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

Product Information

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.

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. TDS is measured, by the provided meter, in parts per million (PPM). The important thing to remember is that the TDS count is just about the particles in water, and there’s no distinction between harmful and good content. For example, if you were to test mineral water, you’d find that this has a higher TDS count than purified water. 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. 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. It is for this reason that I started using AquaTru, which solved all of these problems and I’ll talk more about this later in the article.

The unpleasant taste within a very short time

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. ZeroWater is equivalent to purified bottled water because it can filter TDS by 99%. TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids and refers to the total level of contaminants in your water. This countertop decanter is a powerful filter that treats extremely toxic substances like lead and chlorine: chlorine 96.6%, fluoride by 91.8%, benzene 99.9%, lead 97.5% etc. A small feature of ZeroWater is that the acidity of the water changes slightly when the filter is about to expire. This is to alert you that it is time to replace the filter. It is so powerful that it can filter things like milk and coke. This is how it gained its notoriety and popularity on social media.

AquaTru. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ ZeroWater’s first filtration state is a layer of oxidation-reduction alloy and activated carbon filtration that removes the taste of chlorine that comes with tap water. An EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) certified Fluoride Reduction Lab tested Zero filters to show that it reduces fluoride by 99%.

What is TDS and how to reduce TDS in water?

That said, the truth about tap water is that, while safe to drink, it’s often got some rather unsavoury things in it. Water can contain metals such as copper, mercury and lead; runoff from commercial and urban areas; sewage; and chemicals. It can also contain beneficial minerals, which are also included in the TDS count. You should consider this to be important because dissolved solids enter the water supply through old pipelines. These can be full of heavy metals, hormones, hard minerals (like calcium and magnesium, fertilizers and pesticides.

The five-stage filtration system might seem very slow if you stand and watch it, but all good things come to those who wait! And the patented Ready-Pour lidded jug allows you to decant already filtered water while the filter is still processing what you’ve poured in at the top, so you don’t have to wait until it’s finished to benefit from the filtration. A jug that filters your tap water to remove dissolved impurities may sound like nothing new, but ZeroWater’s Water Purifying Jug has innovative 5-stage filter technology that removes virtually all impurities from your tap water, to provide the purest-tasting drink possible and complete peace of mind – something that no other domestic filter jug can claim.ZeroWater eliminates 99.6% of the total dissolved solids compared to Brita, removing only 49.6%. The table below gives a clear indication of how much more Zero is able to remove when compared to Brita.
