Zen Water Filter,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 4 Gallon Countertop Water Filter - Save $$$ - Transform Tap Water to Pure Healthy Mineral Drinking Water
I purchased the Zen Water Filtration system about two weeks. I had been using a faucet based Pur filter, which kept leaking as splashing water everywhere. I choose this type of system because of the alkaline aspects of it. Water with Alkaline provides antioxidants, and helps to raise the pH levels, which is good for a lot of health conditions.The Zen Water system arrived within a few days of ordering it. My order included both the 4 gallon dispenser and countertop models. I was able to set the countertop model up with about 20 minutes, after reading the cryptic documentation. However, a picture is worth a thousand words, and based on the picture, I was able to set it up. When I opened the box, I was surprised to discover that both items were in the same box, so I had to sort through the contents very carefully. Needless to say, it is now sitting on my countertop. It took about 20 minutes before I could see some water coming into the dispensing chamber. When it was about 1 quarter full, I tried tasting the water, and I have to admit, I was not impressed. However, I waited until the chamber was completely full, and it tasted very good. The water has a very smooth taste and I don't taste any powder or residue from going through the filtration process or that I experienced using the Pur water filter. I tried comparing the water taste with water from several other systems: from my faucet, Brita and Pur water filters. The Zen Water system tasted significantly different. The water from my faucet made me think that I was drinking pure chlorine, the water from the Brita and Pur filter tastes like there was chauky it, but the water from the Zen Water Filtration system had no odor, and was very easy to drink. I intend on buying a few stainless steel water bottles so that I can replace the Brita filter that I was using at work. I compared this water filter with the Santevia system, which cost $200. They both use the same filtering methodology. The Santevia does mention that it is BPA free (for those who don't know, that means that the plastic will not bleed into your drinking water, which occurs when using plastic bottles). I have compared the taste of the Santevia with the Zen filter and the tastes are very similar. The overall construction of the parts seems relatively the same. So for me it made more sense to purchase this model.

Easy to put together,good thing, the brochures stinks. The six methods of filtering works great. 4 gallons is just fine for me and the mrs. Yup if you want a fine water filter at a great price I would recommend this one. Be sure to clean the filter system every 6 months.replacement filter probably once a year.

This review is from: 4 Gallon Countertop Water Filter - Save $$$ - Transform Tap Water to Pure Healthy Mineral Drinking Water
I bought the 4-gallon model. I live in an area where the tap water is OK, but sometimes has a funny taste. Tired of paying through the nose for bottled water delivery and not wanting to have to haul bottles of water home from the store, we decided to give this a try. It does a great job of filtering the water. It takes awhile to filter because it has to trickle s-l-o-w-l-y into the bottom tank through the stone filter and the 5-stage filter. That being said, it's worth the wait for great tasting water. The reason I didn't give this unit 5 stars is that when my unit arrived, the top tank had a crack that went from top to bottom. It's made of cheap plastic and I don't see this lasting more than 6-12 months. They could have used a better grade of plastic and charged a bit more, instead of going cheap on this important detail. Better yet, a glass tank would ensure that it would be dishwasher safe and could not harbor bacteria. The top tank seems to be made from a different type of plastic than the bottom tank, which feels heavier and denser. Yes...they will replace the cracked tank, but if the warranty is only good for 30 days, I can see having to purchase a new one every few months.
