Hi thanks for watching, great question. No, the Berkey and Waterdrop filters are not the same - however Waterdrop claims theirs are compatible and can be used in a Berkey vessel. The EPA's lawsuit against New Millennium Concepts (Berkey manufacturer) which instigated the stop-sale order is based on the company's failure to comply with federal regulations under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

I already own a PUR filtered water dispenser, so I figured that would do the job. I used the PUR Plus filter. It removed the smell, but the water does not taste that great. I did the filter prep of soaking in water. Any advice for filtering well water?
@waterfilterguru
Ай бұрын
Hey thanks for the questions! Water that smells like eggs typically indicates the presence of hydrogen sulfide. Well water can be tricky and more complicated to treat than city water. Well water treatment typically involves complex, point of entry (whole home) systems, with the addition of a point of use filter for drinking water (RO more often than not). Of course this all depends on the contaminants present. Are you the owner of the home/ well? As a first step, I'd recommend getting a full lab analysis of the water. I've explained the entire process of how to choose the proper water treatment equipment based on testing data in this video kzitem.info/news/bejne/q4tq2YSbq2NqZ2k alternatively, I also offer consulting services to help folks navigate complex water quality issues.

Hi thank you for all the information its very much needed for the public. Your great! I have a 70 foot deep well untreated water. Its very clean good tasting and doesnt smell. I like the thought of getting 100% of contaminants out of water with reverse osmosis but didnt like that you have to remineralize with a filter or drops because its like putting a man made vitamin back into water. How do you feel about that? Pro one filter seems more natural because it keeps the good minerals while getting most contaminants out. Which do you think would better for me to use daily to filter water?

Distillers are all essentially the same. You might prefer one that catches the water in a glass vessel, like the Pure Water MINI geni.us/t95C5vJ The drawback with distillation is that it takes a long time to distill a relatively small volume of water, 6-8 hours on average just for one gallon. Also make sure the model you buy has an activated carbon filter to catch and VOCs that may evaporate with the water

I love your KZitem reviews and your website info is second to none. I would appreciate and love to see a water test and comparison on the ZAZEN bench-top water filter and the Waters co BIO 500 bench-top water filter. These water filters are highly priced products in the Australian market. They use proprietary ingredients not found in other water filters and it is impossible to find third party lab tested reviews on them. I am in Australia and I don't know if these water filters are available in America. I would really appreciate it if you could try to make this happen and would be happy to assist if I can. Waters co also make a range of pitchers with their proprietary filters and I would love to know if the claims they make about their products hold up, as they are expensive and have ingredients not found in other water filters. Which is kind of weird and I would not be surprised if some strange elements came out of the water that was not there when it went in to the filter. On a side note my municipal water seems fine from looking at the annual reports but I am concerned about fluoride, chloramines, micro-plastics and PFAS as these have found recently in our municipal water. I do not have a water filter currently and have been thinking I would like to have a pitcher as I live alone, a big gravity system seems like hard work and I have a tiny kitchen in a tiny rental and do not want to plumb anything. Are there any pitchers in the market you would recommend for me. Looking forward to your response Mike

Hey thanks for the comment! I've not heard of either of those systems - probably because they are only sold in the Australian market. I'll look into them and see.

I've explained the entire process in this video kzitem.info/news/bejne/q4tq2YSbq2NqZ2k While the city water report is a good start, it won't provide the full picture of the water quality in the home, which can contain additional contaminants imparted by the distribution system or home's plumbing.

Typically iron is treated at the point of entry with a whole house water filter. That said, some point of use filters will reduce iron. You can always check the spec sheet of the system you are interested in, which should indicate if iron is one of the contaminants it's been tested and/or certified to reduce. Reverse osmosis systems like the Aquatru and RKIN U1 in this video will reduce both ferrous and ferric iron.

A countertop reverse osmosis system like the Aquatru geni.us/chlQv5o will provide similar water quality to the bottled water your used to drinking (most bottled water is treated with reverse osmosis) - and RO will reduce the sodium chloride (salt) added to the water by the softener. Additionally RO provides the most broad overall contaminant reduction, so that would be my recommendation

@waterfilterguru
Ай бұрын
Great question! Remineralizing reverse osmosis water is generally considered safe. There are numerous methods, but of course the minerals that are added back in depend on the method and media used. Remineralization typically involves the use of naturally occurring compounds (like calcite, for example). As for the well water - just because the water is clear with no taste or smell does not mean it's clean and safe. The most nefarious contaminants in water are undetectable by human senses. This is why lab testing to determine the exact types and concentrations of contaminants is so vitally important - especially for private well owners. Have you had your water tested yet? I can help you determine exactly what water treatment equipment is needed for your specific situation. You can reach out about that here waterfilterguru.com/consulting/
