Q: Is this PUR Plus Water Pitcher Replacement Filter - 3pk WQA Certified to filter lead? If so, why is it not labeled on the pack as with your older packs?
A: So do your filter pitchers once again have an option that filters lead?? Now I see the image of the box mentions lead filtration and I see that on other websites selling a lead filtering pitcher.
submitted bymikazuki81 - 2 years agoA: I’ve tried 2 of this filter and both of them filtered water extremely slowly after a week of use. I shake them but nothing changed. What’s the reason and how it can be fixed?
submitted byAmy - 2 years agoA: Does this fit the standard 11 cup Pur Pitcher?
submitted byNatalie - 2 months agoA: This confusion is created by Pur company intentionally. The excuse of the reformulation does not stand up. You should have change the name with the new formula to "Pur Less". Shame on Pur.
submitted byOnlyLogical - 3 years agoA: We apologize for any confusion. Effective August 1, 2024, our PUR lead-reducing filter (PPF951K) is available and certified for lead reduction.

A: Thanks for the information that Pur no longer provides the filter I want for my pitcher. I will pitch it and get a new pitcher from a different company.

Q: You do not sell reduces lead anymore?
A: This is really disappointing. Why should we pay the same price for a product that does less? Some of us have pull down spray nozzles and can't use the faucet filter. It makes me want to switch brands.
submitted bymikazuki81 - 3 years agoA: Thank you for your inquiry. Our PUR faucet mounts are still certified to remove lead, along with 70 other chemical and physical substances. We want to assure you that effective August 1, 2024, our lead-reducing PUR filters (PPF951K) are back in stock and available for purchase.
