Like the old design better.
I've been using this filter for many years now and we feel good that PUR filters filter out more unhealthy stuff in the water than other brands do.

I'm currently a college student living with 5 other guys and we use Brita filter at the apartment.

Instead of buying those ridiculously-good-looking bottled Fiji water, I bought huge water containers and take water filtered from home to my school apartment and just drink it myself.
The only downside of Pur water filter is that it costs more than Brita filter. Being an Economics major, I calculated the cost of water per gallon (filtered). With each filter (Pur or Brita), it filters 40...
