PUR Flavor Options Pitcher Review

I am a VERY picky water drinker. I like natural spring water the best. I buy a lot of bottled water. Here in Florida, the tap water tastes nasty and I never drink it. We use it to cook, clean and make lemonade and iced tea with, but not to drink plain. On the other hand, living in hot, steamy Florida means we must drink water daily to stay hydrated. I have witnesses too many cases of heat exhaustion and heat stroke not to keep my family drinking water.

When I saw that they were looking for bloggers to review the PUR Flavor Options Pitcher, I jumped at the chance. I have always wanted to try this product but, I was afraid to buy it and then not like it. I received the pitcher and raspberry and lemon Flavor Options bottles. None of us drink flavored water but we were all willing to give it a try.
We read the directions, filled the reservoir with water and let it do its work over night. The next day, instead of opening another bottle of water we all tried the PUR water without the flavor options. My husband and kids said it tasted fine, better than the tap water, but I am the super picky one. I agreed with them, it is a great improvement over our nasty tap water, but it still was no match for my bottled water. Next we tried the Lemon Flavor Options in varying quantities. It is nice that you can add as much or little flavor as you like. My 14yo is the only one who really liked the flavored water.

We have concluded that my husband and sons will continue to drink the PUR water and we have begun using the filtered water to make our lemonade and iced tea with, which makes them taste much better! I am continuing to drink my bottled water. We figure we will be buying about 50% fewer bottles of water (since I have always been the main consumer of this item) so we are still saving money and landfill space by using the PUR Flavor Options Pitcher.
