Which filter to buy??? What is the difference between this PUR filter 4396841 for $35, the cheaper Pur PBSS one for $29 or the 4396710 for $35???

If all the filters are original PUR* replacement filters, the filter medium will be the same. Someone has posted that the PBSS filter is inferior to the others, but I see no data to back up that assertion. The difference is in the amount of water they can filter before recommended replacement and the flow rate. The "universal" PBSS filter is rated at 100gal. capacity and 0.5GPM flow rate. The 4396710 is rated 200gal. capacity and 0.5GPM flow rate. The 4396841 is rated 200gal. capacity and 0.85GPH flow rate. Strangely, both the 100 & 200 gal. capacity models are recommended for 6 months replacement. You would think the 200gal. models would last longer. Some whirlpool refrigerators offer what's called "fast-fill" systems, which dispense the water almost twice as fast as "normal" systems. It stands to reason that the 4396841 would be best if you want/need the higher flow rate. It also stands to reason that the lower flow rate models probably filter better since the cartridges (and presumably the filter mediums) are exactly the same size (educated opinion). I have decided on the 4396710 for my refrigerator. I researched a lot for this answer, I hope it helps.

not sure. The last ones I ordered were Berkey SSCF-7 7-Inch Ceramic Replacement Filters, 2-Pack. I picked them because they are reuseable stainless steel. and I think they were about $49. do a comparison first

I thought the same thing when I ordered. I was mislead by the numerous reviews that went on and on and on and others commenting that "50250N is the same thing" --- NO, IT IS NOT. Amazon is selling the 50250S model --- as noted in Amazons "Product Description". I spent most of my time reading the reviews which I suspect are there to skew the readers impression of what they will actually be receiving. ***THIS IS NOT A LIFETIME HEPA FILTER THAT YOU ARE PURCHASING WITH THIS MODEL HERE****50250S, the item being sold here and linked with these reviews, only has a long life Hepa filter, NOT a lifetime hepa filter.

The less expensive one is just a paper filter. I've noticed that some of the more expensive ones contain carbon to filter out odors. Wasn't really a deal breaker for me. I just wanted to minimize construction dust.

Sorry haven't had to replace the filter as of yet. I bought this for my mother-in-law for Xmas. But if you didn't get replacement filters w/your PUR faucet, look online w/Amazon or go online w/Home Depot or Lowe's to see if they have them. That is what I would do. Hope this helps!

To my knowledge FM is the faucet mount number. The filters for pur fit all the models and anyone should be OK.The RF 9999 is the high end and costs more.

It's best to take your old filter with you & compare or look on the side of your vac for the number of your filter replacement. That's where I found what to buy. I learned the hard way that there are many different ones.

The one I purchased is not like the one shown. Filters in mine were like $50, not worth it. I could get them at my local Oreck Store.

I can't see the price beside your question and it has been a while since I purchased this filter. I am almost certain that Amazon was the most reasonable of all the vendors that I checked before buying.

Also, cost about $25 t0 $30 from iSpring. Free shipping and cheaper by the pair. They also sell sets of 3 years of filters except for the UV lamp. Best deal I have found.

I'm not 100% sure, but it probably is the same filter. The filter (from Amazon) is made by Pur so the "P" probably represents "PUR," and is most likely their way of keeping track of part numbers. I hope this helps.

Look under Brita Replacement Filters for UltraMax. My larger filters are for PUR.

There are 2 different filters you can buy for FM 3700B Pur Faucet Filtration System.. #1 is the 3 stage #RF-9999 which is on Amazon for a pack of 3 for $27.97 and #2 is the 2 stage #RF3375 for $11.99 for one...They both fit Model #FM3700B..the 3 stage is better because it filters out more junk from your water..Hope this was helpful for you..Barb

I have the blue and green. Both are the same just different color models. Both have the same filters. Cost varies from time to time and from seller.
