Berkey Filters sues the EPA (August 9, 2023)
Berkey Filters files suit against the EPA this week, represented by Norred Law, to stop the EPA's treatment of water filters as a pesticide. Berkey has sold its filters for two decades, but a few months ago, the EPA has decided without notice to treat Berk...
Yeah I don't trust berkey
They are shit. RO is the only way to get rid of fluoride
That's not true - ZeroWater and some others do. See https://truthaboutfluoride.com for many reviews - the guy busts the ones that don't work.
We got rid of ours after a year of use.
I'm using ZeroWater and happy with it from so far, other than the filters sometimes quit flowing due to air bubbles (?!).
I have the same complaint lol. Some times I have to just fill it a little then knock it around a bit to get the air out so it flows properly.
I go from a brita to a zerowater to a Berkey just to keep the black charcoal Berkey elements in good shape as long as possible.
All the complaints about berkeys are related to two things: their white fluoride filters and the counterfeit Chinese black carbon filters. The genuine Berkey black element filters are legit, I've been using them for many years now. Don't believe the EPA nonsense. Genuine black carbon Berkeys filter out PFAS and vinyl chloride. I wish they filtered glyphosate better is my only complaint
I found on the EUROPEAN ZeroWater site better info on how to de-bubble the filter - you can squeeze it and the bubbles come right out the top, so just do that till it quits.
Re: issues with Berkey - see that link further up in this subthread (which is not the EPA). Apparently all is not well with them. Site seems trustworthy....
