Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR CR-5000 2 Stage Water Pitcher with Flavor Cartridge
Customer Review: Just flip up the flavor lid before you squirt
Summary: 3 Stars
I came on Amazon knowing that people would be complaining about the flavor dispensing. Why? If you leave the flavor lid DOWN then the flavored liquid collects in the reservoir and you end up wasting a lot of flavor (it collects and solidifies). I ran into that problem early on, but the solution is extremely simple: flip up the lid of the flavor area before you squirt. Then, as you pour, squirt, and all of the flavor will go right in your glass.
This really isn't the greatest product for kids. They will undoubtedly use way more flavor than is necessary. Nor is it ideal if you have plan on having more than three people rush the fridge for water at the same time. And it is true that the flavor cartridges will not last as long as advertised if you give each glass two more or squirts. Of course, only one squirt is pretty weak compared to typical bottled water. (Then again, I'd say that the bottled stuff is too strong.)
I have to give this three stars because it was poorly engineered, for the aforementioned reason. A simpler solution would have been to skip the flavor reservoir step. You could flip up a cap to get to the button, that way you wouldn't accidentally push it and get flavor everywhere.
Anyway, once you get it working the flavor is good (raspberry and lemon, anyway, haven't tried the others), you save money, and your not lugging around cartons of bottles and dealing with extra recyclables.
Description of PUR CR-5000 2 Stage Water Pitcher with Flavor Cartridge
More Physicians and Nutritionists are advocating greater intake of water. Some say it's best to drink at least 2-liters per day. Apart from cellular needs, it helps the flow of digestion which, in turn, helps promote nutrient disbursement and excretory regularity to help maintain balance. Unfortunately, not all drinking water is up to taste or purity standards due to ground water table issues or supply sources. That's where bottled water or filtered water are needed. The choice is up to you.If you're buying bottled water, chances are you're doing so because you prefer the taste and trust the quality of bottled over tap. You're also paying more and missing out on the simple convenience of just running the faucet for drinking water.
The cost of water from a home filtration system is approximately 78% less per gallon than bottled. Over the long-term, the cost comparison between bottled and filtered can be quite significant. Once you own a home filtration system, your only expense lies in changing the disposable filter. Available at a lower cost than many bottled water sources, PUR home water filters and pitchers offer an easy, simpler way to get clean, better-tasting tap water from home.
The Pur CR5000 continues the reliable tradition of water filtration pitchers with which Pur has become famous. Long-lasting, replaceable filters help remove most minerals and pollutants to deliver softer, better-tasting, and healthier drinking water.
But the CR5000 adds space for yet another water device - a flavor enhancer. It adds a natural fruit flavor to the taste of the water - a sort of light essence to the taste - without adding sugar or calories. It's pure water with a little taste of flavor. When you get the CR5000, it comes with one Raspberry cartridge.
Optional cartridges are available (in 2 packs): FC500P (Peach); FC500R (Raspberry); FC500S (Strawberry).
Either way, you've the choice. Choose flav
