I received the Pur 7cup pitcher for a product review and I love it. My favorite feature about it is the fax it reduces chlorine smell of the water which with all the treatments the water company does the smell is overwhelming and off-putting. Plus living in the country the taste of the here leaves much to be desired but with the max ion filter I feel safer letting my kids drink the water here. On the plus side the replacement filter's are so much cheaper than bottles of water for the year
