I just purchased a Berkey water filter and installed all the components and even tried conditioning them, but my water still continues to look very cloudy. What's wrong?

Could be because it is still a new component, Try emptying it out and starting again.

Hello,

I am thinking in buying a Big berkey filter to remove the chlorine, fluoride and other contaminates from the water. However, there isn't alot of info concerning this filter online. How does this filter compare to distilled filters? I know this filter won't increase the ph level of the water, but exactly what is the ph level of filtered water?
For those who have this filter do you recommend it?

Thanks

Filters of purifiers should not affect the PH balance of water. A distillery does.

Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Most water systems are simple filters. They improve taste and smell and little, if anything else. Purifiers also improve color and many health effects in water.

I have not heard of berkey myself. I would think that they would have their own web site. You can try different places on the net too.

www.consumerreports.com - though they charge a subscription fee.
www.wqa.org - Water Quality Association
www.nsf.com - National Sanitation Foundation International

If you only want to improve the taste then simply get the cheapest thing you can find. Like a Pur or Brita. If you want something to actually make the water safer then I always recommend eSpring. It is the highest rated system and has been used on Extreme Makeover, Home Edition.

Price: $275.00

I would like my water to be fluoride and heavy metal free.

I use a Britta pitcher with a filter, works fine.

Hey, I have a Sport Berkey and I'm not quite sure about maintenance and cleaning. The official brochure doesn't give much information. What do you do about the straw tip? I know that'll get gross after a while. Does the inside of the container ever get "slimy"? How long can I leave it filled up with water just sitting in it? Will the plastic from the container ever leach into the water and if it does can that get filtered out too?
Yeah, um... that link doesn't help at all. I've been there already. Nice try though.

I have a travel Berkey water filtration system. I put the filter away for a few months, and when I got it out again, a rust-colored, mildew-appearing substance had grown on the outside of the black filtration elements. What do I have to do to make them usable again, or should I buy new ones?

I would buy new ones. It's better to be safe....... :)
