ZEROWATER Vs Brita Vs Bottled Vs Tap Water - Which Is Better?

[@theotherside001]

I agree with Ali. I don't know why they are testing for dissolved minerals. As a retire Master Plumber and water supply protection specialists, the filter notes on Brita, it is designed for TASTE and ODOR. there is no claim of the product on scale, sediments or mineral removal. Read your labels people from the manufacturer! If you want a filter for mineral remover to become distilled water then buy one that states as such.

[@TaNgLeD2121]

You want minerals in your water, it’s the chlorine you don’t want and the brita is best for getting that out

[@vanillagoose4444]

Brita does not remove Chlorine, leaving water in the fridge in a glass overnight educes the chlorine

[@alianjum1566]

I don't think people realise. Zero water takes all the mineral out. Literally all. That's not drinking water that water goes into car batteries and stuff.

[@diyfab]

Hi I didn't know this! That is very interesting, definitely some food for thought and something I will look into thank you for sharing

[@mr-mrsknow-it-all2998]

Car battery lol, but true

[@LivingWellTV]

While this is true, it's not relevant. We get far more minerals from food. I'd rather have my water free of chlorine, fluoride, lead and mercury than worry about trace amounts of minerals in water. I'll get my minerals from food thanks.

@@mr-mrsknow-it-all2998 ''We need to both eat and drink'' Genius bit of information right there! You really do 'Know-it-all' Next you'll be telling me that we need to breath air!

[@bigbostickr2292]

@@LivingWellTV he is correct if your water has not minerals present it will actually provide no benefits to your body you don’t eat enough of the same type of food everyday to have enough minerals alone, your body is made up of 80% water you need to drink water that has beneficial minerals and is natural

[@jcastro91235]

Awwh man I just got the Brita and I did notice a big difference in taste compared to tap water

[@jimtalor7971]

Maybe for a more accurate reading, whatever container/glass you are going use,rinse it out first with same water that will be tested.

[@Jin-Ro]

I have that reader, it comes with the Zerowater jug. Rinsing it makes no difference to the reading to be honest.

I love my zero water!! Thanks for sharing

Its brilliant stuff right! Thank you for watching :)

[@lizrain2210]

Will pitcher filtered water remove cancer causing acids in tap water?

[@theotherside001]

BTW, if the solids are dissolved, does that mean they are only in liquid form or totally removed from the water? There is a difference.

[@_J4CK4L_]

Good question

[@asmaanasr9105]

How long the zero water filter last before I have to buy another filter?

[@izerelynda]

They don't last. It was way more expensive, replacing the filter every week than getting my regular bottled water which wasn't too bad anyway.

[@thegingerburpeesguy5596]

zero water is the best but the filters are so expensive it's insane how much it cost

[@diyfab]

Hi there I agree with you they are certainly very expensive, unfortunately!

[@Gray-zi5bp]

How much are 0 water jugs

[@vanillagoose4444]

i tested my Scottish Tap water a few years back against Evian , i’m near Lanark, the Tap water read 0.00 PPM and the Evian was like 0.97 😂

[@ChocolateTampon]

Yeah, Scottish tap water is amazing and soft. Also, the tap water in the North West of England is great. Down south it tastes like shit, it's so hard.

[@shinigamiryuk5315]

What state or country do you live? I live in Idaho and tap water is 140

[@DavidGreen-oc4nv]

Could you tell us what the numbers mean, and what numbers represent good and bad?

[@luckypro6354]

up to 50 is perfect after 150 is no good, 300 is technical water..

[@SlicedBread2014]

From a website explaining TDS total dissolved solids. 2000 Unacceptable: A TDS level above 2000 ppm is unsafe and household filters can not properly filter this level of contamination States nothing bad will happen when it is low. Just flat tasting water.

Has it occurred to you that you are wrong?

[@maksspiga1106]

Girl you are measuring total dissolved solids arent you? TDS are not automatically "contaminants", tds are not all bad, most of it is minerals, which are good for you.

[@Jin-Ro]

Although Zerowater is by far the best, the filters cost an arm and a leg compared to the competition (£40 for 3 at the time of this comment). The bottled water also generates a lot of limescale in my experience. So although I have a Zerowater, I ended up buying a Brita. It got rid of the limescale issue, and the filters are far cheaper and 3rd party options are available. (£20 for 6 genuine Brita filters)

[@John-zp2jm]

Brita isn’t as clean as water bottles

[@Gymson]

Good idea for you, if you really wanna go for it i dont know. I heard some people buy 2 filters and use expensive filter second so it will last a lot longer like that, but will give cleaner water.

[@johnbirch6365]

Maybe your brita was old cos my water from it taste super sweet and clean, could you do a retest lol

[@josh786manchester]

Great video! Thank you! I love water tests!🤓

[@justlisten9477]

A reverse osmosis 5/6//7 stage system is the best option especially one that re-mineralises the stripped water. The ZeroWater is a gimmick and doesn’t actually give much health benefits… In my opinion, 1st place is the bottled water,2nd (close) is Brita then Last is ZeroWater

[@bensengil8635]

that reader you are using doesn't tell you what it's containing. Natural spring water will read about 150-200 (which are actually healthy minerals) and show 300+ in sink water (we all know how dangerous and toxic sink water can be, exp in the U.S). So, this isn't really a good way to conclude anything since the reader only measures particles other than water in it. Keep in mind that reading 0 means it is just water= which means it will actually take minerals out of your body to even out: leaving the body with less minerals it was before. It is best to drink spring water. PS i used to use zerowater since the sink water is pretty scary (in the US) that can filter out lead (it is the only filter that takes lead out of the water is the zerowater filter. The downside: takes everything out).

[@johnnyyang5980]

Zero water filters are the best but not a necessity. I dont think cleaner tap water is going to do any good for your health. Good video though,i was do one too.

[@diyfab]

Hi there glad you enjoyed the video. You have an interesting point, I'm definitely going to look into this :) thanks for watching

[@johnmknox]

Having no TDS doesn't make for the best water filter. For example, ZeroWater is not so great at removing chloroform and trihalomethanes despite having a TDS of zero. The closer to zero TDS the water is the more like rainwater or RO water it becomes. It is very plain and bland tasting. You don't necessarily want your water filter to filter out everything because a lot of the minerals in the water are good for you and even some of the metals. This is why ZeroWater filtered water often doesn't taste so great compared with other brands as it is the farthest away from bottled mineral water that you can get.
