I'm gonna be the outlier here and say I don't trust the Berkey. There's a lot of smoke and mirrors there and when they won't submit their filters for testing in places that can be verified I don't trust them to filter the gross pond water I have that could be contaminated with agricultural chemicals and God knows what else.
Imo the search for a good SHTF water filter continues
I had a Berkey we used religiously a couple of years ago. Have since switched to various solutions from Sawyer, and would never go back. Night and Day taste and quality difference. I've used sawyer products with backyard pond water, to clear streams when hiking, to boil water advisories in home, and they've always worked, always tasted exactly the same each time. Amazing stuff. I no longer trust Berkey.
