Thanks! I was having trouble removing the old filter - this was soooo helpful! Really appreciate how you go through everything step by step.

[@JeannieC-m6m]

Another one to say thank you very much. I had been trying for 10 minutes to get that filter off. You made it so easy

[@mdbrivera1]

Thanks for the video I am a visual learner so this help me alot thanks again 😁

[@susangray613]

Thanks for the video! I had never replaced the filter in my Pur - of course I tried to remove it from the top and it’s impossible. I was feeling pretty dumb. Yes, it may be simple but I didn’t even think of loosening it from the bottom 😳 I was envisioning throwing the whole pitcher out from frustration until your video rescued me

[@ABN6565]

I bought the middle version of that and had my water tested. It really does a great job. Lead wasn't picked up in the test but directly from my sink there was some minor lead particles readings, very minor. I drink Spring water and filter that but for making coffee I use this brand by Pur.

[@Tcostello105]

Just bought this and the slow filter process made me believe i was doing something wrong.. glad to see its just the entire actual design.. tried something other than a Brita not really impressed with it. But great video, thumbs up!

[@DirtydogMech]

Yeah definitely not a in a rush filter and need water desperately lol. I just fill it as I go everytime or if I know I need more water than just leave it out to remind to refill and refill again

[@nicolletteechevarria7091]

Awesome vid! I just got this as a Mother’s Day gift & needed a vid to better understand! Thank you!

[@elizabethmiotto3832]

Returning it - absolutely way too long the wait to filter. Thank you for showing how it works bc I thought I was doing this all wrong !

[@brandonwalter8532]

I returned my Brita for that reason too. Just got the 10 cup Pur and it's the same thing. I'm tracking down Brita's old design so I don't have to worry about this issue.

[@psfgtech]

That means it's working -

[@millycool8148]

🤣thank you!! I throw out the paper to tell me. Then God I saw your channel and it worked!

[@robotusa88]

Thanks, this is basic, but I threw out the box so I lost the replaement instructions. Plus some good tips.

[@1EdgarA]

I got a jar next to the sink. Every time I refill my water bottle or make coffee, i fill the jar and put it in the pitcher to filter. I don't like putting the pitcher in the sink because it sets the countertop.

[@normacazares8180]

Filter probably picked up loads of bacteria when you placed it in the sink. Kitchen sink is one of the dirtiest parts of the house.

[@karlbuscato3391]

thank you for making this video.

Thanks saved me from buying the wrong filters.

Awesome glad I could help

[@michaelconnors8801]

Hey man, great video. Gonna text this to my dad who's confused how to use it. His eyes can't read the small print in the manual. One thing, i noticed you put the filter right on the surface of the sink. Hope that sink is sterile. Can't tell you how much bacteria lives in our sinks from chicken juice, etc. Just a thought. And thanks again!

[@DirtydogMech]

Cool thanks. I'm glad it helped. Your right I didnt think about it. Luckily we frequently do wash the sink

Super helpful! Thx!

[@kun_fu_taco4775]

Did you ever filter bottled water or do you even notice a difference? Can you taste a difference if you fill it up with a refrigerators "filtered" water vs tap water ?

[@DirtydogMech]

That's interesting to try. I definitely use filtered water to make coffe and tea. I taste a huge difference. But never filtered bottled water and taste again

[@tontongasy]

Thanks so much! And how do you change the battery on the indicator?

[@DirtydogMech]

Your welcome You hold down the button for a few seconds. It should reset

[@tontongasy]

@@DirtydogMech thanks! Indeed it resets the indicator. But it looks like it's an integrated battery and can't be replaced.

[@timhardman4764]

Anyone know how long these filters REALLY "last" or how long they continue to filter out the things we don't want to drink with our water??. I can easily read the recommendation on the box label or look at the blinking light on the cover of the pitcher but what is the actual criteria for an end of life determination of the filter? I believe PUR tries to calculate a replacement interval based on volume of water that flows through the filter (40 gallons on my model: "premium 2 stage filter"). It is in the best financial interest of the filter mfg/seller to have you purchase new filters as frequently as they can reasonably sell them to you. In theory, a filter remains functional until it gets clogged up to the point where the out flow rate of the filtered liquid no longer keeps up with the demand rate needed. I suppose it can be further limited if the filter is also adding something "good" to the water that flows out. I'm not aware of anything being added to the water by the these filters so flow rate required seems to be the only factor that would determine when the filter needs to be replaced. When I fill my water pitcher and put it in the fridge, I don't generally go back to it for an hour or more. But even with a filter that has filtered much more than 40 gallons, the flow rate is such that all the water has passed through the filter within 5 minutes. So is useful life of the filter only determined by how quickly YOU need the water to flow through it? If it filters the water in an hour then I am ok with it and it is still useful for me. Or are there other factors of health and safety and taste that wear out with time or volume of water passed through? The water coming in to my house is drinkable as it is already with no sediments or undesirable taste/smell. I only filter it for drinking. I drink a lot of water and my filters last (continuing flowing at an acceptable rate) for a long time. I've never thrown one in the trash due to low flow rate. I've just disposed of them because I know I've gone 10 times longer than the mfg recommendation. Anybody with some real science background have an opinion on this?

[@anjellakazarova8628]

Filters up to 40 Gal./640 8 oz. cups per filter, lasts up to 2 months

[@timhardman4764]

@@anjellakazarova8628 I typically use them for more than 4 or 5 months filtering 1/2 Gallon per day, 15 Gallons/mo., 60 -75 gallons after 4 - 5 months. The filter is still working fine after this amount of time. As long as I am comfortable with the flow rate of the filter is it still safe to continue using it for as long as I want?

It does take a little bit of if time. I just filled the prefilter part took about 5 to 10 minutes if that. I usually refill whenever I pour a cup just to stay ahead of waiting for it to filter later. You might want to install a still faucet filter if you need alot more water filtered on demand
