 Three-Stage Filter Technology. View larger. | Three-Stage Filtration Improves Taste and Odor The filter's first stage traps sediment, like dirt, rust, and sand, while the second stage greatly reduces contaminants, pollutants, trace pharmaceuticals, and illness-inducing microbes. In the final stage, water is filtered over natural minerals to give it a more refreshing taste. The result is water that looks, tastes, and smells cleaner.Each PUR filter provides up to 100 gallons of clean water, and will typically last for two to three months. Activated Carbon Microfilter Removes Contaminants The second stage of filtration employs an activated carbon microfilter that removes most of the harmful contaminants commonly found in both municipal water sources and well water. This filter removes 98 percent of chlorination by-products while also reducing the taste and odor caused by chlorine. The filter also removes 99 percent of heavy metals, like lead; industrial pollutants, like asbestos; trace pharmaceuticals, like antibiotics and antidepressants; and microbial cysts, like giardia and cryptosporidium. User-Friendly Features and One-Click Installation The filter's one-click installation requires no tools; it snaps onto your existing faucet (filter is not compatible with pull-out faucets). Removing it is just as easy--simply push a button. The filter swivels 360 degrees to give you better access to your entire sink. A simple switch activates the filter and turns it off. For added convenience, this filter features a built-in electronic filter life indicator. The indicator flashes green, yellow, or red with use, so you'll know when it's time to update your filter. What's in the Box Faucet water filter and one filter replacement.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of PUR 3-Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount Chrome FM-9400BCustomer Review: This horizontal model is far better then the vertical upright model Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have tried both the vertical upright model and this horizontal low profile model. Both models offer the same great filtering and they do most definitely make your tap water taste much better. We have city water that is just horrible, I have trouble even brushing my teeth with it the chlorine is so strong. This filter made the water taste just fine, I was actually surprised how good it was.
As for which one to choose the vertical or the horizontal? I would only buy this horizontal lower profile one. My kitchen faucet is a moderately raised arch and I found that the vertical upright was in my way because the filter is too tall to swing away under the faucet, it only swings up to it leaving a big obstacle in your line of sight and in the way when washing bigger pots. I don't know of any faucet tall enough that the vertical model would swing underneath. Of the two designs I would only recommend this low profile horizontal model not the upright vertical one. The horizontal offers the same filtration and actually seemed to have much better water pressure and best of all it swings away under the faucet so it is not in your way nearly as much. They both take some getting use too but this lower profile would be the one to get.
I like that a green light indicator flashes when you turn the lever on for filtered water letting you know it is still clean and safe. The filter is very easy to replace simply unscrew the capsule and stick a new one in. There are two white buttons on the top if you want to take the whole unit off quickly just press and it comes off the faucet easily so you can unscrew the filter compartment much faster. I have been using it for several weeks and so far have had no problems with it falling off by itself, it seems securely mounted. There are several different fittings in the box, perhaps putting the wrong one on was the problem some reported of this unit falling off. I have had no problem. I was also able to find large discounted packages of filters at our local warehouse store.
We have been purchasing drinking water for the past year from a local reverse osmosis bottling place and while it tastes good there were some issues. Number one reverse osmosis takes everything out of the water which makes the water unusable by your body. My husband suffered a heat stroke last year shortly after we switched to r.o. water and was told by the doctor to add electrolytes because his body could not properly hydrate no matter how much he drank because all the minerals that make the water available to the body were stripped away. I had no idea why I was drinking so much and always still felt thirsty. I have not had that problem with this great PUR filter product! Also, it is much cheaper and far less of a chore to occasionally buy filters then it is to have to go buy expensive bottled water every week. I love this PUR filter!
