Gotham Gadgets: ZeroWater® Empowers the Public to Abandon the Bottle for Tap New Home Technology Beats FDA Standards for Purified Bottled Water

We have tested many kinds of water filtration systems here at Whom You Know: it is so important to have clean water of course!  Why are we telling you about one more?  What makes this one different?  Peachy Deegan loves her TDS Meter.


What is that?  It is the new innovation by Zero Water.  In our quest for perfection in all disciplines, Whom You Know introduces this lovely device to you!  We want your water to be 100% pure, with no solids.  The revolutionary ion exchange filter by Zero Technologies, LLC is the only gravity fed filtration system that meets the FDA standard for purified bottled water*. For the first time ever, by filtering tap water through the ZeroWater® system, users can confidently replace bottled water with water that meets a higher standard than any other gravity fed water they are currently drinking. This new technology far surpasses current gravity feed technology of the leaders in this market, removing virtually all measureable TDS in drinking water. 



The pristine taste of ZeroWater® is the result of a patented, 5-stage ion-exchange filtration system made up of an array of five technologies that reduce dissolved solids to a guaranteed level of ZERO parts per million (ppm). In a market where most filtration products rely almost completely on carbon alone, ZeroWater® expands water treatment possibilities by adding materials that are recognized by the EPA to treat substances in water that carbon can’t handle.  It’s this combination of materials that makes ZeroWater® so effective. 


The company is so confident in its guarantee that the filtered water will measure ZERO that it provides an independently manufactured total dissolved solids (TDS) meter so people can test water for themselves. 


When using the TDS meter, users should first test the level of dissolved solids in their tap water. The TDS reading of tap water across the country can range from 25 to 700 ppm or more. Some bottled water can have a ppm over 300. After filtering the water through the ZeroWater® system, the TDS reading is taken again and will measure 000!  By testing and tasting various water alternatives, people are empowered to experience the ZeroWater® difference. Water in its natural state, will always read 000 – for example, rain water collected towards the end of a storm, after the water has cleansed the atmosphere, will read very low TDS, if not 000. The same result will occur if you were able to test fresh fallen snow or snow at the top of a mountain cap. 


The TDS meter also offers users peace of mind that the ZeroWater® filter cartridges are working properly. When the tester reaches “006” it is time to change the filter. The life of a ZeroWater® filter is based on the amount of dissolved solids in local water and the amount of water consumed in a given time frame.  


To date, ZeroWater® filters have been certified by independent laboratories (including NSF International and the Water Quality Association) for the reduction of lead, chlorine taste and odor, mercury, hydrogen sulfide, chromium, aluminum, zinc and iron.   


The ZeroWater® filtration system is available in the convenient ZeroWater® Pitcher which has a ½ gallon capacity, requires one ZeroWater® filter and features an easy-fit lid with a pour spout for customer convenience, along with an exclusive in-fridge push-button dispenser. It comes with a 90-day parts warranty from the date of purchase.  


The ZeroWater® Pitcher has a suggested retail price of $35.00, and we recommend it. We also love the cute little dispenser button on the bottom of the handle that you can push to just fill your glass!  Replacement filters are available in packs of two, four and eight at a suggested price of $29.99, $55.99 and $99.99, respectively. A filter replacement program is available for consumer convenience.  Additionally, the pitcher is sold with a filter and a complimentary TDS tester, a $30 value, if sold separately.
