So, the two places we live have awful water. Our dog won’t even drink it. It’s sad because when I was a kid, we drank water from the hose—good clean water. But as the years have passed, water has gotten progressively worse. Anyway, we bought a Berkey and enjoy the kind of water we remember. We have both their regular filter and their fluoride filter. We don’t buy bottled water. We’re convinced if the shit hits the fan we can filter just about any kind of water through it except sea water. We use it for coffee, cooking, etc. We’ve already paid for it by not buying bottled. You couldn’t pay me to drink the water in Florida or NY. If this makes me a Karen, I could give two craps. It’s part of our prepping.
