We have lived in several places where the quality of water has concerned me a bit. For years, we bought bottled water and wouldn't drink the water. Then we moved to a different part of Atlanta where the drinking water was much better. However, I still needed a filter for our water because I knew that there were still things that I wanted removed.
Did you know that when water leaves your city’s treatment facility it has the opportunity to pick up contaminants along its path to your kitchen faucet? This is the kind of thing that worried me. I knew that we needed a PUR® Advanced Faucet Filter so that I can give my family and myself the cleanest water possible. Not only did we get the faucet filter but we also have the PUR Ultimate 11-Cup Pitcher with LED that sits in our refrigerator at all times because my kids love cold water as much as I do.

I just learned that the water I drink everyday travels 147 miles to get to my faucet. Our water is also comprised of ground water and surface water. On its way, it can pick up things that are in the pipes transporting the water and so I learned about things that could be in our water. Here are some things that can be in your everyday drinking water:

PUR® Advanced Faucet FilterAfter learning more about what is in our water, this just reaffirmed my decision to use a PUR® Advanced Faucet Filter. The filter has just always been a part of our family. Our kids know that is how to get their drinking water: right from the filter or the pitcher in our fridge. The filter fits perfectly into our kitchen design (early 70's chic) and is incredibly easy to install/use.

I have had one of those system for years! I love them!! Its so easy to make fresh, refreshing water! I find we all drink more often because of it!
This is my first time to heard about the Pur, it looks really perfect for me.
I love this brand and we’ve been using this for years. It pays to know your family has access to clean drinking water all the time.
I love this brand. I remember it back when I lived in another state. I need to get this again. It gives you such great water.
I need to get a system like this. I love to drink water but hate all the empty water bottles.
I never thought about the contaminants water picks up along the way from the water treatment facility. I may have to get one of these filters.
I don’t like it when I can smell the chlorine in my water. Having a filter right on my tap sounds like a good idea. And it isn’t expensive either.
Before we had a filter on our fridge, I had a PUR water filter for years. They make the water taste amazing.
I love this brand!! I need to get this again, I haven’t use it in a while! It gives you such great water!
Wow what a great resource to learn about where your water comes from and what’s in it. My mom has one of these filters, I really need to get one.
This is a great system to have great tasting water from your tap. I have one and we love it. I no longer buy water bottles.
I do not drink any water without a PUR filter. Too many chemicals and spills and accident nowadays.
Wow! That video is down right scary. I knew there were contaminants but I had no idea there were that many. I never want to drink out of the tap ever again!
This looks like a great filter for faucet! Such a very helpful tool to make sure you are drinking safe water. Thanks for sharing this! Very informative!
I learned that my water comes from 5 possible sources. I don’t like the taste of my tap water and don’t drink it. I need one of these filters.
I’ve been seeing the commercials for this and I really am intrigued. I worry about our water since it has been in the news about how it could be unsafe.
A friend of mine has a similar system and raves a about it. I almost have my husband convinced to get one for us.
PUR Faucet Filtration Systems are certified to remove 99% of Lead. That is good to know.
I learned that there can be 100,000 contaminants in our water and only 103 of those are regulated. Wow!!!
I never knew there were so many steps and the containament problems grow with ageing pipes. I’d be curious to check my water.
I learnt about all of the contaminents in water! Gross!
I learned my water comes from CC FROM LEAVENWORTH WATER DEPARTMENT, 193 mile(s) from my home. It is made up of ground water and surface water.
That web site is amazing and scary! I didn’t know pesticides could be found in the water yuck! This is super informative and love that it shows your actual area
I love the idea of having this! I didn’t know it can filter 70 plus contaminants
Great system! We’ve had one for 3 years and its still working!
I’d love to get a PUR system. I have really hard water where I live.
I learned that my water source is likely 206 miles from where I live! Interesting site! Scary info too!

I didn’t know it could filter so many contaminants! That’s awesome.
Clean your water this would be nice to have
I read there can be 100,000 contaminates!
I learned the water might be safe when it leaves the facility but on the way to my house could become contaminated.
I learned that tap water has a lot more contamination than I thought.
We have a well and while t tests healthy, the taste? Not so great. I like that pur filters so many contaminates…that cant help but improve the taste of my water
Almost all US streams have at least one detectable pesticide
I learned just how many contaminants are actually in my water!! Thanks goodness for PUR water filters!!
