PUR had something going on during the shortages of the pandemic for awhile. Their original boxes (dark blue) said it could filter out microorganisms like microbial cysts, giardia iamblia, and cryptosporidium. There was a shortage of replacement filters for quite awhile for PUR systems and they were hard to find but when they came back they were now in a new box (teal) and they no longer say they can remove the microorganisms. I know this because I kept the original blue box and am looking at it now.
I bring this up because I never could figure out why or what happened with PUR but always thought of how there were rumors of gov wanting to put things in the water (vaccines) or how the vaccines contained parasites. Maybe someone sued them for thinking it could filter out Covid and they still got sick, lol? PUR is still around, but they had to change something they were doing. I still use them and they seem to be good so for those who need an alternative to the expensive Berky. They are better than a Brita - who by the way wants to eliminate their competition and tried blocking competitors business.
Also, there are a ton of tutorials out there on how to make your own filters and there are even refillable ones just like the Brita and PUR brand.
