Is the Rumor That the Manufacturer of Berkey Water Filters is Going Out of Business and Closing its Doors True?

Dan DeBaun. you/Berkey should really engage your customers in this lawsuit. expand it to a target class action for all us water conscious humans. In my line of work -construction/building we constantly fight & WIN govt overreach. Few folks pay any attention to their oppressive govt. until it is too late. create a website for customer support, testimony, affidavits etc. My husband is fighting a health condition caused by incompetent medical "care" rather experimentation without consent.. --i have kept him alive & functioning well past his life "expectancy" of less than 10 years --thank you Berkey for a hand in that. have you reached out to these folks? https://ij.org/

Hello, I’m really confused. I just bought The Big Berkey. It arrived a few days ago with the filters included. I ordered it from a site called MYBERKEY. Are you one and the same? Or did I not order a real Berkey, and just a knock off? …just that after reading all of these comments about the EPA dispute and how no one can order a Berkey filtering system or the filters, not sure how I was able to receive one??? Can u please reply? Thank you very much.

The fact that the Environmental "Protection" Agency is going after Berkey Filters simply demonstrates that the agency has been given too much power, and as we know, too much power corrupts. Perhaps the EPA should be put through a corruption filter which would remove certain individuals. Could you guys design one? This could be useful for other agencies as well!

I'm glad to hear that New Millennium Concepts is fighting this. Besides many of the other water filter products, silver is also used in several health products, and if this is allowed to go down, then they're next. We could all stand to lose a lot more than our favorite water filter. I would also like to know how we could help.

We've had our Berkey system since 2021 and still use the original filters. We clean the filters and system every 3 months and do the red dye test. We LOVE the system (just hubby and me plus 2 dogs). That said, referencing an antigovernment, Matt Gaetz-supporting, "Covid is a hoax" mentality is very off-putting. All I care about for my water filter system: 1) does it work (data supported), 2) is the system going to last. Hopefully there is a resolution soon.

I'm sorry to hear this is going on. Our government never fails in overstepping their boundaries and abusing their appointed power.

It makes no sense that they can literally dump chlorine, bromine, and fluoride into our water and call it "safe" to drink, but then turn around and say that the limited amount of silver in the filters are a pesticide and unsafe.

I know you can't speak to the details of the case, but just know lots of people believe in your product and are supporting you in spirit, if that helps!

I’m so glad I realized what was about to happen and stocked up on filters at the beginning of this. I hope it’s resolved soon. Just bought a new system for my daughter. I taught her how to clean the filters and test them with red dye to keep them going as long as possible.

You know you’re making real change when this government comes after you. Many of us have realized that they aren’t there to actually protect the public.

It's Matt Gaetz from Florida....can't say I agree with him on much, but I'm glad he's fighting for this. There don't seem to be any authentic filters in stock anymore, however....

They should just put the warning label on it, along with a “lol look what the EPA is making us do just because the filters contain anti microbial silver in them!”

I have looked at your site and the black berkey filters are out of stock, why is it saying here that you can still buy them?

Becky is a great company & there filtration system is bar none . The EPA are a corrupt entity & a government overreaching arm of the leftist progressives ( namely Obama ) which gave the EPA the power to push for their ridiculous progressive policies ! The EPA should be abolished.

First, Matt’s last name is not Gates. Second, people should be very concerned that the US Government does not want us to be able to continue removing viruses from our municipal water supply after successfully doing so for over 25 years. The only reason I can come up with is not a good look for our masters. Thank goodness I’ve been paying attention and bought my spare filters right after the lawsuit was filed. The people buying alternative filters are going to be mighty dissapointed…

I just checked the Berkey website for black replacement filters. They are out of stock and you can only be put on a wait list. Not sure why on Feb 15, Dan said they are still in stock on the website? Is there another website I should be checking?

So sorry to hear this is going on. Please let the Berkey community help with a petition or ???. Today is 2/17/24, I the website indicates the Black filters are out of stock. Can the white filters substitute? Are the white ceramic filters going to have the same problem?

ironic considering the fraud the govt has committed on the world with assurances getting a covid vax is good for you and society when it is the exact opposite.

So the Berkey filters website shut down but you’re saying the Berkey brand is still alive and well. Where do I buy replacement filters?

I bought sets of Black Berkey Filters with fluoride filters in about 2010, and am ready to replenish my supplies. I have heard and read many comments pro and con about the Berkey filters in the last year or two. One reports said the filters were no longer functioning to the advrtised standards, another that some companies have begun to manufacture inefficient knock-offs and marketing them as Black Berkeys, and the ridiculous stance that the EPA has taken. I also noted that the filtration test results you have published on your website are now well over 10 years old. Do you, particularly in view of the bad pess from knock-off filters, have plans to test your current supply of Black Berkey filters with another nationally certified lab? (I thought you might appreciate knowing that a top rated food chemistry lab recently did extensive testing with an array of water filters to determine which of them would filter out cesium, a heavy metal commonly assiciated with nuclear fall-out from fission nuclear reactions. He has stated that he was having difficulty locating an offical Berkey water filter distributor, and was hesitant to include the Berkey results, which were in the highest percentile of effectiveness with filtering cesium, for permission to include his Berkey results in his offical announcement of his findings. He further commented that he had until recently included Berkey filters in his sales catalog, abut he could not longer finda supplier. His name is Mike Adams. He can be reached on line via the Health Ranger Store, where he markets products that pass his exemplary stringent standards for food and chemical purity.)
Lastly, I have heard of a U.S. legislator named Matt Gaetz from a Western state.
who has become quite a champion of businesses and professionals maligned by federal eniities. Is this the Matt Gates that you referred to in your blog post? Thank you for choosing to prevail during these challenging times when the Berkey stadard can mean so much to our survival!

Kept us alive: When we found a 6mo Maltipoo, the vet said to put her down, her organs weren't working properly. We disagreed & never saw that vet again. Holistic Vet & Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, supplements, food therapy, AND water from our Black Berkey gave us 15 yrs with her. The best 15 yrs of our life. Couldn't have done it without our Berkey. Shame on the EPA. What can we do to help? Please advise.

Why not just carry the warning label with an extra explanation from the company AND keep manufacturing and selling? Berkey already has a huge loyal base and reputation. Everybody will know the dumb EPA label is just a formality. Their customers are being punished.

Begging for filters when can I purchase some

Is there anything we can do to help? Write to the EPA? Is there a link to the proceeding number where we can leave a comment?

I'm confused. I purchased a Berkey system and it has performed so well that other family members want to buy one. I went on the berkeyfilters.com site to send them a link to purchase a Berkey system and it said Berkey is going out of business. I was shocked and saddened. Now you're saying that's not right and berkeyfilters.com is not an authorized dealer? Who IS an authorized dealer? I looked on this site and can't find any one. Please help!

The fact that this is happening is a sign that you’re making real change in the world. Sad ( but not surprising ) to see that the powers that be are trying to stop you…keep up the fight for clean, water , brothers and sisters and please come back soon.

Just saying that I am team Berkey and I am disappointed that once partners are now competitors and trying to disgrace Berkey. This customer is staying put and affirming a positive outcome for Berkey.

If the company doesn’t get anywhere in court, will you continue to sell the filters and systems using this ridiculous label? Understanding it’s not ideal, and wondering what can be done with an expensive water filter, that I can’t purchase replacement parts for.

If I can't buy replacment filters. What is coming with a new system?

The EPA is corrupt.

I'm glad to hear that Berkey is not going out of business. Does the Supreme Court Chevron decision help expedite the process? I thought it would be a no brainer since the EPA is clearly overreaching here

I just heard about this. The same EPA who won't say anything bad about glyphosate that gives cancer to so many people. This is ridiculous.
I've put our name on the list for when we can buy the real Berkey filters again. We live in a heavy pesticide use area, and i rely on Berkey. I don't want substitutes.

I hope Berkey wont change their product to compromise with the government. Its great! Dont change a thing please! If they are going after Berkey that means you guys are the only good ones. Keep fighting and I will keep buying only from Berkey!!

Hi, is there a date set on when the appeals court will have their final say on your lawsuit/appeal? Do you think it will be this year that they will make a decision? We are dragging our feet in possibly buying a new water filtering system, but keep putting it off bc we want our Berkey... :(

Hi, do the black filters fit all of the Berkey water filters? I have the Big Berkey

I love my Berkey filter and do not care about what kind of label you have to place on it. I am happy to buy replacement cartridges with the pesticide label if that’s what you need to do to keep selling while you fight this.
