Review on πŸ’§ Aquagear Water Filter Pitcher – Superior Protection from Lead, Chlorine, PFOA/PFOS, and Microplastics, Crystal Clear by Alexander Morgan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Zero Check for kitchen and dining room

After doing a lot of research I was tipped to buy a Zero Water filter pitcher because it comes with a TDS meter that can check if the water has been filtered. However, after reading the AquaGear FAQ, I found out that the TDS meter cannot detect contaminants like Arsenic, Chromium-6, TTHM and many others because they are too small for the TDS meter. That's why I bought Aquagear. Checked the tap water with a TDS meter, it was 200ppm. Then I filtered it with Aquagear and indeed the number has NOT decreased. Since the filter is NOT NSF certified and I cannot verify Aquagear's claims with a TDS meter, I have to rely on their "independent" lab testing. Aquagear claims they use accredited laboratories to meet and exceed NSF standards. The lab tests published on their website are original lab tests created by Aquagear. These are not official/original lab test results. So I asked customer service to show the original lab tests but was told they have a non-disclosure agreement with those labs. Due to the lack of transparency and verification I am now looking at the Clearly Filtered Water Filter Pitcher as they post the original lab tests on their website and tell you which certified labs they used.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great
