The Pur Plus Water Filter Pitcher is one easy way to get better water for cheap. Most bottled water is really just filtered tap water anyway. Why not use a filter and make your own and save the waste of hauling bottled water? To say nothing of saving all the land fill space filled with water bottles. Here's how Pur water filters make sense.
These filters are good for about 40 gallons of water. So using the filters is inexpensive compared to bottled water. You'll quickly notice that Pur filters are much like Brita water filters. The designs are similar and so are the costs. Here's a difference...
Pur filters are certified to reduce cryptosporidium and giardia. These are parasites found in drinking water sometimes. The Pur gets them, the Brita isn't certified to remove these. Maybe your water has these parasites in it. Maybe it doesn't, but the Pur gets them if they're there.
Pur filters contain activated carbon to reduce chlorine and make better tasting water. You'll notice that many types of filter systems do contain carbon elements to improve taste. The other part of the filter is a resin section that reduces lead and copper which are both health hazards. Like the Brita, these filters do leave in the fluorine.
The Pur Plus Water Filter Pitcher produces good tasting water while reducing harmful minerals and chemicals. They are certified to reduce cryptosporidium and giardia parasites too, which the Brita is not certified to do. Beat bottled water and eliminate a lot of waste with your own water filters.
