Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR CR-5000 Two-Stage Water Pitcher with Flavor Cartridge

Customer Review: It's OK
Summary: 3 Stars

I got this pitcher because I love filtered water and my son likes flavored water, and I figured this would be a way to get both of us drinking more water. After about 3 months, I can say it's OK. Not a ringing endorsement, but it's not an abject failure.

I would have to agree with the comments of several other reviewers. The reservoir is fairly small, so if I want to make a (different) pitcher of some drink such as lemonade or iced tea with filtered water, it takes refilling this pitcher 4 or 5 times to get 2 quarts of water. And that means waiting for it to filter each time. I like the size of the actual pitcher because it fits well in the fridge, but can't they make either a smaller or a faster filter that doesn't take up so much of the pitcher room?

Ok, on to the flavor. The filtered water is great. I too wish it could filter out flouride, which I understand is both useless for teeth (flouride works when applying it to teeth; we need flouride treatments, gagging though they are, not to drink the stuff and make it a part of our bodies. What's next, neosporin in our drinking water?) Anyway, I agree that there is an issue with the flavor packages. It's hard to get flavor out of them. The mechanism doesn't work so well. This was a bit of a disappointment. My son likes maximum flavor when he can get it, but either the cartridges don't work well or they run out quickly. We will try just squirting it in the glass.

When he can get flavor, he really likes it. I don't care for it too much. If you look at the ingredients, it's like that polyglycol or whatever stuff that is in a lot of drinks but is indeed synthetic. I much prefer just buying some lime juice or lemon juice and using that, so that's what I end up doing more often. I'd rather that we both drink natural stuff. So, more and more we make spritzers using seltzer, a small amount of juice, and some lime juice, and it's great. But you don't need this for that. So, this is for when I just want a cool, crisp, clean glass of water, no flavor. So, I could have just gotten a regular pitcher without the flavor. They need to come out with some kind of natural flavoring. And a pitcher that can actually distribute it effectively.

Final complaint: the filters are hard to find. But both Brita and Pur seem to do this: they keep changing their pitchers and each one takes a different type of cartridge, so whatever pitcher you get, soon there's a new one out and the old cartridges are hard to find. I shouldn't have to order them online, which is what brought me here in the first place.

Enjoy PURe Water in a Few Easy Steps
The PUR Two-Stage Flavor Options Pitcher features a space-saving design that easily fits in most refrigerator doors. The pitcher holds up to seven eight-ounce glasses of deliciously chilled water at a time. The superior quality of this filtration system allows you to filter up to 40 gallons (151 liters) of water per filter cartridge--enough to last a typical household one to two months.

To use, simply insert the filter, fill the pitcher with water, and set the filter life indicator located at the top of the pitcher. This indicator light alerts you when it's time to change the filter--green means it's working, yellow is your warning light, and at red you need to change the filter.

Children Love the Burst of Fresh Flavors
The innovative Two-Stage Flavor Options Pitcher allows you to give your water a boost of fruity flavor, which is a great way to get children to drink enough water. With five tasty fruit flavors to choose from--grape, strawberry, peach, lemon, and raspberry--your children will be more healthy and hydrated than ever.

The flavor cartridge of your choice fits easily into the pitcher lid. With the push of a button, flavor is added to your water glass, leaving the water in the pitcher unflavored. One push is enough to flavor one eight-ounce glass of water. The more you push, the more flavor you get! And you can change flavors as often as you wish. Each flavor cartridge provides up to 75 servings of flavor and contains no sugar, calories, or dyes.

Preserve Your Family's Health and the Environment
Convenient and easy to use, the pitcher's innovative two-stage filtration system is certified to remove twice as many contaminates as Brita water filtration systems. It removes 99.9% of harmful microbiological cysts, such as cryptosporidium and giardia, as well as other contaminates, such as lead, chloride, and arsenic. What's more, pharmaceutical residue that's often found in the water supplies of major metropolitan areas is reduced by 96%.

The smart filter system also leaves beneficial fluoride in the water. This means your water will not only be healthier, it will taste cleaner. PUR believes your water should be as clean, natural, and free of unwanted substances as possible. To this end, All PUR products are tested and certified by NSF International, an independent agency that administers a series of rigorous tests for water purification.

In addition, by investing in a PUR water filtration system, you'll be spending a tenth of what you would in one year of buying bottled water. This amounts to a comparable savings of $600 a year if you were to buy 16-ounce plastic water bottles. By bottling your own filtered water, you'll not only be saving money, you'll also be helping the environment by reducing plastic waste from discarded water bottles.
