I like watching the Project Farm, real world, side-by-side comparisons of various tools and products. Today's video features a number of name brand water filtration systems from very cheap to very expensive. I was surprised at some of the results. I'll definitely keep my eye on the Zero Water system which is one of the cheaper brands:

I really like PF...

After doing a little searching and reading a few reviews ... it seems that the Zero Water system is great at removing solids but the water may end up smelling "fishy" after awhile. Also, it's designed to filter water that has already been treated against bacteria so it may not be a trustworthy filter system if removing bacteria is your goal. Also, the price for a Zero Water system is only $29.00 on Project Farm but it's around $45.00 on Amazon. Also, replacement filters look to be a bit pricy.

Does anyone have any experience with the Zero Filter? I personally use the Crown Berkey due to its ability to remove harmful bacteria but it's not great at removing solids. Perhaps using the Zero Water prior to using the Berkey could be the best of both worlds? Just speculating!!

What I got out of this was two search terms; TDS meter and water testing kit. My next paycheck is already spent.

I'm not familiar with project farm but it sounds interesting. However i am not impressed by this video. There is another thread on this video, see my post #3 on why I'm not impressed and wouldn't get a tds meter.

I've been running Zero Water systems for about a year. I haven't had an issue with "fishy" water ever, but then I follow the manufacturer's suggested filter replacement time too.

I wish he would have tested these filters with water that had e-coli/total coliform and then tested them for that.

I wish he had tested these filters with e-coli/total coliform waters and afterwards evaluated them for that.
What I've been searching for is the Best Faucet Water Filter.

I like PF but one data point isn't a very good representative of actual reality. Maybe a little less coffee; we are going to test that.
