Our verdict

A dispenser with a built-in TDS meter for people who want to see how pure their water is. It works only with ZeroWater filters, and each filter's life depends on your tap water.

Overview

Pouring tap water into the top sends it through a five-stage ion exchange filter that strips dissolved solids. An included TDS meter reads the water, and a change filter indicator and ergonomic handle round out the build.

The reason to buy is a certified filter that removes lead, PFOA and PFOS, with a meter that shows the result. The limitation is that ion exchange filters wear out faster on hard water, and the listing gives no filter life in gallons.

Who it's for

Households concerned about lead or forever chemicals, and anyone who likes verifying results with a meter, fit this dispenser. People on very hard water, and those who prefer a long-life filter, may find the replacement schedule short.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Five-stage ion exchange filter
  • Built-in TDS meter included
  • Certified for lead and PFOA/PFOS
  • Change filter indicator
Cons
  • Filter life not listed
  • Works with ZeroWater filters only
  • Spec entries look unreliable

Performance notes

Ion exchange resin swaps dissolved ions for hydrogen and hydroxide, which is why the TDS reading drops toward zero. Hard water loads the resin quickly and shortens filter life. The TDS meter lets you decide when the filter is spent rather than guessing.
