Pur Water Filters Basics
Pur water filters are available in a variety of product types which include an undersink and countertop model, a faucet mounted one, one for your refrigerator as well as a portable one and the common drinking water pitcher. Installation is easy enough to do yourself and many have a safety monitor that alerts you when the filter needs changing. As with all water filters the Pur ones are designed to reduce or eliminate a number of contaminants such as lead and mercury, that are often found in unfiltered water. How long they last depends upon your household’s water usage but typically a pitcher cartridge will last about 3 months and a faucet mounted one can filter about one hundred gallons before needing to be changed.
