I drank an average of 8 26.9 fl oz bottles of water/day for years and got TIRED of polluting the planet with plastic, carrying in the cases (they are heavy) and EXPENSIVE. Got the Pur pitcher at my grocery store and I love it. I like the taste better than the bottled water and now I got these 40 ounce heavy plastic water bottles which I fill 3/4 full and freeze (I use 3 of them continuously filling/freezing) I keep them tilted as they freeze so I can put water down into the bottle and as it melts I keep refilling it. I take one out of the freezer first thing in the morning and always have ICE COLD filtered water. Then I go to the dog park every day and take a 2nd frozen bottle and fill up the first one so i have a frozen one and a full bottle of water or almost full and keep refilling the frozen one...and I enjoy the hot summer florida weather so much better. Great video. I am going to get the faucet filter and do a double filter still using the pitcher. Cheers.

I'm in need of filtering my water. But so many choices out there and from my understanding anything reasonably priced can not do everything. Zero Water is excellent at removing solids and lead, but does not have the best tasting water and not the greatest at removing other containments. Brita and PUR are on par with one another and removes more types of contaminats, but less over all of any one type, with Brita having the better tasting water. Personally from my understanding you want a filter to take it's time to filter the water. The longer the better. Water that just comes out from the touch of the tap means, to me at least, it did not have time to filter properly. And a major reason I am looking into the water pitcher filters, as it does take time for the water to take it's course through the filter. Have you tried water filter pitchers?

Hello, hope you're doing well. If you take the filter back out and look inside there you'll see a little switch that you can push up and down with your finger sometimes that gets stuck and you can kind of just push it up and down a few times to see if it'll unstick and once it does maybe the light will work at that point. I guess the base has a sealed battery in it and what's that battery goes out then the light will stop working but I never really look at the light anyway what I do is once the water starts coming out really slow so slow that I get tired of waiting to fill up a glass then that's when I replace the filter. I think they say replace it after 3 months but I don't look at the light or the time I just replace it when it starts going real slow Hope that helps take care of my friend and be safe out there

You turn the water on and then on the water filter you flip the black lever, once you flip it on it stays on until you flip it off. Even if you turn the water off the water filter would stay on so when you turn the water back on the water would come out the water filter. Think of it like a light switch.

I just want to make sure because I intended to use this water for cooking before knowing it can only be 200 gallons. 2. Do I have to buy a new one after 200 gallons? 3. How can we know if it hits that 200 gallons? Thank you 😊
@JohnDaniels4 жыл бұрын
Those are great questions. I have been drinking for years and still healthy as a horse. It says every 2 to 3 months. When I lived in the country the water had of sand and the filters would only last a month or 2 until the stream was very slow and would take 5 minutes to fill up a cup. After moving to the city the filters would last a year without slowing down. Depending on the hardness of your water, faucet mount filters should be changed every 100 gallons or about every 3 months, whichever comes first. If your unit features an LED indicator light, it will turn from green to yellow or red when the filter needs to be replaced. The light will flash only when in use. Green indicates the filter is working. Yellow indicates the filter will need to be replaced soon, while a red light means the filter needs to be replaced immediately. Hope this helps. When I was a kid I drang straight out of the faucet with no filters :)

I think somebody else commented on here cuz they had a problem similar to this with a flow was real low. One way you can test it is just leave the filter out and then turn on the water and then turn on the knob for the filtered water and see if it comes out fast then if it's still coming out slow then you know it's not the filter it's something with the unit itself or how it's installed.

It says there may be air stuck in the filter, so submerge it in a big cup of water and let it sit for 15 mins. Afterwards, while keeping it upright, gently tap on the side of the sink as if you were trying to get air bubbles out, then (still keeping it upright) run under the faucet for 15-20 seconds, then put it back in the housing and try again to see what happens... Gonna do that as soon as I get back home... Thank you for your input! And video!

However mine drips so slowly that you can go start a project while waiting for a glass of water to fill up as it seriously drips very slowly. It’s not leaking. I tried the provided adapters and chose The one that allows for no leaking. Comes on and off easily. The water tastes great if you have the time to wait for it.

Hi Gail, sorry to hear about the unit only dripping. Normally when they are at the end of their hard working little lives they start dripping. Off the top of my head I would think it is a bad filter.

Hi Eliza,. Hope you're doing good, below is a snippet from the pure website I hope it helps 😉 "The filter change light contains a non-replaceable battery.

So basically it's saying what's that light goes out then it doesn't ever work again you'd have to buy another pure water filter unit. I don't ever use a lot anyway how I do it is I just wait until the water starts running out really slow once it gets so slow that's taking too much time to fill up a glass then I'll replace the filter but they say that you should replace it every 3 months or a certain amount of gallons. But I've been doing it my own way for many years and haven't had any problems.
