I really need replacement filters for my Berkey. I have been waiting over 6 months for them to become available again.
I use a 4" x 40" agricultural reverse osmosis filter.
If you have good water pressure it will push the water through. Great for watering house plants.

40 x 4 reverse osmosis
Consider getting a water distiller (for use while electricity is available, of course). I keep my Berkey around for when the power goes out for more than a few days, but the distiller removes all the dissolved minerals that our water has WAY too much of, and we get plenty of the right minerals in our food and supplements, so don't need the overdose of them in our water. The pure distilled water also tastes terrific.
My understanding is that we want minerals in our water. Distilled water will pull minerals from your body.
You do need minerals, and during most of our time on Earth, we got most of our minerals from water in the streams and lakes. You do get minerals from food also, of course (read labels). But if you take mineral supplements, you get specific kinds and amounts of the minerals you WANT and not other minerals that you don't want, don't need, and in some cases shouldn't be ingesting at all. If you take minerals as part of your supplement regimen, you don't need minerals in your water. (If you DON'T get minerals from SOMEWHERE, then distilled water isn't the way to go). We've been drinking distilled water for decades, our health is good and our bi-annual blood tests show we have appropriate levels of minerals in our bodies.
I could be wrong , but. You can sand the outside and have a functioning filter.
Thanks for this info!

Not sure if Boroux bought Berkey tech or not but these are relatively new - as of when these lawsuits against Berkey started - and are compatible with existing Berkey systems.
It makes me wonder who really wants to take down Berkey and why. A competitor maybe? Which probably leads right back to someone in the government.
Thanks! Great information.
