This system is a piece of garbage and will be treated as same.
I've been using a Brita pitcher for years and was happy with it. I decided to try Zero water filter because I bought into the hype about zero dissolved solids. What a mistake. The pitcher does filter the water for zero solids, but only for 5 weeks. Right out of the box I started with the supplied filter it only lasted 5 weeks. They stated to change the filter when it reads 006. After 5 weeks my water smelled and tasted really foul. I checked the water going in and it was 127 coming out it was 345. So not only did the filter stop filtering but also added old contaminants back into the water. I contacted Zero-Water and they were only interested in how many gallons was filter. I don't know but it wasn't many. I only use the filtered water for my coffee maker and a glass a water a day to take my meds. So how much is that? I wanted to be fair and bought a 2 pack from Amazon. I figured let me try these 2 and see. Well, This is a POS. The second filter lasted about 5 weeks when I noticed particle coming out and sitting in the top potion. Water tastes bad and is 45 on the meter. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS. I going back to brita.
