Product review (1 stars): This is what the filtered water smelled like and tasted nasty (I tasted it before I smelled ...
I tried drinking this after dumping the first two gallons as instructed.  I have been using the PUR filters for four years.  It smelled funky and then I realized that I smelled something similar before: when I changed out a J bend under the sink.  The stagnant water in a PVC Pipe.  This is what the filtered water smelled like and tasted nasty (I tasted it before I smelled it).  To charge forty something dollars for this "filter" should be criminal.
