The tap water here, while safe, really isn't something almost anyone would ever drink straight from the tap. It's incredibly hard water, the hardest in the US. For these reasons, we thought it better to exclude it as a control. I know that makes our taste test less than ideal, but that was at least our thinking on why we did it this way.

I live in a beach community and we have town water typical of that in many beach communities. In other words, it tastes bad and smells of chlorine. If you use it to make ice cubes, you will note your drink tasting different after a few minutes. I don't mean that in a good way either. On the advice of friends, I bought a PUR water filter and it improved the taste of both water and ice immeasurably. But the sediment that remained caused a buildup in my countertop ice machine that shortened its life. I replaced my ice maker twice in three years. When the second machine died due to mineral buildup, I decided to do something about reducing the dissolved solids. On the advice of another friend, I bought a Zero Water. It brought my town water from 318 down to 000 with the first batch of filtered water. I change the filter roughly once a month, when the reading gets up to 006. Mineral buildup is tremendously reduced in the ice maker. I did notice the PUR water tasted better than the Zero Water filter made, but it's a slight thing. The important thing to me is that my iced drinks and my coffee both taste as they should with either filter, especially compared to the piss the town supplies. And my ice maker and coffee maker both prefer the Zero Water. If I had to make a recommendation, if you have normal water, go with the PUR; if you have heavily sedimented water, go with the Zero Water.

Dissolved solids in drinking water is a good thing, as long as it’s minerals the body needs like magnesium. Water that is totally filtered of all dissolved solids usually doesn’t have a great taste. It’s more important to filter out lead, copper, and other contaminants than it is to remove all. This is why once you’re used to drinking high quality mineral water you prefer it to filtered water.

Chilling water makes almost every water taste better. 1) Cold water suppresses the sensitivity in your taste buds, so you don't taste the impurities 2) Chilled was causes dissolved solids to drop to the bottom of the glass. Try your TDS meter with room temp water vs. chilled water and you'll see a huge difference in even tap water. That said, the taste on your Zero water could indicate that it's time to replace the pitcher. If it's been 2-4 weeks and you're using it regularly then it's time to replace.

Unfortunately, many minerals, like a certain amount of calcium, are healthy to have in water and they make it taste better. But I have private well water and it has a TDS (total dissolved solids) of only 160, but it just tastes a little odd and I wonder about arsenic, which the Zero filter filters out. Arsenic is tasteless, unless there are huge amounts of it. So I use a Zero water filter and am used to the flat tasting water and like it. The TDS meter that comes with the Zero filter is amazingly accurate and consistent. I have a charcoal filter that lowers the TDS by only 30 and that surprised me. I've been to Central Florida and other places where the water smelled and tasted like sulfur and was pretty much undrinkable, even though they said it was safe.

It seems that a combination of zero followed by Brita would solve the taste problem. I saw a similar video where the presenter cut the units in half to show the inner differences and similarities among the brands tested. Brita and some other competitors active elements appeared to be made largely (entirely?) of either granular or monolithic (pressed molded) activated carbon. However, the Zero uses a fair amount of ion exchange resin (mixed bed or just cation) as it is the only one that provides removal percentages which are close to or better than 95% for essentially all metal ions. This is done at the expense of activated carbon which is minimal in the zero filter. By combining the two, first the Zero and then through the Brita, one can remove any traces of what might be coming from the ion exchange resins in the Zero (taste). Also, the fact that there are for all intents and purposes, no dissolved solids. And this can leave the water tasting flat. That is why they add a mineral profile (essentially a mix of various salts and minerals at very low levels to adjust the taste) to some bottles waters.

If there is one thing I've learned dealing with the water filtration industry is that vendors or dealers or advertisers can say "whatever" they want without any repercussions whatsoever. Now the Zero Water is a total con in that they put water softener resin beads to get rid of the hardwater, which is directly proportional to high TDS readings. But within a week, those numbers will shoot up fast. And the amount of carbon it uses is insufficient in proportion to the adsorbtion properties of the Carbon necessary to remove specific water treatment chemicals. In addition, did you hear the host of the video trying to down play the high TDS readings of the Brita? He made it so obvious that he reps for Brita. Now both of those gravity fed filters are a joke in comparison to a standard carbon block water filter that requires city water pressure to force clean the water.

I'm not familiar with that brand, but yeah...you'd need spring water to taste the most like spring water. If you're just filtering water from a tap the flavor isn't going to be similar. I would say ZeroWater very likely tastes the least like spring water, since spring water is known for its mineral content, whereas Zero removes all minerals and other dissolved solids (both good and bad). So PUR or Brita are likely to taste more like spring water in that respect.

The filters are very expensive, but generally cheaper than the $1.00/gal you'd pay at the supermarket. Roughly, 0.76/gal. @ 15 gal/filter. Of course, absolute price varies by tap water quality. My CA water quality is in the 300 range. Nevertheless, the environmental impact is significant.

I used Brita for many years and the first time I tried zero I switched. When I tasted them side by side the zero tasted like nothing where the brita still had a bit of the tap water taste. The only down side to zero is the price of the filters and it takes much longer for the water to be filtered but the zero water is for sure cleaner.

I switched to zerowater last week after using a Brita for about 2 years. Before that, I drank mostly bottled water. It took about a day to get used to the different flavor, especially in tea, but I can say now I definitely prefer it. It's much closer in taste to bottled water, while Brita water really only ever tasted like slightly filtered tap. And even though this goes against what the internet thinks, it doesn't attract ions like a magnet due to it's low TDS rating, and quickly go off or stale. I left for the weekend last Friday, and I forgot my YETI at home. When I returned, the water inside smelled and tasted fresh. Had I left Brita water in it, it would've no doubt smelled like stale tap water. And another surprise I found, is the same property extended to tea. When returning from the same weekend, my almost empty pitcher of tea in the fridge just smelled like tea, not like tea that had gone off. The tea smell also doesn't linger forever in my YETI, or the pitcher. This isn't really something I expected to find with the zerowater, but I did. I suppose when you remove 100% of the solids, you remove 100% of the bacteria growing capability. Oh, also, my mom hates tap water and vastly preferred the taste of zero water in a blind taste test as opposed to the tap or Brita. I also came to the same conclusion in a blind test.

The water tasted funny but only because I was accustomed to drinking water that wasn't good quality. I can care less about how good water tastes if it isn't as healthy for me as it needs to be. If zero water can filter out all of the garbage then I'm all for it.

Here in your neighboring state of CA, a single Zero Water filter will last you a week at best. That's 4 filters every month with each filter costing about 13 bucks, landing you at $52 a month or roughly $624 a year, just for clean drinking water. And if you think it'll taste the same as tap water once it reaches it's due date for replacement, or if you're thinking of extending thr filters life for a tiny bit, you're never more mistaken. Somehow, within a week once TDS levels the filter is outputting about the same as the tap, it will taste like putrid salt water and you'll instantly spit it out as soon as it touches your tongue. Lots of reviews on Amazon has confirmed the same experience. So whether you like it or not, you're gonna be forced to buy those expensive filters, otherwise you'll end up with a brand new paperweight dispenser. Not really the cost affordable option I was hoping for, but I'll just stick to Brita once again.

I don't deny California has hard water, but your estimation of Zero's lifespan feels like hyperbole at best. Based on the data I've seen, Arizona has the highest TDS water in the US by a healthy margin. Water from the taps at my home starts around 550 TDS. The ZeroWater is sitting in the fridge in our office / studio. It's not used as often as a typical home's primary water filter would be, however, over the last 3 months as part of our standard tests and then as part of using it over time the filter has run 10-12 reservoirs full of water through it. Certainly for my family's home we would fill a water reservoir this size perhaps 3-4 times a week. I just re-ran a TDS test to see where it's at and our meter is reporting a TDS of 0. I think for you to say "Somehow, within a week once TDS levels the filter is outputting about the same as the tap" is just wrong. I don't see how any normal use could burn through the filter's life in a week, even living in a high TDS water source area. I say all of this while still fundamentally agreeing with you...Brita is overall a better filter product, in my view. It's less expensive, while still getting the job done. Nevertheless, I think your thoughts around the Zero's lifespan are unfair and inaccurate based on the tests we've conducted thus far.

One thing people don't understand is that water that has no solids, no salts, no dissolved anything doesn't taste good at all. In fact, lacking those minerals and salts makes the water taste flat (no depth) and sharp (not a good mouth feel). So removing all the solids may sound great, but it's not good drinking water. The question is whether it removes the harmful components in water, not whether it just removes everything. In order for water to taste good and sweet requires a certain level and combination of salts and minerals.

My choice is a home Reverse Osmosis system PLUS a Zerowater pitcher afterwards. I live in a super high TDS area.

I like that you used multiple people to test the water, but tasting "better" is a relative thing that really doesn't help that much. I JUST started using the 40-cup ZW and I like the slightly sweet flavor. It dropped the TDS from 321 to 000 (although I doubt the tester, which uses conductivity, actually showed the TDS because there might be non-conductive materials in the water). Another channel I watched use one person per filter to check taste (and forgot smell). I loved that you tested a 3rd-party filter, kinda put Pur to shame. That you used highly contaminated water was excellent. I didn't like how you referred to manufacturer lists of what's removed by each filter, and here's why: you assumed that each company provided a complete list of compounds/elements, and then you incorrectly stated that the Pur filters remove the greatest variety of them, but the chart you showed says "unknown," which means that it wasn't tested. In addition, you made no effort to verify this in any way, such as by pH, chlorine/chloramine tests, or by using a test that would should ALL types of contaminants for the TDS. I liked the speed test was useful. Another channel only tested a single cup, which made it look like ZW was the fastest. One final note - demineralized water isn't the best choice if you aren't getting the minerals you need from food you eat. In the end, this was useful.

Pure water would have no dissolved solids in it to create the extra ions available to allow conductivity through it and give you a resistance measurement that isn't infinite or open circuit when tested. So that tester if zero is how it is reporting an infinite resistance could indicate a pure water with 0 tds = infinite ohms. You would think it would give you the same reading in the water or not on that however and how accurate anything other then infinite ohms would have to be programmed into the resistance measurement by equation or conversion table. To get real water measurements for all substances you need dozens of lab tests that are chemical and other in form outside of just resistance that can't give you measurements on anything accurately. You might be able to just remove all salts and remove enough ions to get open readings on resistance and leave everything else untouched given the quantity of contaminants to water ratio that are being tested for with a TDS value. I'm curious about the zero water filter construction as the pur and brita filters are effective for the chemical physical properties on how they work much on carbon bonds formed with contaminates that are forced through activated carbon structures and particular screen scales that block larger materials from passing. difference

There is a serious flaw used in the methodology used for the testing. That is that there is no information provided about the taste testers, and you only used four. If the young people shown were the only people who gave their opinions, you can't possibly determine how their opinions can be generalized across the entire population of people interested in these products. Especially, since people's tastes change with age. Seriously, I was still eating ketchup sandwiches when I was ten, and there were definitely other options. Water also tastes different from municipality to municipality, and there is no indication where you live. I know you're commissions are higher due to the prices of these systems. Also, the majority of people don't seem to understand how reviews like this should work, and are giving you up votes anyway. But, maybe you should consider reviewing products with attributes that aren't so subjective. Even, if you just used your readings on the contaminants,and left the taste test out, you could eliminate that element. of the tests.

You're not wrong. This isn't a flawless study, nor is it trying to be. We were simply providing the best taste test data we could given our limitations in terms of our skills, budget, and time. To answer some of your questions, we're on Phoenix, AZ tap water. Taste testers were 22 to 37. We had around 15 people do the taste test. Fairly evenly split between men and women. Lastly, per your final comments, we review a range of products. Some are more subjective, others more objective. I'm sorry you didn't like this review, but I stand by our methodology here. It's not perfect, but it's far better than most reviews. If you think our taste test is worthless then you can simply look at the TDS tests by themselves, which are purely objective. We include both subjective and objective info on most reviews so each reader can decide what's important to them. I don't really get your comment regarding commissions. Yes, we use referral link, a fact that is disclosed first thing in the video and the description. But to say our "commissions are higher due to the prices of these systems" is just wrong. We're using Amazon links for all of these, so it's exactly the same. Moreover, these systems are relatively inexpensive. But if what you're saying is true...then why would we choose Brita as our favorite? It's among the least expensive options. The commission structure has zero impact on our ratings or recommendations. To imply otherwise is simply untrue. Our recommendations are based on our experiences and tests with the product. We recommend what we think is best based on our experiences.
