Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) are non-organic impurities found in water, which contribute to a
difference in the taste of water. Dissolved solids enter our water supply through old piping, run-
off from road salts, pesticides, fertilizers and more.
How fast should my water filter through a ZeroWater
®
device?
The filtration will be slower than conventional 2-stage filters because its 5-stage filtration works
much harder to remove more contaminants.
Does ZeroWater
®
reduce the pH of water?
Once the filter reaches end of life, you may experience an acidic or slightly fishy smell/taste in
the water. As indicated in our instructions, once the digital meter reaches 006 or the light
indicator lights up (depending on which was included in your device) you should discontinue the
use of the expired filter and replace it. Our filtration has an end of life indication whereas
standard filters do not. Continued use of the filter, after it expires, will only further deteriorate
the ion beads and a reduction in pH may occur. The reduction in pH is not dangerous but there is
a chance under extreme filter exhaustion that the pH levels may be reduced low enough to where
you will experience a taste difference in the water, occurring at a meter reading below 1 or 2. We
cannot determine if the filter failed prematurely as we have no indication of your tap water
quality (all water is different and we have no way of knowing the specific properties in
everyone’s water) nor your daily water consumption. Since the quality of tap water varies the
reduction in pH, when your filter has reached the point of exhaustion, can vary as well.
