We began using this product because we moved to a new place that had really nasty tasting water and we had been buying jugs of water from the store. We really got sick of lugging all of that water home every week so we decided to give this a try. We started using it and were so impressed. The bad taste instantly went away and it was great. Five months later ours started leaking from the front it so we went out and bought a more expensive one hoping that would help. Once again about 5 months later it started leaking again so we bought the newest model with the sensor and it was chrome and we had high hopes. Within 3 days the sensor had broken, and within two months the thing started spraying out everywhere whenever you turned the water on. Seriously? I know it sounds stupid but we have now replaced it again. This one does seem better designed but is still the same cheap junk. I'm sure this one will not last either. Listen, if you really want clean great tasting water this product will achieve that, but you have to be willing to shell out money for the filters and replace the faucet mount at-least two to three times a year. For us it is easy and convenient and we haven't seen anything on the market that can really compete. I guess we will just say a little prayer that the company will get their act together, listen to the customer feedback and make better made long lasting product. Until then I guess we will wait and see how long this one lasts. Rating: 2 / 5 Ok, We switched to Pur water faucet mounts and filters one year ago.

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...........

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......... Rating: 1 / 5 I replaced three of the Purr 3 stage filters for my mother-inlaw in approximately 1 year.

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.
