Love my Zero dispenser, I think it gives you the best water available out of all the brands and their filters. That being said, its not for those who are impatient, filling up the dispenser takes a little time cause the filtration rate is pretty slow going from top to bottom. Luckily I only have to refill mine every few days.



Problem with RO water systems is on average you waste 3 gallons of water for 1 gallon of clean drinking water, so that cost quickly comes back and bites you. It always surprises me how many people have no clue how wasteful RO systems are.

They could give out the dispenser for free. They want to kill you on the sale of their filters. That's where the money is made.

My tap water measures around 150 tds. I use a $3 Brita filter to get it down to ~ 90 tds, and then the zero water filter for drinking. Each filter typically lasts about 3~4 months for a 1 person household. Cheaper and more convenient than buying bottled water.

Good deal, BUT you should go with a real RO water filter system if at all possible, unless you want to be paying the high cost of the Zero Water filters, which are quite expensive in the long run.

It is sold by Amazon.com, that's mean you can use the $5 for the $50 giftcard rebate and pickup10off for $10, not bad!

Listen to the guys above me. Buyer beware, this brand is the best in the game but the filters will bankrupt you at 15-17 dollars every few weeks.

I do 2 stage: Costco pitcher with Kirkland carbon filtration as stage 1, then feed that into Zerowater DI resin beads for the final cleaning. This method allows the more expensive ZW filter to roughly double its usable gallons/life. My starting TDS is rather low at 156 ppm, and I can go nearly a month before the ZW is finally releasing 2-3 ppm.

Your answer made me want to go read more about it and I thank you for bringing it up as we have several of these. A lot of times we just buy a new pitcher that has a filter with it because it's cheaper that way. My question though is, your saying 3 gallons can fit in one of those filters?

Do you ever notice your water tasting different before your zero water registers 2-3 ppm? There are a lot of times ours starts to taste funny but still reads 0

Negative. I've read reviews that claim a sour note hits the palate when the filter nears exhaustion, but I wonder if this is a frequency issue. I run 3-4 loads a day through mine, so the media doesn't have a chance to dry out. I could see taste being altered by media that isn't getting used as much.
edit: bear in mind, carbon filtration in stage 1 is also probably stripping a lot of off flavor components before it hits the DI stage.

Yeah it's a sour taste, we have 3 pitchers that we use. We thought maybe it happened whenever it gets left out too long while filling it. We try to keep it in fridge as much as we can. Thanks for the info you shared.

We keep the final water in a glass pitcher in the fridge, not in the filter pitcher, as I don't want the water sitting inside the plastic/in contact with the media longer than necessary. Still it gets enough use to keep the media moist daily.

Happens to me 100% of the time. I think it's Zero Water's way of forcing you to buy a new filter even when folks are OK with a few PPM efficiency loss. I heard that the manufacturing cost is so high (so the profit margins are so low) on these filters that the company has to force its users to buy more to make the money they need. Hence the sour tasting dark pattern.

Don't know what it is about my water but the filters literally last months like up to a year, confirmed with two separate ppm meters (one not from them) and starting at about 60ppm. My tap water is sediment and charcoal filtered first but stuff gets through my house filters anyway to clog my shower heads, never the zero water.
I'm also a specific spring water or bust guy and can taste the difference between brands easily and ours still tastes fine after who knows how long now on our current filter.
