I just ordered a Berkey system, FJB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read that they may put a ceramic filter in the Berkeys temporarily. Is that what yours will have?
I believe the ceramic filters are white in color, mine comes with two black colored filters which I believe are the originals with the "pesticide"!! Also, the pair of filters that come with my unit are good for 6,000 gallons, I'm 72 years old and drink about 300 gallons per year so I'll be dead before it's time to buy new filters.
I hope you shoot for the whole 6,000 gallons over many happy years.
Thank you!
Mine (which I bought maybe 25 years ago) has ceramic filters (not the original ones, of course), but they have both charcoal and SILVER inside; the silver is the "pesticide" -- actually, an antibiotic.
Maybe they've been forced to remove that, IDK.
Thanks for the info. 👍
