Earlier this year, or more likely towards the tail end of last year, we posted an article about the PUR Pitcher Water Filter with PUR Flavor Options which boasts certification to NSF Standards 42 and 53… and doesn’t cost a small fortune.

As we quickly discovered, though, the real appeal of this unit to most people lies in its ability to impart a variety of flavors into the water (i.e. strawberry, grape and lemon). In the words of someone we met recently while looking at water filters in a local department store — because we had nothing better to do while waiting to get tires put on the car — “The taste of truly clean tasting water bores me. I truly prefer the flavored brands of filtered water in the stores and if something like this ( CR-5000 PUR Pitcher Water Filter with PUR Flavor Options ) can make my water taste better, think of the cash I’ll save on bottled water!”

Why did we bring this product back into the limelight? Quite simply, a reader named Mark asked, “is your PUR Pitcher Water Filter with PUR Flavor Options available at stores in montreal, Canada? thank you”

Well, Mark, we would imagine that you could find a local merchant that carries the CR-5000 PUR Pitcher Water Filter, but we cannot say which one.

We tried using the ‘locate a store’ function on the PUR corporate site but got nowhere since we don’t know any specific zip codes in Montreal.
