PUR PFM800HX: Cutting-Edge Horizontal Bluetooth MineralClear for Effective Filtering Review

This is a terrible product. This is my third water filter with a polyurethane sink; the first lasted a couple of years, the second less than a year and this one was delivered five months ago and has fallen apart inside and is spouting water in all directions. I spent extra money on a chrome model, assuming it would be metal and not leaking through cracks like the last plastic model, and figured I'd love the iPhone app - not that useful. I'm a single adult man, I live alone with my dog, so I'm…

I had an old one, it was starting to slow down so I bought a new one, this one I like the bluetooth function because it tells you how much water you are drinking or how much water has been run is out through the filter and also allows you to find out how long the filter lasts; To me it's a cool feature, just find it a bit silly that they made a sealed battery so it can never be replaced so if it dies the bluetooth function disappears. I wish it would change one thing about it, it would be even…

I have no idea why this has so many bad reviews. Mine exceeded ALL my expectations.1. Easy installation.2. No leaks.3. The Bluetooth app is just phenomenal. I was wondering how useful a bluetooth app for faucets could be, but they managed to make one and it's excellent. Not only does it show the percentage of filter remaining, but it also has a real-time flow meter that tells you exactly how many ounces of water you're running through the filter. Not only that, but it also independently tracks…

I've been using polyurethane faucet filters for years and love them so I decided to upgrade and get the latest bluetooth filter feature and I can say it's just awful. To connect your mobile device to the filter, you must first run water through the filter so you blow your precious filter while you wait for it to connect! It works when you plug it in for the first time, but as soon as you try to update the firmware via your mobile device, the filter indicator stops working and the bluetooth…

After a year my last Pur filter for tap water leaked and became unusable. I'm very careful with the water filter so this was quite unexpected. Part of the faucet would actually spray unfiltered water in the path of the filtered water! So I bought this new Pur Filter System. First, while it has that nifty Bluetooth system that tells you when to change the filter, it looks the same as the previous system that costs half the price. Another thing is that when I turn off the filtered water lever…

This filter replaces one we have had for several years. The firmware had to be updated upon installation, which can be problematic depending on your phone or tablet, but isn't fatal. My LG phone has been trying unsuccessfully to update the firmware for about an hour, resulting in the filter being "jammed". (No light, no app info, etc) but I found it connected for a few seconds when switching to filtered water, so I downloaded the app to another device and it immediately connected and the…

We had several of these devices from PUR. In the past they seemed like a decent quality device. However, the last two or three didn't even make it past a pack of 6 replacement filters before either leaking or refusing to acknowledge the filter change (always flashing red). We thought we just got the "lemons" and gave them another chance. The latter didn't even last 2 months (didn't even get to ONE filter change) without causing several leaks and not completely separating the unfiltered from the

I really liked the clear water from the kitchen sink. Goodbye water bottles! Unfortunately the upper has torn in two places at the seams and is now splashing water back and forth and sideways unless we keep the pressure really low. It took almost exactly 100 days before it stopped holding water. During this time I changed the filter twice. The Bluetooth app was fun, but we only used it for the first week. $40 for the system and another $20 for two more filters is only $60 for water for 3…

We've been using polyurethane faucet water filters for about 10 years (maybe longer?). When I realized how much waste we create from plastic bottles, I decided that we need to change something. At first the PUR block we had was great! Our first unit probably lasted 5 years or more and only had to change the filter itself every few months. I decided a few years ago to buy a new, nicer filter. Since then I've bought at least 3 of these. They just don't last. The seal or O-ring bursts and the…

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…
