Berkey water Filter System
Posted on 5/31/22 at 12:20 am

ETA: Think this was the wrong board.
just bought one of these bad boys. Watched a YT video of some guy that bought the most expensive water filters across the country. Found that Berkey was not only the best, but one of the least expensive. Perfect for swamp water baws. They use these in the most 3rd world countries.
This thing can create perfect water from tap water, rivers, lakes, etc. the website lists all the lab studies and they are quite impressive. It’s about 400 bucks, but considering the money people spend on bottled water, you save in the long run, especially since bottled water can’t be trusted.
Here is some info:
https://www.berkeyfilters.com/
——————————
$387 with 2 Black Berkey Filters (standard configuration)
$547 with 4 Black Berkey Filters
Purification Speed
(Gallons Per Hour)
Up to 3.5 GPH with 2 Black Berkey Filters (standard configuration)
Up to 7.0 GPH with 4 Black Berkey Filters
Availability
Black Berkey Filters
Contaminants Removed: Two filter elements are included with the Big Berkey system. These have been tested to remove 203 contaminants commonly found in drinking water, including viruses (99.999%), pathogenic bacteria (99.9999%), Chloramine (below lab detectable limit), trihalomethanes (99.8%), pharmaceuticals (99.9%), pesticides (below lab detectable limit), heavy metals (view entire list of contaminants removed
Product Dimensions: 2.25 x 2.25 x 9.75 inches
Composition: Composition of carbon, containing high-grade coconut shell combined with a proprietary blend of 5 other media.
Certifications: State and EPA accredited laboratories have tested the filters to exceed NSF/ANSI Standard 531
Lifespan: 3,000 gallons per filter, 6000 for 2 (which comes with it
Full lab of contaminants, bacteria, harmful chemicals (chlorine, fluoride, etc). It’s in the link above:
They have the evidence from labs:
As a single, this will last 10-15 years. Check it out. Conspiracy theorists that think Covid (or snake venom in in the water), you now have protection!

It’s 11% off this weekend. Don’t have to replace filters for many many years. As a single. It will last a decade

You get hacked or something?

We have to replace ours about every 6 months. My biggest complaint is if you overfill the tank, which is easy since it has no fill line, the damn thing leaks all over the counter top. So I am hesitant to fill it since my wife usually does, the holding tank goes empty quite often.It does produce good tasting water

Naw, I’ve always had concerns about water in general. Nothing major. Someone showed me documents a few years ago and it was clear to every engineer and analyst they were doing whatever they could to keep the “problems” just below the line.
I actually think it’s a good investment. Read through the site and the lab results. 6000 gallons will last me for a very very long time.
I’ve recently gotten blood tests over the last 4 years and I think anything can help. Let’s be honest, everything we put in our body is trash. That’s why there is so much inflammation, which leads to more serious disease. I’ve certainly blown money on worst. It’s great for people that spend time outside and camp.
I will screen shot the lab results.

Are you talking about Berkey?

Yes, we've had one for 4 or 5 years.

The site even tells you what’s in your water in your area

Some lab results. Seems like the second one is important for your every day minion. Either way. With everyone prepping on their mind, seems like this would come in handy since it can clean essentially shite water. Take a look at the site. I was impressed, and I’m not impressed easily. They list the hundreds of crap it filters

I’ve come to the realization that our food, medication, and water are slowly killing us, causing inflammation, which leads to much serious disease like cancer. The trend since the 60’s hasn’t been good. We need to get back to the basics. JMO

How do you like it. Seems like a great thing for a cabin or camping. I’m going to use it in my house

Like I said, you get great tasting water. But I usually use the fridge filtered water which is almost as good.
