The Invisible Plague: Microplastics Now Contaminate Drinking Water
Dan DeBaun

We know that the berkey can filter down to 2 microns and less, so until testing is done, we can only state that the berkey would be filtering out more...

If Berkey’s recent test results show that the Black Berkey Purification Elements reduce Fluoride, then why do I need the Berkey PF-2 Post Filter Elements?
Dan DeBaun

The Black Berkey Elements efficiency at removing Fluoride likely plays out long before the 3,000-gallon life of the element and why the PF-2 fluoride filters would be required for continuous...
