The ZeroWater pitcher is by far my new best friend. After watching a special on tap water that was on the Dr. Oz show, I went on a search for the cleanest way to filter the water in my home. The ZeroWater pitcher won hands down, providing a way to clear almost every, single last contaminant from the water. Here’s the lowdown on the system:
Zero Technologies LLC is the only gravity fed filteration system that meets the FDA standards for bottled water. Using a 5 stage, ion-exchange filteration system that is guaranteed to bring your level of dissolved solids to zero, you will finally know the true beauty of clean, crisp and worry free water. Why do you want a zero you ask?
Meter readings for tap water average between 75 and 300 and can go even higher. Conventional water filters only take out a small portion of these dissolved solids which can cause bad tastes. If you don’t believe me, get your own water tester, or use the one provided by ZeroWater to not only test your filtered water, but your tap water and the bottled water you have stored in the garage. After receiving the ZeroWater Pitcher and the enclosed tester, I went test crazy…and finally realized that my gut was right all along; the Brita was worthless.
If you can read that little water tester in the cup, you can see that my bottled water logged in at 190. According to the enclosed water cheat sheet, 190 is within range for bottled water, but once again, it ain’t zero. After testing the bottled, I tested my Brita water filter, which logged in at a little over 250, which was shocking to me. It was in the national range of tap water!
So, I decided to break out my ZeroWater Pitcher and filter the water, to see if I could first get a zero, and then…find out what a zero tasted like. After the easy assembly and passing the water through a couple of times to filter the water, I was ready.
One big thing to know as you are filtering the water is that good water takes time. The water passes through the top trough and through the filter at a slower rate than your average filter, but then again…this isn’t your average water it’s producing. Once filled, the pitcher can hold about twice as much as your typical pitcher, and also comes with two separate ways to get the water out. One, you can pour it, or two, there is a spout located at the base.
The spout has been a huge help with my sons, who can now easily fill their stainless steel bottles up with water straight from the fridge, as opposed to trying to carry the big pitcher.
All in all, I definitely recommend the ZeroWater system to anyone looking to not only drink cleaner water, but save money. It is estimated that by investing $30 in a water-filtering, reusable pitcher or faucet attachment, you’ll save about $300 a year on bottled water.
Pick one up here for $35, and sign up for the coupons, trust me, they are worth it!
