PUR Basic Faucet Mount
Every replacement cartridge that fits the PUR Basic Faucet Mount, what each one is certified to remove, and whether the unit will go on your faucet at all.
The same body as the PLUS unit at a lower price. It takes the PLUS cartridge too, so the cheaper unit plus the better cartridge is usually the sensible combination.

Will it fit your faucet?
Read this before anything else. The cartridge choice is easy; whether the unit goes on your tap at all is not, and no adapter fixes the ones that do not.
Standard threaded faucet
A plain cylindrical spout whose aerator unscrews. This is what every faucet-mount filter is designed for, and adapters for the common thread sizes are usually in the box.
Pull-out or pull-down sprayer
The spout head detaches and pulls out on a hose. No faucet-mount filter fits these, and no adapter makes them fit — the head is not threaded for it and the hose will not carry the weight.
Wide or square spray head
A flattened or squared-off spout. The filter body needs a round threaded collar to clamp onto and there is nothing here to grip.
Touchless or sensor faucet
The sensor and the solenoid sit where the filter would go, and the added back-pressure upsets the flow control. Treat as incompatible.
Cartridges that fit the PUR Basic Faucet Mount
In recommended order: what it ships with first, then better-certified alternatives, then the third-party cartridges built to the same fitting.
PUR Basic Faucet Filter
The cheaper PUR faucet cartridge. Taste and odour, without the lead certification.
