are the ceramic filters better than using carbon or activated charcoal , also could i add a spicket and put it on my counter?

[sunfloweroutdoor]

@stephenzenaida The Doulton Supersterasyl candle filters we sell are ceramic over activated charcoal. The ceramic filters are nice because they can be cleaned over and over. You can add a spigot to the side of your bucket for convenience.

Will a ceramic filter take out for example any chemicals that might be in rain water?

[sunfloweroutdoor]

@Twisted86 The Doulton filters remove pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents, trihalomethanes and Chlorine.

does it remove fluoride?

[sunfloweroutdoor]

@patriotpioneer You need a filter specifically for flouride. Activated alumina cartridges and reverse osmosis membrane filtration systems are the two effective methods for removing fluoride from drinking water

@thiscreepingmalaise in the middle of the lid of the bottom bucket ...........

[thiscreepingmalaise]

If you just drill a 1/2 inch hole in the bottom of the top bucket and a 1/2 inch hole in the middle of the bottom bucket you can stick the threaded part of the filter thru both and attach the nut for a secure transfer. Then drill a 3/4 inch hole 1 inch from the bottom and add a spigot. Wah-lah!!

@patriotpioneer the black berkey filter removes 99.9% of flouride compared to the white ceramic filters remove only 90%. I think, I searched berkey white filter vs. black filter.
