ZeroWater 7-Cup 5-Stage Water Filter Pitcher 0 TDS for Improved Tap Water Taste - IAPMO Certified to Reduce Lead, Chromium, and PFOA/PFOS

Update: I used this water as a replacement for distilled water, in order to add minerals to it for coffee brewing. It worked perfectly. The only true annoyance I have is the pitcher sucks for pouring into a container with a narrow opening, like a gallon jug, so I have to use a funnel. __________ I had heard about this product for a long time but always thought the idea of filtering was unnecessary, so I never tried it. Then I moved somewhere that the water tasted worse, but was happy enough with an in-fridge or on-faucet water filter just for taste improvement. I purchased this product really for one thing: to get close-to-zero TDS water to use as a replacement for distilled/RO water so I can add minerals myself for optimized coffee brewing water (yes, it sounds ridiculous, but can make a world of difference). If you want to try this yourself, you can purchase Third Wave Water and add one packet to one gallon of distilled, RO, or water from your Zero Water filter pitcher (if you get this 7-cup size, you will have to fill the pitcher several times and add it to a gallon size container). I expected it to take a long time to filter, considering the extra stages it has to pass through compared to a standard filter. However, I was surprised to see water filling the pitcher within seconds of adding it to the top reservoir. It took two fills of the top reservoir to fill this 7-cup pitcher, with the filter still inserted. This is an estimated 56 fl.oz. (7 cups x 8 fl.oz.). This means I'll have to fill it ~2.25 times to make my full gallon, and considering how quickly it filters this can be done in minutes - quicker than the time it would take me to go to the store and buy a gallon of distilled. On top of that, the filter SHOULD last long enough that it will be cheaper and less wasteful, in the long run. Not bad! I tested my unfiltered tap water and it read 110 TDS after allowing the meter to sit for a few seconds in contact with the water. I have an in-fridge water dispenser that provides filtered water, and it read 80 TDS, but the filter is also past the time it should be replaced so I'll test it when I put a fresh filter in. I filled up the reservoir of the Zero Water pitcher once, tested it and received a 002 reading, which isn't bad but was partially disappointing. I then filled the reservoir a second time and it read 000, so it appears it was just the first run-through that may have been slightly higher TDS, yet not much since it is now reading 000. With my other water filters, I've had to "prime" the filter by running a certain amount of water through it first. I like that this is not the case with ZWF, as they do this for you before they ship it. I didn't know this when I purchased it, so when it arrived and was wet inside the blue cap, I was taken aback that it may have been a used and returned product, however now that I know they prime it for you I understand why it was wet inside. The plastic wrapper my filter was housed inside was ripped in two places, which is why I thought it was returned used, but now I expect it was just torn from being stored upside down for too long, perhaps during shipping. I tasted this water, just to leave a rating for the flavor category here on Amazon. It was a bit metallic and slightly odd, possibly "fishy". Since my water reads 000 and not 006, I know it isn't the filter being bad, and it could just be the first run-through not being as pure. I also ran warm water through the filter and didn't refrigerate it before tasting, so that might be effecting the taste. I didn't really buy this for the taste of the water, rather I purchased it because I will be adding minerals back in and using it for coffee brewing, so I will have to see if the taste affects that at all. In summary, this water filter works "better" (if the goal is getting 0 TDS) than other water filters, it also is more convenient due to not having to prime it, and it provides ready-to-use water in seconds/minutes. So it works, it is quick, and it is simple and easy to use. I will be testing this for my coffee brewing purposes and will update when I've done so.

I love Zero Water filters because all the different styles of tanks use the same water filter. I previously purchased the tank with the spigot but as I suspected, eventually (after 1.5 years) the white plastic on the spigot broke (still useable but requiring too much effort.) I love this little pitcher even more. I love that I can pour filtered water into my cup even while there is unfiltered water in the tank! No waiting <3 And best of all, I didn't have to buy a different type of filter when changing from tank to pitcher. The money I invested in buying filters ahead of time was not wasted. I can also attest that they have a good customer service and aren't stingy about replacing their products if there is an issue. Pro tip: add mineral drops to the water after filtering to make it isotonic. I calculated that my filter will last two years because I live in Seattle where the water is already very good. My water tastes fantastic. Overall excellent functionality and great customer service makes this a great value for my money.

I used to drink tap water like a peasant—cloudy, metallic, vaguely suspicious. Then the ZeroWater 7-Cup Pitcher entered my life like a crystal chalice forged in the heavens. I filled it. Waited. Poured a glass. Sipped. Silence. My taste buds stood in stunned reverence. This wasn’t hydration. This was liquid redemption. A 5-stage filtration ritual so powerful it didn’t just clean the water—it purified my soul. ZeroWater doesn’t mess around. While other pitchers reduce contaminants, this one obliterates them with the efficiency of a caffeine-fueled Spartan. Lead? Gone. Chromium? Banished. PFOA/PFOS? Annihilated. It took my sketchy municipal supply and turned it into something you’d find in an elven glade guarded by singing birds and wise moss. The included TDS meter read “000”—which I assume stands for Zero Toxins Delivered, Sir. It holds 7 cups, but let’s be honest: it holds eternity in every drop. If you’ve never looked at a glass of water with admiration, longing, and the urge to write poetry, you’ve never used ZeroWater. I now hydrate like royalty, tea tastes like ceremony, and my kidneys send me thank-you notes. This pitcher didn’t just improve my water—it changed my life.

Excelente produto custo xbenefício

私は健康の為運動をしています、で水は必ず1日2ℓぐらいは飲みますので、この為良い浄水器を探しておりました、良い品を見つけて重宝しております、そろそろフィルターをお願いしょうかなと思っている所です

En très bonne etat, l’eau est délicieuse désormais 😋

I picked up the ZeroWater 7-cup filter to improve my water quality, and the difference has been very noticeable. My tap water was reading over 100 ppm using my old Brita filter, whereas this one brought it down to 0 ppm initially. After about 3 weeks of daily use, it’s still only reading 0-1 ppm, depending on the day of testing. I didn’t just rely on the included TDS meter—I also tested everything using 16-parameter water test strips (photos included). My unfiltered tap water showed high total alkalinity (around 180 ppm), very hard water, a pH around 7.5, some sulfate presence, and even trace mercury showing on the strip. After filtering with Brita, the results improved slightly but were still fairly high overall—alkalinity dropped to roughly 80–120 ppm, nitrates were low, but the water remained very hard, sulfate levels were still present, and pH was around 7.5–8.0. With the ZeroWater filter, the results were dramatically different. The test strips showed essentially 0 across the board for measurable contaminants and minerals, with the only notable change being a drop in pH to around 6.5. That lines up with the “flat” taste—this filter is removing nearly everything. Because of that, the water does taste a bit neutral/flat. I actually don’t mind that, but I experimented by adding a tiny pinch (literally just a couple grains) of Himalayan salt to my water bottle. Interestingly, that brought the reading up to around 8 ppm and noticeably improved the taste, making the water feel “softer” without overdoing it. It’s a simple tweak if you prefer a bit of mineral presence. Build quality feels like a step up from Brita. The container is more solid, and I especially like the reservoir design—it helps prevent unfiltered water from accidentally spilling into the filtered section while pouring, which is something I’ve experienced with Brita’s more open design. My only minor concern is the handle over time. It feels fine now, but I’ll be curious to see how it holds up with regular use when full. Overall, for the price, this has been a great upgrade. If you’re looking for measurable improvements in water quality—not just basic filtration—this is definitely worth considering.

Po 2 tyg woda zaczęła śmierdzieć. Nie polecam tego produktu.
