ZeroWater Filter - 3 Month Follow Up 

Reverse osmosis is dead water if you don't know berkey filters are better at filtration

@@shnoah641Berkeley are garbage. There are many independent test done. They add heavy metals not reduce

Zero filters are terrible. Modern castle sent off water samples from Arizona town water to an independent laboratory and they were worse than brita. Many many better ones out there

according to WHO healthy drinking water should have TDS value range between 150 to 400.

So you got the one filter that actually works for some reason. That doesn't make everyone else crazy.

Maan that is hazardous, dangerous lvl is 500, so I dunno man think about moving.

P

I would consider filtering your water through a cheaper one, then this one to save money. My water is almost as bad (340).

I saw a comment from someone who used 2 Zerowater pitchers, allows the filter on pitcher #1 to reach 18-30, then puts the filter from pitcher #2 (which has been used to "refilter" water that went through pitcher #1 first) into pitcher #1. He said that meant he uses far fewer filters per year this way! That is what I am going to do - 20 cup Zerowater pitcher on my kitchen counter, then that filtered water will go into the reservoir of a 10-cup Zerowater filter in my fridge (I love COLD water, I live in quite a hot climate). My tap water shows about 315 ppm on the meter, I have never used it to drink here, but even the supposed spring water I buy for almost $1 a gallon shows 174 ppm! And after filtering the tap water, it is 0, just as the advertising says. Amazing.

@@debbiedogs1 I do this. and it works.

Great to hear from someone isAZ that's where I'm at and I just bought ZeroWater because the tap water is disgusting.

What's a tank ?

Just bought my Himalayan salt !

Exactly!!!

I was thinking of that

pink himalayan salt edit:(?) it’s a question I forgot the question mark

@@pinkroseyroseto be honest Celtic salt is much better than any other salt on the planet.

How often do u replace the filters? And how much are they?

@jaimeabbott1386 it depends on the water in your area. I just bought the dispenser type one not the jug . The units come with a tester and they recommend replacement of filter when reader reads 006 , 000 means you are good . I'm not sure how much the filter are but I did buy one when I bought my unit I want to sayvit was between 15 and 24 us dollars where I got mine. Changing of filter depends on how hard the filter works pretty much

Exactly. I bought a Brita pitcher when it was on sale for like 10$. And since you can get like 6 Brita filters for like $4.50 a piece, I filter my water through Brita filter first, then filter it again through my expensive zerowater filters. Makes it last longer AND you get all that chloroform and fluoride out of your water.

It may or may not. In my case, I use Brita-brand faucet filter on my tab, and TDS reads 67 with the faucet filter, while the raw water reads 56 (without the faucet filter). And the filter is still in its active lifespan. I've decided not to use Brita system anymore in the future. Make sure that if the suggested strategy works for your particular situation before settling on the otherwise sensible conjecture.

​@@crenshaw46our Britta, when tested with the zero filter test, adds hardness to our tap water...

I use filtered water from fridge to fill my zero water 7 cup. Others in the house don't mind using water from fridge

This is such a useful comment. I’m filling my brita right now lol my only issue so far has been that the water doesn’t filter into the 40 cup monster dispenser. It’s been in there overnight and still hasn’t done much. I squeezed it as directed by the company but it didn’t seem to do much at all. Does it ever actually fill the container? lol

@@Stephaniemickle Yeah, not sure what's up with that, it should fill the pitcher within 10 minutes or so. Maybe the filter is defective or plugged or not put in right?

@@Stephaniemickle I've been using ZeroWater filters for at least 5 years now.I've had that happen only twice. Its a simple fix, remove the filter and shake it hard for a few seconds. May need to bang on the side with your hand. Of course not hard enough to break the plastic or hurt your hand. It's called "burping" the filter. It gets the bubble out of the inside. It should work fine afterwards. This burping of the filter is rare necessity, btw.

​@@StephaniemickleThe rectangular lid fits so tight that it creates a vacuum in the top tank. As soon as you move the top rectangular lid so it has a visible air gap, then the top will drain until it fills the bottom tank.. I hope that helps.

Shake filter hard several times on its side. may have a bubble blocking it.

You may want to check out the RU-vid channel modern castle and their episode on water filters. The zero water's actual filter created byproducts that are harmful. Also check out the water guru channel.

Zero Filter is a *LIE!!* Please stop using it!! It just changes the water to make it _READ_ zero PPS, but it's not true!! It's a parlor trick!!

Can’t be more harmful than drinking recycled shit water!

A gallon a day= 1 month. A half a gallon a day= 2 months. For someone not working out, it might last a month or two at most. Depending on how many minerals are in you water, it might not last long at all.

You must not drink much water if you are only having to change once a year for 30 gallons LOL

@@matt3247 I really don't.

@@slyfox4564 yeah except she said year homie. Those are my people. Make it last as long as you can until you have to give in and replace the filter lol

Mine lasts about 2 1/2 to 3 months and I drink a lot of water daily

Yeah the water tests at 44 where I currently live and the filter still reads 000 after 9 months. I only even changed the filter because the water was coming out far slower, yet still reading 000

Just got my zero water and tap water registered 345.

The TDS almost hit 1000 last year where I live. The Zero filter lasted about 15 runs, distilled water is about my only option.

@@mikethebloodthirsty spring water?

Yep. Mine read like 339 😮

@@mikethebloodthirsty Filter it with a cheaper filter first then use the zero filter, so start with something like the Brita or some other company which will give you water that is around 300-200 ppm then you can put that filtered water in the zero filter and it was both make your zero filter last longer and faster filtering.

There are some shower filters out there but I've never used one sorry.

any changes @danhammond9066 ?

I am In Norfolk UK and thinking of buying one

I live in Norfolk Va too and I have been struggling with this, I have a zero water filter and I find it removed everything but I’m unsure about the chlorine (due to another video I saw where lab tests showed zero water cleared everything (but chlorine) because of this I’m going to get chlorine test to test my zero water as well. 😢

Make sure your TDS tester works

yes mine works great very accurate

6 months?... no way.

I use zero water everyday and my filter has lasted me 4 months to date and the water taste absolutely amazing❤️ best purchase I've ever made in water filtration systems!!!

I've had mine for 2 weeks and use it at least 3 times a day and the water tastes fishy now. It's absolutely disgusting.

Run your water through a cheap brita sink filter first and then transfer that filtered water to your zero water filter. Your water should be a lot cleaner when you run it through zerowater filter, therefore making it last longer. Should save you quite a bit of money as well since brita filters are REALLY cheap.

I got the same... about 3 weeks. It also went from 9ppm to +800ppm is less then 4 days. And my tap water is only around 320ppm. Got the zero filter 26day ago... it's about 18€ for a filter that can only filter about 50L watter, so i'm done with it. I ordered a "Geekpure 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System with UV Filter 75GPD" instead.

Yeah. Thats why I'm here. I disassembled the entire things, and washed it in hot soapy water. Started a new batch and, I`m right back where I started. Gross rotten fish smell. I'm out

You can but I don't keep mine in the fridge. I clean out the jug once a week though.

@@LivingWellTV Okay, thank you for the information. Hope you have a nice weekend🙂

A bit of colloidal silver may help as well, more of an anti fungal.

@@AllynVibes how would you use that in a water tank?

@@Stephaniemickle I just add drops pre or post filter.

Lmao

Depends. If you are eating food too and not being very active your body will be fine. If you are sweating and working out and losing minerals and drinking distilled water it can be dangerous. There is a reason sports drinks have alot of sodium in them.

I bought zero water and i got wet filters. Is that normal?

Yeah but there is one Zero Water jug that does not filter out impurities and uses a smaller filter to weed out the taste of treated chlorinated water and should not be named Zero Water as this can be deceptive advertising by the brand of Zero Water. And Ivwould give them a big fat zero on the name being a Product's Branding as a badge and not the true type you and I use. This other Zero Water Product could kill us. Or at least damage our good bacteria in our gut by unintentional and misleading information in the product's name discribing what it is, but not truely what it does. I always read what product do as the product name can be misleading but the danger exists for those that do not research product info and to the ignorant consumer, where common sence is uncommon, this misconception can be a serious problem. And I agree with Za Toby's answer that if you work out alot that our bodies depleat minerals not found in Zero Water that has the same quality as distilled water. I use a powdered drink mix that I add to my filtered Zero Water that has both B vitamins and minerals to promote rehydration, and replace residual amounts of sodium loss found in sport drinks.

Yes my grandfather smoked 3 packs a day for 70 years and never got cancer. SO??????? Man oh man you are and idiot

Drama queens

Hope you don't mind but where are you based and what is the TDS of your tap water?

They actually have a glass one! Plastic is not good

🤣🤣🤣

Zero have been lab tested to be a very average filter. Lab results were worse than brita

Maybe? IDK. Maybe your tester isn't working right? Maybe you are over filling your container? IDK. Do you check the water frequently?

I'd like to know what you end up purchasing next.

Ive read other consumers would use the zero water first then run the filtered water through one of the higher end Britas, for the removal of microplastics. I drink a lot of bottle spring water so I don't think it'd make a huge difference with me. Plus, Zero water do have a glass option.

It is a little too much. It may cause low sodium levels in the blood, especially if you drink more than 2 pints an hour. Just check symptoms of hyponatremia.

The whiteness may be just simple air bubbles. If nothing remains on the bottom of the water when it's done, and the whiteness seems to go *up,* then I think it's just air has gotten into the system somewhere. I'm no expert, so please don't take my word for it, but that may mean a pipe has a leak somewhere.

@@Dimeinurear I know it's not a pipe, only because that statement is true for every place that I've used/gotten water from in the Coachella Valley. When pulling from a water source hooked up to the local, multi-city, public water district, anyway. There's nothing visual, such as floaters or other deposits, left in the water once it becomes clear. An entire glass gradually changes from white to clear after about a minute, minute and a half. That's for an average 12oz tumbler type glass but as it (whatever 'it' is in there) dissipates, it doesn't noticeably rise like air bubbles would. It seems to just fade away. Hornet, now that I think about it I can't take the air bubbles theory of the table just yet. Although it looks as if the white cloudiness just dissipates, I've noted many times that it always starts from the bottom, working its way upward. Perhaps the particular public water system the valley installed introduces air into the water at the facility. (Now you got my wheels turning...) Where kind of isolated out here. I wouldn't doubt that the water district intentionally introduces air out of necessity so that there's enough water pressure to get the water to the more isolated residential customs (like those in Sky Valley) but, being that I'm in the city, it appears so white because I'm closer to the source of air which still has a good kick behind it as it hasn't lost its steam while traveling yet. Hmmm, man, for 20 years the water being white has always bothered me and made me wary then you come along and bam. I feel like together we're Einstein our something, haha, or, well, you know what I mean. Thanks for that. 😁

@@opcpixieHah, it's weird though.. cuz at my mom's house, ONLY the sink in the basement gets the fizzy water, and ONLY when it's warm. Very strange, but like I said I'm pretty certain it's just air bubbles. Try putting your ear close to it and hearing if you hear a fizzing noise!

I believe it reduces fluoride in tap water by around 99%. zerowater.co.uk/pages/what-does-zerowater-remove

@@LivingWellTV That's great, definitely buying one this week and thanks for the reply.

Just use fluoride toothpaste

My water is 101, my Zero water started tasting like Crap after 2 months and it is still showing Zero!🤬🤬

@@wallychambe1587 how much do you use it? Does the water stay in it for any length of time - ever?

@@andrewjenkinson7052 Just started using it, it was in the refrigerator for about a month, I didn't drink out of it every day.

@@wallychambe1587 That's probably it then. Bacteria building up in stagnant water. Bacteria are not TDS so won't affect zero reading. Try not filling it. That will change the water more frequently.

@@JuggHomie 🤣🤣

Something definitely wrong. I've never had that issue. Either a bad filter or maybe something in your tap doesn't work well with the filter. 114 TDS isn't bad, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Not that I don't trust your local water, but things can happen along the way. Probably just a bad filter and some of the media is leaking. Maybe buy from a different seller next time.

what are you cleaning it with?
