    One must get a PUR water filter replacement according to the type of water filtration system that he has in the home.  There are pitcher versions, faucet mounted versions and refrigerator versions of these filters that all last for different lengths of time and cost different amounts of money to replace.  The PUR water filter replacement that is the most expensive to replace is the PUR refrigerator water filter, costing about thirty-five dollars to replace.  However, it also lasts the longest out of all the types of PUR water filter replacements, lasting up to six months before needing to be replaced.  The cost per month then is only about six dollars, which is very affordable in the long run and much less expensive than buying bottled water.
