5 Stars Great value!!!
I have been using these filters for a long time and found this to be the best deal yet.

5 Stars Great price & quick shipping
Looked at all the stores in town and these filters were very pricey. Checked here and found them for half the price.

5 Stars Very Nice!
The water filters work great! I love having the filter attached directly to my kitchen facet because I never run out of water and now that I have a 6 pac of filters I can drink as much delicious water as I desire.

5 Stars Affordable replacement water filters
I give this product the higest satisfaction rating. The performance is the same as those purchased at local retail stores but,”here is the good news” the cost is 40% to 60% less on Amazon.com. I can say the filters appear identical to the ones at local retailers so I assume the only difference is the PRICE. Finally i’ve found an affordable alternative for cleen water.

4 Stars Filter Fine
What is there to say about Pur filters? I feel they are great for the amount they filter and the price. Alas, like many other people I too suffer from water filter casing leakage. The last case I had prior to this one leaked also. I called Pur and they said that there was nothing they could do for me as I had discarded the original packing box and there are numbers on it that they needed. When I bought it’s replacement I kept the box and it was a good thing as the casing that holds the filter began leaking also. This time armed with the original box I phoned Pur and the person I spoke to was unaware of any problems with leakage. I mentioned the numerous people who had taken the time to write reviews and their problems all were about the housing leaking. The person I was speaking with took the numbers from the box and said a new filter housing would be on it’s way. My advise is to keep the whole box that the filter and housing comes in and if you have trouble with leaking call Pur and if they say it’s an unheard problem mention the reviews on various Internet sites written by people with the same problem, leakage. As to if they will follow up with the product? Well its only been a couple of days now and I was told it will take 2 – 3 weeks to arrive. At no point was the Pur representative nasty nor was I, just matter of fact and mentioning the Internet and the immediate “we’ll replace the unit” tells me that Pur IS aware of this problem and in using honey rather than vinegar to attract bees is a good way to approach this issue, at least for me it was.

4 Stars As good as ones that cost 2 – 3 times as much
Over the years we’ve tried several Britta and Pur units, and have spent many $$ for their replacement cartridges. We’re now on our second Instapure 2, which is exactly the same as the Teledyne-branded one we used to have, and uses exactly the same filter elements. The lowest cost Instapure filter elements — R2 — in 4-packs are about the least expensive water filter elements there are from anyone. There are also Instapure R5 and R7 models for more money, but we’re just using the filter to make city tap water tastier, not to remove contaminants.

Our coffee, tea, bourbon & water and even ice cubes now taste better than they did in pre-filter days, and the Instapure units are easy to install, seem to last a year or more, and are cheap to replace if they start leaking.

The “lasts a year or more” is the only reason for 4 stars instead of five. But then, I might be wrong. This is only my second one after we had its predecessor for a year, and I probably could have stopped the old one from leaking if I’d replaced the filter and tightened it correctly. No big deal either way.

The Culligan filters also look decent, but we haven’t tried them.

One tip: you know your Instapure filter needs changing when it starts to run slow. No blinking lights needed.

Another tip: my wife likes to keep a cold pitcher of water in the refrigerator and used to use a Britta pitcher. Now she just keeps her cold-water jug filled with filtered water from the sink — and she also refills 20 oz. travel-size water bottles from the filter-equipped tap so we have tasty water when we’re outdoors in the hot Flora Duh sun.

Last tip: I have a Cuisinart Grind & Brew coffee machine with a built-in filter that costs a bunch to replace. So I haven’t replaced it in 2 years. Once again, filtered tap water does the job and saves $$$.

5 Stars no leaks with the right washers
i had problems with leaks like some other reviewers stated. but then i contacted instapure and got the manual to re-do the installation. after reading the manual and adding 2+2 i figured out that the large black washer goes between the faucet and the double-threaded adapter. the red one is to be used between that adapter and the filter holder. once i had reassembled it all, no more leaks were noticeable at all and the water quality is just perfect.

4 Stars Excellent product, excellent price
I looked through the reviews on just about every water filtration device out there and this one was one of the least expensive. It works wonderfully, very very easy to install. There is a small amount of leakage right around the joint that connects to the faucet, but it runs off under the faucet and does not contaminate the “clean” water in the least. Some people may find this annoying, but it is something I personally can live with. Especially given the price of this unit, and the cost of the replacement filters is great, too.

5 Stars Awesome
The person giving this a bad review obviously does not own this. This filter comes with a tool to use to screw the head off or on. If you take out all the original washers to the faucet and install this correctly it does not leak. Results are very tasty with this filter when installed correctly. The filter must be turned on for 2 minutes to flush it out. I was originally looking for the culligan one at my local hard ware store bought they only had this one so I just gave it a shot. It made a huge difference. It says it only removes 92% of cholorine and bad taste but let me tell you I could taste the chlorine before but now not at all and the taste is excellent. Not only that instapur gives great bulk deals for filters on their website. Let me say we buy no more bottled water with this filter.

4 Stars So far so Good
I read all the reviews about water filters, and went to Lowe’s looking for the Culligan one. But, nothing from that brand was there, and they had this Instapure filter, in addition to the PUR and the Brita. But I read a lot of bad reviews about the last 2, but did not know of Instapure. Given that it was real cheap, I decided to try it.

So far, so good. When I first installed it, it had a lot of leaks where it attaches. After removing it a few times, I discovered that when I tightened it a lot, the seal would get into the metal adapter. So the next time, I tightened enough so that the filter doesn’t swing loosely, but not enough to make the seal pop into the adapter. That eliminated all leaks.

Also, instead of first installing the adapter on the faucet, and then on the Filter, I first attached it to the filter, tightened it, and then spun the whole filter into the Faucet. This made it really easy to install.
