ZeroWater 10 Cup Pitcher review

The ZeroWater 10 Cup Pitcher earns its place by doing something most pitchers do not: ZeroWater says its 5-stage filter removes 99.6% of total dissolved solids, the metals, minerals and salts that give hard water its taste. The filter is IAPMO certified to reduce PFOA/PFOS, lead, chromium and mercury, which covers forever chemicals that the Brita Elite and PUR PLUS filters do not claim. At $37.99 on ZeroWater's US store it was the cheapest major-brand pitcher here when checked, and the product page includes a zip code lookup for local TDS readings. The weak point is filter life. ZeroWater's page does not publish a gallon rating, and filters run out faster in water with high dissolved solids, so the yearly cost depends heavily on where you live. Some people also prefer to keep the calcium and magnesium that this filter strips out. We compared documented features and published prices.
