  I made another video to test these even further with some really interesting contaminants. When you’re done with this one, check it out! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMfQMPxR1n0">https://youtu.be/cMfQMPxR1n0?si=yJUmnnW15TjiQv2x</a>

  They say to filter pond/creek/river water thru a tshirt first, get the chunks and debris out. Then thru the Berkey.

  Thanks for the time and effort to make this video available to us. &nbsp;I&apos;ve been retired for quite a few years so my knowledge on this topic may be &quot;old school&quot; to many of you. &nbsp;My profession was environmental chemistry and water pollution control systems design. &nbsp;In all of the reviews I have read here on youtube the creator of the video focuses on the brand name of the filtration device as though it is the most important part of the testing. &nbsp;In most cases, the manufacturer of these filtration units simply makes two metal cans that fit together, a lid, a spigot or faucet, and fittings to attach the filter(s). &nbsp;The actual filters are usually made by another company and sold to the device company to be installed in their product. &nbsp;In many cases the actual filters are all manufactured by the same company and installed in several different brands of filtration units. &nbsp;That&apos;s why the same filters can usually be installed in different brands. &nbsp;So the &quot;tin can&quot; that sits on the counter and looks nice and shiny plays absolutely no part in removing contaminants from the water no mater what brand name is displayed. &nbsp;I&apos;m sure many of you already know this but some of the questions and comments indicate that this is not true for everyone. 😊

  Thanks for sharing. I&apos;d love to see a test done using East Palestine, Ohio water. 🙂

  Even in a survival situatio, anyone who could would &apos;rough filter&apos; pond water through a bandana if nothing else, before putting it through a water filter. &nbsp;Part of survival is using your head to make your resources last longer.

  I noticed that one unit had more than one filter cartridge in it. That will filter water faster than a unit with a single cartridge filter. <br>If you are in a hurry then you might order a unit that takes two or more cartridges. <br>I top my tank off in the evening so I have a full tank in the morning.<br>Then in the morning i pour a quart in the top before I draw off a quart from the bottom.<br>Water comes out faster from a full tank than it does when the water level starts to get low.<br>Thanks for the video

  Thank you for this. Years ago, before I know what I know now, I bought an Alexa Pure. So glad I did not buy a Berky.

  Berkefeld is also a good make.

  I live on rain water and use my pond during dry times... Berkey is the only filter I trust.. They are not the same, especially the Amazon specials.. Chinese knock offs can&apos;t filter what berkey does especially over time
