We're ditching our Berkey Water Filters | Best replacement for Berkey filters

Editorial Summary

The creators explain their decision to stop using Berkey water filters in favor of Pro One filters. They detail several frustrations with the Berkey system, including the expensive cost of replacement filters, the difficult priming process required when filters are not used frequently, and the lack of NSF certification. They also mention experiencing filter failures during red dye tests. To find a replacement, they researched gravity feed systems and selected Pro One filters because they are compatible with their existing stainless steel Berkey units. The creators highlight that the Pro One filters are NSF certified, remove more contaminants, include fluoride removal at a lower price point, and are made of ceramic. They conduct a side by side filtration speed test, demonstrating that the Pro One filters complete the process in 42 minutes compared to over two hours for the Berkey filters. After a taste test, they conclude that the water quality is excellent and that the switch offers significant advantages in speed, cost, and ease of use.
