Pitcher Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice filter design.When the pitcher is half empty, fill it from the tap.This way you always have at least 1 quart of filtered water ready.You can still pour from the filtered water at the bottom, as the top half with the tap water trickles through the filter.
The pitcher must be used.The filter cannot dry out, nor can the water be left to sit for more than "3-4 days" without replacement.
I like this filter, but I also need to get a water filter that fits directly on my faucet, because there are too many occasions where it is inconvenient to get and use the pitcher from the refrigerator.
Knowing when to replace the filter and where to get it from are problems.They suggest replacing it every 160 quarts (80 pitchers); or two months ...

PUR Ultimate Faucet Mount Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'd give this 3 1/2 stars if I could.
When you first attach the PUR filter, it works beautifully. Water comes out fast, and comes out clean. But fairly soon, and well before the filter is supposedly used up, the filter cuts down on the flow as it gets more and more clogged. After a while it can take 30 seconds to fill up a glass of water. Ours also has a leakage problem that is exacerbated the more clogged the filter is (the leak comes from the plastic covering that tells you how used up the filter is)...Don't know if ours is defective or if this is typical.
We have since bought a PUR pitcher filtration system, and that seems to be more convenient to use because you don't have to sit there like a ... waiting for your glass to fill up.
PUR is superior to BRITA filters, by the way, because they also filter giardia and cryptosporidium, two bacteria that can cause intestinal illnesses. This is especially important if you live in areas with iffy water systems (i.e. St. Petersburg, Russia, which is full of giardia/Mexico) or if you have a weak immune system.
The PUR filters work out to about 25 cents per gallon of filtered water. It costs more to filter dirtier water and less to filter cleaner water.
When you finally throw out the used filter, try cracking it open and having a look at all the nasty gunk that you didn't put into your body. It's definitely worth the price, don't you think?

Clear2O Premium Water Filtration Pitcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't buy this through Amazon but on impulse at Target. For 10 years I've used a Pur pitcher for my drinking water. Within the last 2 years I've noticed a major change in the quality of the filters. In less than half the usual usage time, they would develop what my wife calls "slow filter." This means that you fill the pitcher and it can take an hour or more to filter through. The first couple I wrote off as defective, then I complained to Pur and got some free filters, but it just keeps happening. These filters are too expensive to die prematurely.

So I tried the Clear20. At first I was put off by the complexity of the set-up, but assuming your faucet is standard and not fancy it just requires replacing the aerator with the Clear20 aerator that is compatible with their filling hose.

The aerator is something that stays on your faucet all the time. When you want to fill the pitcher, you put it in the sink, flip the hose up from the handle (it stays attached there) and click it onto the nipple. Then you fill the pitcher. It takes something like 60 seconds.

Here's the thing that may not be clear to you: the Clear20 uses the power of the tap to push the water through the filter at high speed. When you're done filling the pitcher, you have a full pitcher of water ready to drink. If you've ever waited for Pur and Brita to drip though, you will REALLY appreciate this feature. Let me repeat: the pitcher fills in about 60 seconds and the water is instantly filtered.

Basically what they've done is to put a faucet-mount filter into a pitcher. It was a genius move and I love it.

The other innovation/difference with the Clear20 pitcher is that the filter is rated for 50 gallons, not a vague time period. There is an indicator on top of the pitcher. When you've gone through 40 gallons it turns yellow; you have 10 gallons remaining in the yellow period, then you have to replace the filter. They're a little more expensive than the Pur filters but they are rated for 10 gallons more. Also, you can easily buy them online andClear20 even has a filter subscription club so you don't have to think about it.

Assuming these filters don't develop "slow filter" like Pur, they're going to be awesome.

Procter & Gamble 70322 "Pur" 2-stage Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've been using the PUR DS-1800Z 2-Stage Water Dispenser for more than 2 years now and, in my view, it's the most convenient and effective water filtration system. If the dispenser is what makes the package convenient, it's the filter that makes it effective.

As far as I can tell, the 40-gallon replacement suggestion is way too conservative. We found that the water as as odor-free and fresh-tasting after 3 months of use as it did after one month. Overall, we are very happy with the quality of water and the filter's life. I believe that we replace filters after about 3 months.

These filters are:

- inexpensive
- effective
- easy to replace

Some may not like the fact that there is no indicator showing when it's time to replace the filter.

By the way, I must say "thank you Amazon" for helping me always pick the right consumables for the items I buy from Amazon. All it takes is to go back to the listing for the Two-Stage dispenser and Amazon immediately shows me exactly which filter I am going to need. Life is a little less complicated this way.

P.S. - I'd go with the 'economy' 3-pack solutions to save a little.

Brita Disposable Faucet Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This device works as advertised and was very easy to hook up.It comes with a couple of different faucet adapters so whether the threads of your current faucet are inside or outside, there should be an adapter to handle it.The green light to indicate that the filter is still good is especially nice.My only complaint is that the flow if decreased by about 60-70% when using the filter so it takes a while to fill up anything larger than a drinking glass.Other than that, great product.

Product Description:
Combining activated carbon, this one-stage replacement microfilter for the easy-to-use Pur water pitcher reduces chlorine, sediment, bad taste, and odor from water, and includes an ion-exchange resin that helps eliminate lead and copper. In addition, the filter reduces pesticides (lindane, atrazine, and 2,4-D) and chemicals that are linked to increased cancer risk (benzene, TTHMs, and toxaphene). While Pur filters rid water of many chemicals, coloration, and bad flavors, they do not soften water or remove fluoride. The filter measures approximately 2-1/4 by 2-1/4 by 4-1/2 inches and should be changed every 40 gallons (approximately one to two months) for best results.

Brita 42645 Aquaview On Tap Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this filter at my local BJs warehouse store three weeks ago and installed it that same day. My wife and I have been big consumers of Poland Spring bottled water and decided to try this product to cut down on costs and to cut down on usage of plastic, throw-away bottles.

I wasn't too sure I would like the water produced by this filter, but after three weeks of repeated use, I can vouch for the taste and the smell: both good. There is no characteristic "tap water" smell and you can't tell the difference from Poland Spring. Plus, it's very easy to install (comes with a variety of washers in case it does not fit straight off on your faucet).

It comes with two filters (good for about four or five months of use by an average family). You can get replacement filters easily at different stores (like BJs, Walmart, etc.).

Even if you currently drink water straight from the faucet, this product would be worthwhile for you to buy, for who wants to drink the lead and the chlorine that are present in most drinking water that is piped into homes in America? And if, like us, you are or were bottled water consumers, you will see no difference in taste AND see the savings mount up!

OCTOBER 8, 2005

After using this product for many months now, I can state I still think this is an excellent buy. We have not had to change the filter even once - maybe Jersey City water is not that terrible compared to other places in America. We did have to change the battery once, which I thought a little surprising.

But after reading the negative reviews, I have to wonder: we have had ZERO problems with hot water and drips, unlike what a couple of other reviewers have suggested. Definitely highly recommended.

Crystal Quest Large Capacity Ultimate Pitcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The filter does a great job of filtering out the impurities, and makes the water taste noticeably better, but the design of the pitcher itself could be much better.The pouring spout is very small, and the flip top sometimes comes loose when you're pouring.Also, the shape of the pitcher itself makes it feel unwieldy and unbalanced when you're pouring from a full pitcher.

The design of the Brita pitcher is much better--unfortunately, Brita filters do not filter out nearly as much stuff as Crystal Quest, which is why I chose to switch to Crystal Quest.If CQ would redesign their pitcher to be more "user friendly" it would be a terrific product.

CrystalQuest Faucet Water Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Assuming that the filter cartridge works as advertised, I rate this a superior product (with caveats).

I have used other name brand faucet filters such as Culligan and PUR, and they were okay, but this one seems to have a more sturdy build, especially for the price. In addition, the flow rate is much better. With the others, it took over two minutes to fill a one-gallon jug; with this, about 35 seconds.

It also pivots out of the way with ease, whereas the others have an annoying friction, probably due to o-ring seals.

Yet, the CrystalQuest doesn't leak (after four months' use). It remains to be seen whether or not it will develop leaks; the others did after about a year of use. I suspect this one is less susceptible to leaks, due to its flow rate, which indicates much less back pressure.

Caveats: although the filter is highly rated, it does seem I get more of a chlorine taste than I did with my previous buys. And also, when I bought it, the filter cartridges were rated for a year/2000 gallons (much better than the others, typically 3 months/200 gallons), yet my warranty says void if the cartridge is used for more than six months.

Huh? Shouldn't the system be warranted for as long as the cartridge?

Anyway, for the price, I rate it better than the others I have used, and the price is right. The replacement cartridges are also more reasonably- priced than the bigger name brands.

The station starter kit sells for under $40 elsewhere.Guess what?So does the 4 pack of replacement filters!Hint: Sam's Club (and others)
