                                Consumer Reports.  In our lab tests, Water Filter Pitchers
                                models like the ZD-012-RP are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
                                listed below.
                            
                                                        
                                Flavor and Odor Reduction:
                                A high score means the filter effectively reduces unwanted flavors and odors in water. A top-scoring model provides cleaner, fresher-tasting water with minimal off-putting smells.
                            
                                                        
                                Flow rate:
                                A high score means the filter allows water to flow quickly and efficiently. A top-scoring pitcher filters water rapidly, reducing wait time, while other types maintain normal flow, making it easier to get filtered water for drinking and kitchen tasks.
                            
                                                        
                                Clogging:
                                A high score means the filter maintains a steady flow rate over its lifespan. A top-scoring model is less likely to slow down before the cartridge is due for replacement, making it easier to use for longer. However, your water quality may affect performance.
