Where i live you pay 3.7$ per gallon of distilled water so zero water is a great alternative, the tap water is a bit above 120tds so the filters last for quite a while for my coffee brewing
Let us not forget that a PPM meter is only able to measure the electrically conductive ions in the water, such as calcium, magnesium, and sodium. There are usually more chemicals present in tap water, such as chlorine, fluorine, and bicarbonate. They can only be detected using other methods of testing, like test strips. Luckily, Zero Water also filters these out. One thing that I don't like about Zero Water is that the output water has kind of a syrupy mouth feel. It's something I notice from other filter systems, as well. I'm not sure if it's due to the ion exchange process, or if perhaps one of the substances in the filter is being dissolved into the water. It could be the activated carbon. I need some scientific testing! (Not that it seems to have a negative effect on the coffee produced via this purified water. It's just weird)!
I have really hard tap water and recently bought a home water distiller off of Amazon for $60. It boils the water and slowly condenses it using a fan. I’ve been pretty pleased so far. I’m not convinced it gets everything out of the water, but the taste is miles better and I’ve not noticed any build up at all in my kettle. It takes a few hours to get a gallon, and I have to clean out the scale after every few cycles, but it is a lot cheaper than buying distilled water. Assuming the thing lasts even a few years, I think it is worth it and I would recommend it to those looking for DIY water options.
I once had an electric distillery and it would take 3-4 hours to make a quart of water. I gotta wonder for the cost of electricity to produce it if its worth it ?
Bonjour, J'ai fait l'achat d'une carafe ZeroWater de 7l,5, mais on n'a toujours ce mauvais goût su robinet Autre question : Est-ce que ça peut faire venir des bactéries si on garde l'eau filtrée dans la carafe et en bouteille Merci d'avance pour la réponse.
Zero water filter takes out good minerals too. I don’t like it because it doesn’t discriminate between good and bad minerals. Everything in water isn’t bad. It sucks out everything from the water!
I found if I use my refrigerator filtered water for my Zero Water it increases the longevity of my Zero Water Filter to keep it at 0 TDS longer. I also talked to Third Water and they were all on board with Zero Water as distilled water can add-up $.
@@Star_Gazing_Coffee_Lover hello, I will need to check as Zero Water did advise me that once the filter is used it must stay wet, so I have been leaving it in the container with water, but you have a good point I will need to checkout, thanks
I only use water from my Zero filter for my Breville. Works and tastes great. We are fortunate to have an artesian spring in our city, we get our drinking, cooking, and water for the Zero there.
Thanks for the video Hoon. Distilled water at my local Kroger is $2.59 per gallon. I read that you can only expect 8-15 gallons from 1 zero water filter if your ppm is 300-400 like it is here. At $15 for each filter plus the cost of the vessel, it’s not that much more expensive to just buy bottled distilled water for a while 🤷♂️ might still consider the Zero water so I don’t have to transport gallons in the car every couple weeks though 😅
I buy 3 filters and they keep me in the range of 0-5 PPM for at least a year before I have to replace them. I have three pitchers and rotate them and in the winter I use them to filter the water I use in the humidifier. My water I might add is not as hard as yours.; but I think is well worth the money.
Where, l live north of the border I pay $76,44 for a 4 pack at Wallymart. My filter pretty much lasts the same as you stated with yours. I've noticed though lately 2023 that the blue caps are now plain, some are scratched up and the filtration sand is no longer gold coloured but black. Feels like the product is not as good as it use to be.
Eh but you don‘t want to drink that? It‘s made for industrial usage and not for drinking. They explicitly warn you not to drink it and for good reason. The way it is filtered isn‘t food safe by any means. There are still some chemical residues. Technically it‘s not distilled water. Something like zero water will be the food safe choice here 😅. Ofc it isn‘t distilled either but it will do the job for coffee when remineralised.
Total dissolved solid. What Is the container glass or plastic? If its plastic then its still useless. After is filters, tje water still hugs with plastic.
Zero Water filter lasted only two weeks for me before smelling and tasting funny. I'm the only one in the household, with a family I would have to change it once a week - it's expensive too.
I been using Zero Water for years. It has all but eliminated the need to DeScale. I still do so 1 time a year, but still not much mineral in the machine. I do not add back any minerals. I keep the ppm 0-3 PPM.

Hi Hon what I was trying to ask was have you done a video on greasing your Lelit Bianca handle or any cleaning
I got one like this. I'm glad to know it's a good one
I've got one of those and they are great

total dissolved solids tds,i use distilled water and add a little MgSO4 and NaHCO3

Honestly, I have been using Third Wave Water for a very long time, and the espresso version does not calcify the machine.
I found if I use my refrigerator filtered water for my Zero Water it increases the longevity of my Zero Water Filter to keep it at 0 TDS longer. I also talked to Third Water and they were all on board with Zero Water as distilled water can add-up $.
Also if you lift filter out when not in use and let it air out it lasts longer also..

Wonder how much plastic it adds to the water given all the plastic parts.
Is spring water good for coffee?
I've been using Zero for years. I love the taste. Does anyone know if it filters out micrcplastics?
What mineral are you adding and how much?
I only use water from my Zero filter for my Breville. Works and tastes great. We are fortunate to have an artesian spring in our city, we get our drinking, cooking, and water for the Zero there.
Is the container plastic or glass?

Does it remove bacteria?

I use the Peak Water Jug
Anyone putting bottled water through zerowater to filter out all the leech plastics/microplastics?

They’re using resin
Coffee taste better to me when the water has minerals in it. I use spring water.
Mine is 330PPM from tap. Just wonder how long this filter will last me
8. Gallons however going to remove filter inbetween water filter and see if that helps
Berkey is better based on cost. The constant filters every 2 weeks is super expensive. And once the filter goes bad the water is terrible.

Sp you never drink water from restaurants ? When you go to a party,do you bring zero water filter?😊😊
Filters don't last long enough.
The number was 359 and not 395. Not that it really matters but you transposed the last 2 numbers.
