Know before you buy
Most standard pitchers use a simple 2-stage carbon filter. ZeroWater’s 5-stage system includes an ion exchange resin that removes virtually all Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), which is why it comes with a digital meter to prove the water is at 000 TDS.
The meter measures the Total Dissolved Solids in your water. You use it to test your tap water before filtering and then test the filtered water to confirm it has reached zero, letting you know exactly when it is time to replace your filter.
The Ready-Pour technology is designed to be secure, but like any spigot, it requires a firm press to engage and release. It is best to ensure the pitcher is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent any accidental drips.
Filter life depends entirely on the quality of your local tap water. If your tap water has a high TDS count, the filter will reach its capacity faster and need to be changed sooner than it would in an area with lower TDS levels.
Yes, the pitcher is constructed from BPA-free plastic, ensuring that no harmful chemicals leach into your filtered water.
While the 12-cup capacity is generous, the pitcher is relatively wide to accommodate that volume. It is best to measure your refrigerator shelf space before purchasing, as it may fit better on a main shelf than in the door bin.
