PUR PLUS 30-Cup Water Filter Dispenser
Score: 78/100
Brita UltraMax
Score: 72/100Rankings
The PUR PLUS 30-Cup Water Filter Dispenser is a large-capacity pitcher featuring 3-in-1 filtration technology certified to reduce lead and microplastics. It offers a slim design suitable for refrigerator storage and includes a pull-down spout for easy dispensing. While it effectively reduces over 20 contaminants, it does not filter microbes and requires frequent filter replacements.
The Brita UltraMax is a large-capacity water dispenser designed for families and offices, offering 27 cups of filtered water to minimize refilling. It features a slim, fridge-friendly design and effective chlorine removal, though it lacks the advanced contaminant reduction of the Elite variant. It is best suited for busy households that prioritize volume and convenience over maximum filtration purity.
