 NOT GOOD for filtering tap water that's 515ppm! September 1, 2010
We just bought this system today at the Depot of Home on clearance for twenty seven dollars!! We got the filtration system AND the glass crock for twenty seven!! I read a few reviews while at the store and decided to take the plunge. The system does seem a bit cheap and wobbly but it took our horrible Mesa, AZ water from 515ppm to 001ppm the first time through! I don't expect the filters to last long but I bought this as a temporary solution until I buy an under-the-sink filtration system so I'm not too worried about future costs.
Bottom line: from 515ppm to 001ppm the first time through.
***UPDATE*** 09/09/2010 I'm throwing this in the dumpster today. I figured the filters wouldn't last long with our horrible Mesa, AZ water but only 10 days? If your water isn't bad to begin with, this product is probably a good fit. However, if your water is horrible, find something else. I'd venture to say stick with buying water from the R.O. Store. That's what we're gonna do.
 Ignore the haters, just get it, you will love it! August 31, 2010
Ignore the haters, just get it, you will love it!
Tap water TDS reads 283.
After zerowater, 000.
Love this water! Now my water has a little sweetness to it, no, it's not sugar. Taste great.
Best water filter August 19, 2010
The best water money can buy .Delicious water from it better than bottled water .The filters are reasonable and seem to last forever I have been using forever a month have yet to have the quality nor the levels on the meter have not moved overall a fantastic product higly reccomend
We Love Our ZeroWater August 17, 2010
We purchased our ZeroWater along with a generic water cooler to save on the amount of plastic bottles we accumulated buying bottled water. ZeroWater tastes much better than bottled water and it's easy to fill. Our water tested high for impurities, but even after 2-months we haven't had to change the filters. We are saving about $28.00 per month and it's already paid for itself. This is a great product!
 Installed 7/28/10, and updates July 30, 2010

I wanted to add my opinion on Zero Water filtration system. I bought this system at Target for [...] + tax. Before I installed it, I read up on it, and I'm aware of possible high filter costs, but whenever I get billed [...] for every 5 gallon bottle of water from Sparkllets, I feel like I get ripped off.
Before I installed the Zero water system, water from Sparkellet read at 10-11, which is far better than Fullerton City water, which read at over 350!. I installed the system on 7/28/10, and the installation was fairly easy, washing the whole system was not very difficult either. I just tested the water, and the meter does read 0, and the water tastes great!
I did over fill the reservoir this morning, and my wife was unhappy because of the mess, but it was because I put too much water in there. I thought the water I put in was enough to top off the reservoir, but it's better to leave some room so you don't make a mess like I did.
We go though about 10 gallons of drinking water in 2 weeks, so I'm hoping the filters will last me at least 2 months. If it does, the filter system would pay for itself. And hopefully, if the filters can last 2-3 months in the future, I would be saving money on water and won't worry about breaking my back replacing the 5 gallon bottles.
I'll keep you all informed if anything happens with the system.
Update: 8/11/10
It's been 2 weeks, and the meter still reads 0. No smell. No more spills. We're going through about 1-2 gallons a day, with 4 adults and 2 kids. We make at least 10 cups of coffee/day, use the water to cook and drink. So according to my calculation, we've at least gone through 15-20 gallons of water in 2 weeks. That's a saving of [...] so far compared to sparklletts. =)
Update: 8/15/10
Alas! The Fish smell has struck! Yesterday, I check the water level, and all of a sudden it read 66. I thought that's strange. It shot up from 0 to 66 within a couple of days. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. So I decided to clean out the system. While I was cleaning, I noticed that the smell came from the filter and the container. I used the disinfectant wipe from costco to wipe the inside of the container and the outside of the filters. I pour water on the filters, and it struck me. One of the filters was letting the water out faster than the other one. Sure enough, the fish smelling water came from the filter that lets the water out quicker. I tested the water from both filters and the slow letting filter read 3, but the water from the fast letting filter read 165. It was obvious to me that due to the irregular rate of filtration, one of the filter became more dirty than the other one. This gotta be the reason why the filter didn't last as long as I expected.
I'm going to contact Zero water tomorrow and see if they say anything about this issue. I ordered another set of filters through Amazon, but for mean while, I closed off one of the filter holes so that only one filter is doing all the work.
I'm going to have to down grade this water system to 3 stars. :(
Update: 8/19/10
New filters have arrived, so I replace the old ones. The fish smell is so bad, it seems to eminate from everything that came in contact with the water. I left the filters in my garage, and even the whole garage is filled with the smell. I thought about recycling the filters and receive $5 credit, but if it'll cost me $10 to send them, I would be losing even more money, while Zero Water co. just needs to replace the stuff inside.
I haven't contacted the customer service, since I can't imagine they would do anything for me. I should try anyways.
