PUR CR-5000 Two-Stage Water Pitcher with Flavor Cartridge
When are water filter companies going to learn that when we filter water, we just want the water. My father’s a heart patient and can’t drink tap water because of the fluoride. Although the safety of fluoride is still being debated, what isn’t debated much any more is that it doesn’t do many things for the teeth or bones. In fact, it’s just an unnecessary additive. Why would anyone want to keep it in? Any Google search for fluoride will turn up all sorts of articles warning about its safety and efficiency.
I’d prefer just water. Pure, clean water. Keep the fluoride, chlorine and other additives. At least chlorine leeches out of the water in a matter of hours. Fluoride’s forever.

I bought this pitcher as a test to see if I would drink more water if it was filtered, and also to save us from lugging home the 24 packs of bottled water. We have a name brand under-sink filter (NOT reverse osmosis) that we’ve had for years, but the water still had a funny flavor. I like almost everything about this pitcher – it keeps the water chilled in the fridge, makes it palatable to both my son and I and has that added flavor cartridge bonus. Based on another review, we do lift the little silver flap on the pitcher before we pour to allow the flavoring to dispense without any issue, but that works great. I’m on our 3rd flavor cartridge and have no problems with clogging issues – we’ve had lemon and raspberry and both are good. We do have to squirt about 5-6 times in a typical large glass or metal bottle to get any flavor, but it’s not an issue for us. I have 3 metal bottles from Target that I just cycle through so that I always have a clean one. Works great for us and my 8 year old son definitely prefers this over bottled water. The only downside is that it does not hold a lot of filtered water, so you are refilling it often, but it’s slim so it doesn’t take up much fridge space. One last thing – you can buy the flavor cartridges and new cartridges at your local Target store, and I like the fact that it alerts you on the pitcher when it’s time to change the filter – don’t need one more thing to keep track of

My daughter begged for this since it came out. She loves water but our building has poor water pipes and it leaves the water tasting nasty. While we didnt order this on any website we brought it in a local department store. In the 2 days that we’ve had this thing we both love it and can drink water again. So far we’ve only tried Strawberry flavor and its good. You do have to work the button abit to get the flavor to come out but once its out you dont have to work so hard the next time. Yes it does have to be refilled alot but id refilled it a 1million times if it means saving money and bottles in a landfill..

I pretty much only drink flavored water (although i do enjoy Blue Mtn Dew & Coffee) so i thought I’d buy the cartridges and the pitcher to save money & cut down on my plastics consumption in an effort to do my own part.
i have had little to no problems with this product and will continue to buy these cartridges as long as they are on the market.
**The very minor problems i have had with this product include:
-the short life of the cartridges…they lasted about a week each, BUT i was drinking nearly a pitcher full (or more) a day, so that’s actually pretty good seeing as how i like to add quite a bit of flavor.
-it takes a while to get used to, because you can’t easily tell how much flavor your adding, but once you get use to it that stops being a problem.
-Lastly, the raspberry cartridge that came with the pitcher did not want to work at first BUT None of the other cartridges have done that to me.
**The Bonuses that i found when using this product include:
-Using less plastic bottles
-creating less trash/waste
-no longer having to carry heavy packages of water bottles into my home
-They freed up a lot of fridge space, witch is nice even though my fridge is fairly large
-multiple flavors to choose from (i recommend strawberry) and you can switch them out whenever
-the water tastes great weather you use the flavor cartridge or not.
One thing i am slightly undecided about:
-if you want plain water-don’t push the button…well ok this will work as long as there isn’t any flavor sitting in the flavor catcher waiting to meet up with the water. it’s a little easier to dispense the flavor when some is sitting in the catcher…but it makes it harder to get plain water
this is eaisly fixed however by doing 1 of the following:
1-clean out the catcher before trying to pour plain water, its easy but you can waste alot this way
2-pour a glass of flavored water for you, someone else, or for later
3-Or just don’t let the catcher stay filled up when not in use
OVER ALL
i reccoment this product to anyone that drinks a lot of flavored water

I bought this because I like flavored water but it is expensive for a six pack. I am drinking this flavored water instead of pop. So I saw this and figured this would save me some money.
Problem is that the design of the flavor “cartridges” is terrible. Pressing the button does nothing. I have to take the cartridge out and manually squeeze it into my cups.
It came with raspberry which in my opinion is a poor choice of a flavor. Not my favorite at all, I am only using it because I paid for it. I bought an extra package of Lemon to try when the raspberry runs out.
Like others said the pitcher really doesn’t hold a lot of water. I am constantly refilling it. It also takes awhile for it to filter the water. While there is water in the filter portion you cannot use the pitcher.
All in all, a good idea, not implemented that well. Seriously thinking about just going back to buying my water.
