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: 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.

Title: This is the one you want
Review: I've been there, you've been there. Sink filters, under sink filters, endless pitchers. Brita, Pur, various generics. All make the water somewhat better, but do not make the water "good". ZeroWater does just that -- it makes the water "good"For ten years I've purchased ZeroWater products and I cannot accept anything else. It's one of those products -- once you start using it you realize how less than stellar everything else you've used before was in comparison. ZeroWater takes bad water and makes it taste better than bottledI live in an area with awful water and this house has awful old pipes. The tap water here tastes very similar to how a toilet tank smells - somewhat musty, somewhat off. It reads in the high 200s on the included meter. ZeroWater takes that down to 0 and removes the awful taste completely. If you put this in a bottle and told me it came from an industrial purifier I'd believe youEvery friend I've introduced to ZeroWater has been shocked by the difference coming from other brands. In my opinion Brita and Pur still leave lingering traces of nastiness even though they filter the harmful stuff out. You can make water safe without it tasting good -- ZeroWater makes it safe and good unlike other brandsThis large dispenser with two filters works wonders in solving how quickly my family goes through water -- not only does it filter faster than regular single filter dispensers, it manages to hold over three gallons. I can pour a gallon at a time up top and will have plenty of water without needing to sit and refill it constantly. It takes care of my only complaint -- the other previous ZeroWater products needed babysitting somewhat to fill to a usable level. If you have room, this is the one you wantI was concerned about filter lifespan and needing two filters until I realized each filter is effectively doing half as much work. I will gladly pay for a two pack of filters since this purifies so much faster than the others in this rangeHaving the pull lever instead of a button on the dispenser nozzle is very much appreciated as well. I had a smaller version that only had one filter and a push button that required you to stand there and hold it. This is so much easier for people who may have difficulties like arthritis or other issues. Pull the lever down, it fills. Push the lever back up, it stops. It's as easy as flipping a light switchI find myself drinking more water now that I have this dual filter tank. I keep a gallon pitcher on standby and can quickly fill this to capacity -- I really cannot give this dispenser enough praise. They really listened to their audience and fixed any complaints I would have had with previous models being slow or annoying to use due to needing to hold a buttonI'll borrow a quote from the old Packard car company, "Ask the man who owns one". I own one -- this is the one you want. Once you get used to the convenience there is no going back

Review: It filters the water wonderfully. I did, however, forget to put the spigot in before filling it with water. The others I've had had the spigot installed already. The spigot in this one is different from the others, and it makes getting water easier."Tasteless" water is so much better to drink than what comes out of the tap.

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.
