Works great... for a few months
I got one of these as my unfiltered water is totally undrinkable. None of the many washers it came with fitted my sink so I bought one that would (then noticed that if you call them they will sort that for you). It installed no problems after that. The water tastes so much better and comes out at a decent rate. I really like the way you twist it to switch between filtered and unfiltered, very simple and unbreakable.
However, after less than 3 months I noticed a crack in the back of the housing of the fiter near the top. It gradually got bigger, then another one developed and they both started leaking. Now I get 2 big arcs of water coming out the side every time I use the filter. The connector with the tap leaks a bit too but I think that is just that it has worked loose. I would tighten it but what's the point as it's leaking more elsewhere?! I called PUR to complain and they were really nice, sent me a voucher for a replacement. Think I am going to try a chrome model, fingers crossed that won't crack as easily...

super-satisfied
i wanted to stop using bottled water containers and i felt that this filtration system might be the way to go. i have not been disappointed. the water coming thru the filter is fresh and tastes great. i've compared the filtered water with non-filtered taps in my house and you can really tell the difference.

Broke after 3 months, filters last just a few weeks
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!
