Zero Water has introduced a water filtering system that removes almost anything from the water, including lead, perchlorates, antibiotics, hormones and other contaminants.
From the outside looking in,
Zero Water looks like water filtration systems such as Pur, Brita or others. But on the inside it offers a far more advanced filtration technology.
The filtering of water is a five-stage process:
STAGE 1 A 20 to 50 micron filter designed to remove suspended solids such as dust and rust that make your water appear cloudy.
STAGE 2 Activated carbon that is Class I rated for chlorine.
STAGE 3 A water distributor screen that also removes suspended solids.
STAGE 4 Specialty resins that reduce levels of metals such as lead, mercury, and chromium in your water.
STAGE 5 A 1 micron filter designed to removed suspended solids.
Zero Water is
certified to meet the highest standards as required by the federal government. Besides the removal of basic impurities, it also removes pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, hormones and perchlorate. The presence of pharmaceuticals in water is a
major concern. Though there are no standards for the pharmaceuticals in water, Zero Water seems to perform well, according to
Tree Hugger.
Zero Water sells different water filtration units. The main
pitcher system sells for $39 and the
water cooler system sells for $99.
The water takes a long time to be filtered in Zero Water, so you have to plan ahead to get purified water.
Another unique advantage for Zero Water system is that the filters can be recycled free. Customers send the used filters back to Zero Water and get a shipping discount for their next purchase.
