A few months ago we had to discontinue our Culligan reverse osmosis drinking water filter. So I bought a Pur faucet-mounted filter. I bought one, liked it, so bought a 6-pack of filter replacements. Well, very soon thereafter, the part that switches from tap water to filtered water started squirting water when in tap water mode. I took it apart, and broke it in the process of trying to fix it. Because I still had 5 replacement filters, I went to Wally World and bought a new one. Well, now a couple of months later, it sprang a leak and gives you a shower when on tap mode (both times when in drinking water filter mode, there are no leaks, but you can't wash dishes in cold drinking water!). Idiotically (do not ask me why), we once again tried to fix it rather than return it (actually it had to do with the foot of snow on the ground), again rendering it something I'd have difficulty returning. I feel stupid for not immediately taking it back. I still have 3 new filter replacements, so am just trying to get by until I can throw the whole thing out. The questions? Has anyone else had problems with the on-faucet Pur system? Has anyone tried the Brita system? We drink a lot of water, and our water here isn't the best.
