PUR RF-9999-6 3 Stage Faucet Mount Filter, 6-Pack 
This product is good in the sense that it works fine for the first few days. Then, water flow thins down and it becomes hard stop in 2 weeks. It is very misleading to advertize that it lasts for 2-3 months or 100 gallons. Dude!! Use and test it before you sell or advertize. The filter is good for about 2 weeks. This is far expensive than good old trusted bottled water. Don’t buy this unless you are stinking rich and are comfortable with false advertisements.

I replaced three of the Purr 3 stage filters for my mother-inlaw in approximately 1 year. We kept replacing the unit because she had an initial investment in a 6 pack of filters, but after the 3rd unit failed we decided to cut our losses. The units would leak upon initiation of the filter. I took the last unit apart and it was apparent that the internal o-ring seals were being damaged by the twisting action associated with activating the filter. We have had a Teledyne unit for over ten years and never experience a problem. Needless to say, the mother-inlaw will have a new Teledyne unit in the near future. Apparently, Teledyne has better rocket scientists. . . . . . . . .

Just bought a package of these and noticed it says “Amazingly, it leaves behind healthful fluoride, along with a clean, fresh taste!”
Now I don’t know about you but I have learned that fluoride is highly toxic (a by-product of aluminum manufacturing) it is also one of the main ingredients in some RAT POISON. I want a water filter to REMOVE fluoride not promote it!!! Do some research, fluoride is toxic and we have been programed to believe it helps reduce tooth decay! GET THIS: The ADA recently came out and said that too much of it actually creates tooth decay! Insanity. . . . . . . . . . .

I have been using these filters for quite a few years now.
The cost is about the same as bottled water,I think the price should be lower so more people would use them.

The last PUR filter produced a soapy-like foam on top of the water. At first I thought there was soap left in the glass, so I washed the glass a number of times and compared the water from the tap with that coming from the PUR filter. Over and over again the water from the filter was foamy. And yes, I would let the water run for 5 seconds before filling the glass–though the filter should NEVER produce foam. To be fair, this is the first time this has happened. HOWEVER, what had we been drinking before the foam became apparent? What was the foam? It definitely came from the filter. If one filter does this out of 10, then is the filtration system really safe? Can it be trusted? I don’t think so. I’m going back to bottled water.
