ZeroWater 2.4L 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.

My thoughts after 1 week of use:- The pitcher is functional and well-built. Just make sure you let all the water pass through the filter before pouring it out into another jug which you can then store into the fridge.- The 1.7l pitcher fits in the door of a regular (i.e. small) British fridge.- The filtered water tastes a bit "flat" and "heavy" (no strong taste, rather a "sensation") - definitely not "better" than tap water. Add a few drops of a concentrate to remineralise it and experience a day-to-night change. Remineralised filtered water tastes as good as your best spring water imho.Overall I'm happy with our purchase. No comments yet on the filter lifetime. Our tap water in North London shows 290-300 ppm using the bundled test unit, definitely on the hard side of the scale.

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.

As advertised it does give you zero water excellent quality filtered water, the problem I have is the pitcher or the jug as we call it in the UK, when filling it up you need to remove the lid physically take the lid off lay it down somewhere while you feel the judge unlike others where it is on a hinged lid, when you fill the jug you cannot pour any water into anything or use it until it's actually filtered through because it has a two-part lid the front part of the lid has a very flimsy poor fitting rubber seal which allows unfiltered water from the upper part to be poured out with the filtered water, when pouring water out it's not a very good pour if you're tipping it up you have to be quite gentle otherwise the stream will start to spread out and be uncontrollable , the actual handle on the jug itself isn't too bad It's not very well balanced but it's okay, when you fit a new filter you must make sure you hold the filter at the bottom and do it up as tight as you can otherwise water leaks between the top container and the filter not very good design at all.As for the water quality tastes amazing and as stated it has zero dissolved solids .To be fair I only bought this type of jug because I wanted it to go in the door of my fridge if I had more room I probably would have bought the round jug as it looks a better build but again until I see it I won't know it's just a shame I have to spend my money waste my money first before testing the product.If I was to compare this to a Britta filter jug the jug alone not the filtering capabilities I would say Britta wins hands down.

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.
