Title: It really works - removes everything from your water
Review: My wife and I live in Arizona, which has some of the hardest water in the country. It's safe but it's basically dusty, dirty desert river water with all sorts of minerals and dirt in it. We use a filter on our refrigerator for drinking water but my wife still refuses to drink it; she says it tastes terrible. I never noticed it that much - I feel like straight drinking water usually tastes bad regardless - but especially with ice, I could smell it.So I ordered this pitcher because I feel like constantly buying bottled water like my wife's been doing is really wasteful in a whole bunch of ways. And we both love it. We don't use it all the time and I'll get to why in a second, but when we want just clean, good tasting drinking water or ice, it really beats any other filtered water, especially here.I thought it was a nice touch that it comes with a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter that you can use to measure your water before and after to both be sure the Zero Water filter is working and also know when to buy a new one (they say when the TDS go above a certain threshold, the filter needs replacing). I measured our water from the tap with 500ppm dissolved solids! That is very high. I then filtered this with Zero Water and it went down to 3ppm. Not 0, but that's a tough number to start with.I then tested our filtered refrigerator water and it still measured at 400ppm! So the fridge filter (which is a standard carbon filter like in every other filtration system) is doing something, but it's not very effective on Arizona water. Also, my wife was right! The fridge filtered water is still pretty terrible compared to even unfiltered water from, say, New York (which actually has really good natural water).But I then re-filtered the fridge water through Zero Water and the result was 0ppm. And I think that's a fairer test, since most people will be starting with water that's probably in the 100-300ppm range.Since the fridge filter starts complaining that it needs to be changed at 6 months regardless of usage, and there's really no other convenient way to know when it's dead, we just do that all the time now... we re-filter our fridge water for drinking and ice. But most people won't need to do that - most people can just filter their tap water and will get 0ppm water from Zero Water filters.Now, I will say that I still drink the straight fridge filtered water sometimes, and we also use it in cooking and other things. That's because Zero Water literally filters *everything*, even the good stuff like fluoride and certain minerals your body needs. If there's a situation where the taste doesn't really matter or otherwise gets masked, like in cooking, I'd recommend sticking with unfiltered or less-filtered water. (Other filtration systems are designed to specifically leave alone things like fluoride and good minerals.)But man, the first time I tasted our Zero Water, it was like tasting water itself for the first time. It almost didn't taste real. I don't think I've ever had truly pure water before. It was borderline sweet, maybe because I'm conditioned to our water tasting a bit bitter so that's what my brain expects. But it was very clean, otherwise tasting like absolutely nothing. And obviously with nothing dissolved in it, it's totally clear as well.I can't really comment on filter longevity as we haven't had to replace ours yet. That's after about a month of use, though, filtering still some pretty hard water even after the fridge filter got through it. That said, I don't think this is a system meant to filter *all* your water, and if you use it that way, you'll probably go through filters pretty quick in this part of the country. (The pitcher comes with a brochure that shows how long you might expect a filter to last - in volume, not time - in different parts of the country.) It is best used as a filtration system just for straight drinking water and ice, and if you use it that way, the filters seem to last decently long enough. I did just test our water again a couple days ago and it was still at 0ppm, so our first filter is still working fine after a month.

Title: Tastes Pure.
Review: FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY! Treat this tank like a lab experiment that needs to be sterile. I still have my system and it works just fine. I regularly test the water conditions and compare it to my tap water for accuracy. I ran an in home test using Pur filter (the one that filters lead too), tap water, and Zero water. The tap water tasted awful (do not swallow), the Pur water was OK (I didn't feel fully hydrated and I got heartburn after), the Zero water tasted like Orzarka bottled water IMO. It's worth the money. I have slightly higher than average PFAS in my local water so this helps immensely. I wouldn't spring for the huge one because it uses 2 filters at once. I will update this review (if I remember to). It's easy to clean. Only clean how it tells you to with soap and water then let it dry. It stores enough for me to get a full tank in my 64oz flask. The water IS completely pure from contaminants. Clear water. Clear instructions. My one complaint is that the pitcher part should ONLY be used when all the water has completely been filtered. If not, the top isn't so durable when pouring and you risk getting unfiltered water in your zero PFAS water. LUCKILY, someone thought of this and included a dispenser at the bottom. It's not enough for me to take off a full star TBH. So more like 4.7/5

Title: Excellent design and functionality. Very expensive-- filter life can be terribly short
Review: I live in an area where municipal water, as it comes from the tap, tastes horrible and is loaded with dissolved solids. Our tap water approaches five hundred p.p.m. in concentration of total dissolved solids.Lesser water filtration systems simply couldn't keep up with these levels and would be clogged and useless in no time, while (as Zero Water advertises) actually never removing all the solids from the beginning; only certain salts and minerals, resulting in a big improvement in taste, but not real purity-- and not for long, either. The water would dramatically improve in taste, yes, but still contained loads of possibly toxic chemicals. I'd been using Brita's familiar basic filter pitcher, original Brita filters and generic refills for this pitcher-- trying different things to compare for quality and cost.I finally decided to try Zero Water after assessing many reviews and advertisements. It's expensive, as we all know.The product does exactly what it says it'll do. Initial tests for purity reveal Zero dissolved solids on a new filter. Zero.It turns out that trying for zero dissolved solids in our water actually isn't important in and of itself; TDS of two hundred p.p.m is very clean water-- IF those dissolved solids don't include lead, mercury, industrial solvents and the like.The idea is that removing all potentially unhealthy total dissolved solids might mean you must purify the water beyond a normal level of total dissolved solids as a whole, to get at the targeted substances.Finished drinking water from a Zero Water system is actually a little too pure to taste excellent, as, say, spring water tastes, since some natural minerals found in pure water add pleasantness to the taste. These are removed along with all the other unhealthy dissolved solids, and so the product tastes like distilled water. A bit tasteless. Not bad, much better than the tap water, but not as good as pure spring water.But I didn't purchase Zero Water for the taste, as much as for thoroughness at removing dissolved salts. I grow some choice tropical plants. They resent dissolved solids in their irrigation water.The strong filtration shows up all over the house, though. Coffee tastes incredibly good, much better.Zero Water's filtration system is very ingenious and effective, but if your water's as bad as mine, the filter will work for only a couple of weeks, becoming saturated with dissolved solids soon enough. There's nothing anyone can do about this. You have to replace the filter when it's clogged. It will become harder and harder to get the tap water to run through the filter, as it fills with pollutants. Readings from Zero Water's clever little digital meter measuring total dissolved solids will reflect this.So. The product works wonderfully and is honestly represented. It's also going to be a very expensive proposition, replacing Zero Water filters once every ten days to two weeks (in my case).I believe it's worth it. Only an installed, in-line water filtration unit could improve on Zero Water, and be more sensible over the long term for cost.Zero Water filter canisters are going to cost at least ten dollars a piece, probably no matter how far or stubbornly you look for them at a better price.I'll continue using them, and I highly recommend the product if you have these troubles with your water supply.

Review: Tolles Ergebnis. Das Leitungswasser schmeckt definitiv völlig anders nach dem Reinigungsprozess. Ich gehe auch nicht mehr aus dem Haus ohne mein gefiltertes Wasser und werde den ZeroWater Krug auch mit auf Reisen nehmen!

Review: I have both this and another 10-cup zerowater (without the dispenser tap). The tap makes it convenient to get a cup, but the flow is rather slow, compared to just pouring it from a jug. The refill process requires that you take off the lid. I find it easiest to use another jug to collect tap water, and then pour it into the filter jug. Pros and cons compared to the other design.

Review: I have been using this for 5 months with the same filter it came with, and the water still comes up 000ppm on the meter. There is an average 3 people drinking from this per day, and it is still going strong like it was day 1. Does an awesome job, and fits perfect in a regular sized fridge. The only thing I would change is the poring faucet spout thing on the bottom front. It takes a long time to fill a glass of water with that spout.*updated review 12/11/2015*I am still on filter #1, the meter is not broken because I test it with tap water and then filtered water. It STILL hasn't hit 006ppm on the meter. I am in love with this, and will be buying this pitcher as gifts for friends. I have had a lot of feedback from friends when they ask for a cup of water and get this water. I have been told it is the best water they have ever drank. It is durable, delicious, and definitely affordable as it takes forever to need to replace the filter. I am a Zerowater drinker for life
