My tap water at home tastes horrible. I hate seeing all those little bottles get "recycled". I refill them from my 5 gallon spring water dispenser. And I am getting tired of hauling several 5 gallon (read 35lbs) bottles of water around. I can refill for .20 a gallon nearby, but cost is not everything. So I bought a Zerowater device today. It comes with a Total Dissolved Solids meter. My tap water reads 185 PPM, my spring water reads 18 PPM, and this filter does give a reading of 000 on the water it produces. Takes care of the taste issue also. One complaint people have is that at a suggested filter change reading of 006 they get expensive. But if my spring water tastes great at 18 I am thinking the filters can actually be used longer. One of the benefits of the one I chose is that it is self contained. It is basically a pitcher with a built in filter. I am happy so far and thought I'd share.
