Our family just recently moved to a small town that refuses to do anything about changing the piping that the entire city’s water is piped through.? This has caused the water to be some of the worst that I have ever seen.? The water is so bad that in about 2 weeks, a new toilet does not look new anymore and begins to be quickly ruined.
We have tried one filtration system after another because of how harmful the water would be to drink.? Every water filtration system we have used has been completely ruined in one month because of the buildup of junk from the water.
I recently had the chance to review the Zuvo Water Filtration System and was really curious to see if this would be the cure for our water.? We have tried countertop filters and water pitchers before but none that directly connected to the sink so we were very curious to see if it would work.
It took my husband less than 2 minutes to get the filter connected to our sink – it was amazingly easy and I told him hands down the easiest to set up.? The others have taken at least 30 minutes – one taking an entire hour due to soaking the filter and a bunch of other stuff.
I love how it directly connects to our sink.? (The faucet is clean but the water that we have spots everything – we have to use special chemicals to remove the spots from anything we own.)
I wasn’t sure if I would love how the filter sits on my counter but it really does not take much space and it reminds us to pull out the filter.
My favorite part of the filter is the light that comes on when you turn on the water and pull out the button to filter the water:
(I turned off my flash so you could see the light that the filter emits.)
My kids love the watching me fill their cups with water because of the cool light.? For the first few days, the whole family just stared at the filter to watch it work.? What’s cool about the light is that it is part of the purification process of the water.
Here are the 5 steps that the Zuvo Water filtation system uses to produce great tasting water:
Step 1: Ozonation
In nature, ozone is generated by lightning and cleans the air where rainwater forms. The Zuvo Water Purator mixes ozone with incoming tap water to treat taste and odor contaminants and improve taste. Like chlorine, ozone is a powerful oxidizer. Unlike chlorine, ozone leaves no chemical residue.
Step 2: Ultraviolet Light
The ozone saturated water is flooded with high-intensity UV light – the same as the solar energy that cleans water in the upper atmosphere.
Step 3: Photo-oxidation
The Zuvo Water Purator combines UV and ozone in a patented process known as photo-oxidation which releases powerful oxidizers to further treat the water.
Step 4: filtration with lead removal
Pure spring water is created by passing through fine particles in the earth. Zuvo uses the same principle by passing water through a Class 1 Particulate Reduction Filter, reducing chlorine taste and odor, lead, and tiny particulates.
Step 5: post-filtration UV
The filtered water is again exposed to high-intensity UV light as it leaves the Zuvo Water Purator, ensuring that you get clean, healthy, great tasting water…just the way nature intended!
Now our opinion on how the water tastes – phenomenal!? It did take a little getting used to but we love it!
The Zuvo Water Filtration system costs $299 but the peace of mind that you have knowing that you are handing your children healthy water is definitely worth that price.? Also when you consider the cost savings when you don’t have to buy bottle water – the filtration system will pay for itself.
You can get Above-Counter or Under-Sink filtration systems.

we would like it to purify our water.
i live in a city where water from the tap is not that good, zuvo would purify and hopefully make it taste better
I recently had two surgeries on my face and several months of radiation for stage 4 cancer. I lost part if my mouth all of my upper teeth and am on a mostly liquid diet. That, and the radiation, requires that I drink a lot more water than normal (bottled water can get pricey). This sounds like an awesome solution.
We would definitely benefit, we have well water and it is horrid, it turns everything brown, toilets, sinks etc… if they are not scrubbed everyday. Because of that we never drink the water, so it would benefit us with healthy, drinkable water that we don’t have to pay for
We have well water that leaves our sinks etc…brown unless we scrub them everyday, making it undrinkable. Having this would benefit us by having drinkable water that we don’t have to pay for and lug in

I just moved and the water here is terrible. I boil all drinking water and the deposits left on the pot have me worried about what I am consuming and so I would greatly benefit from purified water.

We wouldn’t be drinking whatever is in our water that this gets rid of that’s for sure. :)
Our water in New Mexico is hard, even with a water softener. I worry about having too much salt in the water. I think this filtration system would preven kidney stones!
I would get better tasting and more healthy water.

We would drink more water because right now we are concerned with are current water.

The Zuvo Purator would be very beneficial for us because we have well water. Unlike city water, ours is not constantly checked for dangerous parasites and the like. I would feel so much safer if our water had such a great filtering and cleansing system!

I think this cool water filtration system would encourage my kids to drink more water.
We could stop buying all that bottled water and save money.

Be sure that our well water is clean
My family would drink more water if it tasted better. Our water tests safe, but it has a sort of chemical taste.

I have no concerns about the safety of my tap water, but I would expect that the system would make it taste better. Right now, I can only drink it when made into lemonade, etc.

it takes up little space compared to many other filters. it would be great to have as we are on city water, you can smell our water.
My family would benefit from the ZuVo Water Filtration System by being able to have clean water to drink, to cook with, and to avoid continual purchase of plastic bottles. :-) Thank you.
i’m so sick of the brita, could definitely use this as can’t trust tap water anymore
My family would benefit from a Zuvo by having perfect, clean water to fill our reusable water bottles, since we do not buy bottled water.

Sadly, my son can sometimes be a lazy teenager and if I dont boil and bottle some water he will be reaching for soda. This way he could easily take water.
Our tap water doesn’t taste especially good and I won’t buy bottled water because of environmental concerns. We do have a filtration pitcher, but the replacement filters are expensive (and don’t last very long). The result is that we don’t drink as much water as we should and the Zuvo System would resolve that problem.

Our tap water is gross. I never realized how nice it was having a well until our pig of a city involuntarily annexed us and we had to use their expensive and bad-tasting water. It’s so bad that in the summer, all you have to do is walk into anybody’s kitchen and you can tell that they live in Cary. It would be so nice to filter out whatever it is that’s in our water.

Since the oil spill earlier this year, our municipal water supply tastes terrible. We’d love to own a Zuvo so we could stop buying water – which is a hassle and very expensive
My family could really use this. Our water has a lot of iron and smells. This would allow me to be able to have clean cooking and drinking water without the exspense of buying jugs of water and with trying to raise two little ones alone every penny counts.
I subscribed to your email.
I would feel a LOT more comfortable knowing that our water passed through the zuvo filtration system. I simply do not trust our tap water.

Thanks for the giveaway…would love a Zuvo Water Purator because our tap water quality has not been the same since our city started replacing water mains/meters/pipes this summer: city says it’s good but it is a bit cloudy, and has a strong chlorine aftertaste ! Tried of the filter pitcher, replacing filter every other month, and we refuse to go the bottled water route !

We would benefit by having great tasting water and by not worrying about what contaminents are in our tap water.
following on google (07violet)
My husband and I tend to drink bottled water, but of course, we still cook with the stuff from the sink, wash dishes with it, and most disturbingly, I have to use the sink stuff for our cats, because they get it filthy too fast to use the expensive stuff. I’d love to have the water filter so I know that the water we use is safe, especially for our little furbabies.
Cleaner better tasting water would be great since we use tap water.
Me and my family would benefit from the use of the Zuvo Water Filtration system by using less bottled water and more tap water.
