CRF-950Z PUR 2-Stage Pitcher Filter

The PUR 2-Stage Pitcher Filter CRF-950Z is a New and Improved filter that replaces the Obsolete PUR CRF-950.

The CRF-950Z does not fit the PUR Advanced Filtering Water Cooler manufactured by Kaz, Inc.

The PUR CRF-950Z fits the following PUR pitchers & dispensers:

• PUR 2-Stage (previously known as "Ultimate")
  • PUR CR-800 & CR-830 8-Cup Pitchers
  • PUR CR-900 & CR-930 10-Cup Pitchers
  • PUR DS-1800 1.9 Gallon Dispenser

• PUR 1-Stage (previously known as "Advantage")
  • CR-1500 R Oval Pitcher
  • CR-1510 Rectangular Pitcher

What's the difference between the CRF-950Z and the older CRF-950?

• The O-ring on the CRF-950Z is slightly thicker than on the CRF-950
  • This improves the seal considerably, but also requires slightly more force to install the filter

• The troublesome automatic filter change indicator has been removed and replaced by a round stick-on "PUR Filter Life Calendar"
• The CRF-950Z is taller than the CRF-950, so it will not fit the PUR Advanced Filtering Water Cooler manufactured by KAZ.

PUR Two Stage Filtration Process:

• Stage 1: Water is passed through an Ion Exchange Resin and Activated Carbon Microfilter to reduce lead, chemicals linked to increased cancer risk (TTHMs, benzene), copper, cadmium, chlorine, sediment, bad taste, and odor.
• Stage 2: Water is passed through a Pleated Microfilter to reduce 99.95% of the microbiological cysts cryptosporidium and giardia

The PUR 2-Stage Pitcher / Dispenser Filter CRF-950Z will filter up to 40 gallons of water, and should last 1-2 months (depending on usage).

PUR CRF-950Z Filter Installation

1. Start by removing your used filter
2. Next, open up the new filter package, but don't remove the shipping retainer yet. You'll get to do that later.
3. Soak the new filter in cold tap water for 15 minutes
4. After it's done soaking, hold it upright under cold running water for 10 seconds to flush
5. After it's flushed, allow the excess water to drain
6. Now it's time to remove the shipping retainer, and install the filter
7. To insert the filter into your pitcher or dispenser, line up the filter tabs with the grooves in the blue pour tray, and twist the filter 45 degrees clockwise to seal (1/8 of a turn). The filter should go in easily, so make sure it's lined up, and try not to force it.
8. Now fill the pour tray completely with cold water and you're all set

Notes:

• You may find harmless carbon dust in the first gallon of filtered water. This is normal. Just pour the water out and refill.
• The O-ring on the CRF-950Z is slightly thicker than on the older CRF-950. This improves the seal considerably, but also requires slightly more force to install the filter.
