Eliminate harmful chemicals and unseemly odors and flavors from tap water with this faucet-mounted, vertical filtration system from Pur. The new Ultimate filtration line improves on Pur Advantage models, eliminating additional contaminants such as cadmium. It also reduces cryptosporidium, giardia, lead, mercury, asbestos, copper, zinc, and sediment 96 to 99.99 percent, plus lowers chlorine levels and lessens discoloration. This stylish, chrome-plated system attaches to the faucet head--so water flows directly through the filter to the sink. Assembly instructions, including a video, are available on the Pur Web site. Tilting the filter back allows unfiltered water through for household chores such as dishwashing. Water flows through the system at a rate of 2-1/2 liters per minute with pressure levels of 60 PSI. An automatic safety monitor (ASM) notifies users when it's time to replace the filter. Filters last approximately two to three months and may be purchased in bulk. While Pur filters rid water of many harmful chemicals, coloration, and bad flavors, they do not soften water or remove fluoride. This item weighs 3 pounds when shipped. --Jessica Reuling

 INCOMPLETE ORDER! April 20, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
"I ordered this unit for my mother. She received only the bottome portion of it in one box and in the 2nd box was only a pen and not the rest of the filter. The seller then accused my mother of lying. It's a $30 filter that I bought for her to have clean water. We order all the time from Amazon and we have never had any problems. I want the money credited back to my account immediately! Any now after asking for the refund, which has yet to be credited, they have the nerve to ask for the original boxes back, still accussing her of lying. I'm having my mother email me her scanned copy of the receipt from the store she had to go to just to get a complete working water filter. I am extremely disappointed in Tarsal for not taking care of their customers. I'm the Supervisor of Customer Service at a very large National retail store and we most certainly do not take care of our customers this way."
 Nice looking and really does the job it's supposed to do May 5, 2005

The chrome look of this unit is quite nice and really does look like chrome (doesn't look cheap like some other metallic plastics), matching chrome fixtures nicely. But the important part is that this filter really does its job. You'll find at Pur's website that the Pur Ulitmate is NSF certified to effectively filter 28 contaminants listed in NSF Standard 53, whereas some competing products, including a popular disposable model that doesn't use cartridges, claim certification for less than a third of those. I'm sure there are truly comparable filters out there, but check the specs before you buy. Flow rate seems reasonable to me. I can fill up my 12-cup coffee carafe in under a minute, and I don't mind taking a couple of extra seconds for the peace of mind that I'm drinking cleaner, safer water. After all, I won't be needing it for washing dishes or taking a shower.
It's very easy to install, and it seems more durable than an older generation Pur faucet-mount filter I had that developed leaks after a while. This one has been working for almost a year with no leakage at all.
 More about aesthetics than function March 16, 2005

This is a very good-looking filter. We used to live in Orlando where the water tastes like sewage, so a good filtration system was a must. This filter definitely cleans the water to drinking standards and the on/off functionality is well thought out. However, this is one of the SLOWEST water filters we have tried. It starts off okay but after a week or so, we wanted to return it because it took so long just to fill a glass. We tried another filter and the same things happened. A friend who was staying with us informed us that her PUR had done the same thing.
So, we went back to Target and purchased a Clear Flow for 2/3 the price of the PUR and we couldn't be happier. It has 3X the water flow and looks just as good on the faucet. Go with Clear Flow or Brita instead of PUR.
