Well, I've been wondering when I would write an unfavorable review. And I'm sorry to say I have it!
Two weeks ago, we bought a new water filter, made by PUR. Because I was in a hurry--our old filter had started leaking; tinkering on our part led to its ultimate demise--I had done no research going into the purchase. I basically stood in the aisle of Fred Meyer, comparing shiny new boxes and accompanying pictures of happy men and women drinking clear, clean water. Something about PUR caught my eye--I think it was the fact they donate a portion of sales to children in developing nations--and so I went with it. At first, I couldn't have been happier! Our water tasted great. The sleek chrome fixture blended nicely with our faucet. Unlike our previous counter top filter, this one seemed totally unobtrusive. And when my mother called that night, telling me PUR had just been rated #1 by so-and-so, I couldn't have been more pleased! A rare impulse buy had turned out well, after all.
Well. That was two weeks ago. In the time since, what started as a nice stream of filtered water running from the tap has slowed to an agonizing trickle. Actually, trickle doesn't cut it--we're talking a drop-by-drop scenario here. I'm so upset! I plan on contacting the company in the next day or two and will let you know what happens. In the meantime, if you're looking for a top-notch water filter, I can wholeheartedly recommend our previous one, damaged after three years by no one but ourselves: Aquasana.
Check 'em out!
They generally last a month or a 100 gallons. The filter might have run its course.

I have used them for 3 years and love them, you make have some nasty pipes or your water is unusually full of things to filter! I would take it off and clan the part attached to your faucet and then remove the filter screen in the base and make sure that's clear. Sounds like a fluke to me!
