Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount Gray FM-9100B
Customer Review: Easy Installation, Great Tasting Water
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our first faucet mount water filter. We just "upgraded" from the Brita filtered water pitcher.
Just three minutes after opening the box I was already flushing the filter (for five minutes, according to easy to read instructions) with faucet water. It comes with three adapters in case you have a faucet with different threads on the spout, but the original threading on the mount worked fine for us.
We also purchased the six pack of additional filters and haven't had to replace the original filter within the first five weeks. The information provided with the faucet mount filter explains that filter life is based on the amount of sediment in your water.
The water that comes out tastes better than the Brita filtered water, but not as cold, obviously. However, we kept the Brita pitcher (without filters) so we could fill it up and still enjoy refrigerated filtered water. It tastes even better chilled. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Customer Review: Own two, no problems
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a couple of these and have family that own them. I like this one most out of the 5 different filters I have owned. The only setback is having the water come out slower (not a big deal), and also, you have this device attached to your faucet. I prefer this filter over the Brita ones I have owned because it filters more (3-stages). Also, I don't like cold water so it's just a matter of filling my cup!
***I read that some people have had trouble with leaks. I had them at first, but that was when using an adapter. Make sure it is tight enough. I also think it might have something to do with water pressure. This filter limits the amount that goes through because it is a 3-stage filter. Make sure not to turn the water on full force. Although, mine doesn't leak when on full force, I do feel some pressure and think after a long time it could cause problems.***
Customer Review: PUR disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I have just thrown away the second PUR FM9500 faucet mount unit I have purchased in a little over two years. They worked fine for 9 and 14 months respectively, then the cheap plastic materials failed on each of them. The side of the body gradually split on the first one, then the plastic threads peeled off the unit end cap on the second one.
Calling the PUR customer service line was a waste of time; they offered no replacement parts, only a coupon for ten dollars credit if I went back to COSTCO for another $40 dose of replacement PUR. To quote John Wayne, "...that'll be the day..." This is a low quality product which works well for a short while, then literally falls apart. I will look for someone who wants my stash of the remaining overpriced PUR replacement cartridges. There will be no more PUR products in my house.
Customer Review: Totally dysfunctional
Summary: 1 Stars
The new PUR click-on device won't stay on the faucet, rendering it totally useless. My faucet has threads on the outside and the attachment used to secure the device to the faucet blows off as soon as you turn on the water. It may work with faucets with threads on the inside, but all I know is it won't stay on my faucet. PUR is aware of this problem and the company promptly sent me what they said was a newer model free of charge. However, it app[eared to be identical to the the one it replaced and has the identical problem. Now I have two PUR faucet systems PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount Stainless Steel FM-9100B I can't use. I gave it a one-star rating, but it really deserves a zero.Customer Review: not perfect, but you need this or something similar
Summary: 4 Stars
I've now owned three PUR filter products. The first was a pitcher, which worked fine. My first faucet mount eventually started to leak and something jammed up the insides a little. Customer service took good care of me. I now have this one ("stainless steel" - really plastic)I really think a lot of the problems were caused by really poor water quality. I live in an older place and sometimes the shower head ends up full of tiny chunks and fragments. The water here tastes terrible, as well. The PUR filter makes it MUCH better. Plus, I can't help but think their could be some health effects from drinking chlorine for years and years. I think it's a must have item, if you don't want to spend more for something even better.
