I know I have mentioned before the scorching hot temps we get here in Southern Arizona and yesterday was no exception. It was going to be so hot that an “excessive heat” warning was issued.
During heat like this, it is critical to stay hydrated. Sometimes this is easier said than done. Before we moved to Arizona we lived in Montana. One of our favorite things about Montana was the crystal clear drinking water that came straight out of the tap. When we moved to Arizona it was a completely different story. The tap water here is piped in from all over the western states and is kind of murky and hard. Needless to say we have not really enjoyed drinking our local tap water So I was super excited to receive notice from Influenster that they had included me in the PUR Voxbox to receive a PUR faucet mount filter in order to test and review!
The PUR faucet mount filter was super easy to install and took a total of 5 minutes to hook up. My kids who heretofore have avoided tap water like it was the plague, were all waiting anxiously with their cups in hand to take their first sip of our new filtered water.
It did not disappoint! Our water now tastes amazing and I can tell a difference in how I feel now that I am drinking much more water than I had been previously. This is because the PUR filter removes 99% of Lead and 96 % of Mercury, reduces chlorine, and filters the water over natural minerals for a great taste. Plus it is super sleek looking with a stainless steel style!
Thank you Influenster and PUR! This is definitely a product we will make sure to always have in our home from now on! To learn more about PUR water filters, you can visit their website. If you would like to learn how you can become a part of Influenster, let me know and I will make sure to send you a linked invite.
P.S. Just in case you were wondering I received this PUR water filter for free in order to review, but all opinions are 100% my own!
Stay Happy! Stay Informed!
Love,
Jen

It is SO important to stay hydrated in this heat! How do you survive the summer?! Want to hear the kicker…we are going ot Vegas in July. I may melt…we’ll see. Great filter, we have one too!

Hah, we are heading there in a week. It’s even hotter there than here! Drink lots of water, we desert dwellers always have it on us and take no joy in watching non water drinkers drop like flies to heat stroke.

It gets hot here too, but nothing like the heat you get in Arizona. I’m glad you now have great tasting water. I know about that wonderful water up north. Yes indeed.
Have a fabulous day. ☺

Thanks Sandee! I still miss that water, but at least ours is now markedly improved!

Love the Hobbit meme. I do need to get a PUR filter.

I LOVE the picture on top. How funny. But this sounds like a really awesome product – my brother and his family will be moving soon, and they heard the tap water is pretty bad too. They might need this!

Oh yes those with bad tap water need this, it has made such a huge difference! Glad the Hobbit image gave you a laugh!

We have that photo cup! It hasn’t been very hot here lately, but our central air broke and I wondered – what would that be like to happen in the hot desert?? I’d run away, personally.
We need PUR here!

I think Princesses everywhere have that cup! I think we would be dead with no air, or maybe just me. The kids might survive, because they are young….. After owning a PUR now, I think everyone needs one :)

What a great box from Influenster! So handy having the purified water right there at the faucet.
Arizona is a dry hot right? Not crazy humid? I wonder what that feels like. Okay I know I sound crazy but here it is just such a sticky wet, crazy hot… I don’t think I have ever experienced anything different.
Thanks Beth! No weirdness at all! It definitely is a dry heat, well until our monsoon season hits and then it feels like it is 145 degrees with the addition of the humidity! I am not sure I would like to live in wet, hot and sticky all summer long,

That filter sounds awesome. Our tap water isn’t too bad, but my kids still don’t like drinking it. I try to keep water bottles full in the fridge so they can have something besides milk all the time.

I do the same thing! Doesn’t it always seem though like the bottled water gets taken out of the fridge faster than you can blink and then no one wants to drink the hot bottles out in the fridge and then they have to wait for them to cool….. Can you tell I am happy about our new purification system?

I have thought about getting one of these. I didn’t realize it was so easy to install. Thanks for the info. It’s already been a hot summer here but not as hot as in Arizona.
Melissa recently posted…When You Feel Like You Have Nothing Left to Give
Thanks Melissa! You totally should get one! I am really regretting the fact we never purchased one before I was gifted this great product! It will definitely be a part of our life going forward :)

Hi Jen, I thought it got hot over here, but it’s not often we hit 45C (probably only a couple of times in all the years I’ve lived here). At the moment we are having unseasonally low temperatures and we are making the most of it as it won’t be long until the nights are as hot as the days.
Staying hydrated is important for everyone,but even more so when we live in hot countries. We can’t drink the tap water here either; we have to buy our drinking water, so something like a PUR water filter would be wonderful. And if it encourages little ones to drink more water, then even better.

Haha! I remember when I lived in Spain for a while the water was terrible! I had to buy bottled water too, but I always had to make sure to clarify I wanted just regular water and not the bubbly kind. The bubbly kind just didn’t really take care of the whole hydration bit for me :)
I think a PUR would work nicely for you and truthfully we have been drinking more water, making less trash and saving money, all winning points for me!
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #39: Summer Lovin’
I can’t stand unfiltered water. Does that make me a brat? For some reason I can always taste the chlorine in tap water and it turns me off. Love the faucet mounted filter, and glad your kids loved it too!
Leslie recently posted…{Roundup} Patriotic Printables for Your Independence Day
I think I am right there with you, so let’s be water brats together! The chlorine is the worst and especially out here in the desert where it has oodles of the stuff in our water, blech!
