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.
