Our local water has begun to taste more and more like chlorine and our refrigerator's water filter does not do a good job removing the chlorine taste.  I decided to try the PUR 7 Cup Basic Pitcher to see if it could do better.  Such a big difference! No more chlorine taste, plus it removes more contaminants than the competition.  And I love the convenience and money savings over bottled water.  Plus the slim design takes up less room in my already over crowded refrigerator.  The filter is easy to install after a quick rinse and I love the easy open thumb latch for filling the pitcher.  Overall it's very convenient and is helping us with our family goal of drinking more water.  That's much easier to do when the water tastes great.
