Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 2-Stage Vertical White Faucet Mount FM-3333BCustomer Review: Go with a 3 stage filter Summary: 3 Stars
This is my third Pur water filter system. My first was a fixed horizontal mount which over time would shoot a stream of water from the base that mounts to the faucet. This was not a design flaw as I had bumped it several times during the duration of operation.
Installation was simple; didn't need the additional hardware that came with filter. It was necessary though to push with some effort to secure the bottom cover over the filter cartridge proper, so expect that and removing it (the filter cartridge) was difficult.
I agree with the other reviewer that the motion of turning the filter from the horizontal to vertical seems smooth and precise; however, I found it awkward to operate even though I am left handed. You would have to hold the container in your left hand and operate the filter with your right hand. I found the fixed position filter like the FM-9400 easier to use by turning the switch on these similar models with your right hand while holding the container you are filling with your left hand.
The filter water tastes great as here in Westport our quality of water does have a "skunkie" taste from time to time and the Pur system does an excellent job of removing any such taste; but I would go with a three stage filter.
I recommend a deep sink or high arch faucet as I have some difficulty filling a 1 liter plastic bottle. Again it is imperative not to bump the apparatus as this will lead to leaks.
VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT RUN HOT WATER THROUGH THE FILTER AS THIS WILL RUIN THE FILTER.
You can use a three stage filter cartage on this model.
Have only had the filter in use for three days now (Feb 14th)and will report back if any leaks occur which other reviewers have mentioned.
When I write a review I take into account the price of the item I'm reviewing in comparison to similar items of same within in it's price group. If you cross shop between Amazon and "the Bay" you'll find some great deals.
UPDATE:
My filter has devolved a vertical hairline crack just below the filter indicator window. Seem other reviewers has reported a similar problem.
I recommend that the owners of this filter not run the water at full pressure when the filter is in use; rather, reduce the water flow just enough to notice a slight reduction in it's flow.

 Two-Stage Filter Technology. View larger. | Two-Stage Filtration Improves Taste and Odor The first filtration stage traps sediment, like dirt, rust, and sand, while the second stage greatly reduces contaminants, pollutants, trace pharmaceuticals, and illness-inducing microbes. The result is water that looks, tastes, and smells cleaner.Each PUR filter provides up to 100 gallons of clean water, and will typically last for two to three months. Activated Carbon Microfilter Removes Contaminants The second stage of filtration employs an activated carbon microfilter that removes most of the harmful contaminants commonly found in both municipal water sources and well water. This microfilter removes 98 percent of chlorination by-products while reducing the taste and odor caused by chlorine. The filter also removes 99 percent of heavy metals, like lead; industrial pollutants, like asbestos; trace pharmaceuticals, like antibiotics and antidepressants; and microbial cysts, like giardia and cryptosporidium. User-Friendly Features and One-Click Installation The filter's one-click installation requires no tools; it snaps onto your existing faucet (filter is not compatible with pull-out faucets). Removing a filter is just as easy--simply push a button. The filter swivels 360 degrees to give you better access to your entire sink. A simple switch activates the filter and turns it off. For added convenience, this filter features a built-in electronic filter life indicator. The indicator flashes green, yellow, or red with use, so you'll know when it's time to update your filter. What's in the Box Faucet water filter and one replacement filter.
