ZeroWater ZR-0810-4-N 10 Cup Round Water Filter Pitcher, Clear

Good quality water filter pitcher. Stores alot of water and filters out the Total Dissolved Solids. Note that the water does taste flat like distilled water (which is the point of the filter I suppose)

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 👍👍.

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.

Bon compromis lorsqu’on a la d’osmoseur à disposition !

I decided to measure my pH, TDS, EC, Salinity, and Temperature of my tap water (straight from the sink). I also decided to measure this by the water filtration method we are using (Zero Water - pitcher) I did a couple of scenarios as in my baseline tap water cup. The second one was a current cup filled from a previous filter change. This means it had multiple refills of the water and our current pitcher being used. So probably like 3-7 pitchers already drank. The other test was from a new separate zero water pitcher that has had only one single drain using all 64ozs. I've labeled it as SINK, PITCHER A & PITCHER B each of the pitchers filters had just been changed and I wanted to have a separate comparison for each. I do want to see this tested again after the filter is ready to be renewed (as Zero water suggests it at 006ppm) I really am surprised that the basic tester Zero water gives you is actually good enough just to show you how much bad or good it is working. I did notice that the tested I used which had the ability to test multiple ways was by far a better method and way more reliable andrs accurate in my opinion. Below is the list of tests I have found for my own personal experience and test. I suggest you check it out yourself. Especially when you talk about the difference between the SINK water and the water from the SHOWER/Bathroom Sink. It'll open up your eyes as to why the bathroom was irritating the SKIN for some of the people in my household. I would recommend getting the AquSoft tester & the Zero water filter for drinking. Aside from reverse osmosis filters, this is hands down the best option for those on a budget and are very interested in their own health. The pitcher itself is a durable, easy to clean pitcher. The neutral colouring helps you easily to see when the pitcher gets dirty so you can wash with soap and water and start using it again. The only thing that I can mention about the filter changes would be to make sure you TIGHTEN the filter on correctly (threaded properly). Plus do not, over tighten the tension between the two (pitcher & filter). Otherwise you might have some difficulties removing the old one. So far I haven't had any issues after not trying to tighten it too hard. We drink and use the filtered water for everything. Coffee, tea and cooking etc. You name it and we try using it. Way better than plastic bottles. Might cost a bit more but it's way worth it for us. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CUP-1 = SINK (TAP WATER) Zero Water Tester probe 325 567ppm 75.2° 549ppm 74.1° 567ppm 73.7° 1156us/cm 73.4° 1155us/cm 73.2° 1151us/cm 73.2° 0.05% Salinity 73.0° 0.05% Salinity 73.0° 0.05% Salinity 73.0° 7.91ph 73.0° 7.79ph 73.0° 7.74ph 73.0° -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CUP-2 = ZERO Pitcher A Zero Water Tester probe 000 001ppm 74.3 004ppm 74.8° 002ppm 75.0° 006us/cm 75.2° 007us/cm 75.3° 011 75.3° 000% Salinty 75.5° 000% Salinity 75.5° 000% Salinity 76.5° 6.01ph 75.5° 5.86ph 75.5° 5.78ph 75.5° -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CUP-3 = ZERO Pitcher B Zero Water Tester probe 000 000ppm 75.0° 000ppm 75.0° 000ppm 74.8° 000us/cm 74.8° 000us/cm 74.8° 000us/cm 74.8° 000% Salinty 74.8° 000% Salinity 74.8° 000% Salinity 74.6° 6.30ph 74.6° 6.13p 74.6° 6.07ph 74.6°
