Review on PUR PFM800HX: Cutting-Edge Horizontal Bluetooth MineralClear for Effective Filtering by Aaron Stewart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not professionals at all.

Media could not be loaded. Unlike all previous Pur faucet filters, this one doesn't have a quick release to get it out of the way when needed, it just screws on and can't even rotate. How you put it on your faucet, so it stays. After using filtered water and turning off the water, water drips out of the filter for 30 seconds, another problem I've never encountered with a pure faucet filter. There's also no vertical filter style, just a horizontal filter style, meaning it hides more access to your sink underneath. In order to use Bluetooth functionality, water must flow through the filter, wasting filter life and water. After the first use, you will be prompted to turn the water back on and keep it on to install the firmware update. Do not worry. Either the update fails and blocks the entire filter and Revain has to send you a new one which happened to me the first time, or it just sits there and says please wait, don't turn off the water until you're ready waiting. After over 15 gallons went through I gave up and turned it off. It wasn't blocked this time, but it still asks me to update it every time I use it, and that process used up 10% of my filter. Before you can use the app, you'll also need to enter your first name, last name, email address, gender, zip code, number of family members, and birthday. None of them are optional/can be skipped. Summary of all functions of the application. It tells you how many ounces/gallons went through the filter and gives you links to buy new ones. That's all. In the end I think I'll keep it as it at least filters the water but I wouldn't recommend anyone paying for this "premium" faucet mount. Just take one of the most important. They all use the same filters.
