Are the PUR water filters really only good until the bar turns red on the tap? Or is that just a gimmick to?

Question

get you to rush to buy another one? ours just turned red (we have the stage 3 for the faucet) and I don't know if it's a dire emergency to get a new one or if we can wait a bit..They arent' cheap :)

Answer 1

well, depending on where you live, the filter may be unncessary entirely. but if you live in a place where the water is sketchy...i tend to think, yes, of course, the company will make it "red" early so that you buy more. but i also would not want to risk it. all that said, it is likely that your tap water is safe, so i would NOT stress about it.

Answer 2

No it's true. They need to be changed frequently. I got so fed up with it I went and bought a larger unit for under the sink.
