    Thank you so much for these videos, you just saved me a lot of money (and potential exposure to contaminants) as I was about to purchase the Berkey replacement/compatible filters to go into my home-made gravity flow filtration system.

    Thank you for following up with your 1st video and taking so much time out of your day to inform those who want the information. You've done great at providing where you've obtained you're info. I greatly appreciate it. Berkey lost votes with me way back when I had been researching filtering. Now I see my gut was right after following your info provided m. Zero is down on my trust list, but not out yet, though close. Trust is very hard these days because there's so much dishonesty today. It seems the value of life is worth nothing. It is written in the Bible love will grow cold (partly because of this). All these big techs seem to want to do is make a lot of money very fast before caught and/or then change their name to some LLC, or be merged in with another so the nonsense can continue but new and improved, etc. I have been researching for years. It's like you have to choose between the lesser of 2 evils. That makes it difficult when you see through their lies. It is sad how things have become, all in the name of money.

    I learned 8 month's ago about the Berkey that fluoride was not filtered. (one of the main reasons i would filter) i just had it not even a year. I even made my neighbor buy one! From the ones that were mentioned in a test that filtered it out to 99% I chose clearly filtered. I also like that it is no longer such a big hassle to clean like the Berkey is. However i would like to stay informed about repurposing the cans of the Berkey, but i could not figure out which link that is.

He found that the filters that address Fluoride, actually put high levels of aluminum in the water, and tested pretty well for the black elements, but I think they only went out to 50 gallons (he sent water samples into a lab).

    That's interesting. I watched the first one and I've watched this one now. I don't remember you ever mentioning what was the catalyst for you to dive so deep. It sounds as though purchased one or some of the products so there had to be some level of trust initially and then something happened to make you really dig your heals in. Could you share that with us? Monthly emails and then a more aggressive email schedule is a really strong approach. I have a berkey and haven't had issues or felt as though I've been wronged by them. I struggle trusting some of these certification programs as you have to pay them to certify your product. I've personally seen how the "Organic" certification works and it's not good enough for me. Essentially if I pay enough money to an organization the will certify anything. I pray the Lords will over you and your families life.

    • @unnamed2737
      @unnamed2737 2 роки тому +2

      His whole issue was they don’t have certification (I’m with you on this though as I also understand the shady crap that happens, especially with organic certification which is almost meaningless now days), and that berkey didn’t test to the gallons they claim (I think 3000) and instead only tested to 50 and used those results to estimate the total life of the filter to 3000.
      I love my berkey but since I don’t keep up with counting gallons anyway, it’s probably best for us to test our water once a year anyway as a precaution. I think these vids were deliberately click bait. If you just understand the industry and use a little common sense it’s no big deal.

    Someone mentioned Royal Doulton in the comments. When I looked into these yrs ago RD uses porcelein filters with interior "bubbles". NOT Activated Charcoal. It seems they're all glorified Brita jugs now if that but charging $$$.

If you do future uploads, can you please try to make your sound/audio ‘volume’ levels, louder. because, for me, I watch tons of youtube, and I can hear almost everyone, except on rare occasions, and for some reason, your volume, even when I turn ‘up’ as loud as possible on my end, I can barely hear you. So if you can record a cpl/few notches louder, that’d be great. We can alway turn ‘quieter’ on our end, If is too, loud. I think you may be talking quiet, so as not to disturb hose around you, or perhaps you’re just a “softer, quieter” speaker, idk. But, I wouldn’t ask, but I’m struggling to be able to hear.
