PUR 7cup Water Pitcher Review/Give-Away

No. "6"

Pur Water Filtration System!  Wow!!  That sure is a mouthful (pardon the pun)!  Or is it?  This filtration has reduction of 2X more contaminants vs. Brita. 

Now, as you know I have a Give-Away going of the PUR "One-Click" faucet water filter to provide clean drinking wter at a reasonable cost of only $0.01 for an 8 oz. glass.  By switching from bottled water to PUR, consumers can save up to $1,000 per year.  HOT DOG!  I'M SOLD!  On top of valuable annual savings, PUR also helps the planet by reducing some of the 38 billion plastic water bottles that are discarded in the U.S. every year. 

PUR also offers water pitchers and water dispensers,which fit easily into the refrigerator.  Now as you all know I have nine beautiful grandchildren, and each one of them like something different as far as drinks.  I myself like ice tea or lemondade.  Hubby, he likes his green tea. In one study, 13 percent of Americans did not drink eight or more eight-ounce servings of water because of the unpleasant taste.  Now if you'll go over to my PUR "One-Click" faucet fileter Post you'll see the pictures of my coffee before and after.  HELLO???  ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION HERE? Do you want your family drinking that kind of water no matter what they're drinking?  Do you want to cook with that kind of water?  I SURE THE HELL DON'T AND I WON'T THANKS TO PUR!  I have pitchers in my frig one filled with water, and the other with ice tea or lemonade whatever I'm in the mood for.  When my babies come over we use the above pitcher for whatever they want if they're in the mood.  To learn more about PUR Water Filtration, please visit PURwater.com, Facebook.com/PUR or follow @PURtweets on Twitter.  To donate to the Chldren's Safe Drinking Water Program visit CSDW.org.
