Remember to buy two sets of it, either a pitcher or a dispenser. In my apartment, I have about 300 TDS. The filter is supposed to last for 8 to 15 gallons only (http://zerowater.lv/img/faq-image...ast-EN.png). You'll know when the filter reaches the end of its life because the water will taste like shit, having dead fish taste. But this is due to the ion exchange process, not contamination in the water, so the TDS level is still below 10.
If you buy two of them, after the first filter starts to smell, it will still lower the TDS to 10. Then, you can filter the shit water again with the new filter, which is expected to handle 40 gallons or more, based on the chart. This will give the filter a much longer lifespan than pulling 300 TDS directly into a new filter
So basically I have 3/4 of the tank full of air at all times. It's now a waste of money and space.
Alternatives:
I do have the pitcher and that one fills up fine and works well. I recommend the pitcher. You'll develop some muscles because its a little heavy, but at least it actually fills up all the way.
Bonus: The TDS tool I do not even use. If your water starts to smell a little 'fishy' its time to replace. You may need to replace it more frequently depending on where you live.

Doesn't matter anyway I suppose. I'm debating buying this to add to my 12-cup version and keep one of them in the fridge. In the early days, people said it was better to keep in the fridge for bacteria reasons but I also read that the company I think it was ZW) said to only use room temperature (filtering performance).

The taste feels off, like it's missing something, where it can be kind of unpleasant and hard to get used to. I know the objective is to heavily filter out the water, but it basically becomes distilled water and makes me wonder how healthy that actually is.
Plus, it may be the water quality where I live(avg. ~350tds in water report), but the filters do not last as long as they seem like they should. The taste gets even worse and almost plasticky when it's close to time to replace.
I wish I invested in a RO system instead.

In my experiences with the TDS meters included in ZeroWater bundles, they're pretty accurate and in line with unaffiliated water testers I had. Like another poster, I don't think you need the tester to tell you when your filter needs to be changed since you'll be able to taste or smell when you need to, but it's kinda fun to see how much of a difference this and/or other filtrations systems actually filter, or to measure what your tap is putting out.
