you should run a total of x 10 tests. That way you have done a sizeable sample batch to conclude your results. It is a concern that the berkey effectively swops one problem ie flouride for another. Is the consumer any better off? Also high calcium readings in water is not that good on impact into human body!!

I'd recommend testing the water first!

We live next to a creek in Arizona that flows about 6 months out of the year. We run it through the Berkey and it tastes amazing. We certainly don't get 6000 galllons out of two filters but of course there's a lot of organic matter to deal with, way more than just using the tap. We have a well too, but it's got flouride at 4 ppm. I tried the Berkey fluoride filters, followed the directions just like you did, then ran several batches though and the water didn't taste good at all. After seeing your original video, I have to think that we also might have gotten got bad filters, or something went wrong, and the aluminum was leaching through. I agree, it's a bit of a design flaw because there's no way to tell without expensive testing, and we might just be trading fluoride for aluminum. I basically gave up on the the PF2 filters. If it weren't for the flouride, our well water is perfect. We've got RO for the well the under the kitchen sink so we drink that when the creek isn't running. As you know RO takes out just about everything, including fluoride. It doesn't taste bad, but doesn't taste as good as the Berkey'd creek water. I'm trying to figure out a way to pre-filter the creek water so I can get more life out of the black Berkey filters. Trying out two connected Pentair 2.5 x 10" housings, one with 1 micron cellulose, the next with 1 micron carbon block. Hoping this clears out a good chunk of the tannins, algae, and other organic matter prior to running the Berkey. Those Berkey filters are close to $200 a pair, when you can even get them. If you have any recs on cheaper Berkey knockoff filters or alternatives, please let us know. I once had a patient from Ajo, Arizona. I was looking in his mouth and he had the worst teeth I'd ever seen. Completely brown and rotted. When I asked him about it he said, "Ahh, them's Ajo teeth! Everybody in Ajo got teeth like that." Apparently the flouride level in Ajo is high (4 ppm, just like our well), and if you live there much of your life and drink the water the dental fluorosis can be quite severe as it was in this gentleman. Thanks for your great reviews. Really helpful. :)

Neither is all well water or flowing stream. Rain water has to be filtered. Instead of buying a gun. Buy a water filter. When you pass. At least people can use the filters on a daily basis and not just for protection. We need to bring back all the wood stoves and cast iron also. Good day!!!

I don't suppose you tested aluminium removal by the black filters without the fluoride filters in place?

@waterfilterguru

5 ай бұрын

Yes, see our first Berkey test kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4qOz7ywhNvUfcY.htmlsi=skxTsRGXhxFfJGZr&t=294 in the pond water test, we removed the PF2 fluoride filters and only used the Black Berkey filters. There was 0.04 PPM aluminum detected in the unfiltered pond water, and then 0.04 PPM aluminum still detected post filtration through the black filters.

Is there any water filtration system you recommend or use? Thanks

@waterfilterguru

It depends. There is no 'one size fits all' solution. It all depends on what contaminants are in the source water being filtered. What type of water are you trying to filter? Have you had it tested? Do you know what contaminants you are dealing with?

It depends. A countertop reverse osmosis system like the AquaTru (aquatru.pxf.io/b3WYGP) will provide the most broad contaminant reduction. But it can't be used with untreated surface water (ie. filtering river or lake water while camping). Check out the ProOne for use with untreated surface water (tinyurl.com/mr3zap7c)

Why do you want to remove magnesium? Isn't it a healthful mineral?

@waterfilterguru

Correct, the only reason to remove magnesium would be if you are dealing with elevated levels which are contributing to a limescale issue in the home

Help. The top half of my Berkey gravity filter system has developed 3 pin point leaks that by pass the installed filters. Can anyone recommend a method to 'plug' these leaks? It will have to be done from the inside as they reside at the junction of the top and bottom halves. I'm thinking a smear of epoxy maybe? Advise would be appreciated. It does not seem that Berkey sells these as replacement parts. I can no longer recommend the Berkey brand due to this (Stainless steel is not suppose to suffer these defects).
