Wow, nice to see this has gotten so much positive attention. I was on the marketing team for Fresh Water Systems for a couple of years and I handled all their photography and videography. I shot and edited this video, as well as all the other videos on this channel going back for the past 2 years or so. We had a good time making this, and I miss working with these guys. Thanks for all the kind words, even though I cringe now at some of the terrible lighting and rough transitions. I've come a long way in my editing skills since then.

You definitely win the award for best filtered water pitcher review hands down😊👍 thank you this was an awesome video and no need to look at anymore!!

Thank you for the time & effort in this review. I would go for the Zero Water. I would suggest that a cost breakdown would be nice and also replacement filter costs and frequency.

You should have done a before and after test, that way you show how well the filter works.

I went with Clearly Filtered. Too many reviews about Zero Water's "fishy" smell/taste. Although price and quality are at the top of my list, I can't lie and say taste wouldn't also be a factor when making this decision. Clearly Filtered wins for me :)

I have a zero on the counter water filter dispenser and I love it, the water taste great ❤️

Thank you for being so thorough! Love this.

Good job, folks. Thanks for taking the time to review these. Very helpful. Zerowater for me.

Thanks for the video. We have hard water and I'm looking to replace our current water filter system.

This was an awesome video thank you for making it! I hope that you do more like this.

Thank you sir. God bless you. You’re an angel. I hope people apply this in our daily lives 💖🌸🙏

Very informative, thank you!

thank you lead is my biggest concern living in town...and bacteria when i go camping....right now i use Brita and happy about that..

Great video thank you! Did any of the filters truly reduce the fluoride content? And what is a good water tester kit to get for one's home?

But you should have stated the pH and TDS of your unfiltered water to show the filtration effect of each. I know that the best water for brewing coffee is usually quoted as pH 6 - 8 and TDS 75 - 250, so if you like coffee, best not take out too many minerals.

I appreciate the effort put into this, I just wish there were more hard data to go off of like what was actually filtered out. Vs just using the tds meter that came with one of the pitchers.. not all dissolved solids are bad

Great reviews of water filters.

Great 👍🏻 video thanks

I bought the ZeroWater because it's the only product so confident in its ability it includes a TDS meter and sure enough it takes my tap water from 045 down to 000 just as expected. Just seeing the difference in filter size between the products reviewed shows that you are getting more filter for your money with the ZeroWater. And the results prove it.

A little corny, but great review. I was already leaning towards the Zero Water and this confirmed it for me.

I got the brita 5 cup slim yes it takes the first time some time to filter it I filter then put in fridge then when it is cold I fill up my Tupperware Water Bottle and refill the Brita each time I fill my nice huge water bottle so I never have to wait ;)

i'm digging the spectacles-over-blindfolds- look

I've been looking for a water filter pitcher for months now, this is the best review, with many tests and all of the ones I was torn over you had reviewed. Thank you!

Zero failed ConsumerLab test. Love to see Lifestraw test

Best review on KZfaq! Thank you so much!

The most important feature for me is that it removes every trace of water contaminant. Other features comes by the way.

Have you tested the BWT and Clear2o water pitchers and how do they compare to these? Thank you. Nice review. All of your water experts did a superlative job and deserve a big raise.... and a free trip to Hawaii.

Thanks

Zerowater included that TDS so it got my attention. Great choice! Took my great Ohio water from 307 ppm to zero!

It seems Zero Water did the best job at filtering out contaminants and it is the least expensive one on the market I believe.

WOW, GREAT REVIEW!!! Very thorough and comprehensive!

5 star review thumb's up buddy

Good review! The only thing of importance that you left out is the cost and replacement cost of filters and how long each lasts! This would make the deciding factor for many people.

Graet information

Thanks so much for this video!

Great comparison, best video I found so far!

Very informative about things other reviews do not cover, but costs evaluation is something that would have been nice.

Would have been great If you tested a pitcher from Epic Water too but still great video 🙂

Well done. Fun and informative!!!

Best review on KZfaq, thanks!!

Thanks, Zero Water gets my money.

I got mine today and I'm very happy.

great!

The beauty guru background music is a RIOT. But love the review

That was fun.

The speed and ease of assembly is slightly important but, since you'll only be doing it every so often, it is not a primary consideration. The 1-cup filtration duration test was useful in that we know which filters are going to be the most laggardly, a factor that some people hate. The grip-pour-features test was flawed in that the filters weren't filled to capacity to truly test whether the grips were comfortable. The testing itself was inadequate. TDS doesn't tell you if the water is good or bad, and conductivity is probably not going to discover the amount of non-conductive particles. The question of the health benefits of alkaline water remains up in the air. You could also have run simple tests like for chlorine/chloramine that only require drops. It would've been nice if you'd shown a chart of the results. The lady with the Pur invalidated her test by tasting the soda first, which would've set her sweet taste buds to a higher standard, thus making the filtered soda taste less sweet. Smell and taste are highly subjective from person to person, so each member should've checked all five glasses of water. If anyone was sick, or a woman was on her period, that would negatively impact his/her gustatory and olfactory senses. Also, the fact that the same soda wasn't used for each filter somewhat negates the value of the test. Nevertheless, the soda test was useful in that it gave a visual demonstration of some of the capabilities of the filter. I used to sell NSA filters and those could completely filter soda water - not that this is recommended, though, as it'll gum up the filter quickly and provide a food source for germs. Finally, some of your awards were based on materials from the respective companies, at least in part. Unless this was not marketing material and was from a respected lab, the material is not necessarily relevant. Also, if the tests used by one company weren't as comprehensive as another, or the list of removed compounds/elements was not complete (i.e. they focused on things people think about most, like lead and chlorine), then the comparison was invalid. Finally, you claimed that the Brita removes the most lead but, during a test in another KZfaq (TV News) channel, they discovered that Brita, Pur and another brand removed 90%, while Zerowater removed 98%. (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8uImZB9y96dn58.html) Overall, your testing was useful, but for a company like yours I expected a better, more robust and scientific approach. I hope you'll redo the test using science, and include other brands.

Excellent. If I lived in your area -- I would be your customer.

Good content, Thanks for that. How did we eliminate aqua gear from the contest?. There was no explanation provided for that. I was planning to buy aqua gear because that’s the best that I got from my search.

We just bought a Propur pitcher....removes over 200 contaminates. It's been around a few years....I wonder why it isn't in your lineup.

I have to ask if they all had the same instructions for assembly, iow no pre prep before use? I have a pitcher I bought from Target, UP and UP (uses a Brita filter), and one of the things it tells me to do is immerse the new filter shaking out air bubbles, then have it go through two filter cycles before drinking it. Just because the pitchers look assembled doesn't mean it's being utilized properly.

Thanks!

Uhhh that was really brief.... Thanks Much

I tested my zerowater filter with the drops that you put in the water and the pH was around 4.5

great review, went with zero water.

the TDS meter measures how many particles are reduced but not what type of particles. If you want to know which is the most efficient in reducing CONTAMINANTS, search for the NFS certificactions that each brand has in their website and that tells you exactly what they are reducing. In my opinion Clearly Filtered is the best out of these 5, ZeroWater the second, because not only Clearly Filtered reduced more CONTAMINANTS, but also, they claim that they add some good trace minerals like calcium, hence the TDS value. Also, their water is alkaline, ZeroWater's is neutral, not sure this is good or not, but i know is not bad, would have to look into the corresponding charge of good trace minerals.

I have that Brita Monterey and it’s the worst with the longlast filter. Longlast my $&! Every longlast filter I’ve used clogs within one month and slows down to a drop every 5 min. Searching for a better one brought me here. Thanks.

Good video, it would of been nice if you sent some of the water to be tested though. It would of been a great investment (into your channel) and pushed the video over to the next level. Anyone can do the on test and ppm test.

Zero Water obviously filters the most solids, but it has two big drawbacks. For whatever reason, the water taste is not quite as good as with Brita ... but that could be a matter of opinion. I have seen numerous comments, however, to this effect. The bigger issue is the cost of the filters ... much higher cost, and when the filter goes bad, you will know it because it starts to smell like a dead fish. With Brita you need to change filters every so often, but even when they are past their due date the smell will not gag you like with the Zero Water. Conclusion: if cost of frequent filter change is no object to you, go with Zero Water. If you are watching your dollars, Brita gives you great tasting water for a lot less money.

WHAT DOES SPEED HAVE TO DO WITH SAFE WATER

What stores sell Zero?

14:16 the moment the guy in the light blue shirt regrets being on the panel =P also why did you use two different coloured sodas? Why not all be red for the same comparison. Odd you would do that.

what about Propur that is supposed to be better than Zero water

Wish you were able to tell us the frequency of the filter change.

Freaking wow! Thank you all for this amazing review video!!!! I have the "brita large 10 cup BPA free stream filter" and it sucks in my personal opinion, which lead me to this view in search of a better filter pitcher. The taste on the brita that I just purchased is not desirable at all to me, so beware for anyone that's considering water filter pitchers. Anyways, thank you for this video, I plan on purchasing the zero water filter or clear water filter!

I had an old Zerowater and after a few weeks of use the filter made the water stink... looking on Amazon I saw that mentioned on other reviews. Not sure if that happens on this new version, but the filter looks the same. Also, which filter out Fluoride would have been a nice addition. But great video.

Nice video, I still can't decide

7:25 a little heavy, but a nice shape to it... Yes indeed! =P

You should have mentioned which one's use BPA free plastics ! 🤔

i'm disappointed that you did NOT test/compare using a TURAPUR water filter.

Clear as mud to me.

Isn't it risky for the Zero filter to take out all minerals? Do you have to take a mineral supplement to make up for this?

Please tell me which one filter out Fluoride? I moved down from Queens New York to Cary North Carolina and the water here taste terrible . I lived in Colorado , Arizona , California , Montana and Washington state. I have to say the water taste and smell of chlorine here in Cary

Would have preferred a better test than just a tds meter but i understand that it would be too expensive to test properly.

What is the best water filter pitcher that makes alkaline water???

Everyone got a medal. Who is a winner?

You forgot waterdrop!!

Oh, if only one of them did everything one wanted 100% - hard to choose: bacteria reduction over lead reduction, etc. etc. Reverse osmosis is still the best - the old design of the soda bottle filled with water and dripping down through a thick carbon filter. Can I still get those filters anywhere? Does anyone know? It'd be the kind of simple solution to contaminated water (all kinds of contaminants) that I think the Peace Corps used in countries abroad.

so maybe we buy the two best and pour the filtered water into the Zero container last, it's so complicated to get clean water.

All of them should have been tested with tds meter.

You can’t beat Klar, that’s my professional opinion as a water drinker 😂

2nd test I’ve seen Zero water you can always add a tsp or two of pink Himalayan salt to the filtered water if your wanting to add minerals

You Did Not follow the instructions for the Seychelle first you need to hook the filter up to the sink with the provided adapter and run a few gallons of water thru the filter to prime the filter than put it in the pitcher.

I bought the 0 water pitcher and also the (larger) spigot model. I gave the pitcher to my girlfriend and very much like the larger one.

Why did they all win a ribbon or an award? Also how can you go off claims? You could not even test for lead. Zero Water claims it reduces a lot of lead too. Wouldn't that make the Zero Water the best with two awards?

Clear water has the best filtration out of any of those

The lady didn't even twist the pur filter and lock it in place lol! What a bunch of BS

I forgot why I changed my mind about zero, before this video. Maybe the reviews I've read. Leaning towards Clearly, Epic and Aquagear which wasn't displayed. I've had britta for years The first design they stop making; it had a lid that didn't fall off. Clearly is expensive though

Zero water is the only one i will ever use and it last me about 15 gallons or more of well water . The other filter will never come close to it ...

I put urine through a brita 4 times tgen it just tasted like clean water yup.

in other words, "everyone gets a trophy. . ."

There were too many winners. You were being politically correct. Who makes the best water pitcher?

where is aquaphor huh?

Uugghh…so no one pitcher does ALL those things??? I have no idea which water is the healthiest! Soooo confusing. This video did not help,

bet if you put the blond on any other one it would have been that bad LMAO sorry had to

you forgot aquagear! :(

Red Foreman...

Those soda colors look like orange & yellow. Not red & especially not green

Didn’t even consider WaterDrop pitchers?

the tinky bell sound drove me off

Hi I once purchased a brita pitcher and cut open the filter and found fluoride beads inside why on earth would they do something so wicked ?
