Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of ZeroWater ZT-2 Electronic Water Tester
Customer Review: Good tool for the task
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd heard about this water tester from my parents. We have an Everpure ROM system that we've suspected wasn't up to snuff in terms of filtering the water coming out of our drinking water faucet in the kitchen. My parents had gotten a system installed and I guess were pointed at this tester to test the water after the installation.
I got the tester and tried it out against a number of samples. I checked the regular tap water (we're in Los Angeles so the water quality is okay but not in any way perfect) and it seems our filters are barely better than the tap. Fun. Tap was at around 180 on the meter (ppm). The "filtered" faucet was 160. At least it was doing something.
I did some additional checks against bottled water testing against Arrowhead (bulk mineral), Dasani (purified) and a bottle of Voss (not-so-bulk mineral) my wife picked up at a restaurant. As you'd expect, Dasani was at zero (it's just purified tap essentially). Arrowhead was at round 60 and Voss was at 40-ish as I recall.
I guess it's time to buy some new filters!
The device itself is easy to use (just uncap, press the on/off button, and dip the tip in the water sample). You'll get an instant reading. Just remove, dry off (or flick-dry) and press the on/off button again.
The only real downside to this tester is that it really just does one thing: tests dissolved solids. So, if all you care about is how well your water filter is working? You're set here. Otherwise, if you need pH or water temp, you'll have to look elsewhere.
