 Dont they test these things before they mass produce them? January 8, 2009
Even though I read the reviews here, just the thought of not having to buy water or juice anymore made me want to have this so bad. Sadly though these people didnt just receive a bad unit, seems like 90% or more have these leaking problem. I didnt even get to enjoy one cup of water, didnt even get to try the juice. =[ I installed this thing & its like I installed a waterfall, this thing leaked from every possible place, you know what I should have taken a picture. It was serioiusly that ridiculous, like the sprinkler cap they put on fire hydrants. I uninstalled & installed about 3 times, checking the washers, removing them & putting them back, still same thing everytime. I installed my faucets, I consider myself somewhat of a handyman so its not like this was brain surgery to me.
 Mostly pleased January 2, 2009
I read the mixed reviews of this product before getting it, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Thought I'd throw in my two cents.
First the bad: I had really hoped that the reports of leaking were just flukes, but unfortunately I also experienced leaking on the 2nd day I used the filter. I had to use one of the adapters to get the filter to fit on my sink, and it is around the adapter that the leaking is occurring... so leaking may not have been an issue had I not required the adapter. I tried reinstalling the thing multiple times, but the leaking persisted. So my solution was to go to the hardware store and get some stretchy plumbing tape. I wrapped it around at the point of the leak, and now I have no more leaking! On the down side, I have a piece of tape wrapped around my faucet. Fortunately, the tape is black and matches the trim of the filter, so it's not too terrible aesthetically.
Now the good: The reason I am willing to live with having tape on my faucet is because other than the leaking, I absolutely love this filter! I am a bit of a water snob (hate the taste of tap water), so I've been buying bottled water for years. I didn't like being so environmentally unfriendly, though, so I decided to give this a try. I love this water! It really tastes like bottled water! I did a little taste test comparing my tap water filtered vs. unfiltered, and the difference is striking.
Personally, I LOVE having the flavors. I am drinking SO much more water than I used to as a result of the flavor option. Like others, I have to use several squirts to get the flavor I want. I find that with several squirts, it tastes almost exactly like Fruit2O, so if you like that, you will like the taste of this. If you don't like Fruit2O or other diet drinks flavored with Splenda, you won't like this.
So overall, I am very pleased with this filter, now that I have found a workaround for the leaking issue.
So far Very Happy November 28, 2008
PUR FM-5050C 3 Stage Horizontal Faucet Mount with Flavored Cartridge
I bought this unit back in June and I love how it taste, I have the strawberry,peach, and raspberry, which I not only use for flavored water but I also use them to add flavor to my white and green hot tea.
It looks great and was easy to install and the filters are a snap too although either I use more water then I think or I don't get 100 gallons per filter as I am on my 3rd one.
I only gave it 4 stars because of the reports about leaking. Mine so far has not leaked at all and I would recommend to any one wanting to drink healthier.
 good quality November 24, 2008
I went with this one instead of the plain (non-flavored) one since it was cheaper. I was pleasantly surprised that the flavoring wasn't half bad. The quality of the product was fairly good and should last for a couple of years which is all you can really hope for.
Functional.. Packaging disgusting October 30, 2008
I am pleased with the actual product. The flavor taste delicious and is easy to operate. However, the packaging for this product was disgusting. The box was completely mangled and opened, and there was dirt and sand throughout the entire package. I was scared to use the filter, as there was sand actually in it. After buying a new filter I used the produce and loved it.
