The PUR Basic Pitcher Water Filter holds 7 cups of delicious water for drinking and cooking. The filtered water tastes as good as any other water filter pitcher that I have tried. The pitcher is small enough to fit inside the door of most full size refrigerators for easy access, and holds enough water to fill up a few cups, before needing to refill. The filter is easily replaced when needed and the container is easy to clean. I will continue to use this pitcher for my drinking water instead of buying expensive bottled water. The PUR Basic Pitcher Water Filter is a must have for anybody that prefers filtered great tasting water.
