I was so stoked to get to try out the Zuvo Water Purator. You see, I hate our water. It tastes like chlorine. I go out of my way to not drink water from the faucet. Jordan and Pato are the only ones who will willingly get a glass of water.
Here comes the box! I opened it and my kids started fighting over who got to get the first drink of water. (That’s a first!)
It is so cool looking!
We got the above counter model because our apartments won’t let us hook up the under counter model. They consider it remodeling, I think they are silly, but they wrote the lease.
I tried to get pictures of how cool this thing looks when it’s running, it has an ultraviolet light that comes on when you turn on the water, but my camera flash just wasn’t capturing it, so you need to click here, then mouse over the Zuvo Water Purator on that page and watch it light up. That is literally what it looks like, except there is a lot of cool bubbles and mini-hurricane going on inside of it as it rushes to fill with water and purify it.
I’m going to tell you how it works by borrowing from Zuvo’s site.
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!
When you first hook it up, you have to let it run for 5 minutes before drinking the water. My husband, who has never before worried about being the conservationist, said how much water is just going to go down the drain in the 5 minutes? I said, get me a pitcher. So, as it was flushing I caught the water and watered all my plants. No water wasted there!
We cheated. Pato and I got the first glass of water! (The kids were sleeping.) First thing I noticed, no smell. Second? No chlorine taste. It’s how water should taste. Just good water. I was so happy!
Then we tried it out on the kids! Jordan had already drank his fill of water and wasn’t cooperating when I got my camera out, so the girls decided to test it! They had to be walked through how it works, because that’s just their inquisitive nature, then I turned it on and let Kat pull the valve on the faucet (it has a bypass set up so you don’t wash dishes with your filtered water). Both girls filled up their glasses and started drinking.

Alyce – FIRST TIME EVER she has willingly drank a glass of water! EVER. Without a fight.
They both came back for more. And have since asked for water instead of their normal begging for juice as I beg for them to please drink water.
Pato’s reaction? It doesn’t taste like anything. Which means, it works. Because our water had a bad flavor before.
I’ve got to share this from Zuvo’s site too, I knew this, but it still grossed me out reading it again.
When it comes to your body, you should be drinking the healthiest water you can. The better the water, the healthier and fitter your body will be. Tap water may contain lead, parasitic cysts, non-pathogenic micro-organisms and unpleasant levels of chlorine – some of which can pose significant health risks to you and your family, while others make your water taste and smell bad. The truth is bottled water is typically no safer or healthier than tap water and chemicals can even leach from plastic bottles into water.
With pitcher filters, your water is only as
clean as the filter you use. Zuvo’s patented Puration process uses nature’s own cleansing process right in your kitchen. It treats non-pathogenic organisms, taste and odor contaminants, reduces aesthetic chlorine, lead, and tiny particulates. The result? Healthy, clean, great-tasting water right from your tap.
This impressed me too! It’s going to impress me a lot more when we don’t have to buy bottled water. Our landlord pays for our water, so we’ll be saving a lot not putting out money on buying water at the store! And the ice! I buy our ice too because I don’t like the way it tasted before using it from our faucet. I can make ice again!
I think my parents need one of these. Since they had rural water installed, their water is safe to drink (vs well water that wasn’t), but they still buy bottled water because it tastes better. I think they would save a lot too buying the Zuvo Water Purator.
I am really really really impressed by this. Anything that will make my kids (and myself) want to drink more water is good in my opinion!
Check out Zuvo Water Purator! Then get one for your family!
This definitely gets a
for making my kids actually fight over who gets to get water first, for being something that makes my girls ask for more water, and for making water that I am loving to drink!
Thank you so much to Zuvo for providing me with a Zuvo Water Purator to test and review with our family!
