  • Not worth the time. Use a 25% off coupon at bed bath and beyond if u wanna save money

  • Once it’s hit 006 it’s hit a bacteria rate that will multiply at an increasing rate, so now what you’re actually doing is just adding bacteria to water before putting it into your fresh filter, I’m not sure how introducing that bacteria to the clean filter would extend the life of the new filter. If you want to have your filter last longer the only way I’ve achieved that is ensuring as soon as I fill my pitcher it goes back in the fridge.. I had that countertop one that you have and returned it because the filter doesn’t last long if not kept cold. Refrigerating the Zero water ensures potential bacteria growth is slowed down to a minimum as bacteria is known to thrive in warm/hot conditions. If you want room temp water, my suggestion is to loose that countertop aquarium nightmare like I did, get the pitcher, fill it up and immediately transfer to a countertop pitcher, then refill zero water fully and put it back in the fridge. Hope this helps, as for this idea in the video, cool how you stacked them but not a good idea at all since you’re just polluting your new filter and for me it took 2 days for 006 to got over 100, the water turns sour and you know you’re not drinking anything good.. good luck!

  • I bought 2 and love them. I use it in my keurig plus. The 78oz one and man o mna it's peeeerrrrrfect

  • I have a question, the water that filters through the filter tastes sour as if there was a lemon inside. How do I clean the filter?

  • Doesn't work... My primary filter hit 50 after 10 days, then rapidly failed, I switched the secondary to primary that failed in 5... Your really not getting that much more use out of these if your water is about 380 to start with.
