The best dispenser for me and the spigot

Prior to getting the Zerowater 40 Cup Glass Dispenser, I had the 30 Cup Plastic Dispenser. This glass dispenser is really the best because it is the easiest to clean.
When I change the filter, I sterilize the whole container with bleach. Doesn't matter which container. I sterilize it. Then I wash with dish detergent to remove the traces of chlorine bleach. Finally, I dry the container and parts, inside and out. The water quality meter will detect the droplets of unfiltered water if you don't remove the water by drying. That is how sensitive the meter is. So, dry it with a clean towel.
Then, I insert the filter and I'm ready to go.
I change the filter when the water quality meter shows 006ppm, as per instructions. And I also change the filter when the water's taste degrades, even if the water quality meter still shows 000ppm. If your water consumption rate is very slow, the water taste can degrade even though the water quality is still at 000ppm. I think that is because slow water consumption gives bacteria time to multiply. That is why I make sure to sterilize when I change the filter.
Other than Zerowater, I still have yet to hear of any water filter company that gives you a water quality meter to compare their filter to other companies' filters. I've tested other filters with the meter. Zerowater's filter is the only one I found that gets the meter to zero.
From the current picture of the 40 Cup Glass Dispenser, looks like Zerowater upgraded the spigot. My 40 Cup Glass Dispenser, I had a different spigot. I did not like the spigot because it was hard to hold down the push button when filling large containers such as a coffee urn. I found that there are aftermarket spigots for water dispensers. If for any reason you don't like the spigot that comes with the 40 Cup Glass Dispenser, you can find an aftermarket spigot at someplace like Amazon or eBay. High quality spigots are still cheap. The size appears to be standard. Replacing the spigot is as simple as unscrewing the nut, putting in the new spigot with silicone washers, and screwing in the nut.
This dispenser is too big to keep in the refrigerator. But I did not keep my previous 30 Cup Plastic dispenser in the refrigerator, even though it would fit.
With a pitcher, you have to tilt to dispense. If you fill with tap water, the tap water will spill when you tilt. Therefore, you have to wait until the tap water is filtered to dispense, even though there is some already filtered water available. Unlike the pitcher dispensers, this 40 Cup Glass Dispenser allows you to filter more water while you dispense.

The water tastes great! 40 cups is a lot of water (it does not fit in the refrigerator)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Big size, it is glass. The only thing I will upgrade is the faucet to a stainless steel.

Quality, but room for improvement.

Very pleased with the glass and metal construction. As another reviewer noted, the plastic spigot was a disappointment, but we replaced with a $12 stainless spigot. The spigot could definitely be much lower, since the base raises the tank up. We positioned ours by the sink and it is easy to keep filled. All in all, another fine product from Zero Water.

Plastic base instead of stainless steel
on December 10, 2020
Posted by: adrift_in_nola
Length of ownership:1 week
I was sold on this pricey dispenser due to the description of a sleek stainless steel base, and I specifically upgraded from the smaller version in order to avoid plastic. I just received my 40-cup water dispenser, and it has a *plastic* base. I'm so perturbed. I hope the company will rectify this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sorry to hear of the issue with your dispenser. I was unaware of any changes made to the base of this dispenser. Please send a photo of the base to my attention, (Josh), at customerservice@zerowater.com so I can get to our Quality Control team.

Awful! Plastic water basket gets moldy quickly. I bought a second one and the same thing is happening.

We are sorry to hear about the issue with your dispenser, it may help if you make sure that the dispenser is not sitting in direct sunlight. Also, we do recommend cleaning the unit on a very regular basis. Even if it is just the upper plastic reservoir, it is best to clean the unit thoroughly at least once every couple of weeks. If you continue to have issues with this problem you can certainly give us a call and we will be happy to send out a replacement if necessary. 1-800-503-2939

Highest Form and Function in One Unit!

Whether on your kitchen countertop or the corner of your high-end espresso bar, this beautiful glass and chrome setup makes a bold statement. You already know ZeroWater filters are the best, so why not have the largest capacity container available to ALWAYS have enough fresh, delicious pure water on hand for coffee, tea, sports drink mixes or just water by itself? Like others, I think the high quality of this dispenser could certainly be better with a higher-end material spout, but it does WORK perfectly. Guests always marvel at how good our coffee tastes and when they see this next to our brew-grinder they have their answer. Sure, ZeroWater filters cost more, but there is something to be said about having the purest, healthiest water entering your body versus all of the other inferior brands. Buy your filters in the 16-pack or 12-pack for the best value and with this dispenser, I promise you smile knowing you have the very best for yourself and your loved ones!

I upgraded from the 30-cup to the 40-cup dispenser because the larger one is also much more elegant. The glass and chrome, as opposed to plastic, canister really sparkles on the kitchen counter. It is taller and circular so I think it actually takes up less space but it's not significantly different.
The only issue I have is that the dispenser spout, while it IS easier to use than the old one, is pretty slow. I think I might have a partial blockage so I am trying to get a replacement valve.
