What this jug is like to live with
What the PUR Plus actually removes
Taken from the manufacturer’s own reduction claims, with the evidence level stated.
Reduces
- Chlorine taste and smell
- Lead
- Mercury
- Copper
- Cysts
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Industrial pollutants
Does not reduce
Listed because it is the more useful half. Every cartridge on the market reduces chlorine taste; what separates them is what they leave behind.
Independently audited against a named standard by a certification body such as NSF, WQA or IAPMO, with the listing published and the factory subject to inspection. This is the strongest claim available.

PUR Plus 7-Cup Pitcher questions
Which filter fits the PUR Plus 7-Cup Pitcher?
The PUR Plus 7-Cup Pitcher takes the PUR Plus cartridge, which is what it ships with.
2 cartridge families fit it in total: PUR Plus, PUR Basic. The ones marked as third-party are built to the same fitting by other manufacturers and cost substantially less, at the price of any independent certification of what they remove.
How often does the PUR Plus 7-Cup Pitcher need a new cartridge?
The PUR Plus is rated at 40 gallons (151 L) · 2 months. That figure assumes average water — in a hard-water area the ion exchange resin is exhausted sooner, sometimes considerably sooner.
Volume is the honest measure rather than the calendar. A household of four reaches the rated throughput far quicker than one person does.
How much water does the PUR Plus 7-Cup Pitcher hold?
Capacity is 7 cups.
