ZeroWater 23-Cup Dispenser Review & Giveaway {SPOOKtacular Giveaway Hop}

What steps have you taken to start living a healthier lifestyle? Going organic, establishing a workout routine, or trying to get more quality sleep? How about drinking more water? As you strive to hit the mark of 8 glasses a day, are you aware that 1 in 4 American’s tap water is unsafe or has not been properly monitored for contaminants in accordance with federal law? The importance of drinking water safety cannot be overstated. ZeroWater is ready to help you access clean, pure water in an economical and environmentally friendly manner.

I was recently offered the opportunity to try out a ZeroWater 23-Cup Dispenser, the largest capacity filter dispenser on the market! It features a convenient one-hand push-to-dispense spout, which my kids think is fun to use. The dispenser is designed to refill through its easy-access flip-top lid, so there is no need to remove the entire lid from the dispenser or remove the dispenser from the fridge for each refill. The dispenser is also equipped with a built-in holder for the TDS (total dissolved solids) meter that comes with the product, so I don't have to worry about misplacing the meter. The meter normally retails for $29.99, but it's FREE with each ZeroWater pitcher purchase. Like all other ZeroWater pitchers, the 23-cup dispenser is BPA-free.

ZeroWater 10-Cup Ready-Pour Pitcher Review & Giveaway {2017 Mother's Day Giveaway Hop}

Drinking water safety has a direct impact on your health. For many people, filtered water is the best choice because of its lower cost compared to bottled water and higher quality compared to tap water. But not all water filters are created equal. ZeroWater prides itself on being the ONLY pour thru filter certified by NSF to reduce both lead and chromium! If you haven't tried a ZeroWater pitcher before, consider getting one for both your family and your beloved mom, who'd sure appreciate the gift of safe drinking water on Mother's Day and beyond.

As the first in its class to be equipped with a sealed lid and reservoir, ZeroWater 10-cup Ready-Pour pitcher makes it possible to pour water that has already been filtered without spilling water that's still filtering. This feature not only increases the capacity of the pitcher by 25%, but also considerably shortens the wait time. The push-and-pour spout of the filter makes it easy to pour water with one hand.

The pitcher uses the patented ZeroWater 5-stage filtration system, which combines five sophisticated technologies that work together to remove about 99.6% of TDS (total dissolved solids) from your water, including Aluminum, Zinc, Nitrate, Fluoride and more. It is in fact the only water filter that meets FDA standards for TDS in purified bottled water.

Aqua Safe Straw Review

Are you concerned about drinking water safety? Do you know that bottled water may contain potentially dangerous levels of bacterial or chemical contamination? According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, over 40 million people in the U.S. drink water from contaminated systems? I could be one of those being affected! That's why I'm so thankful for the creation of Aqua Safe Straw, a portable drinking-water filter straw that provides peace of mind for everyone, especially parents and kids on the go.

Aqua Safe Straw is made in Australia. In the shape of a highlighter, it consists of a sturdy plastic outer case and a technologically sophisticated microfiltration membrane capably of removing 99.9999% of harmful water borne bacteria and contaminants. It is designed for single person use in glass filled with tap water. Filtration occurs immediately as you sip the drinking water up.


I recently received a sample of this innovative high-tech water purification system. I'm deeply impressed by the following features of the straw:

• Compact & lightweight: 8" long * 0.7" diameter; weighs 24 g. Simply slip it into your pocket like a pen and have safe drinking water anywhere in the world.
• Easy to use: Dip its tip into water and sip directly. No waiting time. No power or battery ever needed.
• Economical: Reusable up to 500 liters (132 gallons). Retails at $34.95 each, breaking down to only 7 ¢ per gallon!
• Safe & chemical free: No chemical additives, no after-taste, safe for children 12 months and up.
• Eco-friendly: Reduces our carbon footprint by significantly reducing the consumption of bottled water, the production and disposal of which has major destructive impact on the environment.

Overall, Aqua Safe Straw is an essential personal safety product and excellent travel companion when you're flying overseas, backpacking, hiking or camping. It will also come in handy at home in case of an emergency concerning the contamination of your water treatment system.
