ZeroWater2.4L 5-Stage Water Filter Jug, IAPMO Certified to reduce PFOA/PFOS, Fluoride, Lead & other heavy metals-0 TDS, BPA Free, TDS meter included

In terms of the important aspect, which is filtering, it does the job really well. I can smell the chlorine in the tap water, but the filtered water has zero smell or taste. Unfiltered tap water left in a jug in open air gets a bad taste very fast, whereas the water coming out of this filter does not gain any taste even when left overnight.In terms of the 0 TDS, the filter really produces water with 0 dissolved salts (and potentially other particulates, but quantifying those is not possible with in-house equipment). In terms of health benefits, the water with 0 TDS lacks minerals and, in my opinion, is not really healthy long term unless the diet provides supplementary minerals. Unfortunately, that is the problem with a high efficiency filter that filters contaminants such as Lead or Chromium, it also filters the useful Magnesium and Potassium from the water. But with Magnesium and Potassium supplements that should be no problem and, in my opinion, that is a good compromise for reducing the heavy metals and Chlorine from the waterIn terms of the water PH, ideally, we should all drink mild alkaline water (PH>7), however, I measured the tap water to have a PH ~ 6.5., which is rather acidic and not very good for health at all. Fortunately, the filter does not further decrease the water PH by removing the salts from it, which was my main worry before I decided to buy it.The pitcher is terrible though. The lid does not close easily and the whole top bit wobbles and I worry one day when I am tired I will spill all the water on the floor. Brita's pitchers are much better designed in terms of assembly, but you do not buy this filter for that, but for its potential for filtering, which Brita is not good at.Overall, I would say the filter is great, but if you buy it for staying healthy and filtering the nasty stuff from the water, you should do a bit of research on how to supplement the minerals that are lost due to filtration. If you just care about the taste of the water, then the filter is great.

The water where I live is unpleasant to drink and the difference after filtering in this jug is incredible. I know the company that makes it as I used to live in France and look after a property for a family. We had the whole water system filtered by this company and it was exceptional quality.

I had been using water filter bottles for on the go for some time and wanted to extend this to water I was boiling and using for ice too. After much research, I decided to go for the zerowater filter due to the fact it also removes fluoride where many other well known filter brands do not. I'm really impressed. The first use I realised I hadn't screwed it on tightly enough but second attempt was spot on. The water noticeably tasted better immediately- and my dog who usually snubs our tap water (despite being filtered to an extent) is now happily guzzling the filtered water too! To all the reviews that talk about the smell/taste or shelf life of the filter I would say read the information properly. When the water tests at .006 you need to change the filter- it was noticeably different when it hit this marker and I suspect other reviewers have not paid enough attention to this point. Regarding how long a filter will last, that depends on the quality of your tap water to start with. Ours was in the orange zone of first reading and therefore lasts about 15-25 gallons - or for us about 20 days for two adults, a dog and a lot of ice! Maybe that seems pricey but the differences I have noticed in health since filtering water are worth 10x that. I haven't had a migraine in three months, after suffering with them monthly without fail for over a decade. My head also feels clearer generally and my sleep is better. So glad I found zero water- am recommending to everyone I know.

Was so excited to receive this product.I tested the water before & after filtration.a) the filtered water didn’t taste great and after only a few filterations, it smells of fish. Friends of mine who also bought the filter backed this up, the water ends up smelling fishy. Initially I couldn't explain why my kettle and kitchen started to smell, until someone confirmed that their zerowater filter does the sameb) although not down to the promised zero reading, it did take the reading down from 360. But only 2 weeks later, filter performance stopped, reading back to 360 and water tastes of bad tap water againAlso, trying to return this product but seller rejects as original box has already been disposed of. Well, I didn’t realise this filter is so bad that I’m having to return it.I would’ve been happy investing £70 for quality water but this filter doesn’t fit the purpose

Quality build jug with impressive filter. Was shocked to see the results of my tap water readings. Now my filtered water tasting so much better.one issue to report: item on arrival turned out to have flat batteries inside the water tester device. Note to Seller/producer- please ensure the batteries can be activated by the client before first use. I had to purchase new batteries first to be able to start using the product which was very inconvenient considering already high price for the product itself.

I was recommended this water filter and on first impressions it seemed really good. The water jug is easy to set up. Filtration is a little slower than other systems I’ve used but the water tastes very fresh once filtered. However, after only 3-5 days, the water takes on a metallic taste. On day 6, it smells really fishy and tastes bitter. I contacted Zero Water customer service via online chat to ask how long the filters should last, and I was advised depending on the condition of my tap water (reading 298), determines how often I need to change the filter. So in this case it’s every 3-5 days, which turns out to be extremely expensive. This is why I’ve only rated it 3 stars.
