Great to see you follow the example of some doctors to practice self testing. Good job you used Berkefeld/Doulton filters that are actually made in England to very strict British manufacturing standards. But you knew that:)
Berkey is a scam. I have gone through 3 sets of filters in 3 years. All filters failed the red dye test after a year of use. The last email from berkey said I'm out of warranty and not their problem. Thank you for sharing your honest reviews of this scam product.
Hey there! I’m a fan of much of your stuff, work, effort (thanks for looking into things)! Safe/non toxic drinking water is so important and is a worthy goal to try to sort out, imo (in a portable, small-scale way and in a large-scale town, city or country). I remember reading a while ago that some water filters don’t remove viruses (or very small creatures n such, well), that you need to boil the filtered water to kill those kinds of things. Have you considered lab testing this product’s water for toxicants or any unwanted creatures n such (test what (if anything) can be found that was/is unexpected or unwanted)? I read above that you are going to make a follow up video on these filters, maybe you’ll talk about (specific or broad) testing there.. Either way, just something that came to mind after watching your video. Hope all goes well for y’all!
Thank you! Yes, you have to have a very fine/small filter to get viruses, or you have to kill/inactivate the viruses with some chemical or UV radiation. This Doulton filter does not filter out viruses. However, I'm in a temperate region where viruses are not as much of an issue - near the equator might be more of a problem. Sadly I don't have money to get a bunch of tests done, but the fact that I didn't get sick is a form of testing, and I passed the test!
Hey, thank for your videos I was ending up having the same conclusions about Berkey and most other brands Looking forward to watch your next videos, esp. why you recommend Doulton and AquaTru. What do you think of the Boroux brand?
Thanks! I think I’ll have my “why Doulton/Berkefeld” vid out in a couple of weeks. Aquatru might not be until later in the summer. Hard to say exactly with Boroux, but my best guess is it’s as undesirable as Berkey.
@@Robert-Beaty Thanks for the quick response! Did you go to the nsf website and filter companies by nsf certifications? I found the eSpring brand to be actually certified for some chemicals (lead, PFOAS, etc.) for 1320 gallons
Yes, I’ve looked at many of the filters that have official NSF certs. Can’t remember which, but one of my vid descriptions lists how to find official NSF certs. As for which water filter is best among all of the NSF certified ones, that’s a tough call that has take into account cost upfront and to maintain, contaminants you want to remove, where and when the filter will be used. There are lots and lots of good filters, but finding one that hits the sweet spot in the middle is tough and it’s a best guess on my part.
Doulton Ultra sterasyl doesn't filter fluoride though. And then their Ultra Fluoride filter isn't nsf certified. are you just accepting the fluoride in this case? fair enough seems like there's no perfect way here just wanna know
Berkey was one of Berkefeld’s distributors back in the day, but Berkey decided to peel off and do their own thing. And their own thing was to lower quality

Glad to see you back!!!
Thanks!
This information is so appreciated! I look forward to your video on why you chose the ones you did.
Thank you! my job keeps derailing video stuff, but I will post that video asap!

I’m sorry you had to suffer through Berkey. They are not good! Thank you for your comment!
the red dye test is almost as useless as TDS testing.

Do you know anything about epic water filters?
Do you trust these to filter tap water?
Literally just trusted a shot from a gator’s shithole…
