Your review was odd. Modern castle was sent off to an independent lab and the results were very clear that the zero performed pretty average in Heavy metal, chemical removal among others.
Great Point! Btw turn to JESUS. He is the best filter and Greatest Physician! I'm not sure we should trust anything or anyone now a days! Oh yeah almost forgot no shits! Not Vax nor Flu or Anything. Pray to heal from God. ( Steps off soap box ) In truth and love.
I've been using Zero Water Pitcher for about 5 years. My neighbors were using other systems. After explaining to them why and letting them taste the water, they have all converted. I take my pitcher with me when I'm traveling.
I like the spigot on the Zero water pitcher. Because if all the water hasn’t finished filtering through the filter you can still get some water out through the spigot.
I just bought the water drop a few weeks ago. The ingenious fill lid, speed, and pitcher is a huge plus. But our tap water now taste great. If u have heavy metals etc. in your tap water then u may need a heavy duty water filter.
Would have been good if you independently checked the fluoride... There's conflicting test results for the ZeroWater... some like Modern Castle show 100% reduction fo Fluoride, and Freshnss channel showed 0% fluoride reduction for the Zerowater filter. Others show 41%... and an anti-fluoride website also showed 100% fluoride reduction.
The problem with my Zero Water was that the filter went bad in like 2 weeks and tasted terrible, I can't be paying so much for filters every week or two when it was supposed to last a month or more.
@@cfvgd I let tap water go through my fridge filter first then zero filter, it only lasted me 10 days. And my fridge filter is not a cheap bad one, it is waterdrop brand.
Great job! You have my greetings from Greece ! I bought a Zero Water Pitcher since last week. I tested the tap water & I discovered that it had 193 TDS.. After the filtration by my Zero Water Pitcher,the TDS were disappeared..The filtrated water had ZERO TDS.. Zero Water Pitcher is doing exactly what is promising...I'm very satisfied by this product..
So I got the ZeroWater filter/jug mid January this year and my initial TDS was 118 and it brought it to zero. However!.. the filter has only lasted 6 maybe 7 weeks. Definitely under 2 months😑.. so I’m looking into a new system cuz it just doesn’t seem efficient or costly for me. Looking into Water drop dispenser and came upon this video. I’m by Detroit MI in case anyone around there doesn’t know their TDS.
For those that use zeto water filter. To save on cost of the filters. Use two zero water filters and just use one for drinking the other for filtering. After 4 months just throw away the one use for filtering water. Swap it with the one use for drinking.
What about buying both filtering devices and running all your water through each before using? Also, because I don't trust corporations looking to increase profits, what about testing after indicator says filter is bad possibly showing filter isn't bad at all?
i thought this EXACT SAME THING! i have the water drop but i want to buy the zero to filter out fluoride, also i need to check and see which one filter out arsenic best because in my area the tap water has higher levels of arsenic.
As previously explained, your explanation for the Zero water filters having a fishy smell after only a few uses was not correct in my experience. After only three or four fill ups, the water not only smelled terrible, it tasted sort of metallic and sour. My pitcher was never kept in the sun nor was it kept in warm environment. The really curious thing was the fact that the initial filter lasted months with no foul smell or taste. Zero Water couldn't explain what was causing the problem and they replaced the filters for free a few times but ultimately I gave up because it simply didn't work and was way too expensive to keep using it. I now use a Brita pitcher that uses the filter that filters the water as you pour it as opposed to the normal Brita filter that filters when you add the water. It tastes great and lasts a long time. It also has an indicator to tell when the filter needs to be replaced. I suspect, the flaw in the Zero Water filter is that it somehow chemically reaction with something in my water and there are thousands of other people experiencing the same thing with Zero Water pitchers. Like that original tester mentioned, TDS is not a good measure for the quality of water and many dissolved particles are actually healthy minerals that are desirable for drinking water.
regarding your alkalinity slide. "the recommended range for drinking water is 30-400 ppm". waterdrop is within the range at 140, while zerowater is outside the range at ~10, yet you question the waterdrop? also, are you saying high tds is good or bad? your summary said if you have high tds, to consider the waterdrop even tho it had zero effect on tds, whereas the zerowater removed all of the tds.
Funny, I just watched and caught that mistake, however, the recommended levels mentioned are in ppm, parts pert million, and the test was showing mg/L. These are not the same unit of measurment. ppm is a volume-to-volume or mass-to-mass ratio, mg/l is a mass-to-volume relationship. So, who knows what this test actually shows.
Caught that immediately too. Also, he never states his experimental testing method, so we have no idea what variables remained constant, etc. Modern Castle tested 10 DIFFERENT (no focus on zero water) filters, stated their testing method, and provided the raw lab data in an Excel sheet under the video. They even provide links so you can purchase any of the 10 filters in the video. We have no reason to believe they are affiliated with WaterDrop. Unlike in this video, where it is clear this guy has a strong bias toward ZeroWater, which is a bad start to any experiment.

I use an LG Filter from the fridge to pre-filter my tap water, then into a mason jar with a UV-C light to sterilize, then two Water Drop Filters, back and forth until I'm under 100 TDS. I can squeeze more than 4 months from one filter while the other is brand new.

Agreed, i had the same sus vibes from the same spots. Felt like they were trying to tilt zero lower which felt biased. Thanks for vid and confirming it wasn’t just me.
ZeroWater (ZW) wins for use in our Coffee Maker, Teapot and GE Opal Ice Maker. Zero TDS has resulted in Zero mineral deposits in these appliances!

They add fluoride to our water so I went with a zero water filter. I just add a few drops of electrolytes to the filtered water. I am looking at a reverse osmosis system for the whole house.
For someone like me, who's trying to create water suitable for coffee, which means remineralising "pure" water, then the only choice is ZeroWater. Thanks for the info on this.
I bought zerowater before Christmas, the 1st filter lasted for about 5 weeks, 2nd filter lasted 3 weeks and ive just changed to 3rd.not sure if I'll stick with them because it's not cost effective buying filters every 3 weeks, that fish odor is so bad i was dubious to drink it again and i have only ever been able to get a 0.04 reading 😂plus when filter is fresh i think water tastes a bit chalky,its only just before it runs out water tastes ok. Not sure what to do now, my area is hard so i need do more research
What about running the water through the filter twice? You have both filters, maybe filter first through Water Drop then pour that filtered water through the ZeroWater.
On the video you've mentioned they were not talking about fluoride but for chloroform. On their google sheet they have provided it seems also that the Z.W has eliminated all the chlorine but not the byproduct "chloroform" which is dangerous, hense they have put the Z.W that low. Am I wrong?
Does zero filter rid well.water of bacteria and excess heavy metals? Parasites etc? Also why are you the only one reviewing these? Just wondering if it's your product
I'm reviewing two different filters in this video? I believe that reverse osmosis is the only way to remove bacteria & parasites. However, you can boil the water, let it cool and then filter it.
I have seen about 5 very filtertests/comparisons here on YT, and the most convincing for me is the ZeroWater. Interestingly the both cheapest filters are in the Top 5. Aqua Crest and Epic Water are too expensive for me. The most important tests are the Fluoride and Chlorene Test, specially for US americans. In some regions they have even toxic water because of the fracking. I for my part prefer the ZeroWater pitcher, because it wins in more points than the Waterdrop and has TDS on incredible 0%, so very trustworthy. I don't wanna have any particles in my water! ;P But both are very good and much better then many others. One other point is, that we use in germany and austria also very much other principles of water cleaning and energizing, for example with carbonite, colloidal silver, semiprecious stones, magnets, swirling it, storing it in amphores of clay, or making water-information procedures in the Masaru Emoto style on glass pitchers... How it's said, many ways lead to Rome. ;) I will try experimental series with different combinations of all methods here mentioned, to find out which is the most convincing, effective and practicable solution.
I went to cosmetology school and we learned a lot about ph balance. More science involved in cosmetology than people realize. So for your skin and hair, you need acidic water. Our skin and hair is naturally acidic. As far as internally, we are supposed to be more alkaline. So for ingestion, alkaline is best, neutral ph is just fine though. Now regarding skin and hair, you don’t want to shower with a filter that makes the water alkaline. Skin is our largest organ and it’s important we are mindful of what we put on our skin which is thus absorbed systemically
For ingestion alkaline is best… not sure if that’s necessarily true. Our stomach is extremely acidic, and our blood is kept at a tight range 7.35-7.45. pH is necessarily a concern, especially for water.
I've just bought the Waterdrop filter after years of using an old Brita with classic filters. The Brita classic filters need to be submerged in water at all times but I've not seen any mention of whether this is necessary with the Waterdrop and, just like in your video, I keep seeing the water level below the filter. Is there some clever shenanigans going on that is stopping the Waterdrop filter from drying out?
Got a reply from Waterdrop and they said "if you don't leave the filter unused for a very long time, you don't need to worry about that the filter will be dry. Only if you pour some water into the pitcher, the filter will keep wet. You don't need to keep the filters always wet." So there you go.
The exact video I was looking for thanks for that. I have the zero water filter but the filter needs to be changed every so often, so I saw videos about waterdrop filter and was wondering if it was good enough. I want to thank you for your in depth review of them both.
@@tashalee4294 I agree, because I think one review showed that it doesn't filter that much chlorine. That's why I'm here today about to order the ZeroWater.
I have to change my ZeroWater filter a lot less frequently than any I've owned, including Brita and Pur. I like the included TDS tester and I can still get 0.00 TDS after 3 months of use of my ZeroWater filter. I'll test it in tap water to make sure the gauge is reading/working, and it is.
I have Zero Water filter and I found it very difficult to use. (1) I could not tighten the filter no matter how hard I tried, so the water still leak through the side. (2) The flow rate is very slow especially when you can only fill it a small amount at a time, therefore it’s very time consuming. (3) Mold can grow on the filter in less than a month time even the TDS meter still said zero. So all together, I am very disappointed with Zero Water
I have had the water drop for 3 months and love it. Just got 6 filters for it and plan to order another water drop. I read reviews about the zero water and I decided on water drop based on reviews and my own choice. Great tasting water all the time.
Well I've had it for 6 months and I only use it for my Keurig........otherwise I drink bottled water.... if I drink the water from the water drop pitcher I can taste that tap water taste .......maybe not as bad as drinking straight from the tap... but it's still there.........whereas bottled water tastes so much cleaner... and the city I live in doesn't have horrible water... so it's not like I'm asking water drop to reach for the stars.
@One-Day-After-Another that's just how carbon filters taste, bottled water usually uses RO which has a "cleaner" taste, I usually drink RO but I'm going to just use carbon filters from now on since my local water source had pretty great quality water straight from the tap
@@One-Day-After-Another if it has a taste it could be bacteria growing in the water, like a moss type smell or taste, because this filter does not filter down to zero particles as this guy claims,. it's not posible and a complete flawed claim, only a water distiller can make water pure,
@@lukasHenchman I ended up getting a reverse osmosis filter system... It takes my tap water to 2ppm. I also have a water distiller... get this, after distilling tap water, it brought it down to 15 ppm... worse than the RO... which really surprised me... So then I distilled RO water and got it to 0...but I couldn't believe the RO got less ppm than distilled
@@One-Day-After-Another interesting, what about all the negative feedback about this zero filter, the filters going bad after 1 or 2 weeks, how common you think that is
Zerowater is the only filter I've used (besides reverse osmosis) that actually made the water taste like bottled water. Brita, Pur, and Watrdrop didn't give as good results. The only sad thing is, if you live in a high tds area the Zerowater filters don't last very long (as you said). My solution was to buy a countertop Reverse Osmosis and then put that water into a Zerowater pitcher.
@@mikem4904Sounds like a waste of time and money. At that point, you'd probably be better off getting a reverse osmosis system like bluevua or aquatru.
It’s alright, I don’t think it tastes nearly as good as spring water nor is it as hydrating, maybe the purified water. Need to add minerals, drinking it plain or using it to make coffee leaves my mouth dry and I’m thirstier.
I guess thier argument around alkalinity may be they if you mix the water with something, for example coffee low alkalinity could be an issue as pH will drift more than if it was higher affecting taste. Certainly health wise it would make no difference good or negative.
I bought a zerowater; it doesn't taste as good as the brita I was using. I might switch to waterdrop. Cheaper overall, and people compare it to the taste of spring water.
They also mentioned chloroform is that the same as chlorine. Supposedly on their test, zero water score 41% on filtering chloroform, which seems very sketchy
Bonjour, J'ai fait l'achat d'une carafe ZeroWater de 7l,5, mais on n'a toujours ce mauvais goût su robinet Autre question : Est-ce que ça peut faire venir des bactéries si on garde l'eau filtrée dans la carafe et en bouteille Merci d'avance pour la réponse.
Idk I've seen several videos where the waterdrop is better than many including the zero. This is the 1st time zero is a winner. Either way it's all better than what my poor body has been dealing with so.....
I bought the Zero Water recently. My original tap water was a not too bad 280 PPM. The Zero Water brought it down to 008. My biggest complain about my tap water was the taste. Not good. Zero Water did the job there. My biggest complaint about Zero Water is the pitcher they give allegedly for placing the filtered water in the fridge for future use. The pitcher, especially the cap assembly, is crap. I am using a different pitcher for that purpose, pouring the filter water into it. My other complaint is that I have not been able to completely seal the screw-on filter to the small tub. It drips a bit of the tap water into the filtered water. That's probably why the reading was 008 instead of 003.
Be careful. Just because your water company does not add fluoride to your water does not mean that there is no fluoride in your water, quite the opposite is the case in many areas.
YOU ARE SO LUCKY YOU DON’T GET FLUORIDATED WATER! (I’m in America..) How the hell does drinking flouride prevent cavities when we’re supposed to floss & brush with flouride already?? The risks are so much greater than the tiny reward!
Why? Just because it is a toxic substance that requires a Material Data Sheet number for storage doesn't mean it is toxic or dangerous or anything, does it? Lead is fine for paint and gas too - until it's not. Fluoride was added to our water for the aluminum industries sake, not our teeth. There are studies that seem to indicate that it is actually bad for our teeth. Maybe it is and maybe it isn''t, but chlorine is a deadly gas and likely should be filtered out of your water after it kills the living organisms, just like fluoride should be.
I love the Zero water filter. However, I had to change it often. When the filter needed to be changed it seemed like it was ok one day the next it had hundreds of PPM. It was a drastic sudden fail. I still love it though.
I also have been using the Zerowater system for a few years now and I can test when the water changes from 0 to as low as 4 even though they say to change the filter at 6, but if you are seeing your levels go from good to over 50 in one day, I suspect your water is very high in TDS to begin with.
Zero water filter out 23 contaminants and remove the good minerals, giving you a zero total diluted solid measurement (TDS). But it doesn't filter out all the contaminants.
Fr just switched from purr to zero I Pre filter the water using the zero water faucet filter worked great for me got it down from 190 TDS to like 180 using the faucet filter 1st then I use a UV sanitizing light to kill the microbes then i use the pitcher got it down to 001 TDS I have well water so cant expect it to be perfect but literally 001 from 180 after faucet filter ill take! Pre flilter makes it last longer and between uses leave it in the fridge makes it last longer and it wont have a fish smell people talk about
I don't believe that fluoride is added to the water in London so the Water drop may be a good option. As for filter life, I'd imagine the only way to find out is to try it?
@@LivingWellTV I saw a test where it said that the water drop one does not change how hard the water is. However the Zero water one did. I would get both and run the water through both filters. I have been double filtering my water for sometime. I have a fauset mounted pure filter and I run it into a brita pitcher.
@@LivingWellTVsure modern castle could have explained a bit better but doesn’t take away from the fact how bad zero performed with chemical reduction stc
@@LivingWellTV you see…. You should go straight to the point explaining about the filtration system..the rest is not as important…or leave it for the end.. thanks
@Erica Awake yup, I saw so many videos on it. zerowater is one of the only few pitchers that removes fluoride. Only catch is filters will end up costing 2.5x more.
It looks like a lot of people who watched the Modern Castle comparison video missed that the lab results (Objective) were done by one company, but those results were then evaluated by a different company, which ranked the results (Subjective). The problem with that is that you can make any of those filters "The Best" or "The Worst" depending on how you weigh each category; category weight is subjective. The bottom line is there is no perfect solution, no perfect water filter. The general conclusion of this video is excellent: Know your local water and establish your priorities regarding what you Don't want in your water and what you Will Accept in your water. Some people resort to buying the water filters of different companies to achieve the best results for them as different filters have different strengths and weaknesses. • Conclusion: Watching these shootout videos provide very helpful information, but their determination of The Winner is not objective. Considering the various filters different capabilities, local water variabilities, cost and subjective qualities such as "taste," there will never be a "Best" water filter. Set personal goals for what you want filtered out and choose accordingly. You have to determine what is "Best" for yourself.
Refering to the Alkalinity I'm looking at buying Zero water as bottled is just not doing it for me anymore and I want healthier clean water but I have also been looking into Alkaline water something I'd like to try in the future if I was to drink zero water then maybe 1 litre of alkaline per week would this throw off my body's ph balance ?also thanks for the video I saw the video on the water drop and all you videos on ZeroWater
My biggest concern fluoride and chlorine why we put neurotoxins in water. the say its for teeth but it goes right past your teeth and now your body has to deal with worked around fluoride ill pass.
@@petersydow4002 I'm sorry but yeah no that is completely false based of what I watched in the video linked above. Please do not make things up unless you have sources or proof to support your claims. It's so annoying how people parrot something they heard somewhere without being able to prove it... this society is very special.
@@JackRR15 a yeah read a book by Paul Pitchford" healing with whole foods"( no relation to supply chain Whole Foods) the supplement about fluoride,or a brochure from Waterwise.Ther are other sources I may remember tomorrow
Last year, the government announced that it would be adding fluoride to the water supply where it previously did not exist. And you can raise the ph by throwing in trace amount of baking soda

I have seen about 5 very filtertests/comparisons here on YT, and the most convincing for me is the ZeroWater. Interestingly the both cheapest filters are in the Top 5. Aqua Crest and Epic Water are too expensive for me.
The most important tests are the Fluoride and Chlorene Test, specially for US americans. In some regions they have even toxic water because of the fracking.
I for my part prefer the ZeroWater pitcher, because it wins in more points than the Waterdrop and has TDS on incredible 0%, so very trustworthy. I don't wanna have any particles in my water! ;P
But both are very good and much better then many others.
One other point is, that we use in germany and austria also very much other principles of water cleaning and energizing, for example with carbonite, colloidal silver, semiprecious stones, magnets, swirling it, storing it in amphores of clay, or making water-information procedures in the Masaru Emoto style on glass pitchers...
How it's said, many ways lead to Rome. ;)
I will try experimental series with different combinations of all methods here mentioned, to find out which is the most convincing, effective and practicable solution.
I went to cosmetology school and we learned a lot about ph balance. More science involved in cosmetology than people realize.
So for your skin and hair, you need acidic water. Our skin and hair is naturally acidic.
As far as internally, we are supposed to be more alkaline.
So for ingestion, alkaline is best, neutral ph is just fine though.
Now regarding skin and hair, you don’t want to shower with a filter that makes the water alkaline. Skin is our largest organ and it’s important we are mindful of what we put on our skin which is thus absorbed systemically
For ingestion alkaline is best… not sure if that’s necessarily true. Our stomach is extremely acidic, and our blood is kept at a tight range 7.35-7.45. pH is necessarily a concern, especially for water.
Which of the two filters do you recommend?
I've just bought the Waterdrop filter after years of using an old Brita with classic filters. The Brita classic filters need to be submerged in water at all times but I've not seen any mention of whether this is necessary with the Waterdrop and, just like in your video, I keep seeing the water level below the filter. Is there some clever shenanigans going on that is stopping the Waterdrop filter from drying out?
Got a reply from Waterdrop and they said "if you don't leave the filter unused for a very long time, you don't need to worry about that the filter will be dry.
Only if you pour some water into the pitcher, the filter will keep wet. You don't need to keep the filters always wet." So there you go.
The exact video I was looking for thanks for that.
I have the zero water filter but the filter needs to be changed every so often, so I saw videos about waterdrop filter and was wondering if it was good enough. I want to thank you for your in depth review of them both.
I hated the water drop. The water still smelled like chlorine.
@@tashalee4294 I agree, because I think one review showed that it doesn't filter that much chlorine. That's why I'm here today about to order the ZeroWater.
I have to change my ZeroWater filter a lot less frequently than any I've owned, including Brita and Pur. I like the included TDS tester and I can still get 0.00 TDS after 3 months of use of my ZeroWater filter. I'll test it in tap water to make sure the gauge is reading/working, and it is.
The weird thing about those system is water is kept in a plastic carafe. It kills the point, no ?
Love the waterdrop really quick to fill up
How long do the filters last?
I have Zero Water filter and I found it very difficult to use. (1) I could not tighten the filter no matter how hard I tried, so the water still leak through the side. (2) The flow rate is very slow especially when you can only fill it a small amount at a time, therefore it’s very time consuming. (3) Mold can grow on the filter in less than a month time even the TDS meter still said zero. So all together, I am very disappointed with Zero Water
I have had the water drop for 3 months and love it. Just got 6 filters for it and plan to order another water drop. I read reviews about the zero water and I decided on water drop based on reviews and my own choice. Great tasting water all the time.
Well I've had it for 6 months and I only use it for my Keurig........otherwise I drink bottled water.... if I drink the water from the water drop pitcher I can taste that tap water taste .......maybe not as bad as drinking straight from the tap... but it's still there.........whereas bottled water tastes so much cleaner... and the city I live in doesn't have horrible water... so it's not like I'm asking water drop to reach for the stars.
@One-Day-After-Another that's just how carbon filters taste, bottled water usually uses RO which has a "cleaner" taste, I usually drink RO but I'm going to just use carbon filters from now on since my local water source had pretty great quality water straight from the tap
@@One-Day-After-Another if it has a taste it could be bacteria growing in the water, like a moss type smell or taste, because this filter does not filter down to zero particles as this guy claims,. it's not posible and a complete flawed claim, only a water distiller can make water pure,
@@lukasHenchman I ended up getting a reverse osmosis filter system... It takes my tap water to 2ppm. I also have a water distiller... get this, after distilling tap water, it brought it down to 15 ppm... worse than the RO... which really surprised me... So then I distilled RO water and got it to 0...but I couldn't believe the RO got less ppm than distilled
@@One-Day-After-Another interesting, what about all the negative feedback about this zero filter, the filters going bad after 1 or 2 weeks, how common you think that is
Zerowater is the only filter I've used (besides reverse osmosis) that actually made the water taste like bottled water. Brita, Pur, and Watrdrop didn't give as good results. The only sad thing is, if you live in a high tds area the Zerowater filters don't last very long (as you said). My solution was to buy a countertop Reverse Osmosis and then put that water into a Zerowater pitcher.
i put aquagear filtered water into waterdrop pitcher and then further filter it with zero water a triple filtration process
@@mikem4904Sounds like a waste of time and money. At that point, you'd probably be better off getting a reverse osmosis system like bluevua or aquatru.
It’s alright, I don’t think it tastes nearly as good as spring water nor is it as hydrating, maybe the purified water. Need to add minerals, drinking it plain or using it to make coffee leaves my mouth dry and I’m thirstier.
Zero water is the best but the pitcher was designed to look good not work well
I guess thier argument around alkalinity may be they if you mix the water with something, for example coffee low alkalinity could be an issue as pH will drift more than if it was higher affecting taste. Certainly health wise it would make no difference good or negative.
If you're feeling really crazy do zero water then filter through water drop
I bought a zerowater; it doesn't taste as good as the brita I was using. I might switch to waterdrop. Cheaper overall, and people compare it to the taste of spring water.
I have heard alkalinity is a good thing?
I swear by the zero water. Used daily it lasts us about 4 months before replacement. The water tastes great.
Your reviews is bias from the start. Be more objective next time.
We're you using the nano filter? That one is made for well water vs the pure that is made more for tap water.
Any thoughts on choloform?
They also mentioned chloroform is that the same as chlorine. Supposedly on their test, zero water score 41% on filtering chloroform, which seems very sketchy
Are you suggesting that the lab did something dodgy?
Bonjour,
J'ai fait l'achat d'une carafe ZeroWater de 7l,5, mais on n'a toujours ce mauvais goût su robinet
Autre question : Est-ce que ça peut faire venir des bactéries si on garde l'eau filtrée dans la carafe et en bouteille
Merci d'avance pour la réponse.
Idk I've seen several videos where the waterdrop is better than many including the zero. This is the 1st time zero is a winner. Either way it's all better than what my poor body has been dealing with so.....
Which water filter beside an RO system gets rid of the most PFOS/PFAS?! Check out the film Deep Waters
I bought the Zero Water recently. My original tap water was a not too bad 280 PPM. The Zero Water brought it down to 008. My biggest complain about my tap water was the taste. Not good. Zero Water did the job there. My biggest complaint about Zero Water is the pitcher they give allegedly for placing the filtered water in the fridge for future use. The pitcher, especially the cap assembly, is crap. I am using a different pitcher for that purpose, pouring the filter water into it. My other complaint is that I have not been able to completely seal the screw-on filter to the small tub. It drips a bit of the tap water into the filtered water. That's probably why the reading was 008 instead of 003.
Thanks for the video. Where I live there is no fluoride and water is soft. Would you recommend the waterdrop in my case?
I'd say yes.
Be careful. Just because your water company does not add fluoride to your water does not mean that there is no fluoride in your water, quite the opposite is the case in many areas.
@@edd-6182 many of us have well water with zero chloride
@@carriegarman3334 not in England. Its the fluoride that gets you.
Great stuff 👏 which water filter are you using to date please?
Has anyone tried the more "primitive" way of filtering water through a stack of clay pots?
YOU ARE SO LUCKY YOU DON’T GET FLUORIDATED WATER! (I’m in America..)
How the hell does drinking flouride prevent cavities when we’re supposed to floss & brush with flouride already?? The risks are so much greater than the tiny reward!
Thanks! Yeah it makes no sense. They put it in the water only for the public to remove it with water filters!
Man so what if I fill my water drop then filter in through the water drop 😅 is that gonna work
The Water Filter I Recommend
Mark Hyman, MD
Brita taste so bad .. I got urine infection again and again bcox of this fliter
I want the fluoride out of my water
Why? Just because it is a toxic substance that requires a Material Data Sheet number for storage doesn't mean it is toxic or dangerous or anything, does it? Lead is fine for paint and gas too - until it's not. Fluoride was added to our water for the aluminum industries sake, not our teeth. There are studies that seem to indicate that it is actually bad for our teeth. Maybe it is and maybe it isn''t, but chlorine is a deadly gas and likely should be filtered out of your water after it kills the living organisms, just like fluoride should be.
I love the Zero water filter. However, I had to change it often. When the filter needed to be changed it seemed like it was ok one day the next it had hundreds of PPM. It was a drastic sudden fail. I still love it though.
I also have been using the Zerowater system for a few years now and I can test when the water changes from 0 to as low as 4 even though they say to change the filter at 6, but if you are seeing your levels go from good to over 50 in one day, I suspect your water is very high in TDS to begin with.
That's why I stopped using my zero water pitcher. It was too expensive for unreliable filters
Thank you for thinking this thing through. You raise and address some important points.
I like the way you think. 😜
This is why ZeroWater is STILL number one even after all of these years!
Zero water filter out 23 contaminants and remove the good minerals, giving you a zero total diluted solid measurement (TDS). But it doesn't filter out all the contaminants.
Fr just switched from purr to zero
I Pre filter the water using the zero water faucet filter worked great for me got it down from 190 TDS to like 180 using the faucet filter 1st then I use a UV sanitizing light to kill the microbes then i use the pitcher got it down to 001 TDS I have well water so cant expect it to be perfect but literally 001 from 180 after faucet filter ill take! Pre flilter makes it last longer and between uses leave it in the fridge makes it last longer and it wont have a fish smell people talk about
No its not.
@@7531monkey how do u kno? Cuz pur said they were in commercials?
@@SuperSlimshady1which part of the modercastle test were you confused about?
None of those filters filter fluoride
So whos lying what video lol 😂
What worries me is waterdrop is Chinese
We call it a Jug
Does it reduce fluoride ?
Zerowater does.
not waterdrop at all?@@LivingWellTV
I live near London and our water here is hard would you say to stick with zero water or move to water drop
I don't believe that fluoride is added to the water in London so the Water drop may be a good option. As for filter life, I'd imagine the only way to find out is to try it?
Hmmm🤔. That is a valid point I’d give it a shot see what it’s like. !!! Thanks again and keep up the content!! 🙌
Another youtube episode noted that heat / sunlight killed filters. You may want to keep them in a cool / dark place, like your fridge
@@LivingWellTV I saw a test where it said that the water drop one does not change how hard the water is. However the Zero water one did. I would get both and run the water through both filters. I have been double filtering my water for sometime. I have a fauset mounted pure filter and I run it into a brita pitcher.
To absorb materials ph needs to be right
This guy repeats himself too much. It could have been a much shorter video
I don't know what you mean?
I don't know what you mean?
I don't know what you mean?
@@LivingWellTVsure modern castle could have explained a bit better but doesn’t take away from the fact how bad zero performed with chemical reduction stc
I saw the same video. I must agree with you.
Fluoride?
Cut to the chase… too much blah blah blah at the beginning..
That's not the first time I've been told that.
@@LivingWellTV you see…. You should go straight to the point explaining about the filtration system..the rest is not as important…or leave it for the end.. thanks
@@ericaawake9503 Actually, I've never been told that before, it was tongue in cheek. 😄
@@LivingWellTV there is always the first time …😜
@@LivingWellTV I have a question.. which filter removes fluoride? Is there any filter that does such a thing? Thank you ..
Thank you! I spent so many hours researching on filters that removed fluoride and couldn't make a decision just ordered zerowater. Subscribe!
Does zero water remove fluoride? I am also looking for a filter that removes fluoride.
@Erica Awake yup, I saw so many videos on it. zerowater is one of the only few pitchers that removes fluoride. Only catch is filters will end up costing
2.5x more.
@@jennynoeh9673 thank you… do you know if they have glass pitchers?
@@ericaawake9503 I'm not sure.. maybe check their website?
It looks like a lot of people who watched the Modern Castle comparison video missed that the lab results (Objective) were done by one company, but those results were then evaluated by a different company, which ranked the results (Subjective). The problem with that is that you can make any of those filters "The Best" or "The Worst" depending on how you weigh each category; category weight is subjective. The bottom line is there is no perfect solution, no perfect water filter. The general conclusion of this video is excellent: Know your local water and establish your priorities regarding what you Don't want in your water and what you Will Accept in your water. Some people resort to buying the water filters of different companies to achieve the best results for them as different filters have different strengths and weaknesses. • Conclusion: Watching these shootout videos provide very helpful information, but their determination of The Winner is not objective. Considering the various filters different capabilities, local water variabilities, cost and subjective qualities such as "taste," there will never be a "Best" water filter. Set personal goals for what you want filtered out and choose accordingly. You have to determine what is "Best" for yourself.
Refering to the Alkalinity I'm looking at buying Zero water as bottled is just not doing it for me anymore and I want healthier clean water but I have also been looking into Alkaline water something I'd like to try in the future if I was to drink zero water then maybe 1 litre of alkaline per week would this throw off my body's ph balance ?also thanks for the video I saw the video on the water drop and all you videos on ZeroWater
Your body tightly regulates pH. The water you drink does not change your body's pH.
My biggest concern fluoride and chlorine why we put neurotoxins in water. the say its for teeth but it goes right past your teeth and now your body has to deal with worked around fluoride ill pass.
It's for your body to absorb The level of ph let your body absorb certain things at certain levels and seven and six are good levels to be at
Why is removing the fluoride good though? It's one of the only additives I'd love to keep in my water.
th-cam.com/video/7RHVGIyhmEE/w-d-xo.html
because there is articial fluoride in city waters which is carcinogeuos and poisonous
@@petersydow4002 I'm sorry but yeah no that is completely false based of what I watched in the video linked above. Please do not make things up unless you have sources or proof to support your claims. It's so annoying how people parrot something they heard somewhere without being able to prove it... this society is very special.
@@LivingWellTV Thank you for the video, my conclusion from that is that fluoride is totally fine in the water based on our current used quantities?
@@JackRR15 a yeah read a book by Paul Pitchford" healing with whole foods"( no relation to supply chain Whole Foods) the supplement about fluoride,or a brochure from Waterwise.Ther are other sources I may remember tomorrow
Last year, the government announced that it would be adding fluoride to the water supply where it previously did not exist.
And you can raise the ph by throwing in trace amount of baking soda
Zerowater removed too much for what your body needs and made me feeling sick
