I have used this filter for a full year now. The filtering capabilities of it is quite good. The water tastes great. The problem is that this is short lived. Each filter is supposed to last 100 gallons, I barely get 30 gallons out of each filter.This particular unit started to spring a leak at the back of it where there is a small hole for air pressure, this started almost exactly as the 1 year warranty expired. Then there was a crack along the plastic between the arm piece and the part that actually holds the filter. This got worse as each day passed. No I am getting water spraying from the filter from that crack and from the top where you screw the filters in place. This pile of junk fell apart in only a years time. I have now had it for 1 year and 3 weeks, it is beyond warranty. Pur refuses to replace the product and I have an extra filter from a 6-pack I bought that is not going to be used. Stay away from this model at all costs. In fact, stay away from Pur if possible.
