Been told old ones can be scrubbed / sprayed out to prolong the life.
Not sprayed out. A fresh scotchbrite pad will clean the exterior of the filters. They say they're good for about 6000 gallons. And $160 is as good as I've seen lately. Bought mine at White Oak Trail online. I asked and they gave me a 5% discount for being a vet.Been told old ones can be scrubbed / sprayed out to prolong the life.
Have you guys seen or heard anything like this?
youtube search: "WARNING! Berkey JUST Got BUSTED! • DON'T BUY A BERKEY Water Filter! • SCAM!"
Apparently Berkey isn't quite the quality name I once thought it was.
Basically Berkey filters had zero certified tests done and had zero official qualifications from any organization to make the claims they did on their filters. Their name is now mud from what I'm reading.Video is gone how about a summary? Mine has been good to me so far
Only way to really know is to take water from a berkey and something that passed those certifications and then do some tests to see what's in the water. Personally, I think if I owned the Berkey business I'd be making sure what I was selling had the certifications. They sell a premium priced product so they don't have much of a leg to stand on saying that it's too expensive to get the certs. Just my two cents.At the end of the day, who do we believe?
So I can see this from two different ways.Maybe Berkey has been selling us on "feel good" for a while?
