Culligan with ZeroWater Technology 10 Cup Pitcher

I had been purchasing their Zero Water filters for my Zero Water pitcher so I thought I would try their pitcher. I had, and have, a feeling, that the Zero Water pitcher is going to be discontinued anyway. There is no way this is a ten cup pitcher. When I put even a couple of inches of water in my dog's bowl there is hardly any water left in the pitcher. The fill opening on top is so small that it is much harder to add water than it is with the Zero Water pitcher. Trying to see the attached meter means going through contortions, since it is behind the handle. If Culligan discontinues the Zero Water filters and pitcher I am going to have to look elsewhere for a water filter company. Epic fail, Culligan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Durable and aesthetically pleasing! Water tastes so crisp and clear and doesn’t have that plastic smell or aftertaste. Low maintenance product details meaning the parts are super easy to detach, clean and inexpensive to replace when needed. I can’t believe all the things this filter checks for and gives me a peace of mind knowing it’s safe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently stared using this pitcher, and it's become a dependable product in my kitchen. The precise TDS meter reminds me when it’s time to change filters, which is convenient. The five‑stage filtration, removing nearly all dissolved solids, PFAS, lead, and chlorine, delivers water that feels cleaner without any aftertaste. Its slide‑top lid and no‑drip spout feel thoughtfully designed for daily use, and the capacity is ideal for fridge storage during the summer. My sole reservation is that the cost of replacement filters is on the higher side. They’re effective, but can add up over time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this for my cold brew and it is so good! perfectly filtered and the little meter is so so cool! easy to refill and clean! I don’t keep it in the fridge at all times and I’ve had no issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is so great to have filtered water without spending so much at the store constantly or without having to buy filters for the sink that look bulky. It’s simple you fill the pitcher up with water and set it in your fridge. The filter removes anything that is not needed in water giving you fresh water every time! This is a must have especially since we have entered the summer season. I would recommend you pick one up today!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, this thing is heavy duty!! The filter is massive and does an amazing job filtering the water. It literally tastes like bottled water. We had another filter pitcher and we can 100% taste the difference. Even our morning coffee has been upgraded! It does take awhile to fill up and it doesn’t fit in my fridge very well. Depending on how long the filter lasts, I might be witching to Culligan for good!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy and convenient to use and makes my water taste amazing. The filter works fast and you notice an immediate difference. The whole thing is durable and handles the weight well.

We have a whole-house water softener, with one RO (reverse osmosis) faucet in the kitchen, and as a result I'm a long-time user of water pitcher filtration systems to have clean (and tasty) drinking water throughout the house. You can drink unfiltered softened water, but you might mistake it for brackish bayou water straight from the tap. Additionally, a softener does nothing to remove dissolved solids or chemical residue, hence a portable filtration solution. I've used a variety from Pur, Brita, LifeStraw and ZeroWater, and I've found ZeroWater's ion-exchange filtration system to be the most practical and effective for daily use, now shared with Culligan. It does not remove bacteria like the LifeStraw, but does remove most TDS (total dissolved solids) throughout the life of the filter (all TDS when new, hence "Zero", but progressively less when it needs changing), and the multi-filtration system also removes odors and a host of proven unhealthy chemicals present in even "safe" public tap water. Culligan's system accomplishes this with their own ZeroWater filter, slightly different than ZeroWater's original. So kudos to Culligan for using a great design. As far as the pitcher design, my review is a comparison of Culligan's 10-cup pitcher compared to ZeroWater's original design (side note - both companies are now under the Culligan umbrella). But significantly, you can still purchase the original ZeroWater pitchers from Walmart, Amazon and other outlets. The Culligan design makes some substantial improvements over the original - the handle is more robust and easier to hold, the square configuration of the pitcher makes it easier to store in the refrigerator, the sliding top cap makes it easier to fill, the TDS meter now continuously monitors the filtered water so you know when to change the filter just by looking at the pitcher (when the meter reads 6 ppm TDS), the pouring spout is larger and pours quicker, it's easier to disassemble for cleaning, and overall the pitcher is more compact and attractive than the original. The new filter design does seem to filter as efficiently, and quicker, than the original. There are some minor annoyances - the TDS meter doesn't appear to have any seals and is not completely waterproof like the original. You may discover this if you don't remove it before washing the pitcher, and find water in the battery compartment (although changing the batteries is easier in the new design). The filter slides in from the top with a bayonet lock, which is not an improvement over the original screw-on filter from the bottom and just (slightly) complicates changing filters, and even if not a negative certainly doesn't add anything. The top sliding cap also doesn't have a positive lock, so opens very easily. Good when filling up, bad if you accidentally flick it open on the counter. Leading to the most significant minus - the pitcher spout (and complete front of the pitcher) is open to the ambient air, not just unsealed but uncovered. The original ZeroWater pitcher has a small flap covering the spout - for good reason. Everything in the air, all the dust - and floating organisms in same: mites, bacteria, algae, mold, spores, and even larger gnats, flies, and mosquitoes - can fall directly into your pitcher and clean filtered water unhindered in the Culligan design. And every living thing in your house, in addition to you, wants water (well, maybe not spiders). Not so much a problem if stored in your refrigerator (although it will result in your water absorbing food odors in time, but cheese-scented water may be your thing). But more than a hypothetical problem on your bathroom or kitchen counter, particularly in warmer months. And warm, pure, uncontaminated water is an ideal place for things to grow. Things you don't want to drink. Those mosquitoes mentioned? There are 10 to 20 in your house right now in the Summer, depending on where you live, and the females love still, undisturbed water. So perhaps there have been no reports of organic contamination of filtered water in Culligan pitchers to date (a quick rise in TDS would be indicative). New design, perhaps not a large user base in the short time on the market, but the fact is that the design permits the possibility. When it could have been mitigated with a simple flap on the spout, or even a stopper. Otherwise, a good start by Culligan, and a useable product. You should clean any drinking water container standing out at room temperature at least every 2 weeks anyway; with Culligan's pitcher you might want to consider weekly, which should minimize the effects of the open air design. Or just store it in your 'fridge. Recommended, with comments.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does take a bit for the water to filter but it was fine. Felt kinda bulky and not big enough. But worked fine. Didn't really like the taste of the water but I do realize it was different than my other pitcher

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received a free Culligan 10 Cup Pitcher with 5 Stage Filter and ZeroWater Technology from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This comes with a built in TDS water tester (with batteries included). I tested my unfiltered tap water which scored over 200! After I ran it through the Culligan 5 stage pitcher the water tested at zero! The water tester can also be removed and used to test other water. The pitcher itself is a great size and doesn't take up much space at all. Finally, and probably most important, the water taste absolutely amazing! No aftertaste, just clear, clean, crisp water. The only cons I found were the water does take awhile to filter, you can only pour so much at a time into the opening and it filters slowly. To fill up the pitcher probably takes about 5-6 minutes. Also once the water is low you cannot pour it all out because it will spill everywhere, it pours great when it's full or even a quarter full but once it gets down low do not try to pour anymore water out! Lastly the placement of the TDS tester is right inline with the handle on the pitcher. The only way to read the tester is at an angle. That being said the pros definitely out weigh the cons the pitcher works great and is definitely worth the money! I would highly recommend. I've used mine every day since receiving it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would use this, when I have no other option, but to stay home and drink the filtered water, this size of pitcher, really isn't going to cut it, for a large family. I have to make this work, which is an art I have mastered due to life circumstances, it may take about 2-3hrs to make this water drinkable. The ppm of the water came from 362 to 349, which is fairly quick, but it does need additional time, to ensure that the water is safe to drink. I may not feel comfortable giving this water to someone who has an immediate need to drink the water, as the taste of it, doesn't feel quite fresh. When I drank this, it tasted like tap water, as a complimentary review this is absolutely fine, since it's not water I have to pay out of my pocket. But for guests, this is absolutely no.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this for about a month now and it has been amazing. I love how clean and crystal clear. My water has been since I’ve been using it. The only downside is that it does take a while to filter but everything else is amazing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this filtered water pitcher. Easy to put together and fill up. Makes my water taste so much better because I HATE sink water. The filter works great too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Started using this filter and it’s the best thing ever ever! I don’t have to buy water bottles after using it. It’s easy to assemble and the best thing it’s practical.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product 😍 water taste so good! Design are great 👍🏻. Technology going are great. I am really suggesting to you. Try it or buy it! Durability btw very comfy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Culligan 10-Cup Pitcher with ZeroWater Technology, and it’s exceeded my expectations in every way. The design is sleek, modern, and compact — it fits easily in the fridge and looks great on the counter. The 5-stage filtration system is incredibly effective, removing virtually all dissolved solids, and the result is water that tastes pure, crisp, and refreshing. Durability-wise, the pitcher feels sturdy and well-made, with a strong handle and a secure lid that doesn’t leak. Maintenance is simple — the filter is easy to replace, and there's even a built-in TDS meter to let you know exactly when it's time for a change. Overall, it’s a smart, high-performing pitcher that makes clean, great-tasting water easy and accessible. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This water pitcher with a 5-stage filter works absolutely amazing. Filtering your water from harmful solids! It holds a great amount of water and can be kept in the fridge!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hadn’t had a filter water pitcher in several years but I’m really impressed with this one! The water tastes great and the pitcher holds a lot at one time. I love having cold water ready in the fridge. Easy to use and easy to clean. Will definitely get a replacement filter then ready!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Culligan 10-Cup Pitcher with ZeroWater Technology for a few weeks now, and honestly, I’m really impressed. The biggest win for me is how clean the water tastes—like, noticeably better than tap or even a lot of bottled water. You can actually taste the difference. It uses a 5-stage filter, and it comes with a little TDS meter that tells you exactly how many total dissolved solids are in your water—which is kind of fun and also super eye-opening. I tested my tap water before filtering and after, and the difference was wild. The pitcher’s design is convenient too. I like the spout at the bottom so I don’t have to lift the whole thing every time I want a glass. The only downside is the filtering process is a little slow, and the filters don’t last super long, especially if your water is already pretty hard. But for me, the quality of the water is worth it. Overall, if you’re picky about how your water tastes or just want something that feels a little healthier, I’d definitely recommend it. Just be ready to replace the filters fairly often, depending on how much you use it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great water pitcher that truly filters your water. It comes with a TDS meter to test the water and I tested multiple different waters with the one from this pitcher reading zero and tasted clean with no chemical or chlorine taste. The pitcher is a little heavy.
