Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pur Ultimate FM-8100 Faucet Mount Vertical Filtration System, Chrome
Customer Review: Excellent for $25..PURE WATER
Summary: 5 Stars
my family is very serious about our water,& before the filter we could smell chlorine in the water, but this filter removes the chlorine. Very nice. I do not have ANY problem whatsoever with water flow. It is coming out of a very small hole, not a fuacet so it is not going to run like a faucet. We use ours everyday to fill up coffee pot, tea pot, cooking pans, etc. No problem with the flow. I have read many reviews trashing this product, but HEY, it's $25... if you are spending $25 for a filter & expecting it to act like it's a $150 filter you are in error. The important thing is the STUFF THAT IT REMOVES SO THAT YOUR WATER IS PURE!!!! & this is what I like... the replacement filter is about $17, so if something does go wrong with your unit... a brand new one only cost a few bucks more. GREAT PRODUCTCustomer Review: Does a great job but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this filter about a year ago. It does a great job, I can taste a huge differance. The water flow didnt bother me at first, but after a week the window indicater started to leak. It wasnt bad at first but then it just got worse with time. Now, more water comes around the window than through the filter. I have to clean it all of the time because of the nasty stuff filtered out builds up around the window and the bottom piece where it twists on started to mold. I looked up the filter and found that it's a common problem with this model. It's too much to buy filter after filter if they will all end up the same way. But since it does a good job we've kept it. We just dont turn the filter all of the way down and keep the water flow low, so it takes SO LONG to get a glass of water. I'v been looking at water pitchers just to have a less time consuming way of getting clean water.Customer Review: More about aesthetics than function
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a very good-looking filter. We used to live in Orlando where the water tastes like sewage, so a good filtration system was a must. This filter definitely cleans the water to drinking standards and the on/off functionality is well thought out. However, this is one of the SLOWEST water filters we have tried. It starts off okay but after a week or so, we wanted to return it because it took so long just to fill a glass. We tried another filter and the same things happened. A friend who was staying with us informed us that her PUR had done the same thing.
So, we went back to Target and purchased a Clear Flow for 2/3 the price of the PUR and we couldn't be happier. It has 3X the water flow and looks just as good on the faucet. Go with Clear Flow or Brita instead of PUR.
Customer Review: INCOMPLETE ORDER!
Summary: 1 Stars
"I ordered this unit for my mother. She received only the bottome portion of it in one box and in the 2nd box was only a pen and not the rest of the filter. The seller then accused my mother of lying. It's a $30 filter that I bought for her to have clean water. We order all the time from Amazon and we have never had any problems. I want the money credited back to my account immediately! Any now after asking for the refund, which has yet to be credited, they have the nerve to ask for the original boxes back, still accussing her of lying. I'm having my mother email me her scanned copy of the receipt from the store she had to go to just to get a complete working water filter. I am extremely disappointed in Tarsal for not taking care of their customers. I'm the Supervisor of Customer Service at a very large National retail store and we most certainly do not take care of our customers this way."Customer Review: Don't waste your money

Don't waste your money on this device. It doesn't last past the first filter, as putting a replacement in apparently causes all of the seals to fail, and the ergonomic design means the water leaking out of the filter indicator that is unfiltered mixes in with the filtered water coming out of the device, so that you, at best, get slightly cleaner water, but not filtered.
I've never been more disappointed in a device, what's the point if you have replace both the filter AND the faucet mount every time the filter runs out?
