PUR 3 Stage Horizontal Faucet Water Filter FM-9400

Although faucet-mounted water filters are more convenient than pitcher-style filters and filter out more contaminants, we found a lot more complaints about this style -- especially about leaks. However, the Pur 3 Stage Horizontal Faucet Water Filter FM-9400, along with other Pur faucet filters, earns high marks for filtering out many more contaminants than competing models. Independent tests show it filters out 99 percent of pharmaceuticals. This filter is also easy to install and earns top ranking when it comes to water taste. If you don't need to filter out 30 contaminants, the Kenmore Single Undersink Drinking Water System 38454 (*Est. $60) conveniently filters water through a dedicated faucet.
