Berkey Filter Comparison

http://www.morethanalive.com/Berkey_Water_Filters
We love our Berkey Water Filter. Berkeys need no electricity, no water pressure and the 2 filters that ship with them will purify up to 6,000 gallons. This video compares all the models in the Berkey line.

@MrTruthSeeka Berkey sells optional flouride removal filters (if you haven't discovered already" I recommend the addition to the black filters. I love my Berkey Lite!

What happens if you only want to use 2 filters instead of the possible 6? How do you seal the extra holes?

If the Berkeys are so great,why do the Black Berkey filters break off at the base of the Plastic?I purchased 4 black Berkey filters four months ago used all four in the container and always took good care of them.Now I cant seem to get an exchange for the three that broke loose from what appears to be Hot Glued together.Berkey is a waste of my time and money.What a Ripoff.

@NoMoreWarNoMore I also drink distilled water... I like the taste. But I am correct about the effects I mentioned above... of course I imagine you'd have to drink alot of it to cause a problem. In any case, I was simply responding to the concerns of the commenter above me... evilmeerkat007 who had mistakenly atributed these effects to purified water... instead of distilled.

Anyway it's all just an isidious international communist conspiracy to sap impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

@Golgafrinchamdent I have been drinking distiled water for years and I see no ill effects.The minerals you get from water is nominal,meaning the amounts are so minute that removing them makes little difference.If your body is leeching minerals from your bones as you claim then it is because of a poor diet.Its what the person is eating or not and not whats in the water they drink.

[Golgafrinchamdent]

@evilmeerkat007 It's not "purified" water that does that... it's "distilled" water. Distilled water doesn't have the beneficial minerals so the body leeches essential minerals from bones and muscles to compensate. Purified water retains those minerals so there's no concern here.

[evilmeerkat007]

If you drink too much pure water, it can kill you. Because of diffusion, too much pure water running through your blood stream can actually create a hypotonic environment compared to your cells and draw many important particles (things like ions and molecules) out. Needless to say, that can be a bad thing.

@jasonrothfeld There's a lot that those filters, like most typical retail filters, will not take out. And the filter on your refrigerator won't remove fluoride.

[MrTruthSeeka]

@jasonrothfeld does it filt the fluride?!?!

[LemmingHerda]

@jasonrothfeld people who buy these things are invariably preppers buying them for outdoor or emergency conditions.

They don't require any power and are easier to transport in an emergency/"bug-out" than your refridgerator.
