It did TDS test and Iron/Ph test using test strip. It also open up all the filter to see what's inside those filter.
Conclusion from the video....
If you're looking for a water filter that's going to do a good job of cleaning up the water leaving the minerals alone but taking out some of the impurities the, Aquaphor seems like a great option
ZeroWater did a great job of cleaning up the water, removing the impurities including the iron.
And finally I really like the reverse osmosis that's offered by the AquaTrue, it does a great job.

I think ZW did update their filters > 5-7 years ago. If I'm not mistaken, a gasket contributed to some fishy smell eventually. If you go way back in reviews, you'll see that complaint. That was many years ago though and they've since updated them.
If one worries that every great deal is a fake product, no one would ever by anything on SD.
EDIT: ZeroWater's web-site shows both single and double-circle filters! Therefore, likely NOT a fake photo on Amazon.

$14.94 each (if buy 2-pack) at Amazon.
Will Amazon price match the single packs?
Per wirecutter "ZeroWater's most prominent claim is that its filters remove 100% of "total dissolved solids" in water—basically, minerals. Tests we conducted in 2016 confirmed that claim—but it's not necessarily a good thing. According to the World Health Organization (PDF), higher TDS in drinking water is associated with lower incidence of cancer and heart disease, and, as the WHO says, "Water with extremely low concentrations of TDS may also be unacceptable because of its flat, insipid taste.""
what does everyone think of the above?
Have you ever thought of people flushing their medicines/drugs down the toilet, along with hormonal products (aka the pills), all that are not being treated by the municipal facilities at all. Sure, some degrade "naturally", but most of these are anything but natural compounds.
"We aim to show you accurate product information. Manufacturers, suppliers and others provide what you see here, and we have not verified it.
Yet manufacturer listed says "Zerowater"
But the pictures attached to the product is definitely not a
zerowater filter pictured if compared to their own website.

A 0 on your TDS meter does NOT mean you have 'pure' water, that is why it is called 'Zero' water.
