Granny Gems: I purchased my current pitcher in April, 2016, and love having it sit on my countertop right next to the sink and coffeemaker! I came back today because I figured it was time to get a back-up but instead of $28.00, it is now listed as $79. I am really disappointed that they have apparently stopped making these. I've owned 3 of these over the last 20 years, and as long as you don't try to carry it full of water, it never leaks. Living in a senior apartment tiny space, it was perfect since I don't drink cold water, just room temperature cool.
I never liked the newer filters that came out, but the original filters were sold in bulk so I bought 30 of them because I knew that eventually it wouldn't be available as well and I was right. These are delicate, but that doesn't mean they don't last, obviously. The clogged filters problem are just that...the filters are garbage, not the container. So, if I can find one for a reasonable price again, I'll snap it right up. This one really was a keeper. 3/6/22 UPDATE: Found a seller on Amazon that was selling a new one for $50 so I didn't hesitate. Arrived in perfect condition, and happy that I have a backup for...

SEAGREENSKY: I DRINK A LOT OF WATER EVERY DAY.

WITH THE DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA, OUR WATER (FROM WELLS) HAD A HIGHER CHLORINE CONTENT WHICH I FOUND QUITE OFF-PUTTING, AS I HAVE ALWAYS DRUNK THE TAP WATER JUST FINE UNTIL NOW. THE CHLORINE SMELL WAS QUITE STRONG, LIKE SWIMMING IN THE COMMUNITY POOL! THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WATER, JUST THE SMELL.

I TRIED FILLING WATER PITCHERS FROM THE TAP AND LETTING THEM SIT OVERNIGHT ON THE COUNTER TO OFF-GAS THE CHLORINE GAS. THIS HELPED A LITTLE, BUT NOT ENOUGH. IT STILL TASTED A LITTLE METALLIC.

SO I BOUGHT THE PUR 5 Cup Water Filter Pitcher CR-4000 AS AN EXPERIMENT TO SEE IF IT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE TASTE AND SMELL OF THE WATER. THE PITCHER COMES WITH A CHARCOAL FILTER AND LITTLE STICKERS TO HELP REMIND YOU WHEN TO CHANGE THE CYLINDRICAL CHARCOAL FILTER (EVERY 3 MONTHS).

THE FILTER INSTALLS WITH A QUICK TWIST, AND I FILLED THE TOP BLUE RESERVOIR WITH TAP WATER. IT FILTERED DOWN INTO THE CLEAR PITCHER AND WAS ABLE TO POUR EASILY. THE WATER IMMEDIATELY TASTED AND SMELLED SO MUCH BETTER. I COULD DRINK WITHOUT GAGGING, AND MY COFFEE TASTED SO MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE.

THE 5 CUP SIZE IS...

Soverybored: I used to love this dispenser. It fit my smaller-than-usual fridge, it gave me tasty water, it was a large dispenser, and I felt like I was getting clean and purified water.

I am also religious about washing it out when it's time to change the filter.

But you know what I should have focused my cleaning on? The actual faucet/dispenser part. I didn't realize that I'd have to bleach it out to get it actually clean. The scrub and rinse that most of us do to clean this dispenser isn't enough; you need to get into the actual faucet and use bleach and clean that well. You know how I realized I wasn't cleaning it well enough? I was pouring out water and saw little black flakes go into my glass. At first I thought it was charcoal from the filter. But it pulled it out of the fridge, poured out the water and turned it over. Then I saw that the actual dispenser/faucet bit had mold all over it.

How long had I been drinking moldy water???

Gonna have to toss this and stick to a pitcher - which is easier to clean.

Laurie's Account-Laurie's Account-: Wonderful replacement for our Pur Pitcher!
Our water tastes like bleach sometimes so don’t use it straight from the faucet to cook or drink. We have been using a Pur Pitcher for several years and it has done well for us although in the summer months as we were both drinking more water we felt like we were always filling it up. Since we have received our new 18 Cup Dispenser we have so much more water! I also like how I can have the filtered water totally filled and then have water in the part that is ready to be filtered as we use it! It does not over flow or leak and we are really enjoying it!
This is a wonderful water filter that we will enjoy in the months and years to come! Also the taste of the water is so great so we feel better drinking it and are drinking more of it!

UPDATE- 2/29/20. We now have a new refrigerator that purifies our water for us so I do not use the 18 Cup dispenser in that frig.
But now we have an extra refrigerator in our garage so I am going to put it in that one so we can have water extra handy as we work in the yard etc. Also I am going to use the container as we have people over as you can never have enough...

Ti Chen: This Pür water dispenser is compact and well made. It says 18 cups but actually, you can fill it up to the max, let it filter down and top it up to the max again, easily 36 to 40 cups before another refill. The best part is this Pür water dispenser is compatible with Brita filter, which is considerably less expensive and easier to find in any local store. However, Pür filter won’t fit on a Brita dispenser. Overall very happy with this purchase.
