I got a 6 litre Berkey which takes 2x Super Sterasyl ceramic filters. Personally Im very happy. It is very slow to filter, but once you get used to using it daily, learn when to top it off, and build a rhythm, then this stops being an issue as there is always filtered water there to use. Obviously the above is conditional on you getting the correct capacity, and the standard advice is "get the biggest one you can". 6 litres is working out fine for me as a single man, who uses a lot of filtered water. I usually throw a couple of litres in last thing at night, and a couple first thing in the morning, and I always have sufficient water ready to go. I have scrubbed my filters, and totally cleaned my berkey three times now, and its still working perfectly, and I can taste the difference between filtered and unfiltered tap water. Probably time for new filters though. Top tip, keep your old filters. Scrub them, clean them, possibly spray with vinegar and wash them again. Then dry them and store them away marked as "used". In the event that something catastrophic takes place, and your water supply is heavily contaminated, you can use the old filters and a couple of buckets to improvise a pre-filter. That way you wont have to run river water or "brown" water through your precious berkey, which will wear out your filters very rapidly. Use the pre-filter to take out most of the crap, then run this water through the berkey.

Use a Millbank bag first

Very good video! Just bought a RainFresh 2 stage under sink filter system with a ceramic filter, put it all together, turned on the water, there was a big bang from the filter and the jar went cloudy. I let it run for a bit but the water tasted like sand so I took the whole thing apart and found the bottom of the ceramic filter blew clean off. I bought another filter, VERY CAREFULLY installed it and VERY SLOWLY turned on the water and it’s good now! These things are extremely fragile and break like nothing!

This was fantastic, thanks for making the video.

Helped a lot in my research. Thanks!

Great Tutorial!

Very informative, thank you!

Thank you! Can you also explain the flow of water in the DOE filter such as the Doulton Ceramic Ultracarb?

Thank u it was real helpful !!

Well explained. Thanks

so helpful thankyou!

nice explained

Very informative. Thanks... I had Entomeoba Hystolica parasites last months and disenteria. So i can trust ceramic filters about removing bacterias an parasites?

Love my Doulton!

Excellent. Thank you :)

Nice video. My newly acquired ceramic filter gives off a ceramic/clay or earthlike taste in the water. Any solution to this will be appreciated

I have 2 stage filtration installed, sediment filter and carbon. Would it be practical and advisable to add ceramic filter before these 2 filters to make them last longer and filter better?

Which is better filtration to remove salt and other things mixed in water

My ceramic filter gets dirt So fast it looks brow witthin a week is it safe to run water ober it when its like that

How much tds level water can be cleaned using ceramic filters???

without the carbon filter, ceramic will get rid of chemicals or just living organisms?

To get my water tasting better I run our Berkfeld gravity feed into the Zero water jug. The Zero water filters don't last long but it tastes better than bottled water and may work out cheaper as we no longer buy any bottled water including the more expensive sparkling.

How much it needed to fill 10 ltr water kindly know me

When you see Americans talking about ceramic filters which they have been using for decades until Americans say RO is best and marketing.

For City water, can I put two water filters before a water softener? A sediment & then a carbon, to protect the water softener, or will that restrict flow too much? I wanted to then have the line then split to a R/O line & the regular line, & put a carbon on the water regular line going to the showers & sink. Concerned about water drop flow rate with 3, 4 filters

Ceramic Candles Side effects in body. Yes or no

The water in my town is super hard and this filtration system didn't completely got rid of all the salts and minerals, but I started boiling it before filtering. Boiling and cooling the water makes minerals precipitate into bigger particles that are caught by the ceramic.

These filters leave the minerals in the water. If you want 100% pure water get a water distiller.

so this filter doesn't need to prime? like carbon ones?

Will a ceramic filter remove fluoride?

No it won't. Since he said it doesn't touch inorganic dissolved solids. 🙄

Depends which one you buy. Propur does. Berkey you have to pay for extra fluoride filters.
