Culligan with ZeroWater Technology 32-Cup Water Filter Dispenser Includes 5-Stage Advanced Water Filter Certified to Reduce Lead Total

This water dispenser is such a great product to have in my home. It fits perfectly in my fridge and is very convenient to use. The water tastes very clean and I know I’m getting clean water based on the included TDS meter reading the water inside the dispenser versus my tap water. Having the 3rd party certifications are great peace of mind to know the filter actually works. The design is simple and clean too. Read more

Slow at first then began working quickly after one full pitcher filling. Water tastes so good and completely clear. I have rusted galvanized pipes in a 1940s house, that render orange water and bits of debris and all is cleared with this. Like the built in meter that will say when filter is not working... Yes pricy but we deserve clean drinking and cooking water. Wish the spout was more defined for pouring, but ok now that I am getting used to it. Read more

This newly redesigned water purifier fixes many flaws in the past version: The water sprout redesigned so doesn't leak anymore TDS meter now fits on above water sprout so reads water TDS levels in real time with no effort Top opening slides effortlessly so easy to add water without having to deal with the top plastic cover falling, etc This is my first new version of the re-design and it's 22 cups. I had bought three of the prior version "ZeroWater 23-Cup Dispenser Ready-Pour 5-Stage Water Filter" but due to ongoing water leaks, returned two of them. All these water filters took 155 TDS readings down to 0 readings and the water tastes much better. DO NOT BUY the older "ZeroWater 23-Cup Dispenser Ready-Pour 5-Stage Water Filter", since going to leak all over your floor/surfaces due to defective design in the water sprout. I'm glad was able to return two of the older models in time. Let's hope ZeroWater continues to keep the replacement water filter quality up. Read more

I had a similar ZeroWater 22 cup dispenser that used the original, screw-in filters. I liked it just fine EXCEPT that sometimes I could get the threads on the filter to match up perfectly, so that when I screwed the filter on, some water would leak directly into the reservoir (i.e., would bypass the filter), resulting in unfiltered water mixing with the filtered water. When I saw that Culligan had bought the Zerowater company and redesigned the filters to drop in, rather than screw in, I decided to switch to the newer model. Same size, better design than my older model. The dispenser itself is great -- sleeker and the spigot works fine, and I also like the integrated TDS meter, which lights up when the filter starts wearing out and water contaminants exceed 6 ppm. I also like the effortless experience of dropping in the new filters. HOWEVER -- what other customers have complained of is true: these new filters don't last nearly as long as the old ones, and they cost more! The original screw-in filters, which were larger, lasted me about 5 weeks, whereas the new drop-in filters last barely 3 weeks. So, overall, it's now costing me nearly double to filter my water and the only additional benefit is the convenience of not having to wrestle with the filter when I change it. My advice for anyone who already has, and loves, a Zerowater pitcher or dispenser that uses the original, screw-in filters: don't switch, unless you, too, have trouble getting the filter to screw in perfectly. As long as you can buy and use the original filters, save yourself some money by staying with the original design. But anyone thinking about switching from a different brand of filter pitcher -- you probably won't find anything that does a better job of filtering tap water. ZeroWater removes all the bad stuff and produces water with a clean, sweet flavor, even if your municipal water is pretty bad (my area's water comes out of the tap at around 350 ppm of contaminants). The dispenser is sturdy and attractive and works flawlessly -- it's great to have clean water without having to junk up the landfill with discarded water bottles. Read more
