Reddit mentions of PUR FM-3700 Advanced Faucet Water Filter, Chrome

We've had decent luck with a PUR filter attached to our faucet.

I don't mind the taste of City water, but my wife doesn't care for it, so we installed a faucet filter a couple of years ago. I won't lie though, the PUR filter doesn't eliminate the mineral taste entirely. If I had to put a percentage on it, I'd say it removes about 90% of the taste.

Here's a filtered water pitcher for $27 and here's a faucet filter for $37.

I'm looking for water filter recommendations for my faucet to see if my water might be cause of some of the skin issues I've been having. So far I've only looked at PUR water filters on Amazon because I don't know anything about water filters and they are the only ones I've heard of. I'm not really sure what's the difference between the [basic] (https://www.amazon.com/PUR-Black-Basic-Vertical-Faucet/dp/B009V9K6BY/ref=sr_1_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1474066604&sr=1-3&keywords=pur+faucet+water+filter), [2-step] (https://www.amazon.com/PUR-FM-3333B-2-Stage-Vertical-Faucet/dp/B0007ZYUA4/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1474066604&sr=1-2&keywords=pur+faucet+water+filter), and [advanced] (https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Faucet-Filter-Chrome-FM-3700B/dp/B0009CEKY6/ref=sr_1_8?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1474066604&sr=1-8&keywords=pur+faucet+water+filter) filtration systems. I will not be drinking this water, as I already have another system installed in my kitchen for that. Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated. If there's another sub where someone can direct me for more specific information, that is also appreciated! Thanks!

Only if they say they're rated to do as such. This one makes no mention of lead so I would assume not. Also, you may find pitcher filters are annoyingly slow. You're better off getting a faucet attached filter, even their standard filters are rated for 99% lead removal. They take about a minute to install.

That's less about the region and more about how it's being stored. You'll want to double check your containers are sealing properly and that your refrigerator is staying a proper temperature.
If you're concerned about the water, which isn't going to be much better or worse than most places in California, get a filter on your tap. I have something very similar to this on my faucet for drinking water. It's not that the water is unsafe to drink, but more so it does have tastes in it that I want out. Either way, those filters can be found in any major department store for sure, or even something like Home Depot or Lowe's.

I live in Florida and we have relatively hard city water, our PUR filter does very well at removing the chlorine taste. Haven't tried it with well water, however; some friends of ours though have a well and water softener system and that makes it quite drinkable if just a bit salty.

One of these.

I never said to repeal it. Repealing it would be bad. I don't support Trump or Obama. Also, I don't believe those filters completely filter out the lead. At best it's 99.x%, but that's from a really nice filter. What kind of filters did they get? Also, they are still showering in the water. What do you have to say about that? Did they also give everyone shower filters?

I found the first filter crappy that they offer: https://www.amazon.com/Brita-Basic-Faucet-Filter-System/dp/B000EOOQPW/?ie=UTF8&qid=1498673099&sr=8-3&keywords=brita+saff-100

This one is much better that they offer: https://www.amazon.com/PUR-3-Stage-Advanced-7-7-Inch-3-2-Inch/dp/B0009CEKY6/?ie=UTF8&qid=1498673366&sr=8-1&keywords=pur+faucet+mount+fm-3700b

And they offer this too, which I think would be needed: https://www.amazon.com/ZeroWater-Cup-Dispenser-Meter-ZD-018/dp/B003QXM3U8/?ie=UTF8&qid=1498673456&sr=8-1&keywords=ZeroWater+23-Cup+Dispenser+ZD-018

I'm on a budget at the moment so I need something with a lower upfront cost. I looked around and saw that PUR has a system for $24. Would you recommend this?

I use one of these just to be safe and it also improves the taste. You might want to take a look - https://smile.amazon.com/Advanced-Faucet-Filter-Chrome-FM-3700B/dp/B0009CEKY6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1474304587&sr=8-3&keywords=pur+water+filter

it's a water filter that attaches to the sink faucet, kinda like this one:

Beyond testing you can also buy these 3 stage water filters: http://www.amazon.com/PUR-Advanced-Faucet-Filter-FM-3700B/dp/B0009CEKY6

Not too expensive.

Did you ever consider a faucet mounted filter. It's faster and more convenient than a pitcher while still cheaper than a reverse osmosis system.

Bonus question: I now use a variable temp bonavita kettle so I can set it to any temperature I want but before that I would usually wait till 20 seconds off a boil.

edit: I only have personal experience with the pur filter linked above and I loved it until it cracked. However reading the reviews as pointed out by allwoundup I've discovered this isn't an uncommon occurence. So you may want to consider a different model like a culligan or Dupont. However I haven't had any personal experience with these models so I can't vouch for them.

También están los Pur.
