How does your drinking water measure up to ZeroWater?

Although I didn’t officially call myself green when I was in college, I suppose I was already making small steps to be more eco-friendly even then. I ditched plastic water bottles way back then and subscribed to a monthly service where my water is delivered. 

It’s fine and dandy, but sometimes I do wish I had something that was a little less hassle and available at all times {I can run out of water before it’s delivered}.

ZeroWater may just be my answer. I was sent a 10 cup pitcher to review and I was excited to actually see if I would like it better than my 5 gallon bottles a-top my home Water Cooler.

As a Water Pitcher, it performs great. I love the fact that I have a pour spot and a push button spout at the bottom {non-technical description there!}. Here’s how the ZeroWater Pitcher actually works…

You screw the filter into the top of the white spout in the pitcher. You run your tap water straight into the Pitcher and let it run through the filter. It will then fill up the reservoir of the pitcher. 

This is the only thing I dislike about this system. It takes awhile to actually fill up the pitcher because it’s a relatively slow process for the water to actually go through the filter. It makes sense that it would take a bit to actually filter the water, but it’s slow. 

Just make sure to do it when you’re not needing water immediately and when you can do something else while you wait, like empty the dishwasher!

So, this is a nice Pitcher with a great water filter, but what’s so great about it and why is it called ZeroWater? So glad you asked! 

This is what makes ZeroWater stand out above the rest…

The ZeroWater Pitcher comes with a built-in TDS {total dissolved solids} meter {when you’re not using it, it fits right onto the top of your pitcher – so you’ll never lose it!}. 

ZeroWater says that your water should, you guessed it, read “000”… completely absent of any TDS. So, I tested 3 things. Our unfiltered tap water, our 5 gallon bottled water, and the tap water after it passed through the ZeroWater filter in the Pitcher.

My tap water read “137”, which by some state standards wasn’t absolutely horrible… but bad enough that I won’t be drinking it {which I didn’t anyways}. 

I was very happy to see that the water that we buy monthly that’s used in our Water Cooler only read “001” so it’s nice to know they are actually providing us with a great product, and just like they guarantee, the ZeroWater Pitcher water read “000”!

One reason that ZeroWater provides you with the Water Testing Meter is that your ZeroWater filter needs to be replaced when the reading becomes “006”. 

The rate at which you’ll need to replace your filters depends on the number your tap water reads before being filtered.  The lower the number, the longer your filter will last.

I’m also glad to say that the water tastes like… water and nothing more.  I can’t stand the taste of our tap water, so there’s definitely a difference.

Although I probably won’t be completely replacing our Water Cooler with the ZeroWater Pitcher, it will be a nice addition to our family’s way of drinking water. 

If our Water Cooler does bite the dust, though, I’m pretty sure I won’t buy another and completely rely on our Pitcher. But for now, it’s definitely joining us in our family’s RV so we won’t have to lug a huge pack of plastic water bottles with us on trips!
