PUR Plus Vertical Faucet Mount Water Filtration System, Lead-Reducing Water Filter For Sink Faucet, Easy Install, 100 Gallons, Compatible with Sinks with External Aerators, Grey

It’s miles above Brita, I could CRY comparing the two…
Don’t buy the Brita faucet filter (the “Elite”, ASIN: B000EOOQPW)! It’s junk compared to the Pur and I can safely say this because I’ve used both. Brita faucet filters ride on their brand name household recognition for sales but that’s about it.💧 The water tastes better with Pur than Brita.💧 The Pur is slightly larger and feels of a higher quality in construction, the plastic feels better to the touch. The gray color is much better and professional looking for a sink fixture than bright white because it matches the color of sinks and faucets, which are usually gray due to stainless steel or nickel finishes. Brita also makes a chrome looking one but that one looks even worse. The Brita feels cheap and flimsy, food stains and discoloration are also much more apparent on the bright white plastic of the Brita faucet filter.💧 The Pur comes in a sturdy cardboard box sealed with tape, and everything is in plastic packaging or bubble wrap, the filter cartridge is sealed in plastic packaging, and you can tell it’s new and untampered. The Brita faucet filter arrives in a thin-gauge cardboard box with no tape or seal of any kind, you could open it, mess with it and put it back in and nobody would know, the filter cartridge it comes with is completely unsealed inside the box, no plastic packaging, hilarious because the cartridges you buy for the Brita pitchers are all individually sealed in a white plastic package.💧 The lever to switch to the filtered flow is extremely easy to activate because it rotates down like a lever, you could do it with one pinky with virtually no effort, even a cat could turn it on. The Brita filter uses a tab that you have to twist with your thumb and index finger, it requires two fingers and much more effort, if there’s oil on it from cooking it becomes more difficult. This is important for people with poor hand dexterity such as the elderly or arthritic. I think about my grandmother in her 80s, and her hand dexterity is so poor that we have to open bottles for her, there’s no way she could use the Brita.💧 The aerator for the unfiltered flow is much better with the Pur because it’s full speed, the Brita cuts the flow down significantly.💧 The filtered flow is much better. Brita’s filtered flow is like a laser beam: it’s thin and with such high pressure that when it hits the floor of the sink it splashes out of the sink. Forget about putting anything even remotely close to the Brita, the splashback will be all over you. The Pur is a wider gentle flow, making it possible for you to put something right under the flow without splash damage (lol).💧 The Pur installation is much simpler. With the Brita you have to screw/thread the faucet filter unit directly onto the faucet, with the Pur you screw/thread one of several included adaptors onto your faucet, this adaptor is not an aerator, it’s a hollow ring, the faucet filter unit then clips onto the adaptor. Since the Pur faucet filter can clip on and off easily without having to unscrew/unthread anything, you can easily remove it to clean/wash it when it gets dirty.💧 Because the Pur faucet filter clips on with an adaptor instead of threading directly onto the faucet, you can rotate the Pur if you want to move where the filtered flow is going to land or get it out of the way. You can’t do this with the Brita because it’s threaded directly on, if you try to rotate the Brita you’ll either loosen it (which will start leaking) or you’ll overtighten it (which will break it and start leaking).💧 The Pur filter lifespan is calculated digitally through electronics inside the unit, the status is shown through an LED that’s visible on the front/side of the faucet filter, this makes it easy to see when you’re standing in front of the sink. The Brita uses a cheap mechanical gauge which shows a red piece of plastic through a peephole when it’s time to replace the filter. This peephole is on the top of the faucet filter though, so you have to have your head directly over the Brita to look down through that peephole. If your sink is in a weird place or you’re not tall enough this becomes an issue. The Brita gauge also doesn’t work correctly, I had two of their faucet filters (the same model “elite”), one showed green but the filtered flow had completely stopped, the other showed red but the filtered flow was clear, go figure.💧 The Pur faucet filters last longer than Brita and are cheaper.

Oh ok. Made in China Shenzhen city. Fingers cross no issues. Fixed it up as per instruction. I am using a Made In Italy faucet so it is pretty much generic. If your faucet is not made in the EU or US forget about finding the right ring for it. You can get the ring but can a challenging to find one. Showy or some taiwan made faucet can be a problem. Goodluck finding the correct part for it. Can buy but the battery thing no clue on how to change them. Oh incase if it flats out I will probably buy another same one. Not looking at having this thing last long like 1year or more so to me after 3filters change I need to swap for the batts.Might as well.buy another same one to replace.the whole unit.Than again cheap.and good for what it is.off course there are many brands and design to choose from but overall this one suits fine as what it is.Update now the 28Dec 2024.Now the device has shown a red led so I am guessing the water from the tank is quite dirty. Have calculated.at 370approximate liters should be giving an estimate of 10-12 bottles of 32 fluid oz (naglene) per day. Not that bad. Quite a money saver. The important point is at the very least it filters the gung from your water tank.Better to be safe.

Der Verkäufer kann oder will mir nicht mitteilen , was genau der Filter wirklich filtert. Definitiv stinkt unser Leitungswasser nun nicht mehr nach Chlor . Aber die anderen Filter kann ich nicht sagen. Der Verkäufer verweigert mir dazu die Aussage.Nach genau 2 Monaten blinkt das Lämpchen Orange, was bedeutet , dass die Kartusche gewechselt werden muss.Ich würde mich lieber nach einem Filter umsehen , der sich genau definiert.Kleiner Nachtrag : Kartuschen gibt’s im Doppelpack ,aber leider zu einem viel zu hohen Preis , da kann man sich manch andere Filter neu kaufen. Leider Fehlgriff !

I like this product. Easy to install. It works
