My wife and I have been using berkey water filters for years. It seems like they are being sued for misleading claims. Is anyone out there confident in their water filtration systems? What are ya'll using?

Reverse osmosis is the only reliable filtration. Inefficient with water, as it only yields about 20 percent of the water and flows about 80% to the drain, but is effective in eliminating everything with a molecular weight greater than 18.
It is true. It is stripped of all minerals, calcium bicarbonate as well. In horticulture, when using RO water, we have to add back in calcium and magnesium. That 80% waste water can be used for other things though.
That's dead water, it'll leach minerals from your bones because there aren't any minerals in the water. That's what I've been told by a water guy.
Good ones are 50% efficient. The ones I'm looking at now are about 7k for the unit.
I run a distiller every night for our drinking water. Makes a gallon or so in a few hours.

RO is the way to go but can be expensive, require some extra space, and regular filter costs. U can go cheaper and get smaller rigs to use it in select areas ( drinking water, shower ) if u can't afford to do whole house.
At bare minimum get beefy multi layer filters for drinking and shower taps. Do not disregard showers. Your skin is a big sponge so it's just as important as drinking and food prep water. ANYTHING u put in AND ON your body u should research it. THEY KNOW these are our " ports " so they use these to deliver their potions.
Research as they differ widely and definitely test before and after to see if they do what they claim. U can get handheld water testers for relatively cheap ( they do not test for everything ), but lab test is obviously best.
It is the fluoride I think you should want to filter out first, unfortunately it is the hardest to do. Reverse Osmosis will nearly do it all for you. They want to calcify our pineal gland. U know the gland no one has ever heard of. Funny right ? Master conductor of our body's systems and believed to be the " Seat of the Soul " and our connection to God. Sure makes more sense why they want to kill it right ?

Also makes sense why they do not want us to have HCQ.

Get an R.O. With UV light . 100% covered
That's what I'm getting ready to do...whole house.
Smart
Also a CNG powered 22kW generator. As long as the natural gas keeps flowing, I'll be in good shape. On a well. Plus building raised bed gardens, a small orchard, and getting chickens.
How can I get down on this lawsuit? I spent an enormous amount of money on that system and now I hear they've been lying? Faggots.
Be sure the allegations are accurate..... Who filed the lawsuit?

I have an alexapure..the water tastes so much different than the berkey. I think there are lab analyses online and you can test the water too.
We use a Zero water pitcher
It allegedly filters out everything INCLUDING fluoride
The water tastes great
Perfect timing. I'm building a house and looking at putting in a whole house RO. I'm on well. If anyone has experience with whole house RO, I'm all ears.
Not really on topic but I was a lineman for many years and we would go out of town and work. When at the hotel I would go visit another lineman and crack a beer or two. When I would go to the bathroom I would unscrew the shower head and shove three or four beef bullion cubes up the pipe. Later when he took a shower brown weird tasting liquid would start flowing from the shower head. It is amazing how something can taste awful when you don’t know what it is and think it’s turd water. It’s a great practical joke.
I worked with a small water company who is extremely transparent and I got to learn about the systems the short time I was there. They use a KDF-55 (copper/platinum ore) that prolongs life of system and other filtration media, 25 lbs I believe. It kills everything so if a water boil was in effect you don't need to boil. Also a hybrid cocolytic (coconut and catalytic) carbon which is well balanced carbon filtration. There's a 10% resin as well (forgot specifics) made in Canada...the 8% is made in China. A natural quartz/garnet bed to reintroduce the proper amount of minerals back in. THEN there's a double alkaline filter at the kitchen sink.
