 I really wanted to like these, but.... September 14, 2007

the cartridges do not last long enough for the price, even when they function properly. I am on my third cartridge. The first one worked well enough, but it only lasted a few days for my family of three. The second cartridge didn't work at all. The third cartridge dispenses about half of the time the button is pressed.
A few warnings:
---be prepared to push the flavor button several times to get any flavor at all
---the claim on the package that each cartridge can flavor up to 75 servings is absurdly optimistic
---the cartridge easily becomes dislodged from its resting place during use
---the pitcher must be refilled incessantly, as its filtered water compartment is quite small
---if you try to pour water while there is any water in the unfiltered reservoir, the lid will fall off
The good news is that the taste of the flavor additive is pretty nice, if you're accustomed to diet beverages.
I was hoping to keep a few water bottles out of the recyling bin or landfill and perhaps save a bit of money while doing so. I'm returning this product. I'll probably buy something similar in the future if a more reliable model is developed. Great idea, PUR, but poor execution....

Great flavor, kids like the taste. They especially loved the raspberry. However, I was disappointed with: 1) how many pumps it takes sufficiently flavor in the water (3-4 pumps/8 oz. cup), hence, 2) how often cartriges need replacement (about every 1-2 weeks in my house of 6). It says it's good for 75 uses... My kids are opposed to drinking plain water constantly and I purchased this as an alternative. Looks like I'll need more than 2 cartridges to keep the sanity around here. Although at this price... it might be worth it.

Flavor is ok, but that's irrelevant. The things jam up and do not work 90% of the time! At least in the pitchers... I don't know why or how, but I've tried fixing it and went through 4 bottle and they all stop working after a few days even though they are really full. The worst part was when I called Pur to point out the negative reviews of this and especially of some of their pitchers on Amazon, such as one that nearly everyone pointed out starts leaking from the bottom. I pointed this out in a nice way to show that it's a common and known issue. Since P&G spends millions on focus groups and such, I figured they'd be happy to have information handed to them. Nope..it's not their policy to look at online reviews, and all they could do is give me a coupon for some flavor bottle and a new pitcher...which started leaking again. The water is great but only if you keep it simple and stick to a no-frills plain shaped pitcher.
A little chemical tasting but still good September 26, 2007

I love the PUR faucet mounted water filter and saw the commercial for the flavorings and they seemed interesting. I have to say, I was a little dissapointed. I was expecting more of a realistic fruit taste and instead it tastes very artificial with that sort of fake sweetener aftertaste (a lot like those Fruit2O water bottles). All in all, its nice to have the option to add a little flavoring to the water, and I have found that the colder the water, the better the flavoring tastes. I don't think I will buy this again but I will continue using what I have.

I just love this flavor! It is the best out of the three. There is no after taste like there is in many flavored waters. The only problem I have with this product is that it does not last long. But I am still going to buy it!
