The ZeroWater Filter Pitcher: A Dentist Unboxing and First Impressions

- Опубликовано: 19 мар 2019
- In this video, I unbox and review the ZeroWater Filter Pitcher. There are a lot of big-name water filters on the market, so what sets this $30 filter pitcher apart?
For one, the ZeroWater pitcher filters out up to 99% of total dissolved solids from water. This includes the fluoride that’s added to almost 3/4 of the public water supplies throughout the US or that naturally occurs in groundwater, like that in wells.
Ingesting too much fluoride can have negative effects on the health of you and your family. Recently, public organizations have begun to find that people are actually taking in a lot more fluoride than was originally assumed. Read the pros and cons of fluoride here: askthedentist.com/fluoride-fa...

How refreshing to hear a dentist being aware of the negatives of flouride
Probably a paid review. Look at all the negative reviews this product has
@@ForeverMods Maybe but honestly, compared to the dentists where I am, his acknowledgement of the negatives of flouride is great. Most of the dentists around here love flouride - still stuck in the dark ages. Regarding the filter, it seems to have both positive and negative reviews
Um ah he is ah annoying. What did ah he say um anyway,
The video was great. You are well informed, however I'd like to mention a few things. Firstly flouride also causes neurological issues, this is well documented. Secondly clean the pitcher thoroughly with soapy water, rinse well, and then dry it. Third MAKE SURE the tap water goes directly through the filter, do NOT let it run off the pitcher as it can contaminate the water. I live in Canada, but I am so glad to see people from all over the world have are becoming aware of just how bad these chemicals are for us. Our "teachers" lied to us when we were young about a lot of things, even if they didn't know the truth of those matters. I wish you all good health! 😀
Thank you Dr Burhenne for this product review! I bought it today before watching your video and now I cannot wait to get the product. The reason I bought it is because for some time I discovered a pink residue in the kitchen spout. Additionally, a friend in a rural area in Texas, who has cancer, started using it for piece of mind to stay as "healthy" as possible. Thank you!🍩
The lesson of the day here, boys and girls, is, when all else fails, read the directions. Wash contaminants out of new unit and off of the exterior of the filter, after it is installed on to the top correctly.
Love your channel and how detailed you give your reviews. Thank you !
Excellent info! Thank you!
Thanks So Much Doctor, You Really Helped Me !!
Thank you,great review !
I thank you for your review, I purchased this product in November and I love it! I too have a little girl and wanted to be very careful what I gave to her health wise even with water.
As a newborn, I only used Brita water, now, I've discovered the ZeroWater and it is perfect!
Crazy product isn’t
Myself I kinda can’t imagine my life without ZeroWater!!!
I’m loving it 🥰
Thank you for your sharing, is it good for remove limescale ? If yes, which model is the best selection? Many thanks
Thank you, great information!
You're welcome, Rob! Glad you found it useful.
Great video!!! What kind of camera are you using?
How do you know when to change the filter?
Thank you for this video. Was using flouride toothpaste and mouthwash. Plus they flouridate my water, which I just sadly found out. Been having chronic body aches and stomach pain for a while. Stopped the mouthwash and toothpaste and started using flouride free. Stomach pain reduced by 90% and most body aches gone. Will try the zero pitcher to get out the garbage from my tap water.
It's so great to hear you've had such improvement! Thank you for staying in touch!
Mine is arriving today. Can't wait !!
I tried, its very expensive and after a month water taste like lemon, so bad taste when filter need replace
What are your thoughts on a Berkey zero gravity water filter? I used to have a Zero water filter, but upgraded to a Berkey.
I already have the large 23cup dispenser but considering getting this to double filter and extend life of a new filters... trying to do it all in one with the 23cup only is such a hassle. This round pitcher is now going for around $50.. do anyone know any 3rd party pitchers out there with a small footprint that will fit a zero water filter? thnx
I've had mine for over 3 months, I test it often and I know how to recharge it by taking the top off and wearing protective gloves and a plastic spoon, I separate each ingredient and put in the sunlight for 3 or 4 hours. Then I reverse the process and put it back. It lasts about 3 weeks, then repeat.
how long does the filter typically last?
It does screw in the top to work.
when you put the device in the water you can press the hold button to just remove it and it will hold the reading. just thought i share that
What’s the pH level of the Zerowater Filtered water? Have you tested it? Love your videos!
Thanks for the kind words! pH testers are tricky and expensive. The one included with the pitcher is for dissolved solids only. Litmus paper is the cheapest and works well (available on Amazon).
I saw another video where they had 5 glasses; zerowater then 4 unidentified until after using the meter and all with increasing readings. The one next to zero water, also zero had nail polish remover in it, the next, also zero was liquid lead, next was a spring water bottle, then one with trace minerals. So Id be curious if you added lead or nail polish remover and it still read 0? Just to test out andcompare that TDS may not be the sole measure of purity.
I saw that video too. The liquid with dissolved lead (50 parts-per-billion) was NOT zero. It read 4 parts-per-million on the reader and while 4 sounds low, that's all lead!
low TDS does not indicate safe water, no more than high TDS indicates bad water. TDS shouldn't be used as a factor in determining the health of the water: ruclips.net/video/HeRGnHuYol8/видео.html
I just got mine and the filter was wet. Like the grey part when you take off the blue lid was wet. Is that normal??? I’m thinking of returning it
All filters which come packaged with the pitchers have been pre-soaked. All consequential filters, which show no signs of wetness, must be soaked for a couple hours, before use, allowing the filtering material to expand-in-place instead of being washed out of a the dry filter, which will cause your water to be cloudy with a high TDS reading of more than 200 ppm. Take the top off the pitcher, fill the pitcher 3/4 full, and set the top back on, submersing the entire filter. After soaking and actually filtering your first pitcher, dump any filtered water which exceeds the reading of your tap water, which may be only a couple of pitchers, but the readings should incrementally descend to 000.
I have read that pure or distilled water is devoid of minerals and can leach minerals from your body. What is your opinion on this, Dr. B?
Hi there, so sorry for the delay. Yes, this is a common concern, but I believe that having clean water (even without minerals) is MORE important than drinking water that is toxic and harmful to your overall health. Instead, I recommend eating fresh foods like spinach, etc, that have a great mineral content, and adding mineral drops to your water. HERE is the one I use - askthedentist.com/product/trace-minerals/
@@askthedentist Thank you.
Hi Doc ~ I’ve used Zero Water filters for a while now. I shall be moving to a new house next month. I’d like to filter tap water to place into those 5 gallon bpa free plastic emergency water containers. Please comm
Is the plastic melamine ???
I got one over a month ago with some filters.
I have found filters dont last long, i double filter my water. I use a britta maxtra first then i stick that water into the zero water filter. The only draw back i can see is its plastic, you could use any stainless steel ckntainer and use the filters with that as its the filters that matter not tbe container.
Our city water, is not to bad in the uk, i am on the south coast but dont want to drink the rubbish they put in water thesedays, like chlorine and flouride and lead and other metals.
A prophet. Positive review while still unboxing..... makes me wonder
I don't drink the tap water I been drinking bottled water since the beginning of time... but just out of curiosity I tested my tap water to see how bad it really is (cause I seen the little paper with the map of the water in the US, and Arizona is the worse state in the country lol.). So when I tested the water, it came out to like 770 ppm I'm like that can't be right so I tested it again 770 ppm... tested a bottled water I drink 024 ppm (I know they add minerals to make it ph balanced), and I was shocked.
my kitties drink zero water! There is increased incidence of kidney disease when kitties get older so hoping this will help.
Zero water filters 0% fluoride. However it does amazing at everything else.
I bought this product to do a job. What I wasn’t sure of was how to clean and set it up. Sadly you just didn’t do that, which was what you first said. 😭😭😭
I just bought it , tried it it gave me 51 reading, I will return it, no good
😁 Had a good laugh w/ this one. Gotta do some editing doc; good info though.
Hi there, Smuggler!
We actually left that in there intentionally cause we like a good laugh too :)

It might help if you read the instructions first - people watching this may inadvertently repeat your mistake of screwing in the filter from the top (especially if they're doing it while watching the video). It clearly says to screw the filter from the bottom. Not very impressed. I thought dentists are supposed to be smart and attentive, not poke around with stuff without first reading instructions. Also, you've called the tester that came with the filter a "particle tester". It's actually called "TDS meter/tester" which stands for Total Dissolved Fluids, and the 'ppm' unit stands for "parts per million" (same as mg/L). "TDS meters can only measure the levels of electrical conductivity in drinking water caused by dissolved solids" - so uncharged contaminants are not detected. Example of those are: Lead, *flouride*, Arsenic, Chlorine and others. You said that water pH level should also be tested, and though I agree, I struggled to find a reliable method of doing it at home; cheap devices online are known to be quite imprecise. I was disappointed you skimmed on the topic and didn't say how you test your pH levels. I find your video to be a tad narcissistic (i.e. you need a massive ego check man).
*continues watching*
ah and um he stutters too.um ah um um ah so again ah um ah to ah give ah you ah
You Contaminated the Filter by Handling With Your Bare Hands, Did You DECONTAMINATE Your Hands Before Handling?? ; Your Need to PURGE The Filter Also, DID You Do That ??
The pitcher is inexpensive. They get you with the filter costs.
I don’t drink water without minerals
funny you say that, Tama. I just got done posting about that here- instagram.com/p/B7YhUo7p8fa/?
Probably doesn't matter unless water is the only source of minerals for you. Many of us eat food and take vitamins. If the teeth need minerals, well I still brush my teeth with tap water so I would think that would do it. ^_^
If you eat normal daily unprocessed food you get all the minerals you need.
I'm talking vegetables, fruit, meat, etc.
Tap water just contains a fraction of the minerals solid foods provide you with.
This is five years later. I have an Epic water filter. It does not filter calcium or magnesium. It does filter flouride and everything else, way more than a. Zero water.
What a truly eloquent ah speaker he is.Um, all I wanted to know um is why ah my thermometer is blinking. UM, I ah loved the instructions um on ah how to remove the product out of um the box.I ah was totally um intimidated by ah that problem. Ah is this guy really a professional? He should ah have written down um what he wanted to say and ah just read it off. Unlistenable. um, ah, Is there another shorter video or do I have to listen to ah to this ah condescending, boring person Im jus sayen
Get to the point man, stop waffling
Clumsy presentation
Zero water has a horrible plastic taste. I don’t recommend.
Our water leaks out of the connection ring. Is there a way to stop this? We did put it on the correct way, from the bottom.
I’m having the same issue. Every time I change the filter it’s a struggle to put it on without seeping.
