12 Cup 2.8 L Jug

This works. I had an issue with the filter that came with the unit in which some orange coloured beads like tiny yellow transluscent fish eggs appeared in the feeder tank. I think this is a design fault with a batch, as I purchased four more, and they have a different setup, and there are no issues. This fault is discussed at length on the internet. I wouldn't worry about it. The best bit about these is making jumbo icecubes for whisky. These are so clear and taste so much better than using tap or mineral water. The water itself is great, and the jug sits nicely in the fridge. I am not sure about the spigot for dispensing. For me, it's not used much. So the big question is, what to do with my BRITA as it is not as good, but I have quite a few filters. The answer is easy. Filter 1st in the Brita, then second pass through the zero. This extends the life of the Brita filter. If you experience a fishy taste ... its not a fault, you just need to change the filter.

I am really pleased with the Zerowater Filter Jug which I purchased about a year ago. It does just as it says it does, removing almost all tap water dissolved solids. The filter lasted about 6 weeks of everyday use (just for drinking) and the tester shows you when the filter needs to be replaced (when it displays 6). You can also tell when it needs to be replaced because the water tastes off when the filter has expired. The spare filters sold by Amazon were £50 for a pack of 4 last year but are now (2019) £30 for a pack of 2. They are just as good as the original filter sold with the jug but have gone up in price to around £15 each. The jug is easy to use and although a little heavy when full, it is not too heavy to be easy to use.

The great water quality lasted for less than a week! After 5 days, the water started tasting very acidic and after looking online and at other reviews, it is clear that this is a common issue with the filter. The solution would be to buy a new filter that costs £20 each! Very disappointing. Avoid at all costs!

Removes all the junk effectively and quickly. My water was 220 from the tap and zero afterwards - we took the test kit to work to play around and found our filtered water in the office came out exactly the same as the office tap water which was not good news. Seeing this reinforces how good this product is. Different reviewer complained re black grains in finished product - you see a few in the top filter but the only way these end up in your glass is if you start pouring before the unfiltered water has had chance to go through the filter cartridge. Already bought a second jug and the filters are lasting well but buy the big discount packs or this will get very expensive over time.

it's a great water filter but it is expensive. the filters that are supposed to last 3-4 weeks only last 13 days for us. there are 3 of us but still i have never had a water filter that has to be changed that often. we used this for our travel in europe. if i was living somewhere i would rather invest in a whole house water filtration system like pure effects which we have at home. it's not economical for a house hold filter but worked for travel

Great water sanitzer. Umm water taste good, the best thing is the TDS included. Horror tap water level! Highly recommend one.

Updated review. Zero water filter jug. As much as I love this water filter jug, there are a few design flaws. Firstly, this does give amazingly clean water and it comes up zero everytime. This is true, you can clearly taste the difference in the water. If you use the filter too long, you will HAVE TO bleach out your wjole jug from the worst FISH taste you have ever experienced, all in your water before you smell it on the bottle too, ... Gross. The second design flaw is, where you open the lid to fill it with water, the filter sits directly in the centre, taking up most of the room, if you hit that with water, you will then have large black balls, they say particles, these are not small enough to be classed as particles im sure. You have to try and hold the jug on an angle to fill it, which therefore puts nowhere near enough in, this is a struggle for myself and it takes way too many times to fill up the jugs capacity then. Disappointed isn't even the word. I thought the fish issue was my fault, which, it may be, but never once was I warned that this would happen or that I would have to bleach each part afterwards. Black balls floating all around the top section, not that nice either. After my last filter is used, I will not be using this again.

The water tester the filter came with is a great bit of kit for measuring tds levels. I tested two different bottled waters i drink daily they read 61 and 96 tds. I the measured my tap water at 10! Finally the filtered water was 7 though i think it may reduce once its cycled a few times. Tap water here in scotland is healthier than the bottled stuff i thought was better for me. The jug is quite nice good size, handy tap on reverse, filter time was just fine, and filter unit twice the size of the brita i used before so that explains its affectiveness. Was worth buying just for the tester tbh but happy with purchase.

Ottima soluzione per migliorare la qualità dell'acqua domestica e ridurre il consumo di plastica. L'acqua filtrata ha un sapore più gradevole e risulta più dolce, test fatto con cartine tornasole per la durezza dell'acqua. Il filtro, sebbene non economico e con una durata di circa un mese per acqua mediamente dura, è efficace nel ridurre impurità e metalli pesanti, come evidenziato da tanti test di laboratorio disponibili su YouTube. La caraffa include un comodo misuratore elettronico per verificare la durezza dell'acqua. Nonostante la caraffa non sia molto maneggevole, il dispenser a molla per l'acqua è pratico. La consiglio per chi ha un'acqua mediamente dura, per renderla più buona e avere un'alternativa sostenibile all'acqua in bottiglia, pur considerando il costo dei filtri.

After doing the research, this was the one which I found to have the maximum filtration while I am living in an apartment. In a home you own, your best bet is an under the sink or whole-house reverse osmosis system. However, for a whole lot less, you can get this with pretty much the same water quality! That's quite astounding given the price differential (thousands versus a hundred or two). Nevertheless, this system takes more work in terms of: * Vigilance - you'll have to use the TDS monitor provided with purchase to see how the filter is doing * Keeping the water levels full in the container as you use it * Keeping new filters on hand After reading the reviews, I realized that the filter would last maybe a month given my usage (about 1 gallon a day for one person). I use it for both drinking and cooking. Before this I was lugging multi-gallon containers from the water store to home every week. The price was okay though has been going up. I was paying may $400 a year for water. Now it's more like $250 in the first year, and it will be less in ensuing years because I won't be buying any new pitchers, just filters. My tap water here in Florida tests out at 300 particles (ppm). Anywhere you live, there will be additives, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and heavy metals - even on well water because the aquifers are now contaminated. Flouridation (terrible for the organs), is another factor if you use city water. I have used filtered water exclusively for 30 years. I had a very good Culligan system installed under my kitchen sink at home, but as I have moved, I have gone with a portable setup. Zero Water eliminated the need to lug heavy water containers, which is wonderful. But I wasn't going to compromise. Turns out, the filters are exceedingly effective. I won't go into it here, it is covered extensively in other reviews and on YouTube, this system far exceeds other gravity systems. One thing that struck me, though, was how to maximzie usage of the filters. At my current rate, I'd use 1 filter a month. Not at all a bad thing. However, I have brought that down to 1 every six months. Here's how. I have purchased two pitchers, as shown. On the right is the 10-cup, my first pitcher. At center, the 12-cup. On the left is a 2 gallon glass container with spigot. I do the following. 1. Fill the first pitcher with tap water. Use it exclusively for a month. (I pour the water into a glass container almost immediately after filtering. That's just me.) 2. Once the TDS monitor tells you that the water has more than a safe number of particles (6 is the recommended number), start using the second pitcher. Your first pitcher becomes your dirty pitcher. 3. Pour the water from the "dirty" pitcher to the second pitcher (the clean pitcher). The clean pitcher's filter will have to do much less filtering because the dirty pitcher's filter is still picking up most of the particles. 4. Keep testing the water from the clean pitcher. Once it reaches the maximum of 6 or more, (which takes 6 months in my case), throw away the filter in the dirty pitcher and replace it with the filter in the clean pitcher. Install a brand new filter in the clean pitcher. 5. Repeat steps 1-4. Doing it this way, your filters should last a lot longer, depending on your usage. If you are a family of 4 or 8, and use 2-4-8 gallons a day, you may get 1 week out of one filter, but you will get much more out of each filter doing it this way. I like to use glass for holding the water longer term. But if you are using all BPA-free plastic containers, which all the pitchers ZeroWater provides are, you should be ok. Which Container Zero Water offers several options for containers. I chose the pitchers because they are small enough to lift, while still having a spigot on the back end if I want to use them directly to fill a glass. But pouring the water is faster than the spigot, so a pitcher is more versatile than the larger container. I chose different sizes in the pitcher mainly to be able to differentiate which is the dirty and which, the clean. Personally, I prefer the 12-cup - the top fits better than the 10-cup, and is molded to prevent leakage from the water that is still filtering through if you happen to need to pour it before it's all drained down. TDS Monitor The TDS monitor comes with each unit. It is accurate. I tested it on various water sources. So I trust it when it says my filtered water is zero. They are sensitive enough to detect 1 ppm. These monitors work on batteries. They should last quite a while. I called customer service about this because one of the TDS monitors stopped working. They were very informative and helpful. I have taken the monitors out of the slot where they can be carried on top of the pitchers. The possibility that water will fill the top is too great. The TDS monitors are actually not waterproof. They will die if submerged fully in water. You should only submerge the bottom where the sensors are. Put about an inch of your filtered water in a clean cup to test it. The TDS monitors have a "hold" button and an "on/off" button. If you mistakenly press the hold button, your monitor will not read the water levels and will say "000". This may be incorrect if your monitor is on hold. Just press the hold button a couple times and test the water, and whatever number it reads will be accurate. Customer Service Zero Water has its own website. They can be contacted by email and phone. They are highly responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. This speaks volumes about the product, because they back it. Water Taste The water tastes like a spring-fed stream. It's great. At one point, when I was still getting used to how to use the equipment, I was drinking water at 55ppm and it still tasted very good. When I caught this and started using a clean filter, bringing the water to 000 ppm again, the taste improvement was noticeable, though not as dramatic as the difference between tap water and purified. I've read on here that the taste becomes sour or metallic when the water purification levels drop. To me, it has not been that noticeable. I would suggest replacing the filter in such cases as it might be faulty. Camping Out I would take this with me on a camping trip. But I would use an initial filter designed for camping first, then put it through the Zero Water filters. This system is not really designedf for pond water that has mud and algae. However, once you filter those out, I wouldn't hesitate to use it. Overall, I am pleased with this system. As long at the quality of the filters stays the same, I plan to use it until I get another home. Stay safe and be healthy. I will update this review if my experience changes.

Cette carafe est bien plus efficace que le filtre BRITA fixé au robinet pour l'élimination des MDT : compteur à zéro après filtration. Seule contrepartie : le prix des cartouches. Et j'attends encore à l'usage pour donner un avis sur la durée de vie d'une cartouche ...

海外移住の際に、ブリタでは全然濾過が間に合ってないので購入しました。超硬水が軟水になります！！ ただ、デンマークの超硬水では1週間程度しか持たず、フィルターが限界をむかえると水が苦くなるのて直ぐに変えることに。もう少し長持ちするといいなぁ
