ZeroWater 12 Cup / 2.8L Jug

£44.99

Call me fussy, but one of my pet hates is tap water. I find that it can have a slightly stale or metallic taste, so a filtration jug is a must in my fridge. This meant that I was more than happy to test out the ZeroWater Advanced Filtration, to see if it really did freshen up my hydration.

Compared to other filtration jugs, the ZeroWater is highly technical with lots of unique added features. However, I found that it did in fact purify my water and got rid of the strange taste. When looking at the technicalities of the ZeroWater, it uses a specialised 5-stage Ion Exchange Filter, that dissolves the solids that would usually affect the taste, making the water taste extra fresh. Just to check that the water is up to a particular standard, ZeroWater includes a Water Quality Meter. Although, this is good for those who are extra particular, for me I don’t think I would use it too often, becoming somewhat of a novelty.

The sheer size of thing is admirable as it can fill up to 12 cups. Personally, I quite liked how big it was as you are not constantly filling it up – there is nothing more annoying than pouring yourself a drink and finding it empty. However, due to its increased capacity, you need to have a huge fridge otherwise it takes up the majority of the fridge shelf. However, the ZeroWater can be complemented on its pour, as there is minimal spillage, and any water that is still being filtered does not fall into the lower reservoir or your cup, (an issue that I’ve had in the past). Additionally, the jug also has a handle spigot (effectively its own little tap), that lets you run water out of the bottom, which I haven’t seen anywhere else. 

Although the ZeroWater is more expensive than some of its competitors, its ion exchange technology makes up the extra cost, making the water seem like it has come straight from the Spring.
