How the Zazen filters your water

As the first phase, the ceramic filter removes a lot of junk. When you go to clean the ceramic dome with a tooth brush you will get a fair indication of the sorts of floaties that are in your water!

After making its way through the ceramic, the water slowly drips down over a cylinder which contains several different layers of filtrations, including carbon (the most common filter medium), alkalising beads (to give your water a slight alkalinity and lastly a layer of zeolite to remove heavy metals, fluoride and other nasties.

Above you can see a close up photo of the multi stage cartridge. This filter needs replacing roughly once per 6 months depending on usage, and costs $50.

The water then reaches the main vessel, in which sits a bunch of silver stones and natural mineral stones. Silver is a great natural anti bacterial medium and will assist with minimising cleaning required, and helping ensure your water is always fresh. The mineral stones add some healthy minerals into your water, including potassium, magnesium, iron and trace minerals. At the outlet, there is a magnet built into the tap, which is said to have several positive effects on water’s structure.

Verdict

As a filter that sits on your countertop, the Zazen not only looks great but it performs exceptionally well, is super easy to maintain and is reasonably priced.

Most importantly, the taste is what really sells the product. To me, it actually has NO taste – the water is so pure, with no aftertaste or unpleasant smells. Because of the stones, your water is remineralised and beneficial for your health.

When you consider the cost of filters (roughly $150 per year minus any specials or package discounts) the system isn’t terribly expensive, and would sure be a lot better for the environment, and cheaper, than buying bottled water (in BPA plastic bottles mind you!).

The initial cost of the entire system is $495.  Highly recommended!
