Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
With its generous 23-cup capacity, this innovative water-filtration system keeps pure, filtered drinking water conveniently accessible--its sleek, space-saving design fits neatly on the counter or on a shelf in the refrigerator. Functioning as both a water filter and a handy dispenser, the unit comes equipped with a push-button spout for simple one-handed dispensing into a glass, water bottle, or other beverage container, or even into a pot for cooking. Unlike conventional two-stage carbon filters, the dispenser's next-generation filtration system combines five levels of water-purifying technology. First, its activated carbon and oxidation reduction alloy removes the chlorine taste typically associated with tap water. Next, its Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into water from aluminum, lead, and other types of piping. Finally, three additional stages of filtration remove other impurities and ensure the water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a "000" reading on the included laboratory-grade Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) water-testing meter. Other accessories include a patented dual Ion Exchange water filter, a handy user manual, and $35 in coupons for future filter purchases. Thoughtfully designed, the water dispenser also provides a built-in TDS meter holder, a flip-up lid for easily adding more water, and a shape that completely dispenses all the water inside, which means no stale water to worry about. A useful addition to any busy and health-conscious household, the 23-cup water-filtration dispenser measures approximately 6 by 11-1/5 by 15-1/5 inches and carries a 90-day limited warranty.
From the Manufacturer
ZeroWater 23-Cup Water Dispenser and Filtration System
Enjoy pure-tasting water with the latest filter pitcher technology. The ZeroWater innovative filtration system combines five sophisticated technologies that work together to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your tap water, delivering you great-tasting water. This 23-cup system comes with the largest-capacity filter dispenser on the market today, our patented Ion Exchange filter, laboratory-grade water-testing meter and a guarantee to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your tap water.
Even if you live in a municipality that cleans or treats water, water can pick up chemicals on its way from the treatment plant to your faucet, giving your tap water a metallic or chlorinated taste. ZeroWater's first layer of filtration, activated carbon and oxidation reduction alloy removes the chlorine taste you are accustom to with tap water. The Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into your water from piping such as Aluminum, Lead, Zinc, Nitrate and more. Three additional stages are included to remove other impurities and to ensure your water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a "000" reading on your laboratory-grade TDS meter (included). TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids and represents the amount of dissolved substances that can negatively affect the way water tastes.
Unlike conventional gravity-fed or carbon water filters that remove only certain substances from your water, ZeroWater's patented Ion Exchange System with Five-Stage Technology provides the only filtered water to measure an absolute "000" on the TDS scale, which means that 100% of dissolved solids have been completely removed.
To help put this in perspective, meter readings for tap water average between 075 and 300. Conventionally filtered water measures between 030 and 500, and bottled water measures between 000 and 350. Unlike the alternatives, with ZeroWater you can be sure you'll get 100% great-tasting water.
The ZeroWater pitcher not only improves the taste of your tap water, it also helps to improve the environment. When you use the ZeroWater Pitcher, you'll reduce your use of plastic water bottles that clog up landfills and harm ecosystems. You'll also contribute to water conservation, because unlike reverse-osmosis systems, ZeroWater is gravity operated and does not waste electricity or water.

The sleek design on the 23-Cup Dispenser allows you to get you water without taking it out of the refrigerator. The Dispenser has a spot on the front allowing access to water without removing the product from the refrigerator. The Dispenser comes with the following products: One ZeroWater® filter cartridge that removes contaminants that cause water to have an unpleasant taste; An independently made Electronic Water Tester that test for totally dissolved solids in the water. This TDS Meter offers peace of mind that your ZeroWater® filter cartridges are working properly. It also lets you know when to replace the filters. When your water starts reading “006” it’s time for a change. More complete filtration than ordinary carbon filters for a clean, crisp taste. Certified to NSF Standard 53 to reduce specific health-related contaminants such Lead, Chromium and Mercury. Certified to NSF Standard 42 to reduce contaminants like Hydrogen Sulfide, Chlorine Taste and Odor. Certified to WQA42 standard for Iron, Zinc and Aluminum.

Costumer Reviews
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing the ZeroWater ZD-023 Dispenser/ Filtration System. After 6 weeks of use, it performs like a champ, and I'm still on the first filter. I'd guess I've filtered something like 30 gallons, and it still reads 000 ppm on the included TDS meter. My water is from a private domestic well, untreated, and meters on average 220 from the tap.
I compared bottled water from the supermarket. Their "spring water" metered at 065, the store "distilled" at 008. Nearby distributed water system treated water metered at 280. A local business imports their water in large jugs, and they allowed me to check it. "Drinking water" metered at 070; reverse osmosis distilled at 002.
Minimum EPA standards are 500 ppm; New Mexico state requires no more than 1000.
So there are some baselines. My ZeroWater system performed very well. The taste is fine.
The most negative review here didn't mention quality of incoming water, so I found it less than helpful.
Pros of the ZeroWater unit:
A limited-time $15 rebate made the larger unit far cheaper than the pitcher. Plus, nothing on Target's shelves (sorry, Amazon, this time I wanted to actually see and compare products) could match the price.
Quality of water after filtration, as mentioned.
A helpful 1-800-503-2939 customer service number. Two of my questions were answered in short order.
I was told all ZeroWater units take the same filter, so the part interchangeability is a plus.
Small numbers of filters run about $15 each. A gallon of store distilled runs about 96 cents with tax. With that math, the ZeroWater filter pays for itself at about a 16 gallon breakeven. I would guess you'd get at least 50% more from the filter, depending on your water, effectively bringing cost down down to 64 cents in this scenario.
The ZeroWater convenience factor is harder to measure. Put it this way: a gallon of water weighs about 8.3 pounds. Do you really enjoy hauling that from store to car, then car into home?
ZeroWater encourages recycling. There's a form on their website which you can print out, enclose with your shipped-back filter, which will then give you $10 toward purchase of other ZeroWater products. This includes new filters, of course. Your shipping cost is more than covered.
In winter, I use a fair amount of water in a vaporizer. In this application, using distilled water keeps the vaporizer clean, and avoids the need for de-scaling/ cleaning with the toxic chemicals the manufacturer recommends.
Possible cons:
The spigot is a spring-operated design with an O-ring seal. I would guess this would be the only part which might fail, possibly creating a leak. However, I would also guess the spigot could be replaced a a reasonable cost from ZeroWater.
I highly recommend this product. I have yet to be disappointed with any of its features.

I am a very happy Zero Water customer. My family and I love the taste of the water and since it comes out of a blue pitcher we all call it "blue water". The water is great tasting, and according to the water tester included, the cleanest water as well. You cant beat zero! We were so happy with the pitcher we just upgraded to the new 23 cup version. We now can enjoy the great taste and do not have to fill the pitcher as often. The spout on the new pitcher allows us to pour the water and not have to take the pitcher out of the refrigerator.
Zero Water has enabled my whole family to drink more water. We save money over bottled water. We help the environment by not using the plastic bottles and even save money. When the water starts to taste poorly, we know it is time to change the filter. For some reason when the filter goes bad, you know its time. This beats the other products when you have no idea when to change the filters.
