Berkey vs Reverse Osmosis vs Distiller...Experts, please help me!

and considering filter change costs for all three options of course

thank you

berkey is the best out of all of them

You can build a simple wood burning boiler with copper tubing feeding out of it. You cool the copperpipe with a damp cloth and cool breeze, cheap and works great after unit is built. Check out youtube for videos....

Classic American. Too lazy to educate themselves. Always need other people to tell them what to do and think.

Ive been researching this for a while. Just want experts' opinions.

thank you i will check it out

why do you think so

don't. you can't distill water with copper tubing, it will poison it. use inox.

(and yes, you can distill alcohol in copper tubing, without problems).

black berkey filters, or ceramic berkefeld filters, don't filter any fluoride or heavy metals out. you need the special add-ons for that (and they won't last 23000 liters, like a pair of black berkeys)

i BOUGHT ONE TWO YEARS AGO IT IS INCREDIBLE IT REMOVES ALL THE RADIATION FROM MY WATER I BOUGHT IT THROUGH AMAZON... I THINK THE WEB SITE IS 123FILTER.COM

HERE IS THE ONE I BOUGHT

Distilled water ain't that good for you over the long term.

Now add some mash to that and we got a party.

was it radiated water, or water with radioactive particulate?

radiated water can't be cleaned; water with radioactive particulate can only be cleaned by distilling, i think.

does anyone know whether a decent reverse osmosis setup can filter out radiactive particles?

Typical tard. Nothing to say never stops him from saying it anyway.



Berkey OP. Best of the best.

There is no such thing as "radioactive water", other than deuterium and tritium. Dissolved radioactive particles in water, yes.

get a $200 distiller on amazon. I did this, and it gets rid of fluoride unlike most with filters, and costs much less to operate.

so, one has a stable half-life, the other is some 12 years. is that water safe for consumption? most sources say that deuterium and tritium isn't a real problem, because the chemical composition of the water stays the same... please enlighten me :)

Bullshit, take a giger counter pour some tap water on a napkin then test the napkin... you will be amazed...

They EPA states right on its web site the only thing that can remove radioactive particles from drinking water is using both carbon charcoal filters with reverse osmosis... look it up

wrong look up greenville plutonium contamination in water supply

Distillation is the best...
RO will remove fluoride but is very expensive and the filters build up with bacteria.

Also there is the a very inexpensive filter called "zero water" that will remove virtually all of the fluoride and has a meter. that is a good place to start before you can afford a good distiller (500 bucks)

[link to www.zerowater.com] its 34 bucks

You should not drink RO or Distilled water without re mineralization first it not only is mineral dead but can remove minerals from your body on the way out.

so pure is bad huh LOL! i guess we shoul go out back and add some dirt to the purifird water, idiot

lol i guess you should go in the back yard and get a spoonful of dirt to make your water healthy. how they cna get people believing pure is bad is beyond my understanding...

Berkey must be good, cause California won't let them shipped there.

I almost bought a Berkeley then I read about all the problems if the glues on the filters coming apart after a few months. Seems to be an ongoing problem.

No purification such as berkey is not filtering really.
Real filtering removes everything from the water it is 100% clean but dead.
You can get an alkalizing filter to add to your RO filter they are cheap it puts the minerals back in it.
It makes it like the water that has dripped through rock like drips from the end of a Stalagmite.

Thanks for being a retard.

"leaves healthy minerals" what a joke, that is dirt. ...distilled water is the VERY BEST water period, next to Rain which is how god makes water. berky is a overpriced joke might as well use a cheap brita filter.

Had an RO unit in my last house and loved it. I bought a Krystal Pure and it was the best.

I'm using a Berkey with Black Filters and Heavy Metal Filters. I'm in a condo atm while I build my next house... it's ok. It'll do as a temporary solution.

Using an electronic particulate meter the RO water would test around 5-8 PPM (tap water around 800 PPM - very hard water). The Berkey tested around 110-120 PPM, but tap water is only around 150 PPM in this condo.

Hope that helps.

No its calcite you fucking moron rain has minerals in it brain farter if you RO or Distill it that takes the minerals out
