Overview
Kitchen counters and fridge shelves with a PUR pitcher or dispenser are where this refill goes. Each PUR PLUS cartridge gets a quick soak and rinse, then twists into place and locks, filtering tap water as it flows through.
Certified lead reduction from the maker of the pitcher is the reason to stay with these refills. PUR states plainly that off-brand cartridges are not certified to filter the same way in its systems. Microbes are outside its scope, and each cartridge covers a short span before it needs replacing.
Who it's for
Homes with older plumbing or lead service lines that already run a PUR pitcher get the refill the maker certifies. Owners of other pitcher brands should look for cartridges made for their own housing.
Pros and cons
- WQA certified to reduce lead
- Fits every PUR pitcher and dispenser system
- Twist-to-lock change after a short soak
- Three filters per pack
- Does not filter microbes
- Short life per cartridge means frequent changes
- Needs soaking and rinsing before each install
- Full contaminant list beyond lead not listed
Performance notes
Tap water passes through the cartridge on its way into the pitcher, so the filter media does all the work. Lead reduction depends on staying within the rated gallons or months, after which the media is spent. The soak and rinse before install wet the media so water flows through evenly from the first fill.
