As a group exercise instructor, runner, and professional actor, I drink a lot of water during my day. As a cancer survivor, the quality of that water is of particular importance to me. Using ZeroWater tumblers at the gym, and the large counter-top tank at home gives me confidence that the water I'm putting into my body is pure and wholesome. To be honest, I didn't notice a big difference in the taste... that is, until one sleepy morning when I filled my glass with tap water instead. I could taste a clear difference. I can't speak for the science involved, but I can say with certainty that I prefer having ZeroWater in my mouth! I also like the idea of being able to drink purified water without adding empty bottles to the landfills of my beautiful Kentucky.
