I just saw an ad for this water filter, Zero water. Supposedly it will filter water down to 0ppm, and even comes with a tester to prove the claim. It appears to be a pitcher/water bottle-based filter, not a under the sink system. Anyone use one or know anything about it? I've thought about getting a water filter for my own drinking purposes, but if I can get one that I can use for my CPs too, great! Any ideas?


UPDATE: I bought one and it arrived today! It came with a TDS meter. Before filtering, my water read 184ppm! It honestly does take it down to 0!! It even says to replace the filter when ppm reaches 6! I was pleasantly shocked! Now I have an easier source for zero ppm water if my rainwater runs out, and I won't be buying bottled water for myself anymore! Yay!

That should work fine, I looked at the technical info and it is a DI filter scaled down to fit in a water pitcher. It won't be productive enough for a larger collection but if you only have a few plants it seems to be a good option.
