This new certification allows ZeroWater to bridge the gap between water from the municipal treatment plant and what actually comes out of the tap. After treatment at the local municipality level, water can pick up dissolved solids, including copper and lead, as it travels through numerous pipes to the faucet. To eliminate concern of adverse health effects by the consumption of potentially high levels of copper and lead, ZeroWater has taken all the necessary measures to achieve certification for the reduction of the traces of copper and lead that may be found in tap water.
Doug Kellam, CEO of Zero Technologies, said: “This latest certification underscores the evolution of water filtration technology available directly to the consumer to improve the taste and safety of their tap water. ZeroWater can now take yet another step forward in delivering a great-tasting, economic alternative to purified bottled water.
“Anyone making the transition from bottled water or conventional carbon-based filtration can now make a better, informed choice when it comes to comparing the various possibilities for at-home water filtration systems.”
The ZeroWater filter was the first and still only gravity-fed water filtration device to achieve certification for lead reduction under the new requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 53: Drinking Water Treatment Units – Health Effects, and remains the only water filter pitcher to remove virtually all dissolved solids from tap water.
