Clean water is essential for maintaining good health, and pitcher
water filters are a popular way to ensure that your drinking water is free of impurities. There are several brands
of pitcher water filters available, including PUR®, Zerowater®, and Brita®. In this blog post, we will introduce you
to Aquacrest’s replacement filters for these pitchers and explain why they are a great choice for your home.
Working Principles of Pitcher Water Filters
All water filter pitchers work on the same basic
principle of
filtration. When water passes through the filter cartridge, it encounters a filter medium that restricts,
absorbs,
or rejects impurities. The filter media used can vary depending on the manufacturer and model, with some filters
using physical filtration techniques, while others utilize chemical filtration techniques.
However, due to their small size, these pocket-sized filters can
treat only a small amount of water and need to be replaced every one or two months to maintain their effectiveness.
Over time, old filters can become clogged with impurities and
bacteria, which can affect the taste and quality of your water. Additionally, filters that are past their expiration
date may not be as effective at removing contaminants, which can pose a health risk to you and your family. To
ensure that you always have clean and safe drinking water, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations and replace your pitcher water filter as needed.

of filters are compatible with all PUR® pitchers and dispensers, and have a lifespan of up to 40 gallons or 2
months.
How do you replace a PUR® pitcher filter?
Follow these easy steps to set up, install, or replace a filter in
your pitcher or dispenser:
For PUR® Plus filter with lead reduction: Soak the filter in cold
water for 15 minutes. Then, hold the filter under cold running tap water for 10 seconds and let the excess water
drain.
For PUR® basic filter: Rinse the PUR® filter under cold water for
15 seconds.
Then, insert the filter into the tray and push down while twisting
it clockwise to lock it in place. If you insert the filter prior to putting the tray in the pitcher, firmly hit the
bottom of the filter to ensure it is securely in place.
