Ok, Good, Great
Price is a little [costly](ok), Installation was fairly easy (good), Water is clean and tastless(great).
I have tried many filtration system (piture, sink, countertop) and I do like this the best. Does not take up room in fridge, no clunkie faucit attachment, and great filtration.
Don't bother installing this PUR filter kit
PUR has not only discontinued the undercounter/countertop filter kit, but it has also discontinued the replacement filter cartridges. Gee, thanks a lot, Proctor & Gamble (the new owners of PUR)!
If you go through the trouble to install an PUR PLUS undercounter kit (requiring a hole drilled into the sink to install the dispenser gizmo), then the whole kit goes to pot when you find that you cannot locate any replacement CTRF-5050 cartridges.
There are several sellers on eBay selling the normally $25 cartridge for double the price, but you would be well advised to go look for some other major brand undercounter kit for which you can still purchase replacement filters. Paying a premium for leftover PUR filters is money wasted that could have been spent on getting a entire new kit, as no one else makes a compatible replacement filter for the old PUR countertop or undersink unit.

Nice filter, but for a discontinued unit
This filter fits a Pur undersink cartridge system that's no longer being made. That said, the unit has worked nicely for me for almost 10 years now. The filter will exhibit somewhat reduced flow as it starts to get clogged, and will just shut off completely when it's no longer useful. You don't have to be concerned about whether it's expired; it'll let you know in this very simple fashion.
The cartridge mounts on the wall under the sink. To replace the filter you pop the cartridge off the mount, unscrew the cap at the base, and turn on the water JUST A BIT to push out the old filter. Then pop in the new filter, screw the cap on, and hang the cartridge back on the wall. You're good for the next few hundred gallons of pure drinking water.
Newer units are generally bigger than this. Since I bought a house with a mammoth, industrial quality garbage disposal in the kitchen, I didn't have much room left under the sink. This has worked well for me, and I'm glad...
