ZeroWater 10-Cup Ready-Pour Round 5-Stage Water Filter Pitcher with 5-Stage 0 TDS Water Filter – IAPMO Certified to Reduce Lead, Chromium, and PFOA/PFOS

Where I live, the faucet water tastes horrendous. Using a standard Brita filter does nothing for the water. I've had to resort to purchasing gallons water and refilling bottles at the grocery store with RO or alkaline water. Even though it's relatively affordable to refill water, it was becoming tedious to continually make the effort to lug all my water jugs. I did some research and found this to be one of the best water filters on the market on the basis that it removes particulates as measured in parts per million (ppm). I was also surprised to see such an effective water filter to be so affordable. The size of the filter alone made me believe that it really does effectively remove particulates. The filter is much larger than the Brita for example and it shows me that it has better filtration technology. My water does pull 0 ppm and it genuinely does taste better.

I live in my RV in a large park which is on well water. I routinely buy Kona and Blue Jamaica Peaberry coffees, among others. I brew up single cups at a time from freshly roasted whole beans in a burr grinder and use a French press.In the past I've tried different bottled waters and noticed big changes in the coffee taste. This got me wondering about how to come up with a consistent high quality water for the coffee.I was debating about installing a 6 stage reverse osmosis system but didn't really want to do the plumbing work and fit it under the sink. During research for that I heard about the ZeroWater products. Because the cost/risk is so low, I decided to try it out. Wow. Just wow.First, you get a good TDS meter with the pitcher. Municipal water came in at 198 PPM. I then tested the well water at the park and it came in at 52 PPM (!!). This is extraordinary and further research revealed that the park also uses extensive UV to destroy bacteria in the well water. Without the included TDS meter I never would have know just how good the park water already is.Nevertheless, the ZeroWater pitcher dropped it from 52 to 0 - as advertised. It also filtered quite quickly. A glass of water tasted very interesting. Very clean. Also, a good aftertaste. I knew it would taste different and I think it's very good.Because my source water is already at ~52 PPM I expect the filter to last a long time, and this was important to me. I spoke about it with my neighbor and she had a new Britta unit so we tested her tap water (also 52 PPM) and her Britta water came out at half that, 25 PPM. Very good. She also had a new bottle of Kirkland brand bottled water, get this, 168 PPM. In other words, more than 3x worse than her existing tap water !! And she was PAYING money for it.As for the coffee, it was a complete change from the already decent tap water. It was, literally, a different cup of coffee. I will likely have to alter my recipe but it was very noticeable. However, at the same time as I used the filtered water, I also used an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the French Press. I find this is the only way to truly scrub the oils from the mesh screens and the stainless parts. And that too makes a HUGE difference in the coffee taste. At least as much as the clean water. So once it 'colors' again (there seems to be a sweet spot) I won't know for sure if a recipe change is needed. One thing is for sure, it was a CLEAN cup of coffee!Bottom line, I'm sold on the ZeroWater system. I now have a consistent water (benchmark) to use on a permanent basis that will not change over time. But it's not just coffee, I'll be drinking more water and now know that my source water is already better than most bottled waters..making them a step backwards.Most of the negative reviews are from users that don't understand the product or it's target market. If your water is really bad, this will fix it, but you will have to buy more filters. In my case, I'm lucky and my filter may last for an entire year. But if your water is that bad, then that's just the price you pay to fix it. Oh, and as for people complaining about speed, I tested my neighbors Britta and saw no appreciable difference...other than that, of course, the ZeroWater system scrubs all of the TDS out of the water leaving you with 000......which, just so you know, no reverse osmosis system can match.....so...an inexpensive jug you just fill and put in your fridge, or a great deal of time and money building out an RO system that won't match the ZeroWater pitcher....1 Year update. Shortly after leaving the review I moved to another park with .22 TDS - so very good water there too. I've been here a year and I'm still on the original filter and it still scrubs the water to .000 So with good source water, the filter will really last. I use an average of one entire pitcher each day!Side note, this filter scrubs the water so well that you can use it to top up water in 12V batteries and it's also used in my steam cleaner to reduce scale buildup.Just got one for my parents and they have .150 TDS at the tap so we'll see how long the filter lasts at that level but we're still on our first filters one year later.

The water it really taste as from the bottle ones , it’s clear and clean water, I even use for my kettle and coz my kettle is clear glass I can see how much limescale is building and so far is holding for over a week , before when I used from tap water straight away after the first use I could see the limescale starting to appear, well so far so good , till now is being an amazing water jug I hope the filter holds for long coz they are really expensive.Ye it’s a very nice jug filtering well the water , I had a few ones before and this it really does the job 👍👍.

Produit conforme , le test PPM passe à zéro comme promis.

it really erases the scent of the water. the cholrine etc.
