I just installed a new PUR water filter. Is it normal the the green light will blink like 3-5 limes and then stop? It doesnt say so in the manual that the green lights remains on everytime you use the filter. Is it normal that it blinks 3-5 times or it should stay on while the filter is on?
zach braff i believe his name is. the guy who plays JD from the show scrubs. is he the guy who does the voice for the PUR water filter commerical? to me it sounds like him.
I recently bought the Pur water Filter 7 cup pitcher and it says the light should be green, then change to yellow, and finally red when its time to replace. my question is… is it supposed to stay "lit" green until it turns yellow.. because the light was green when I first installed the filter and now its out. I’m not sure if its defective or not?? Should the light have remained on??
I have gone to two hardware stores and home depot but nothing will fit my Pur water filter. Usually there are adapters in the box that i buy but there were none with the last Pur water filter I purchased. The water filter is useless as I suspect that I need an adapter that is only made by Pur for the newest click on filter adapter.
I have PUR water filter installed on my faucet. The previous owners left me one but then one day it broke. A small crack developed and a tiny stream of water sprayed out of it, soaking me or my kitchen counter or floor, depending on where the faucet was aimed. So I bought another, then another, and then some more after that. They usually last for about one and a half filters before cracking. Then the cracks grow. I extended the life of one purifier with some hose clamps to force the cracks closed, until new cracks developed.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Am I doing something wrong when I install these things? Or when I change filters?
Is something in my water destroying the filters?
I don’t think my water is exceptionally hard. I live just outside of Boston. Last year we broke an giant water main and had to boil water for a week. Maybe that was caused by the same secret ingredient that corrodes the plastic housing of my water filters?
Bonus question: I pay about for each new water filter system. I read on the web that I should get about 40 gallons of water per filter, so if that’s true I’m still paying less than I would for bottled water, but the web site looked like it was planted by the PUR people. Any idea how many gallons you really get per filter?
i just got a pur water filter this one to be exact

Ok I know babies can’t have well water (which is what we have), so I have been using bottled water. But we just got a PUR water filter & I was wondering if that makes the well water safe for babies. My daughter is 10 months old so we won’t have to be mixing formula much longer, but I will still water down her juice for a while (if I don’t then she will get tummy aches) which I have been watering that down with bottled water as well. I would ask her doctor, but her next check up is not until 12 months (so I’m not going to make an appt just to ask them that lol). So is it safe to use the well water with the PUR water filter? (if I get alot of mixed answers I will just wait and keep using the bottled water just to be safe) Thanks!
Yeah, I figured I would get mixed responses lol I tried to google it and found nothing except websites selling water filtration systems lol.
Actually my pur filter does remove bacteria & nitrates, among other things
im having a real hard time with this, i just found out that brita is owned by glade and pur water filter system is owned by proctor and Gamble, so does anyone know if there are any water purification systems that are owned by cruelty free companies? and i would also like to know if there are any that are vegan, cause i found out that a lot of filter,s are made with animal bones
by the way, no sacrasem, i just want an answer from someone who does pracetice the cruelty free movement and how they get around this whole thing. however, even if your not vegan but still have a non sarcastic answer that whould be cool too. just dont be a dick
Is it? if so , explain why is it? (explain in easy words)
If it is bad, should I try Pur water filter or some water filter?
Because a lady told me that is worth over one thousand dollars i think she may be lying to get money off us i want to know the price if its right or should i just get a PUR water filter system instead.
How do I replace a PUR water filter? Actually, I recently moved in a new studio and found a pur water system left by the previous tenants. I didn’t knew what it was, so I opened it up and ran water so in order to take the filter out. By the time I did this, the little window was showing half red, so the filter had more life. But no! When I try so HARD to put it back:
1.The window stays empty and i think it’s malfunctioned
2.When I run water through the filter, it doesn’t barely come out from the hole
The filter actually doesn’t "click" in place too.
Are only brand new filters capable of being put in the thing, maybe? Once you take it out, it’s over? Or what? I really can’t get this to work!
Ok, I have this PUR water filter on my sink. When I pour a glass of water, it doesn’t taste right. Like, it has a sour-ish taste that goes on the side of your tounge. And regular water from the faucet taste way better to me
@Erika
Umm, I live in a nice townhouse in atlanta, im also 15, so chill with that crap ok?
and to the other answers, i dont think theres anything wrong with the water, i think its because the water is so purified, that it tastes funny.
My light on my Pur water filter has stopped working. How can I get it to turn back on?
I bought a sink attaching Pur Water Filter and when I got back to my college dorm I realized none of the included attachments fit my dorm sink. Is there anything I can do? Like a place I can order a special attachment that fits that particular sink? Any thoughts are welcome! Thanks =D
I am moving out tomorrow and I have a Pur water filter (stage 3). The cartridge inside it is almost finished (about 90% red). I do not want to throw it away because it is almost finished but I’m afraid that if I leave it inside it will grow mold. I am storing my stuff in a storage facility for several months. What is the best thing to do?
