I tried that too but it isn't working anymore.Yes, I drink our tap water. I put it in a gallon container in the refrigerator. It seems to taste better when chilled.
Yes, I'm fine with it. I even take water to work in a reusable stainless bottle. Our water isn't the best tasting but it's safe. We also have hard water and every now and again the cat's water dish needs a cleaning with cleaning vinegar.I used to. We have reservoirs in the mountains with water shed lands all around them and the water was pure and clear, but there came a water borne disease called giordiasis which I and some others contracted. A medication cured it. As a result the water company built treatment plants to make the water safe but the flavor suffered. Lately it has gotten worse, so I now only drink bottled water but still cook with tap water. How's yours?
While playing in the woods as a kid, I got thirsty so I drank from a rain puddle like a dog. Still here to tell the tale too.During the summer days of my youth I drank more water out of the hose than the kitchen tap, and I'm still here to tell the tale.
Yes, I check it once/week. It usually reads "0" for several weeks. But sometimes, I'll change the filter as soon as the water doesn't taste right.Have you checked you tap water with the meter? I did this morning an both tap and Zero Water read 000
I started out with PUR filters. I changed to Zero after the PUR filters didn't last very long. I think they changed to a cheaper manufacturer.We use PUR water filters on our faucets in the kitchen, bathroom and camper when we go on trips. So we usually drink filtered water including the house water bowl for the dog and cat.....sometimes I fill the outside porch water bowl for them from the outdoor tap. Our water doesn't taste too bad, but I like to remove some of the stuff found in tap water. My sister lives in Texas, and I remember her water tasted horrible, like aquarium water IMO. She gets her drinking water from her refrigerator feature. We also drink a lot of plain, unsalted, unsweetened pure seltzer water, Perrier, etc.
Not sure about the manufacturer, we've been using them for years and change them out around every 3 months.I started out with PUR filters. I changed to Zero after the PUR filters didn't last very long. I think they changed to a cheaper manufacturer.
