A jug that filters your tap water to remove dissolved impurities may sound like nothing new, but ZeroWater’s Water Purifying Jug has innovative 5-stage filter technology that removes virtually all impurities from your tap water, to provide the purest-tasting drink possible and complete peace of mind – something that no other domestic filter jug can claim. The benefit of using a meter is that you can see the exact point when your filter needs changing, maximising its use. If you carry on past the recommended change point, as I did to see what would happen, you’ll notice that the filtered water has a strange smell or taste to it. In my case, the water started to smell fishy. This is a result of the filter no longer being able to remove all particles. Removing virtually all total dissolved solids (TDS) from tap water, these ZeroWater 5-Stage Water Filters are tailor-made to fit any ZeroWater dispenser, jug or pitcher, including the 1.7 Litre ZeroWater 5-Stage Water Filter Jug with Free TDS Meter. Neatly designed and simple to use, the ZeroWater system is a great way to get clean water no matter how bad your tap water is. Design and features

Total dissolved solids include everything that isn’t water, and the composition and concentration varies across the country, which explains why tap water can taste so different across various regions. TDS includes minerals, salts, metals, chemicals and run-off (often chemicals from farming). You should consider this to be important because dissolved solids enter the water supply through old pipelines. These can be full of heavy metals, hormones, hard minerals (like calcium and magnesium, fertilizers and pesticides. Family members that also bought ZeroWater (based on my recommendation) also had the same issue so I know I didn’t get a one-off faulty device.

Each filter will turn up to 150 litres of tap water into ZeroWater, but this depends on the original quality of your tap water and the amount of dissolved solids, so they will last longer in soft water areas. It is so powerful that it can filter things like milk and coke. This is how it gained its notoriety and popularity on social media. AquaTru Water Filter

TDS is measured, by the provided meter, in parts per million (PPM). The important thing to remember is that the TDS count is just about the particles in water, and there’s no distinction between harmful and good content. For example, if you were to test mineral water, you’d find that this has a higher TDS count than purified water.The ZeroWater filter jug is sold as the only water filter that removes more than 99% of dissolved solids from your water with a 5-stage filtration system. ZeroWater is the only gravity-fed water filtration system to match the purity of the very best filtered and bottled water, by capturing 99.6% of total dissolved solids, including residual minerals that can be prevalent in regional groundwater and run-off compounds that may leach into water supplies, especially after heavy rainfall. This breakthrough filtration system is certified by NSF International* to remove lead and other heavy metals, while The Good Housekeeping Research Institute recognise that ZeroWater removes more total contaminants than other brands of water filter. Although the water has zero TDS (total dissolved solids), it might still have other ‘non-solid’ contaminants. For instance, I noticed that it didn’t do anything to fight limescale and my brand new kettle is full of white scales. That’s akin to having purified water on tap, removing anything bad or foul tasting from the source product.

Rather than buying bottles of purified water, fill your reusable travel bottle with water filtered through ZeroWater – not only will you be able to enjoy the filtered water you want, but you won’t have to throw away plastic bottle after plastic bottle. Jugs that filter water are common, but the ZeroWater jugs offer something different: zero total dissolved solids (TDS) in the final product.Filtered water might look the same before and after filtering, but test the level of contaminants using the included laboratory-grade digital water quality meter and you’ll immediately see the difference. And when your filter’s coming towards the end of its life (the water starts to taste a little lemony), you can also use the meter to test the filtered water to confirm whether the filter needs changing.

This article was originally a glowing review of this product but has since been updated to reflect that I no longer recommend ZeroWater. It is for this reason that I started using AquaTru, which solved all of these problems and I’ll talk more about this later in the article. A small feature of ZeroWater is that the acidity of the water changes slightly when the filter is about to expire. This is to alert you that it is time to replace the filter. There are three extra stages that remove other bacteria. These stages are to make sure that your water is fully treated so that it produces a “000” reading on your water test kit (i.e. the (TDS meter). verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ The amount of solids dissolved in tap water varies throughout the United Kingdom. However, each Zero filter removes 18,000 milligrams of dissolved solids, which in theory makes the water purer. ZeroWater’s Biggest Selling Point You should replace the water filters immediately when your water test meter ( included for FREE) reads above “006”.
