Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These filters only last about a week, week and a half! If you are lucky you can get two weeks out of them. You will be constantly spending money and reordering these, repeatedly throwing out giant plastic filters as well as the packaging they come in multiple times a month if you purchase the Zero Water Dispenser System. I have to admit that during the first week to week and a half that you have installed them, they will be great! They will work fine and the water will taste great and you will get a 000 reading on your meter. Then, seemingly overnight, your water will taste awful (worse than from the tap, as if there is mildew or something off) and when you measure it with the meter you will get a very high reading. What's upsetting is that the company is aware of this but you won't find out until after you purchase and use it. When I replaced the first filter, I saw that the packaging addressed the issue. I didn't see it on the filter that came with the dispenser unit. It said that if you are replacing your filters often then there is an issue with your water and to call a number to ask about a discounted filters "program". A friend who bought the same unit and filters as I did, based on my premature and naive recommendation, called the company and was told that, yes, the filters wear our very quickly for people who live in areas with certain water conditions. They didn't offer help past that. Great. My friend has already set up a delivery water service and I will be doing the same. It is much cheaper per month than replacing these filters and will save on wasted materials in the long run. I recommend NOT purchasing these and looking into other options. We are in a rental home and cannot install a permanent filtration system but there are home water delivery options!
