Fits next to my sink.
The water is transferred, in my mind. The reading from my faucet is 99. The reading from the zero is zero. I love it.

Water Stinks like a dirty aquarium
Do not recommend. Your first filter that comes with the system will last far longer than any of the replacement filters you buy - how interesting. Filters become quite expensive to continue purchasing when they only last 2 weeks and then produce a horrid fish smelling water. This is a common issue with this system if you google it. We are throwing it in the garbage and ...

Not worth the high price tag
It works, however, the filters only last me 7 to 10 days and I am the only one using it. I use it to make coffee as well. In my opinion, it is an overpriced filter system. I wouldn't purchase another. But now that I have it, I want to get my money's worth.

Still Plastic and Leaks and TDS meter sucks
The filter housing and the piece that holds the filter are plastic, so there is less plastic but still plastic in the container with the water. The faucet likes to leak a few drops after turning off. The TDS meter included has no on off switch so keep the old one it is better. Looks OK, the top fits loose.

great for fresh water on your countertop
This product is exactly what i needed. I have culligan reverse osmosis in my house and needed a water solution in my ADU. this gets the job done for my tenant with clean, fresh water and looks nice on the countertop. one downside: there are some plastic components so something to keep in mind if you’re plastic free.

Beautiful upgrade for our water filtration dispens
The design of this water filter/dispenser is so chic and beautiful! Assembly was fairly easy, I recommend testing with some water filled to right above the sprout, so you can see if it’s leaking and needs to be tightened before filling all the way! The only caveat is that it’s heavy when full and needs to be carefully placed on the silver stand.

Beautiful, convenient & healthy!
We had a filtering pitcher, but found we were spending so much time refilling it and waiting for it to filter through. This glass dispenser looks beautiful on our counter, and I can fill it just once a day and never have to wait. Thank you!

Well-Made Product
The dispenser seems well constructed. The spigot is metal as is the stand and cover and the glass container is thick. I'm still in the first month of ownership so still on the first filter. The water tastes much better than city tap water and hopefully all the bad things are being removed. It makes water quickly so I'm never out. So far I'm happy with the purchase.

Much Easier to Use, Still Good PFAS Removal
We bought this last year. It is even more helpful than the other Zerowater excellent pitcher products. No pouring-into-glass bottles every morning, and you have to replace and clean the glass container much less often. Just DON'T drop the glass container when you finally clean it !

We love it
We enjoyed experiencing this water dispenser. The best part is the stick that checks the metal levels. We could actually taste the difference in completely metal free water.

Great addition!!
This filtered water dispenser is an excellent addition to any home. It's extremely easy to assemble, has a good water capacity, and although the water filtration isn't fast, it seemed adequate to me. I like the simple, elegant design, and the water tastes very good.

Cleaner Water, But Don’t Forget the Minerals! 💧
I’ve been using the Culligan 40-Cup Dispenser with Zero Water Technology, and it really does a great job filtering out everything — the water tastes super clean and fresh. It has a 5-stage filter, so you can actually see the difference.
But keep in mind — because it removes all dissolved solids, it also filters out the good minerals. So it’s a good idea to add electrol...

Easy To Maintain, Great Tasting Water
This water filter dispenser has a 5-stage advanced filter to remove 99.9% of dissolved solids, and is certified to reduce five times more harmful contaminants (such as lead chlorine, and mercury) than other leading filters. The kit includes a TDS water tester and an alert to change the filter. The dispenser features a drop-in water filter, and easy pour spigot. I lik...

Works Well
Set up was simple, but at times a bit clunky. It was difficult to gauge how much to tighten the spigot and washing the large glass container was a bit daunting. But prepping and installing the filter was easy and using it is even easier! It’s been helpful to have on hand instead of going for bottled water, especially during small gatherings. It takes a while to filter l...

Cleanest and purest water I ever drank!
I am really enjoying this water dispenser! It looks great on the counter and holds a ton of water, so we don’t have to refill it often. The water tastes super clean and fresh, this is the purest water I have ever tasted, you can tell easily the difference. The TDS meter is a nice add on, it is helpful to know when it’s time to change the filter. It feels good knowing we...

Absolutely the best 5 stage water filtration techn
Absolutely the best filtration technology, super elegant design with 40 cups of capacity, easy to maintain and best filtered water. Has a little tap as water dispenser. We tried the filtered culligan water, gives very distinct and clean water feeling when compared to regular drinking water.. 💯 recommended.

Culligan water filter
Very impressed with this water filter. The perfect size so that I don’t have to fill it up too often. The taste is great and a lot better than my refrigerator filter I’ve been using.
