This densely layered 5-Stage Water Filter for the ZeroWater range efficiently removes virtually all dissolved solids (TDS) from tap water when used in their jug, dispenser or pitcher – so there’s no risk of accidentally drinking miniscule water-born particles. A perfect fit for the 1.7 Litre ZeroWater 5-Stage Water Filter Jug with Free TDS Meter, multi-packs of two or four filters are also available. What does the filter remove? The ZeroWater 5-stage filter removes virtually all dissolved solids from potable drinking water, including heavy metals such as lead (99.2%) and mercury (99.4%) as well as chemical compounds like nitrates and chlorine, and any added fluoride. Which is especially good news if you have ancient plumbing in your neighbourhood with lead pipes carrying your supply, as using this superb filtration system means you can rest assured that none of the nasties are going to make it into your drinking water. Removes: Lead – Zinc – Asbestos – Copper – Chloride – Fluoride – Mercury – Radium – Chlorine - plus over 99% of microplastics exceeding 3 microns in size. Effective 5-stage filtration process Once you’ve poured your water in, the filter gets to work: Stage 1: Coarse filter screen – removes fine particles and sediment. Stage 2: Foam distributor – spreads water across the whole filter for more effective removal. Stage 3: Multi-layer filtration – with activated carbon to filter out contaminants and an oxidation alloy to remove chlorine and heavy metals. Stage 4: Dual ion exchange resin – strips foreign ions from water molecules. Stage 5: Ultra-fine screen and non-woven membrane layers – remove remaining ultra-fine particles. How long does each filter last? Each filter will turn up to 150 litres of tap water into ZeroWater, but this depends on the original quality of your tap water and the amount of dissolved solids, so they will last longer in soft water areas. Helpful tip: if the filtered water starts to taste a little bitter, as if you’ve added lemon juice, it’s probably time to change your filter. Try to remember to check the levels with your FREE digital water meter every time you use the jug, so you are forewarned when the filters become less efficient. Once the reading is over 006 the filter has expired and needs replacing. About ZeroWater ZeroWater is the only gravity-fed water filtration system to match the purity of the very best filtered and bottled water, by capturing 99.6% of total dissolved solids, including residual minerals that can be prevalent in regional groundwater and run-off compounds that may leach into water supplies, especially after heavy rainfall. This breakthrough filtration system is certified by NSF International* to remove lead and other heavy metals, while The Good Housekeeping Research Institute recognise that ZeroWater removes more total contaminants than other brands of water filter. *NSF International are an independent organisation, internationally recognised as experts in public health and safety issues and as their testing processes are extremely rigorous, gaining certification from them is highly prized.
