Holiday Extravaganza #6: ZeroWater Review and Giveaway

I have never been a fan of tap water. In my opinion, water should not have a taste, and most tap water does. If it tastes, it's probably not good. I drink a lot of bottled water which to me is much better. However...in recent months I've learned more and more that most bottled water isn't as "pure" as the companies would like you to believe. That's why I really wanted to try and drink more filtered water. Not only is it better for myself and our family, but it's also more cost effective and eco-friendly!

ZeroWater was kind enough to send us their ZeroWater Pitcher.

I was really excited to try this product, as they claim it leaves behind nothing but pure water. I was curious to see if this was really the case, and was pleased to find that it is!! The ZeroWater is fantastic!! Each pitcher come with a TDS meter which measures your water for Total Dissolved Solids. The number represents the number of dissolved substances in parts per million that is in your water.

When we first received the ZeroWater pitcher I was looking forward, and honestly a little nervous, to test our tap water, as well as to test the ZeroWater. We first tested the tap water which was shocking to say the least. The TDS gave us a reading of 365!! Yuck! We filtered water through the ZeroWater pitcher and tested that...it was a zero!! I couldn't believe that ZeroWater's claims were so precise.

I am thrilled to have found a water filtration system that actually does what it says it will do. It's a relief to know that my family is now getting nothing but pure water. It's actually the only filtered water that comes from a filter that meets the FDA's definition of purified bottled water.

There were many things I loved about this pitcher besides the obvious fact that it actually purifies water. I really like the sleek design....it's not too big and not too small. I absolutely LOVE the push button at the bottom of the handle which makes it easy to dispense the water rather than having to take it out of the fridge each time to fill a glass. The best part in my opinion though, is the TDS meter! I think it's great that ZeroWater is so confident in their water that they actually send the water meter for you to have and use. We've really found comfort in having it and being able to test the water we drink.

The ZeroWater pitcher would make a fantastic gift for anyone on your Christmas list this year! It's safe for the environment, saves money and good for you...you can't get much better than that. It's a very practical gift, especially for those with small children. When Kaelyn first began drinking water I would have loved to receive this as a gift so I could introduce water to her in the purest form.

Buy It: The ZeroWater pitcher and filters can be purchased on the ZeroWater website and in Target stores nationwide for approximately $35 for the pitcher and $29.99 for a pack of 2 filters.
