Title: A Great Filter System That Works
Review: Background:I am a big fan of Project Farm channel on YouTube. The gentleman not only tests competitive products with innovative tests and procedures, but also refuses to be sponsored and buys all the products himself based on comments from public. He also divides qualitative and quantitative scores to recommend an overall winner. So when his test results showed the ZeroWater filter comparable to $300 products, we decided to purchase it.The size of container may vary based on your needs. We decided to get the 32-cup one based on the price and usage. We use about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water a day. Since we bought this in February, we are currently onto our 4th filter, with each lasting on an average 50 days till the TDS goes above recommended 6 ppm.Pros:1. Price - both for the container and the replacement filters. We bought the initial setup for about $25. The replacement 6 unit filter cost us $55 on sale at Target. Subscribe and Save here costs about $70, which is $12/unit. For our usage of 50 - 75 gallons, it ends up being roughly 16 to 24 cents per gallon.2. Filtration - it indeed has a TDS of 0 ppm when new. I verified it with a calibrated meter, which matched with the supplied meter. In fact, the filter maintains its level of 0 ppm up to 5 weeks, and then starts dropping in efficiency rapidly.3. Installation and removal of the filter is easy. No need to saturate the filter for a few minutes before using it as some other filters do.4. Taste of water is good, it is slightly sweet. The water does not have any odor.5. The container came very well packaged with clear instructions, not that they are needed. However, it is important to know how to initiate the filter, given as mentioned, some may need to be saturated.6. The container seems to be of decent quality.Cons:1. The spigot seems flimsy, not that it has broken, but don't force it to open.2. The lid has sliding mechanism to put water in top, which can collect dust and sludge beneath it.3. It can be addictive, as you can drink more water - not a bad thing.Things to Watch:The filter has very small opening at the bottom. As a result, the flow is very slow. So if you want filtered water pronto, then you have to plan.Also, I recommend to not empty the container beyond the bottom of the filter. It seems like the air gets trapped into it making the filter difficult to work. I threw my second filter even though it was showing 0 ppm. If you do notice the slowdown and if the water quality is still below 6 ppm, I recommend to directly pour water on top of the filter from 12 to 15 inches. This seems to have worked for me. Since, then, every week for one refill I do that just to flush air and try not to empty the container too much.Another thing to increase life is to double filter with water from the refrigerator. Since those filters are mostly joke (our refrigerator filter drops the TDS to 125 from the background of 140), it will at least enhance some of the life. Other method would be to use used ZeroWater filter and a smaller container and pour from that, till the TDS goes close to 50 ppm or so.Bottomline:Given the issues with microplastics, lack of recyclability, lax regulations for water quality, we have pretty much reduced our usage of bottled water after this unit. We use it for all our potable needs. Add to that the cost of $0.20 per gallon with a good tasting water, you cannot beat that. This is a good quality filtration system.

Title: Great water purifier!
Review: I initially purchased the smaller one at a local store but returned it as it was heavily scratched on the sides, manufacturing defects, decided to order on Amazon but the next size up! I love the big size, glad we didn’t get any smaller! I like the design of it, Fits nicely on the counter. But also not too big that it won’t fit in the fridge if we decide to put it there.Feels sturdy and the tap doesn’t feel super cheap like some.The TDS meter works well, our water was 070 when I tested it from the tap, after filtering, it’s 000.My only complaint is the meter doesn’t fit very easy in the holder, I can’t tell if it’s clicked in properly or not, and too afraid to push it in hard incase I break the plastic off around it. Not too worried because I can test the water in a cup.The water tastes pure, I think even better than our previous purifier of another brand.Very happy with this purchase.

Title: Use it daily
Review: Love this. It's big so our family of 4 can go several days of cold clean water without having to refill it. Water tastes good and I am pleased the added stuff is out of there. The filters seem to last a long time. My level (TSD i think, or TDS whatever it is) didn't change for 3 months, the water tasted off so I tested it (they provide the thing to test it with) and it was only at 1 so I rewashed and added fresh water and the water still tasted weird so I changed the filter and it was back to how I think it should taste. They said to change when it got to 6 but I can't imagine how awful the water would taste at 6, but I think that's a personal choice. It's easy to clean, easy to change filters, and overall happy with our purchase. Glad I got the big one!

Title: It is what it says.
Review: I got this and I am very pleased with the results. It holds a lot of water and it taste good! Comes with two filters so the filtering goes quick and the water is ready to use in no time. I use this now more than I do my other more expensive gravity flow stainless steel water filter. Taste better too.

Review: I previously had the smaller one (8 cups I think) which was not very good and leaked, so I was hesitant to buy this one, but it’s great! It doesn’t leak from the filter, it holds lots of water, and it has the spout at the front so it’s super convenient. Worth upgrading for sure!

Review: L'eau est bien filtré. Avant de filtrer le testeur affiche 380 et apres le filtrage il affiche zero. Le remplissage de la cuve prend un peu de temps (quelques minutes) pour filtrer mais c'est acceptable. En gros en terme de rapport qualité prix il s'agit d'une bonne affaire.
