Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount White FM-3400B

Customer Review: Don't waste the money!
Summary: 2 Stars

I've had two PUR water faucet mounted water filters - this type and the slightly more expensive one with the on-off "switch" for unfiltered water. The last one, of the "swivel" type, lasted less than 4 months. First it started leaking. The attachment mechanism is cheap plastic and constantly needs tightening, which is not as easy as they lead you to believe. After actually having to remove it and reinstall it twice, because it more or less started to fall off the faucet, the entire housing cracked diagonally and is currently held on by duct tape! PUR must be aware of these problems as when I called they offered to send a coupon for a free replacement and did so. ALSO, the filters really only last 1 month or less. To be fair, perhaps the area where I live has water with unusually high particulates, but I honestly don't that's it. To be fair, I've had both BRITA and Teledyne-Waterpik filters starting back in 1995 and none of them last more than 6 months tops. The BRITA was the best in terms of water taste and useful features, such as three choices for water output: filtered, unfiltered stream & spray for dish washing. But the switch broke after a few months.

We do not have unusually high use of the filter, having no children or a constant parade of guests using it. There's just the two of us, so we should have got a lot more life out of the filters and the entire system than we did. We only bought the second one when the BRITA died in December, because we unearthed an entire box of filters from the previous PUR and decided to make use of them.

I'd give this a miss unless you really need it right now and this is what you have to spend - or have a gift certificate so you're essentially getting it for free. But be prepared to have to replace it in three or four months. Maybe you'll get lucky! A person alone who is hardly at home and does no cooking will probably double or even triple the life of unit and filter.

Description of PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount White FM-3400B

The 3 Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount reduces heavy metals (lead and mercury), chlorine (taste and odor), Benzene, MTBE and TTHMs to provide clean, healthy, great tasting water. It also makes cooking with filtered water easy, and it's easy to install.
From PUR, this white Three-Stage Vertical Mount Faucet Water Filter clicks onto any standard faucet--no tools required. Each filter is capable of cleansing up to 100 gallons of water (lasting two to three months, on average). The filter's purification system keeps sediment, chlorine, lead, trace pharmaceuticals, microbial cysts, and other pollutants from reaching your drinking glass. In the final stage, water is filtered over natural minerals for a crisp taste. The filter swivels 360 degrees and has a convenient built-in replacement indicator.

Three-Stage Filtration Improves Taste and Odor
The filter's first stage traps sediment, like dirt, rust, and sand, while the second stage greatly reduces contaminants, pollutants, trace pharmaceuticals, and illness-inducing microbes. In the final stage, water is filtered over natural minerals to give it a more refreshing taste. 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 also 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.

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 filter replacement.
