Pur 2 Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter #CRF-950Z (Review)
Pur 2 Stage Water Pitcher Replacement Filter #CRF-950Z
| Average Customer Rating: 3.5 |
| I bought three boxes of these filters and have used them over the last 6 months. Every single filter had a mysterious greasiness on the outside of it which was very hard to remove (I use a dry paper towel to rub off as much of the grease as I can). As another reviewer mentioned "the filters leak their guts" -- some of the filters had white granules on the outside - soft like plastic or rubber which one can rinse off before installing the filters in the pitcher -- but what the heck are the granules?
The older filters with the automatic guage on top never had these problems. I'm waiting to hear from PUR what is going on. Although I've been using these "new" filters for months now, I've grown very wary of PUR's quality control and am ready to seek alternative products for filtering my water. Product works well, but I do prefer the gage/meter that used to be on the older version of this filter. Other than that, they seem to work just fine. Bring back the meter! This is the first set of replacement filters that I've purchased for my PUR Dispenser (DS-1800Z). The original filter performed flawlessly for 2 months, filtering about 1 gallon of water a day. The first thing I noticed about these replacement filters is that there's a small hole in the top. A note in the box reads, "... a design change has been made to this filter. You'll note a small hole in the top of the filter. This is to help water flow through the filter and does not affect contaminant reduction of your PuR filter." Well, after 1 month of usage (about 1 gal. of water/day) it now takes about 8 hours to filter a gallon of water. Not sure if I received a bad filter or this is the result of their "improved design". I called their 800 line, explained the issue, and was offered a voucher for a replacement filter. |
