PUR Faucet Mount Water Filtration System, FM3700

I've owned several PUR faucet filters over the past 10 years. I recently moved from a house with well water that was the best tasting I've ever had, so didn't need the filter. My current place is on town water which is highly treated and chlorinated. I drink about 2 gallons of water every day and crave a very clean, neutral taste. This delivers perfectly. I like the ability to switch the water stream from unfiltered to filters with the flick of the lever and the filtered stream is still strong enough fill a quart pitcher in under 30 secs. The caveat is my house has extremely strong water pressure, so you may not get the same flow rate. Nevertheless, the water tastes fantastic. It takes about 2 minutes to install and about 5 minutes to change the filter. I love the visual indicator that tells you when you need a filter change. Mine have lasted the full 3 months that they say is the norm. PUR brand filters are expensive, but of course, Amazon sells generic. I'm really only concerned about taste, not safety, so ok with generics.

Nice price and quality item.

So I owned the horizontal one for many years, I’ve lost count. The filter light burned out a long time ago.I was considering a new one and saw this vertical model.I got it today and popped it on easily and I love it! The vertical design is much less “in the way” compared to the horizontal one. It also turns easily on the faucet and the best part is the two white buttons on the side that you squeeze and it simply pops off. This will come in so handy when I’m doing a lot of dishes to keep it out of the way.Edited to add:I really love this vertical design as it SOO easy to work around and pop it off to do dishes, as I hand wash my dishes.The other thing I noticed when I took my old horizontal version off was how much sediment was in the screen. That’s really good that it was catching all of that but it also slowed down the water flow. With the vertical version you can rinse that out so easily when you take it off the faucet.

Works great except for the taste. I have a well which has a high mineral content so I think the filter that adds minerals makes it taste weird. Looking for a replacement filter without the mineral core. I’m sure I can find one. Other than that it works really well and was very easy to install. My only other complaint is that I got the chrome one because I’m trying to reduce my exposure to plastic. Unfortunately it’s made of chromed plastic. If they made one of metal I would be happy to pay more for it.

This faucet filter is wonderful compared to the horizontal faucet filter. It isn’t in your way, is easy to attach and detach. I love it.

Good looking, I had a problem with the adapters being too small, but Pur sent out the right size.

We have had a PUR water filtration system on our kitchen facet for years. I had to change out the kitchen facet, consequently the adapters had to be changed out. This is when the problems started. PUR sent me new adapters, BUT the filtration system leaked at the new (plastic) adapter. It NEVER leaked with the previous (metal) adapter. I could not use the metal adapter because the mating interfaces are different from my older facet. So, since the filtration system was 5 years old, I thought it was time I buy a new system. Perhaps the locking ring was the problem. Installed the new filtration system, had the SAME problems, spraying leak with the adapter PUR sent me. So, I attached the new adapter that came with the new filtration system. Leaks got worse. Put the adapter that PUR sent me, back into the facet, and SLOOOOWLY turned on the water. No leaks. Switched to the filter side, and it developed a spraying leak. I turned off the facet, I then turned it on very SLOOOWLY, and the filter side didn't leak. After testing it for several minutes, I found turning the facet on fast with the filter side turned on produces a spraying leak, turning it on slowly and there isn't a leak. I'm thinking the rubber washer is either stiff or can't handle sudden pressure changes. The old adapter was a metal fitting; the new one is plastic. If I didn't have six new filters sitting in my cabinet, I would probably try another manufacturer, I don't see this filtration system or the adapter lasting more than a year. I see Amazon has companies that sell metal adapters, it's crazy to have to buy another company's facet adapters because the OEM adapters LEAK. Decreasing quality, perhaps the plastic adapters always leaked as opposed the metal one we used for years. NOTE: the instructions say to FINGER tighten the adapter. Doing that led to leaks at the facet/adapter interface. Adjustable pliers helped tighten up that problem.
