I got a 6 litre Berkey which takes 2x Super Sterasyl ceramic filters. Personally Im very happy. It is very slow to filter, but once you get used to using it daily, learn when to top it off, and build a rhythm, then this stops being an issue as there is always filtered water there to use. Obviously the above is conditional on you getting the correct capacity, and the standard advice is "get the biggest one you can". 6 litres is working out fine for me as a single man, who uses a lot of filtered water. I usually throw a couple of litres in last thing at night, and a couple first thing in the morning, and I always have sufficient water ready to go. I have scrubbed my filters, and totally cleaned my berkey three times now, and its still working perfectly, and I can taste the difference between filtered and unfiltered tap water. Probably time for new filters though. Top tip, keep your old filters. Scrub them, clean them, possibly spray with vinegar and wash them again. Then dry them and store them away marked as "used". In the event that something catastrophic takes place, and your water supply is heavily contaminated, you can use the old filters and a couple of buckets to improvise a pre-filter. That way you wont have to run river water or "brown" water through your precious berkey, which will wear out your filters very rapidly. Use the pre-filter to take out most of the crap, then run this water through the berkey.

Very good video! Just bought a RainFresh 2 stage under sink filter system with a ceramic filter, put it all together, turned on the water, there was a big bang from the filter and the jar went cloudy. I let it run for a bit but the water tasted like sand so I took the whole thing apart and found the bottom of the ceramic filter blew clean off. I bought another filter, VERY CAREFULLY installed it and VERY SLOWLY turned on the water and it’s good now! These things are extremely fragile and break like nothing!

Great review thanks

To get my water tasting better I run our Berkfeld gravity feed into the Zero water jug. The Zero water filters don't last long but it tastes better than bottled water and may work out cheaper as we no longer buy any bottled water including the more expensive sparkling.

Which is better filtration to remove salt and other things mixed in water

The water in my town is super hard and this filtration system didn't completely got rid of all the salts and minerals, but I started boiling it before filtering. Boiling and cooling the water makes minerals precipitate into bigger particles that are caught by the ceramic.

Helped a lot in my research. Thanks!

I have 2 stage filtration installed, sediment filter and carbon. Would it be practical and advisable to add ceramic filter before these 2 filters to make them last longer and filter better?

Thank you! Can you also explain the flow of water in the DOE filter such as the Doulton Ceramic Ultracarb?

This was fantastic, thanks for making the video.

When you see Americans talking about ceramic filters which they have been using for decades until Americans say RO is best and marketing.

Well explained. Thanks

Nice video. My newly acquired ceramic filter gives off a ceramic/clay or earthlike taste in the water. Any solution to this will be appreciated

Very informative. Thanks... I had Entomeoba Hystolica parasites last months and disenteria. So i can trust ceramic filters about removing bacterias an parasites?

without the carbon filter, ceramic will get rid of chemicals or just living organisms?

Thank u it was real helpful !!

😊 thank you

Love my Doulton!

For City water, can I put two water filters before a water softener? A sediment & then a carbon, to protect the water softener, or will that restrict flow too much? I wanted to then have the line then split to a R/O line & the regular line, & put a carbon on the water regular line going to the showers & sink. Concerned about water drop flow rate with 3, 4 filters
