Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your new PUR Plus Water Filter Replacement:
- Soak Filter: Submerge the new filter in cool water for 15 minutes. This helps to prime the filter and remove any air bubbles.
- Rinse Filter: After soaking, rinse the filter under cold tap water for 10 seconds.
- Insert and Lock: Insert the filter into your PUR pitcher or dispenser system. Twist the filter to lock it securely into place. The LockFit design ensures a tight seal, preventing unfiltered water from mixing with filtered water.
- Fill Reservoir: Fill the upper reservoir of your pitcher or dispenser with cold tap water. Allow the water to filter through completely.
- Reset Filter Indicator (if applicable): If your PUR system has a filter change indicator, press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds until it turns green. This resets the timer for your new filter.

To ensure continuous optimal performance and water quality, it is crucial to replace your PUR Plus Water Filter regularly.

Always use genuine PUR Plus filters. Generic or 'look-alike' filters are not tested or certified to provide the same level of filtration as genuine PUR products.

Troubleshooting
Slow Filtration Rate:
- Ensure Proper Soaking: Make sure the filter is fully submerged in cool water for the recommended 15 minutes before first use or replacement. Inadequate soaking can lead to air pockets that slow down filtration.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the filter for 10 seconds under cold tap water after soaking to remove any loose carbon particles and improve flow.
- Check for Clogging: Over time, filters can become clogged with trapped contaminants. If the filtration rate becomes significantly slow before the recommended replacement period, it may indicate a high level of contaminants in your water, and the filter might need to be replaced sooner.
- Verify Installation: Ensure the filter is correctly inserted and twisted to lock into the pitcher/dispenser. A loose connection can affect filtration efficiency.
