3.0 out of 5 stars BUYER BEWARE!!, September 23, 2006

By	K. Oliver "K-Rock" (GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This item is actually great. But, beware. Iordered this item thinking it is going to be the CRF-950L like they advertise. But I was sent out the CRZ-950Z instead. They are the same filter, except that the L as a monitor top as it says in the description and the box has the word Ultimate on it. The 950Z has neither feature. Again, they are the same filter (as far as I can tell), but this is not what is advertised nor what I purchased. I am now on my second return with Amazon and will continue to return it untill they send me the correct item.

**EDIT 10-28-06** Well I have returned this item several times and got no where with amazon. The item was supposedly unavailable the last week or so and now has been brought back with a different picture and is now listed as a 950Z. But, beware the description still list it has having a monitor. The 950Z does not have a monitor to let you know when to change the filter. This is not the first time that I have noticed discription problems with Amazon. Though neither were so bad that I could not use the items, they were just not as expected or slightly off as described.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work with PUR200, December 25, 2006

By	Ajay Kalra (Yardley, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Original Review(12/25/06): I ordered 11 boxes of these and confirmed before ordering from PUR200 product manual that it will work. PUR200 came with the filter which has a red indicator that moves as you consume water/filter. I bought this knowing that this filter (CRF-950Z) does *not* have the red indicator. However after putting the filters in, the top water bucket does not seat properly. These filters are about .25 inch taller than the one with red indicator.

This is a major inconvenience and really is the fault of PUR. They should specify the PUR water coolers this filter will work in. It may very well work fine in filters where it will fit properly.

Update 12/27/2006: I called 800-PUR-LINE and just spoke to Procter & Gamble about this issue. They said they are aware of this problem and CRF-950Z will not fit water cooler(and likely any water cooler) made by KAZ(PUR200, PUR300). They also mentioned that they dont know how long it will be before this problem is rectified. In effect, there are no filters available for this unit right now. One has to wonder about the quality control at PG/KAZ. At least these guys should issue a product recall on this.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE! YOU WON'T GET WHAT YOU SEE!, January 4, 2007

By	F. Palmour - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I made the mistake of buying this, but what i got was not what is pictured. The filters that came did not have the little red indicator that goes around and shows you when the filter has reached the end of its life.

I sent it back, and the merchant returned my money but it was still a big hassle.

Again, PLEASE learn from my mistake. Don't buy this product because you won't get what is pictured.


P.S. I have done some checking and from what i can tell, PUR has discontinued this particular filter. The new one no longer has the life indicator. If so, this is the most stupid thing they could have done.
