SimpleLab Tap Score Water Test: Does ZeroWater Really Work?

You can’t see, smell, or taste PFAS, TTHMs, BPS, and other potentially unhealthy endocrine-disrupting or carcinogenic chemicals. The only way to know what’s in your drinking water is to test it. And that’s exactly what SimpleLab’s Tap Score product does. We ordered three separate tests from Tap Score - one for our Central Florida tap water, one for our Whirlpool refrigerator water dispenser, and one for our ZeroWater countertop filter to see what each of these presents in our drinking water.
Tap Score ships with everything you need to test your water. There are two bottles, one plastic and one glass. There’s also a chlorine test strip that you can test your tap water’s chlorine with, since it’s unstable and evaporates quickly. All the instructions are in the box too. They recommend you run your tap water for a few minutes to clear out anything that might be lurking in the pipes, then collect your samples for more accurate results. Keep track of which test is for what - you can do this online easily - box everything up, and use the pre-paid mailing label included with each kit.
You can (and definitely should) test your own city or well water for TTHMs, heavy metals, PFAS and more with Tap Score here: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=171032...
Here’s what we found.

We now use a Lifestraw glass pitcher filter to filter our tap water. It’s fast, the filters last a long time, and it removes microplastics, chlorine, fluoride and reduces PFAS. You can find that here. amzn.to/3HYiTiP
If you have a Whirlpool refrigerator, you can find their EveryDrop filters here: amzn.to/3AiIQpR. For Samsung refrigerators, the filters are here: amzn.to/3HU8DXv
Waterdrop makes a popular and affordable under-sink RO system: amzn.to/3QHV8NA

I asked my local water company for a copy of their test result. After spending a half hour on the phone with no one seeming to know what I was talking about, they directed me to a website. But it didn’t have nearly as many results as yours do. Probably a good idea to test your own water because the governments asleep at the wheel.

Great video. I have seen multiple claims that zero water does not remove disinfected byproducts well. However your test shows that it does do a good job, although not completely removing chloroform it still removed most of it. And removed all of the other one listed. Thank you for a thorough analysis

Thanks! Since these tests are stupid expensive, we tried a gofundme a year or so but couldn't generate enough interest. Would LOVE to follow this up with more comprehensive testing!

I have a feeling there is disastrous and dangerous water all over Florida, and DeSantis is looking the other way. In 2021, 30 different PFAS were found in Miami, Broward and Palm Beach tap water, with the highest concentrations detected in samples collected near the Miami International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airports. Makes sense due to the fire-fighting foam used during training sessions then washed into the ground or local waterways. PFAS were also detected in Biscayne Bay and nearby tributary canals. We're going to need to treat for this stuff. Definitely do the PFAS testing.

I have a zero water pitcher. Just noticed the smell of chlorine coming from my Zero Water and thought to myself "wtf" Grabbed a glass and filled it with tap water and realized it was coming from my tap. Got another glass and filled it with the filtered water the chlorine smell was gone. Never realized how strong the smell of chlorine was until I started drinking from my Zero Water.

@FreshandFelicia 4 месяца назад
Noticed the same exact thing. Now, just imagine all the other heavy metals, additives, and disinfectant byproducts that you can't smell or taste. That's the scary part! We have been triple filtering to make our filters last longer. We will use our Samsung refrigerator water filter, run that water through a Britta filter, and then pour the Britta water into the zero water. We get about three weeks out of our filters now.

@@FreshandFelicia I didn't really think much of it because my tap water was at 55ppm which is decent for tap in my area, but yea you never know what makes up those PPM.

Most water systems no longer use chlorine because it evaporates too quickly. They've switched to chloramines, which contain ammonia, that tend to stay in your tap water. Yuck!

It's very close to 7. With proper nutrition, our bodies do a great job of correcting any imbalances. I'd rather drink slightly acidic water than ingest PFAS or heavy metals!
