I just lost my well pump and use my berkey to filter my lake water.
Works excellent
And mine will filter an Olympic swimming pool worth of water...
Cost 60 bucks 10 years ago.
Edit
Holy shit. I checked the berkey site and the 2.25 gal one i bought is 400 bucks now! That's insane!
And fyi, it takes many hours, nearly half to a fill day, to filter 2 gal.
Does Berkey do viruses also? Was looking at them but not sure
Yes. Essentially anything that can be filtered. Takes 4 to 6 hours to filter 2 gallons.
Heavy metals, bacteria, everything.
The lake water i filtered tasted completely neutral.
Bland actually, which is strange cause it's water lol. But there was nothing there.
All you have to do to kill bacteria and viruses is put the water in a clear plastic bottle and leave it in sunlight for 24 hours.

Get some of those large plastic bottles, fill them up, and let the sun do the work for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfection#/media/File:Indonesia-sodis-gross.jpg
