Z-Pitcher Takes Almost Everything Out of Your Water

November 20th, 2008 by Ariel Schwartz

For those of you who aren’t lucky enough to live in an area with drinkable tap water, the ZeroWater Z-Pitcher might be worth a look. While other filters leave contaminants such as lead, antibiotics, and perchlorates in your water, the Z-Pitcher uses a filtration system that removes nearly everything.

The Z-Pitcher system uses five stages of filtration to remove suspended solids, chlorine, and metals like lead, mercury and chromium.

Each $40 unit is styrofoam and BPA-free and uses 95% recycled materials. ZeroWater is also the first company to offer a recycling program for its filters (both the plastic cartridge and internal resins).

If you want to go the extra mile for water purity, ZeroWater also sells a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter that evaluates the purity of bottled, filtered, tap, and well water. I’d recommend buying the meter in conjunction with the filter unless you have a masochistic need to know just how filthy your water is before drinking it.
