capable of cleansing up to 100 gallons of water (lasting two to three months, on average). The filter's purification system keeps sediment, chlorine, lead, trace pharmaceuticals, microbial cysts, and other pollutants from reaching your drinking glass. In the final stage, water is filtered over natural minerals for a crisp taste. The filter swivels 360 degrees and has a convenient built-in replacement indicator.

Three-Stage Filtration Improves Taste and Odor
The filter's first stage traps sediment, like dirt, rust, and sand, while the second stage greatly reduces contaminants, pollutants, trace pharmaceuticals, and illness-inducing bacteria. In the final stage, water is filtered over natural minerals to give it a more refreshing taste. The result is water that looks, tastes, and smells cleaner.

Each PUR filter provides up to 100 gallons of clean water, and will typically last for two to three months.

Activated Carbon Microfilter Removes Contaminants
The second stage of filtration employs an activated carbon microfilter that removes most of the harmful contaminants commonly found in both municipal water sources and well water.

This filter removes 98 percent of chlorination by-products while also reducing the taste and odor caused by chlorine. The filter also removes 99 percent of heavy metals, like lead; industrial pollutants, like asbestos; trace pharmaceuticals, like antibiotics and antidepressants; and microbial cysts, like giardia and cryptosporidium.

User-Friendly Features and One-Click Installation
The filter's one-click installation requires no tools; it snaps onto your existing faucet (filter is not compatible with pull-out faucets). Removing a filter is just as easy--simply push a button. The filter swivels 360 degrees to give you better access to your entire sink.

A simple switch activates the filter and turns it off. For added convenience, this filter features a built-in electronic filter life indicator. The indicator flashes green, yellow, or red with use, so you'll know when it's time to update your filter.

What's in the Box
Faucet water filter and one filter replacement.

2.0 out of 5 stars Developed a crack, August 20, 2007
By 
J. Hunter (Arizona) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been a previous owner of a faucet mount PUR filter that lasted for over 4 years before it finally broke. I purchased this particular model thinking that it would also last, but I was disappointed. A couple of months later, it deveolped a hairline crack just below the filter indicator. I thought I just might have accidentally hit the housing, so I purchased the same model again. Well, this same crack appeared, and now I have contacted P&G. I am seriously thinking of purchasing a different brand.

We redesigned the Faucet Mount units and they now have quite a few upgrades and are much easier to install, remove and replace the filter. The newer ONE CLICK version has been on the market since July 2010 and is getting great feedback.
If any has questions try us on Facbeook/Pur drop us an e-mail at purstaff@yahoo.com or call our helpline at 1-800-PUR-LINE.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good at first but breaks after a year., September 7, 2008
By 
This review is from: PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount Chrome FM-3700B (Tools & Home Improvement)
So this is my second PUR water filter mount. Both were this same model. Right out of the package they work great. It's not entirely necessary as our water is already clean out of the faucet, but it does remove any particulates that may reside in the distribution piping and home piping, as well as removing the chlorine residual that is in most tap water. After about a year, coincidentally just as the one year warranty expires, the valve that bridges between the faucet and the filter begins to degrade. Now even when the filter is turned off, water still flows through the valve and through the filter thereby dramatically decreasing the lifespan of the filter since water is always flowing through it. This is a POOR engineering design that should have been addressed by this company. This is the reason why I'm giving it one star. I figured my first filter was just a fluke, but this problem was confirmed yet again on my second filter.

My recommendation:
1) Go for... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Relatively inexpensive way to filter water, May 12, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount Chrome FM-3700B (Tools & Home Improvement)
I was pleasantly surpised to see just how easily this filter installed on my kitchen faucet. Although I had great tasting water before its installation, I feel better now knowing that the water is "cleaner" than before. There are only two drawbacks that I see, namely, the filter often gets in the way when filling a pot for on the stove, and the replacement filters are not cheap---they each cost about as much as HALF the price of the original filter system. I have had my filter system for a bit more than three months, and the replacement indicator just became visible...time to spend money for a new filter cartridge!
