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.

PUR® Water Filter Pitchers

In terms of filtration performance, there are two types of PUR® water filter pitcher filters: PUR® basic pitcher filters (PPF900Z™) and PUR® plus pitcher filters (PPF951K™). Both types 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?
