Pur Water PUR FM8100 - Faucet Mounted Water Filter - It's the Ultimate in water filtration! Reduces lead, mercury, asbestos, MTBE and TTHMs to provide clean, healthy, great-TASting water for you and your family.
Eliminate harmful chemicals and unseemly odors and flavors from tap water with this faucet-mounted, vertical filtration system from Pur. The new Ultimate filtration line improves on Pur Advantage models, eliminating additional contaminants such as cadmium. It also reduces cryptosporidium, giardia, lead, mercury, asbestos, copper, zinc, and sediment 96 to 99.99 percent, plus lowers chlorine levels and lessens discoloration.
This stylish, chrome-plated system attaches to the faucet head--so water flows directly through the filter to the sink. Assembly instructions, including a video, are available on the Pur Web site. Tilting the filter back allows unfiltered water through for household chores such as dishwashing.
Water flows through the system at a rate of 2-1/2 liters per minute with pressure levels of 60 PSI. An automatic safety monitor (ASM) notifies users when it's time to replace the filter. Filters last approximately two to three months and may be purchased in bulk. While Pur filters rid water of many harmful chemicals, coloration, and bad flavors, they do not soften water or remove fluoride. This item weighs 3 pounds when shipped. --Jessica Reuling

Excellent for $25..PURE WATER:
my family is very serious about our water,& before the filter we could smell chlorine in the water, but this filter removes the chlorine. Very nice. I do not have ANY problem whatsoever with water flow. It is coming out of a very small hole, not a fuacet so it is not going to run like a faucet. We use ours everyday to fill up coffee pot, tea pot, cooking pans, etc. No problem with the flow. I have read many reviews trashing this product, but HEY, it's $25... if you are spending $25 for a filter &... more info
Don't waste your money:
Don't waste your money on this device. It doesn't last past the first filter, as putting a replacement in apparently causes all of the seals to fail, and the ergonomic design means the water leaking out of the filter indicator that is unfiltered mixes in with the filtered water coming out of the device, so that you, at best, get slightly cleaner water, but not filtered. I've never been more disappointed in a device, what's the point if you have replace both the filter AND the faucet mount every time... more info
Does a great job but...:
I bought this filter about a year ago. It does a great job, I can taste a huge differance. The water flow didnt bother me at first, but after a week the window indicater started to leak. It wasnt bad at first but then it just got worse with time. Now, more water comes around the window than through the filter. I have to clean it all of the time because of the nasty stuff filtered out builds up around the window and the bottom piece where it twists on started to mold. I looked up the filter and found that... more info
INCOMPLETE ORDER!:
"I ordered this unit for my mother. She received only the bottome portion of it in one box and in the 2nd box was only a pen and not the rest of the filter. The seller then accused my mother of lying. It's a $30 filter that I bought for her to have clean water. We order all the time from Amazon and we have never had any problems. I want the money credited back to my account immediately! Any now after asking for the refund, which has yet to be credited, they have the nerve to ask for the original boxes back,... more info
