PUR Faucet Water Filters Reviews

Pur Water Filters are the best and most economical.
There are many choices and styles of water filters out there and it can be confusing without really reading the fine print. Most of them only filter for TASTE.
Pur brand filters out Lead, even gasoline and types of Bacteria that I cannot spell or pronounce. I have used the faucet style for many years. Pur brand does cost a bit more than most others but are well worth it, durable and one cartridge makes approximately 300 gallons of SAFE wonderful tasting water.
