PUR RF-9999-6 3 Stage Faucet Mount Filter Review
Filter works fine enough I guess. But people who say it only last about 2 weeks are telling the truth. I was not happy with how fast it blinked yellow and then red. I expected like 4 times as long. I had a different type of filter, I cant remember the name, but it lasted like 4 – 6 months. It was the type that had a white line that slowly turned black. I’m gonna be going back to it. So If you got a lot of money this is great for you because it only last a couple of weeks.

I’m a big fan of these filters. I live in an agricultural town that uses well water with questionable quality: high mineral content, sulphur odor, and the possibility of agricultural pollution. These filters made a drastic difference in the clarity and taste of the water. Is agricultural waste really contaminating my water and does this this filter remove it? I haven’t had the water tested, thus I don’t know for sure. There are also mixed opinions about town as to whether bad water is a problem. However, letting my taste buds judge, I’ll guess this makes a difference in removing pollutants that I can and cannot taste. These are relatively low-cost filters when purchasing in bulk. The faucet mount for these filters is a different matter altogether, and I think it is a shame they are not built to the same quality standards as the filters they hold.

I’ve had this PUR 3-stage filtration system for 4 months now and have gone through a 6pk of filters. So I’m averaging about 1 filter every 2-3 weeks. At first I was upset because the filters are expensive and were advertised for 2-3 months of usage. But our filtered water tastes MUCH better than the normal tap water (and the strong chlorine smell was filtered away) so it seems as though the filters were doing their job. Recently, I received a notice from our town water utility describing the local water system. Apparently none of the town water is filtered, it comes straight from the NYC aqueduct and gets chlorinated, but that’s it. The town we live in is fairly old so I imagine the water pipes are quite old. Also, our house is over 100 years old so I suspect that the combination of unfiltered town water + old water pipes is allowing a lot of sediment to clog our PUR filter. I would much rather spend some extra money on filters to ensure clean water than to worry about whether the filters lasts a long time. If a filter lasts a really long time, it seems to me that maybe it’s too porous and allows more sediment and chemicals through into the drinking water. I’m no expert but this is my thinking on this issue.
