PUR30-Cup Countertop Water Filter Dispenser, 1 Genuine PUR Filter, 2-in-1 Powerful Filtration, Lasts 2 Months or 40 Gallons, Dishwasher Safe, White/Blue (DS1800Z)

My wife purchased this exact filtered pitcher a few years ago, and has worked out very well and lasted a long time. I recently had a small accident after cleaning it out and attempting to change the filter where the inner blue portion fell from the dish drain above my since and fell into the sink, cracking in a few spots. I did not notice the cracks right away and simply just rinsed it off and put the new filter in and began using it. When I noticed bubbles floating up and water dripped through and not passing through the filter, I realized there were some thing cracks that formed and it was time for a replacement.The original pitcher was at least 3-4 years old and I lost track because I bulk purchased filters during Covid because they became harder to find and I had a stash in the home for over a year (filters on average should be changed approx every 3-4 months, but I found the name brand would clog and stop working much sooner than the recommended gal/monthly change rate. I spotted an off brand supply that seemed to work longer, were cheaper and offered more filters in the case, so I stocked up!)I honestly cannot drink the water from my faucet as it has a terrible taste and smell, and I grew up in the late 80's early 90's drinking from the sink, the hose in the backyard and water fountains in school - for me not to drink the water in my home these days, there is definitely something wrong. PUR filters kill the smell and bad taste and make drinking water a pleasure again. For someone who has diabetes and high blood pressure, drinking enough water daily became a hard task until my wife purchased our first pitcher. Knowing that this product works, and allows me to enjoy the taste of water again, I made sure to replace the old with this new one, and bought more filters, too! LOL! Best part, I can re-purpose the lower section without the blue insert and still put other drinkable substances in there if needed (add fruit and water as an example or possibly home made iced tea) and still dispense it from the fridge.For those that rely on the TL;DR type reviews, it's a great product, lasts long, works wonders in the filter department as well as easy to clean... just don't attempt to dry and hang from a high place, if it falls it will get damaged... otherwise, worth the money and cheaper than buying bottled water at the store that tastes just as awful as my sink water.Hope this review was helpful!

I have had this filter for about 2 months, and I couldnt be happier. My city doesn't have drinkable tap water, and being pregnant, it was important to have a good filtration system for myself. I did my research and found this one. I do not personally enjoy the taste of water, but I have noticed this water does have a clean, and palitable taste. It does take a while to filter, but it isnt as bad as people say. My husband and I worked out a schedule, that I fill the top portion in the morning and he fills it at night and we hardly run out of filtered water. I highly recommend this filter to everyone, and has noticed a huge difference in my drinking water.
