Hi everyone. My name is Rebecca and I'm a sodaholic. It's really quite sad. Everyday I have at least two sodas. Aside from the money we spend (even though we buy them on sale) it's just not good for us. I've tried the water deal, but I'm not big on plain water. 'm not really big on water tasting like nothing. Bottled water too can get expensive and I really don't trust out local water. I've also seen the investigative reports, most bottled waters are not any better than what comes out of the tap. I was so glad I got the chance to review the PUR Flavor Options Water Filter Pitcher system. What a way to kill all those birds with one stone!
Do you know what may be in your drinking water? I checked out PUR's website on this and it's kind of disturbing. Of course all of this will probably depend on where you live but it gives you an idea. I'll start out with stuff you probably already had an idea about. There's chlorine. Of course we know that chlorine is put in to somewhat clean the water. And then there's sediment (rust). This can be runoff or simply from your pipes if you live in an old house. Let's go into what you might not have known. There could be agricultural pollutants. This is runoff from herbicides and insectasides that enter the water. There also could be microbial cysts. These come from both human or animal fecal matter. There's the possiblity of lead. This, again, can come from old pipes. Industrial pollutants can come from discharge from factories and chemical plants. And I saved the most grounding for last. I could, but couldn't believe there was the possibility of this being in our drinking water. It's pharmasuticals. In March 2008, the Associated Press published a report that found various pharmasutical compounds in the water of 24 metropolitan areas across the US. Scary enough, most water treatment plants can remove these from the water.
I'll let you marinate on those facts from PUR for a minute. Thank goodness this PUR pitcher will help filter out that grossness! This pitcher will actually reduce 96% of the pharmasutical crap. So that in itself should give you piece of mind.
Let's discuss the money issue here. If you buy bottled water for your family, think about how much you spend. Now look at this, the PUR Water Filtration together with a refillable bottle saves up to $600 per person annually. So if you're a family of 4, that's $2,400. Think about what you could do with $2,400! Also, on the green side, this will save 3,200 plastic water bottles from the world every single year!
It should also make you feel good that with each purchase of a PUR filter, a donation is made to Children’s Safe Drinking Water which has, to date, provided over 1 billion liters of clean water to needy children and their families around the world. So, PUR is helping ensure every person can have a clean glass of water to drink.
I absolutely love this concept! Of course if it saves money, you know I'm all for it!
Walmart sells the PUR Flavor Options Water Filter Pitcher system for $29.44 and the 2-pack flavor cartridges are $9.97. Each cartridge gives 75 servings. If you would like to save up to $7 on the system ($5 on the pitcher $2 on the cartridges) click HERE and have PUR mail you the coupons!
PUR has been kind enough to give one of my lucky readers (US Residents only) PUR Flavor Options Water Filter Pitcher system. Want to win!? Here's how!

I am so glad they now have the flavor pitcher option. I don't like the faucet filters and love that they have the pitcher filter with flavor.
I would love to try the Raspberry flavor.
