ZeroWater | 7 Cup Water Filter Jug With Advanced 5 Stage Filter | Water Quality Meter + Water Filter Cartridge Included, 1.7 litres

Product Information

The biggest selling point of the Zero Water filter jug is its many layers of filtration. This means that it is able to remove a lot more than other filter jugs like Brita. The ZeroWater filter jug is sold as the only water filter that removes more than 99% of dissolved solids from your water with a 5-stage filtration system.

Each filter will turn up to 150 litres of tap water into ZeroWater, but this depends on the original quality of your tap water and the amount of dissolved solids, so they will last longer in soft water areas. Neatly designed and simple to use, the ZeroWater system is a great way to get clean water no matter how bad your tap water is. Design and featuresThat’s akin to having purified water on tap, removing anything bad or foul tasting from the source product. Filtered water might look the same before and after filtering, but test the level of contaminants using the included laboratory-grade digital water quality meter and you’ll immediately see the difference. And when your filter’s coming towards the end of its life (the water starts to taste a little lemony), you can also use the meter to test the filtered water to confirm whether the filter needs changing.

Rather than buying bottles of purified water, fill your reusable travel bottle with water filtered through ZeroWater – not only will you be able to enjoy the filtered water you want, but you won’t have to throw away plastic bottle after plastic bottle.Stage 3: Multi-layer filtration – with activated carbon to filter out contaminants and an oxidation alloy to remove chlorine and heavy metals. The filters are also capable of removing total dissolved solids (TDS). This refers to the amount of salt minerals, metals. For instance, Zero is able to remove TDS’s like fluoride and lead. There are three extra stages that remove other bacteria. These stages are to make sure that your water is fully treated so that it produces a “000” reading on your water test kit (i.e. the (TDS meter).

I’ve got the 12-cup, 2.8-litre jug on review, although ZeroWater also sells a variety of varied sizes, ranging from 6-cup jugs to 30-cup dispensers. All use the same physical filter, so produce the same results. There are third party tests and certifications to prove that it can reduce things like chloride, fluoride, chlorine as well as other inorganic compounds. Also, the makers claim that it is the only filter to reach the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requirement to have a TDS content of 000 to 01 ppm. Q: What Does ZeroWater Remove? A: Everything you want it to! Family members that also bought ZeroWater (based on my recommendation) also had the same issue so I know I didn’t get a one-off faulty device. The benefit of using a meter is that you can see the exact point when your filter needs changing, maximising its use. If you carry on past the recommended change point, as I did to see what would happen, you’ll notice that the filtered water has a strange smell or taste to it. In my case, the water started to smell fishy. This is a result of the filter no longer being able to remove all particles. Each filter can handle 18,000 milligrams of dissolved solids. What this means depends on the quality of tap water. If you live in a typical UK area, you should get between 95- and 150-litres of purified water; if you live in an area with high TDS concentrations, expect between 55- and 95-litres of purified water per filter.This is such a shame because ZeroWater is very affordable and the free TDS meter (that comes with the jug) is a nice touch. Seeing the TDS meeter read 000 after replacing the filter was very reassuring but I have since learned that TDS-free does not mean contaminant-free.
