PUR Faucet Mount Filter Performance Data Sheet
This document details the performance of PUR Faucet Mount Filter systems, including models FM2000B, FM3333B, FM2100B, FM2500V, FM2700G, FM2800N, FM3700B, FM4000B, and replacement filters RF3375™ and RF9999™. These systems have been tested according to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401 for the reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 401. Reduction claims for organic chemicals are included by chloroform surrogate testing.
Filter Capacity for Faucet Mount Models: 100 Gallons. Rated service flow for Faucet Mount Filter Models: 0.52 gallons per minute. Maximum usable water temperature: 82°F (28°C). Minimum usable water temperature: 34°F (1°C). Maximum working pressure: 100psig. Minimum working pressure: 20psig. Refer to the owner's manual for more information.

* As of 9/1/2025 Brita® and ZeroWater® were not certified to filter microbes. Brita® is a trademark of Brita LP. ZeroWater® is a trademark of Zero Technologies, LLC.
+ NSF Standard 401 has been deemed as "incidental contaminants/emerging compounds." Incidental contaminants are those compounds that have been detected in drinking water supplies at trace levels. While occurring at only trace levels, these compounds can affect the public acceptance/perception of drinking water quality.
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users' water. This PUR Faucet Mount Filter is not intended to purify water. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Individuals requiring water of certain microbiological purity should consult their physician.
