History The Pur brand was created and products invented by Minneapolis-Based Recovery Engineering, Inc., which was sold to Procter & Gamble in 1999 for approximately US$213 million. Outdoor products under the Pur brand were sold to Katadyn USA, and the Minneapolis manufacturing plant for all Pur products was closed in 2004. P&G sold Pur to Helen of Troy in January 2012 for an undisclosed amount.

P&G maintained ownership of the products sold in various countries as a form of humanitarian aid under the Children's Safe Drinking Water program. These no longer use the Pur brand name.
