Amazon.com Product Description

With the ZeroWater Pitcher you can get cleaner, fresher water without tapping into your plumbing line, using bulky water coolers, and wasting your money on expensive bottled water. Thanks to an innovative five-stage filtration process, the ZeroWater Pitcher offers more complete water filtration than ordinary carbon filters. And for convenience, this pitcher neatly stores right in your refrigerator door.



This innovative, pitcher improves the taste and healthfulness of your tap water.


A five-stage filtration process works to thoroughly remove dissolved solids from water.


The included TDS meter ensures that you're getting the best-tasting water possible.

More Effective, Affordable, and Than Other Filters
Even if you live in a municipality that cleans or treats water, water can pick up chemicals on its way from the treatment plant to your faucet, giving your tap water a metallic or chlorinated taste. Water that's purified with a ZeroWater Pitcher, however, tastes the way water should: crisp, clean, and fresh.

Tested and certified by the Water Quality Association and NSF International for removal of several minerals, ZeroWater is the only filtration system that fits the FDA definition of purified bottled water. And at a fraction of the cost of ordinary carbon filters.

The ZeroWater pitcher not only improves the taste of your tap water, it also helps to improve the environment. When you use the ZeroWater Pitcher, you'll reduce your use of plastic water bottles that clog up landfills and harm ecosystems. You'll also contribute to water conservation, because unlike reverse-osmosis systems, ZeroWater is gravity operated and doesn't waste electricity or water.

Five-Stage Filtration System for Water That Scores a Perfect "000"
At the heart of every drop of water that's purified by a ZeroWater Pitcher is an independent, laboratory-calibrated water tester called a TDS meter. TDS stands for "Total Dissolved Solids" and represents the amount of dissolved substances that can negatively affect the way water tastes.

Unlike conventional gravity-fed or carbon water filters that remove only certain substances from your water, ZeroWater's patented Ion Exchange System with Five-Stage Technology provides the only filtered water to measure an absolute "000" on the TDS scale, which means that 100% of dissolved solids have been completely removed.

To help put this in perspective, meter readings for tap water average between 075 and 300. Conventionally filtered water measures between 030 and 500, and bottled water measures between 000 and 350. Unlike the alternatives, with ZeroWater you can be sure you'll get 100% great-tasting water.

Battery-Powered Meter Makes it Easy to Test Your Water
The beauty of the ZeroWater Pitcher is that you don't have to accept purity claims at face value. Test your water yourself with the included meter and watch as the zeros come together to ensure that you're getting the best-tasting water possible.Powered by two easy-to-replace 1.5-volt button cell batteries (included), this meter also lets you know the status of your filter. For instance, if your meter reads "006," it's time to replace the filter.

Sleek, Contemporary Design for Ease of Use
This single-chamber pitcher features a sleek, patent-pending design that allows for easy storage in your refrigerator door. For added convenience, a handy dispenser at the bottom of the pitcher's handle allows you to access water without removing the pitcher from the fridge.

What's in the Box
Pitcher, one filter, and one TDS meter.


Use the TDS meter to determine how many gallons of ZeroWater--water that measures an absolute "000" on the TDS scale--you will get per filter. View larger.

Product Description

Enjoy pure-tasting water with the latest filter pitcher technology in just minutes. ZeroWater's 8-cup Pitcher features a one-handle pull and pour spout to fill any bottle or cup easily. The underneath water filter assembly ensures water passes through the filter and not around the filter. Space-saving design ensures easy fit in any refrigerator. The ZeroWater filtration system combines FIVE sophisticated technologies that work together to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your tap water, delivering you great tasting water. This 8-cup pitcher comes with one Ion Exchange filter, a laboratory-grade water testing meter and a guarantee to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your tap water. ZeroWater’s primary layer of filtration, activated carbon and oxidation reduction alloy, removes the chlorine taste you are accustom to with tap water. The Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into your water from piping such as Aluminum, Lead, Zinc, Nitrate and more. Another three stages are included to ensure your water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a “000ppm” reading on your laboratory-grade Total Dissolved Solids meter included.

It's Excellent! May 4, 2010
Size Name:8-Cup
This is an excellent product that does EXACTLY what it says it will do. However, just because it does remove so many contaminants doesn't necessarily mean your water's going to taste awesome. There are other factors that go into the taste of water. For instance, I find that Poland Springs water registers about 20-25 on the meter and personally it tastes better to me than my local tap water once it's been run through this filter and registers 0.

With that said, my tap water definitely tastes much better than it does at its natural reading of about 250! It really is hard to drink when it's unfiltered, but when it's filtered it's a pleasure to drink. Not perfect according to my personal taste, but definitely perfectly drinkable.

I wanted to address a few points others have made:

1. The time it takes to filter - yes, it does take awhile to filter. To fill the bottle, you have to fill the top part TWICE and let it filter through. I timed it tonight and it takes about 10-12 minutes to filter one round. So to fill the bottle would take between 20-25 minutes total. Well, once you know this - you can usually plan around it. I fill the top once and usually just let it sit while go off and do other things. I try to remember to come back anytime after about 15 minutes and fill it again.

Also, keep in mind that the reason it does take so long is because it's doing such a thorough job of filtering your water! If it didn't take as long it wouldn't be getting your water so clean.

2. One reviewer complained that after about 4 weeks his water began to taste fishy. He also said he didn't want to change the filter when the TDS meter read 6. He said he was willing to let it go to 150. But the ZeroWater documentation that comes with the filter specifically states that if you don't change it at just about 6, that the water will begin to taste funny. I called them and asked why and they told me that because at 6 - the filter is so full of contaminants that it just starts making newly filtered water taste funny. Because at that point the water is not only going through the filter, but it's also going through all the contaminants in the filter!

Makes sense. So all the reports you've read about water tasting funny - are true. But that's what happens when you use the filter too long. I too thought I wouldn't mind the TDS (total dissolved solids) level going higher than 6. Because my favorite water - Poland Springs was around 25. So I thought I could go to 25. But sure enough the water started tasting ever so slightly funny at 6. I actually let it go to 9 but by that time it really didn't taste good so I changed the filter. It didn't taste fishy as some have reported, but it definitely tasted a little funky. The company says that what happens after a TDS level of 6 is reached will vary from water system to water system. For me it might taste funky - while for someone else it might taste fishy. It all depends on what's in your water system to start with - and the combination of contaminants that are trapped in the filter.

The good news was that by that point I had already used the filter for about 5 weeks! So that came in at about 60% of what I would have paid for bottled water! So it did save a little money! But the best part is - no more carrying heavy cartons of water around! And no more having a thousand little bottles to throw out each week!

By the way when you read some of the reviews that state the filter didn't last very long - that doesn't really tell you anything unless you know several factors. One, you'd have to know how many people were drinking from it and how much they used. Two, you'd have to know what the TDS level of the water they're filtering is. If they tell you the filter only lasted 2 weeks and it's feeding four people and their TDS level is 400, then they're actually getting really good mileage out of it!

So for your info, my review covers the use of just one person who consumes 1 full Zerowater container a day. And the TDS level of the water I'm filtering is about 250. So if you know the TDS of your water, and how much you would consume, you can compare. If yours is 125 - then you could expect to get twice as much use out of each filter.

3. Size of the container and filtering time. The container holds about half a gallon of water. For one person this should be enough for the whole day. For two people or more it seems it would start to be a bit of a hassle keeping it filled. But for one person it's fine.

One reviewer complained that the size of the filter itself was too big and displaces too much water in the container - causing it not to hold as much water as it could. Well, all that is true. However, what he didn't figure is that the filter has to be large in order to get the TDS level to 0! The little Brita & Pur filters are much smaller, but they do basically nothing! They filter out maybe 25% of the contaminants. This filters out ALL of the dissolved solids. And it's just the physics of filtering. The larger the filter, the more contaminants it will filter out. People have been really unrealistic and un-knowledgeable in a lot of these reviews.

Due to the physics of filtering, the filter has to be large and therefore the time it takes the water to run through it will be long. And that explains the complaints of some that it's slow to filter. It's slow because it's doing such a thorough job.

As to the complaints that the container should hold more water... I agree. It would be nice if it was larger and held more water. And it probably could be a little bit larger. But at its current size I've already seen a few complaints that it's too big for some refrigerators! If it was any larger it really would be too big. People would start to complain that it takes up all the space in their refrigerators!

Due to the necessary size of the filter, there is a rather large water displacement in the storage container that causes it to hold less water than it otherwise would.

I get around this problem by pouring all the water into an insulated stainless steel pitcher that I got from Starbucks a few years ago. This works great because the pitcher holds the exact same amount the Zerowater container holds. And the pitcher keeps the water cold all day. So while I'm pouring water out of the pitcher into a glass all day, the new fresh container of Zerowater is cooling down in the refrigerator. By the time I'm ready for another pitcher, the Zerowater is nice and cold and ready to go. I fill up the pitcher, and then I fill up the Zerowater container. Works out pretty well.

Most of us have had water filtration systems; either the under sink, mounts to faucet, or most commmonly, the filter-in-pitcher system. I saw this on a late night infomercial and was hooked. I will keep this review short and sweet:

Pluses: Nice attractive color, Spigot and valve ON the pitcher so no need to remove the pitcher from the fridge everytime you want some water, Zero-water meter is included (and can be stored IN the pitcher)

Minuses: Capacity could be greater. Filter is so massive that you go through the filtered water QUICKLY, especially if you have a larger family;
AND...the #1 drawback: This pitcher filters VERY SLOWLY. I am used to other Brita-type units and this is the slowest I've ever seen. Often when the pitcher is over half-full, and I fill the top reservoir, it doesn't drain completely after 3-4 HOURS. I have to keep a 1/2 gallon bottle in the refrigerator filled with cold filtered water since this filters so slowly.

So, great concept, water is fantastic, but pitcher filters way too slowly if you have a family larger than 2-3.

Good enough? September 4, 2009
Size Name:8-Cup|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read the reviews here before buying and they're pretty accurate...both the good and not so good. ON THE PLUS SIDE, the Zero does a great job purifying. And it comes with a digital water tester, which has been very helpful. I used the tester to compare the Zero water with my unfiltered tap water, with my old Brita and with a friend's Pur. The Zero won hands down. Capacity hasn't been a problem for our small family though, for four or more, it might not do as well. The Zero also has a small tap with a push button to let you pour the already-filtered water while waiting for the rest to come through. The feature is a nice idea.

ON THE DOWN SIDE, Zero is taller than standard pitchers - 11" high instead of 10" like my old Brita. The extra inch means I can't put it on the top shelf of my fridge. It's worth measuring first. The filter price is also steeper than Brita or Pur but it works better too, so it's a tradeoff that makes sense. The push-button tap on my first Zero broke after about 50 uses and once it broke, water just leaked out. I had to replace the whole pitcher and no longer use that feature. But the thing that has most disappointed is that the filters don't always let all of the water through. I've found this problem in about 1 out of every 3 filters. Even when I fill it up and leave it over nite, some of the water remains in the top compartment in the morning, despite having lots of room left in the pitcher. It's happened with new filters from several different lots, so I can't blame it on anything obvious. It's why I lowered my rating from 4-stars to 3. I'll raise it back up if the consistency improves.

I hope the Zero Water folks take some of the Amazon reviewers' good suggestions into account for their next model. This one shows good potential but needs to get the bugs out before it gets my full recommendation.
