When/how often should I change my Pur water filter?
The Pur plus filter for pitchers and dispensers is designed to filter 40 gallons of water, or approximately 1-2 months for the average family. The Pur plus replacement filters that we sell have an indicator on the top that tells you when to replace the filter. For 2 gallon pitchers the filter needs to be replaced when the red dot is lined up with the triangle mark on the top of the filter. For the gallon pitchers the filter is full when the red dot has rotated fully in the clockwise direction when viewed from above. Be aware that the pitcher or dispenser must be used according to you owners manual for the indicator to work properly. If in doubt, put in a new filter.
