ZeroWater 52-Cup Ready-Read 5-Stage Water Filter Pitcher...

Most Helpful Review

"I've been there, you've been there. Sink filters, under sink filters, endless pitchers. Brita, Pur, various generics. All make the water somewhat better, but do not make the water "good". ZeroWater does just that -- it makes the water "good"For ten years I've purchased ZeroWater products and I cannot accept anything else. It's one of those products -- once you start using it you realize how less than stellar everything else you've used before was in comparison. ZeroWater takes bad water and makes it taste better than bottledI live in an area with awful water and this house has awful old pipes. The tap water here tastes very similar to how a toilet tank smells - somewhat musty, somewhat off. It reads in the high 200s on the included meter. ZeroWater takes that down to 0 and removes the awful taste completely. If you put this in a bottle and told me it came from an industrial purifier I'd believe youEvery friend I've introduced to ZeroWater has been shocked by the difference coming from other brands. In my opinion Brita and Pur still leave lingering traces of nastiness even though they filter the harmful stuff out. You can make water safe without it tasting good -- ZeroWater makes it safe and good unlike other brandsThis large dispenser with two filters works wonders in solving how quickly my family goes through water -- not only does it filter faster than regular single filter dispensers, it manages to hold over three gallons. I can pour a gallon at a time up top and will have plenty of water without needing to sit and refill it constantly. It takes care of my only complaint -- the other previous ZeroWater products needed babysitting somewhat to fill to a usable level. If you have room, this is the one you wantI was concerned about filter lifespan and needing two filters until I realized each filter is effectively doing half as much work. I will gladly pay for a two pack of filters since this purifies so much faster than the others in this rangeHaving the pull lever instead of a button on the dispenser nozzle is very much appreciated as well. I had a smaller version that only had one filter and a push button that required you to stand there and hold it. This is so much easier for people who may have difficulties like arthritis or other issues. Pull the lever down, it fills. Push the lever back up, it stops. It's as easy as flipping a light switchI find myself drinking more water now that I have this dual filter tank. I keep a gallon pitcher on standby and can quickly fill this to capacity -- I really cannot give this dispenser enough praise. They really listened to their audience and fixed any complaints I would have had with previous models being slow or annoying to use due to needing to hold a buttonI'll borrow a quote from the old Packard car company, "Ask the man who owns one". I own one -- this is the one you want. Once you get used to the convenience there is no going back"
