Zuvo Water Purator Review and Giveaway CLOSED

Zuvo Logo
"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."


We are big water drinkers in our family. That is my drink of choice. I always have a bottle of water with me every where I go. It can be expensive buying water bottles...but I HATE tap water. I feel like it tastes like metal.  I am so glad that I found Zuvo. 
The Zuvo Water Purator is skinny and tall so it doesn't take up much space on your counter. They also have a below counter option as well if you don't have the space. 
I was really nervous that this was going to be hard to install...because I really have no idea how to put things together, but it was really easy.  The kids loved watching it fill up and love seeing it light up. I was really impressed with how GOOD the water tasted. I know a lot of people say water all tastes the same...but it doesn't. This water is really fresh and tastes so good. The filters only need to be replaced every 500 gallons, or six months. Which is really great considering a lot of systems have to be replaced every month! 
This is how it works:

Above Counter

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.
Above Counter

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.
Above Counter

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.
Above Counter

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.
Above Counter

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!

If you are looking for a really great water purification system, that requires very little maintenance, the Zuvo Water Purator is the way to go!
I know the price seems a little expensive at first, but check out the break down of the different systems out there! It is really interesting.

I learned that it does not reduce flouride. :( Our well water is very good but has way too much flouride in it and has caused staining on my children's teeth. This looks like it would be a great filter to have anyway.

I love that the Zuvo Water Purator UV Light doesn't have to be changed often. It is rated for 10,000 cycles and Zuvo believes this represents a 7-10 year life-cycle. This is great!
