Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 3-Stage Vertical Faucet Mount White FM-3400B
Customer Review: Weight caused need for $500 Faucet Replacement
Summary: 1 Stars
We really liked the idea of getting away from the Pur water pitcher that we had been using for a number of years. We installed the original faucet version of the Pur water filter to our kitchen faucet.
We didn't notice, over time our faucet was being compromised by the weight of the filter, until one day our faucet became disconnected from its housing. We ended up having to replace the faucet all together...between the labor and the cost of a new faucet it ran $500+.
The silver lining...while we were paying for the plumber to come, we decided to invest in an under the counter GE Water Filter, which is certified by the State to remove a series of VOCs and other ickies....it cost $230, but at least now we know we have a filter system that is solid, with a dedicated faucet, and filtered water on demand.
Our advice, go cheap and use the Pur Pitcher, or go all the way...and install an under the counter solution...
May your water be plentiful and icky free!
Customer Review: This thing cracks like an egg
Summary: 1 Stars
After using the unit thru 2 filters, hairline cracks started appearing. So when you would flip the unit vertical for filtered water, water would spray out of the cracks at high velocity. Scared the stew out of me when it happened. So now the unit sits unused, waiting for me to decide what to do. I still have filters left to use, so do I buy the same unit and hope it lasts. Well stupid is as stupid does. This is my third unit. First one cracked, emailed P&G to complain and got a coupon for a replacement. Second one was the stainless steel looking one. It cracked where it joins with the faucet. So here I am with the third one. Somebody shoot me. P&G who owns PUR must know this because it is a chronic issue. They are either stupid or just dont care. Time to shop around.Customer Review: Horrible quality, but great tasting water

I first purchased this filter probably 10 years ago and used it for atleast 5-6 years with no leaks or any other issues. When it finally died, I bought another thinking it would be the same. Right away, I didn't like the spray as much as the stream of water of the original but I could live with it. What I couldn't live with is that within just a few months it started leaking at the filter swivel so that water would still pour out of the filter even when turned side-ways, and also water would come out of the faucet even with the filter turned on. It got so bad that more water would come out of the faucet than out of the filter. I replaced it within a year, and the same thing happened again. I just replaced it with the Pur fm-3600 horizontal-mount filter despite the bad reviews.Customer Review: Ash

We owned a PUR before this that screwed on to the faucet. It lasted about a year before it broke which was fine because we got our moneys worth of water. However, this new "one click installation" is ridiculous. The filter stayed on for a week then it flew off the faucet one day and the threads that kept it on were destroyed. I am extremely disappointed because the mineral filter water was actually really good. This product is cheaply made of thin plastic. I believe all the PURs are now made with "one click installation" so we don't plan to buy another faucet filter. As far as the water it tasted great and I'd give the filter 5 stars for that, but the filter alone is 1 star.Customer Review: Pur--ly Crackable

Though a perfect solution for Seniors with arthritic conditions, P&G should be ashamed for distributing this product. Apparently sending it to Mexico for sub-par plastic mold manufacturing makes it okay to then sell it in the U.S.
By the way, they actually make more money on the filters--but you can soak them in Vinegar to clear out the lime build-up and get extended life from it. However, I haven't found a solution that works for resealing the plastic molding.
If you don't want this kind of trouble from a product--don't buy it.
