How is this a 19 dollar project, when the filters cost 95 dollars each?

[ianskelley]

@asorita1 Yeah..I should probably clarify the title....$19 for the filter containers. You would pay about $150 for these containers at Berkeyfilters

I think you're supposed to remove those stickers on the pf-2 that says "flow ->"

[ianskelley]

@spamllpitdept Thanks for letting me know....I didn't realize those were stickers.

you should use glass containers instead of those plastic ones that actually poison the water, all hard plastics, especially those of water and children toys etc tend to lose their chemical structure and therefore poisoning the water.

It would be helpful if you would provide a drawing of the INTERNALS of your setup.

You have given us some great ideas here.

I will modify some stainless steel beer kegs I have to make the Big Berkey Supreme Leader ... fitted out with Berkey fluoride filters.

Australians and the environment are being poisoned by state government legislation mandating fluoridation of municipal water supplies.

Mount Isa in Queensland state is due to get this poison in June 2012.
