Esoteric :
The Berkey has fluoride filter screwed into it.
No, no shower filter or other filters.
Now at my Ranch in PA we have a big ass POEntry multi filter system, because the well water has naturally occuring high Arsenic levels. Like 19 ppb. Dumb fk's who lived there before us had been drinking it for years!
Yeah, no water, no cocktails!
Quoting: KarinZa Thanks, KarinZa!
My home was built circa 1835-37, possibly earlier. The original kitchen was in the basement.
The water pipes for the 'updated' kitchens in my house are all embedded in the wall, with shut-off valves in the basement directly beneath them, so I can't install an undersink model in my main kitchen.
Since I have a free-standing double basin farm sink, there's no counter in that area. This is why a Berkey looks perfect.
I would get a whole-house filter, but, my water line is a conundrum. It enters the house at ground level, pitches until it's 8" off the basement floor as it runs on top of an embankment, then hugs a tight corner before running cross the ceiling where it finally branches out to kitchens, baths, and, old dead-end service lines.
I need to figure out WHERE to place one of these rather huge whole-house systems without paying a plumber to reroute my service line, while retaining a floor-plan that's taken some 180 years to develop almost to perfection.

Sorry, Nate and friends, for diverting this thread a bit.
