   I bought these to suppliment the bottled water my son and I were going through(it's amazing how much water a 17 yr old boy drinks even when he takes a couple of sips and opens another bottle because he forgot he had one open). Our water is hard and sometimes has a smell and since I've been going through cancer treatment I've been trying to be a little more concious of things like this. I've had these pitchers before, but something happened to it and I'm glad I eventually bought another. I recommend this highly if you have problems with your tap water, or if you have a well(which my paternal grandparents did on their farm). Much improved taste and believe me it's helped my costs on the bottled stuff.

   Since this was the only item in my order, Amazon shipped it in one of those padded envelopes. When I got it, there was a 1-1/2" tear on the center of the envelope and the box was deformed. The filters themselves are okay. The black carbon bits still leak out sometimes but not enough to be bothersome. I don't know how this compares to PUR, but works well with me and I trust this brand.

   this filters filter my water but not as good as the original I got in my pitcher. Seems like it uses a different material inside to make the job. My water taste still a little bad after filtering... I will try another kind next time and will not buy this one again. I wish theire was a way to know if it was an imitation of the original filters before buy this. Do not waster your money on this ones...
