GREAT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AND SEE YOU AGAIN. KINDA MISS YOUR RFB CHANNELS. LOVE FROM LONDON,ENGLAND.

I forgot to tell you oh by the way, run 🏃‍♂️ to Yahusha.. put on the whole armour of Yahuah. Much love Richie.

Buddy, ... you just saved me $140! Thank you for the information. Love your haircut!!! 🙂

Add a sliver coin to the bottom chamber of your berkey. Keeps bacteria slime from forming. Thanks for the video btw

I've owned my berkey for about 5 year's now. It keeps passing the red dye test. Not once have I had to change my filters. I don't have extremely hard water, but the water i do have will turn my shower curtain slightly orange. Love my Berkey.

I've watched this dude a long time ago when he was a real epic truth teller. Godspeed. Eaglegards...

Thank you Richie for presenting the obvious . Been using this system for about 14 years on my 3rd set of black filters and my fifth set of fluoride filters. Thanks for the education .

Great advice. I would add one tid-bit. I now hold the flat end of the filter against something firm and push down on the end air is going in while blowing it out. That is, after I blew the end off of a filter once. Much love 👍🏻

I have had to do some electrical work in an old water treatment plant. It was no longer in use but just stand there and look around. If everybody could see what I saw or what you've seen, they would buy a Big Berkey in a heartbeat. Thanks Richie, always useful information can't do any better than that. God bless.

Perfect timing. I was planning on dumping my filters when I move shortly as they are at the 7 year expiration mark.

Great video Richie. We've been using Berkey since 2004 and we love it. Instructions say to scrub the candles but it wears them out especially the closer to the bottom you go, that's because the bottom filters more water. If someone could make the candles so that you could flip them upside down they would last twice as long.

I wasnt aware that you could blow out the flouride filters too. Thanks!

I was in the electrical and mechanical industry. Installation. I got my Berkey a couple years ago. We’ve cleaned it before like you’re showing. I love it . I even bought another one just to have you know for the kids if they need one. Thanks for the video.

Thanks so much for demonstrating the compressed air cleaning method. Im so annoyed at how little info there is about that. I live off of well water and had my filters for less than 2 years, and they've stopped filtering the top chamber to about 1/3 of the water remaining. And they've slowed down a lot. I scrubbed them real hard one time and it improved the filtering slightly, but only for about another week. Will definitely try the compressed air method next time I clean them! All the info I keep reading is from people filtering tap water, and it's frustrating that berkey themselves don't provide extra information for people who use their filters in slightly more rural situations, especially since filtering all kinds of water is a huge feature of their filters

Thank you. I learned one can use a plugged ceremic plant pot in a bucket also. The one hour to live video you posted yesterday made a huge difference in my life, It may have lengthened it, and I was in tears. Thank you so much for posting that. Perfect timing

Thank you Richie, you always have good information!!! Prayers for you, your family, friends and neighbours!!! Much love!!! Peace and blessings!!! 🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️🙇🏾‍♀️💝💝💝🕊🕊🕊

Hiya Richie, I too used to work for a water company for 7 years and have also seen the fluoride dosing tanks, in my last year working for the company I used to test the tanks once a week to see if the correct amount of fluoride and chlorine was going into the water, back then I thought nothing of it, thank you for this video, me and my family very much appreciate your informative work, keep shining brother 🙏

I love this. I was dreading buying replacements. Thank you!!!!!

Although I do appreciate the video, I tried this with an air compressor at work, and... I blew the filter up! Carbon everywhere😂😂😂😂 Clarification: I tried it with a ProPur G2.0 filter. It is entirely made of ceramic. Not sure what the PSI of the compressor is set at.

Best thing I bought for my household.

I've followed your journey for years, and I long for the pre-censorship years. These days we live are a validation to your work. Im sure your have started a "Style" with the hair, its badass like you...as we slide down the banister of life, we pray the splinters are pointed the right way my dude!

No matter the subject, you always make your videos interesting.

Thanks Richie! Missed seeing you and your great videos!

THANX RICHIE FOR CAREING ENOUGH TO DO THIS VIDEO. helping the helpless.

Wow thank you Ritchie! I’m amazed, It’s great to know that it’s so easy to revitalise the Berkeley filters.

Richie , good tip , thanks for sharing ,God bless !

I have an air compressor and I'm going to use it this weekend now that I know how to clean the filters. A very big thank you!

I love our filter. I am thankful I can give my family clean water! Been using it for 3 years now. Thank you for the video

I've been using my Alexa Pur for ten years and I love it. Thanks for your service and have a blessed day brother. Keep making videos!

I have a Berkey as well and just scrub them down and re-prime them. I have never used compressed air. Just keep in mind, not to use too much air psi, since the one end is just glued on and I have seen them split. I just changed out a set of filters after 8 or so years. The old filters were filtering slow, even after a good cleaning. Possibly calcium build up, not sure.

| THANK YOU | I have the Big Berkey and soft scrub with sponge pad the black fliters about once a month, I do hand pump water out and into the black and white filters as well. I now know I can use air when needed.

I wish I could afford all this. I used to listen to this guy. Richie From Boston.

Thanks for this Video Richie! I was wondering just how you did this! I remember a few years back when you mentioned use of a pressure hose on your other channel etc. I'll never forget what you said.. "Don't tell Berkey I told you that" lol And ever since I've been wondering just how you did this.. So thanks again Richie! Much love!

I like your haircut! Josh Homme the singer from Queens of the Stone Age has his hair cut like that. It's punk! Cool... Keep on keeping on!! 😁🤗🙏💕

Wow overland it is great to see you taking time to show how to properly clean that berkey

Right on Richie! I retired last year out of Plumbers Local 8 Kansas City! I clean my Alexapure the same way! Love the hairdo!!!

Hey Brother Richie! I did not want to spend the money for the stainless steel so I used 2 food grade 5 gallon buckets with covers and bought the parts and built one with a tap. I like you love doing things myself. No worries about the self bloviating about your skill as a plumber.. I to am a master, a master painter. I was taught the painting trade by a guy who was taken from Poland in 1939 to be a slave laborer for the Germans in a labor camp in Magdeburg Germany, for 6 years. I learned the trade OLD SCHOOL! A true MASTER! So like the old days Brother Richie when we used to play pool in the bar room...When you see a nice shot say...."NICE SHOT"! Be and Stay Blessed! Ray

I’ve got the last one you showed from the Alex Jones channel many years ago. I’m still o my first filters. I bought like 4 extra sets of filters when I bought the unit. I should be all set. Great video. I’m gonna clean mine soon. 👍

Thank you Richie, keep on teaching , you have taught me and others and I have purchased many products based upon your recommendation!

Seems like a slick method to clean the filter. We used to have a berkey and always had this problem.. At some point I suppose the activated charcoal would loose its power to absorb chemical toxins. Because of the cost of these filters, I did lots of experimentation with making your own activated carbon by using hot salt water. Certainly not as potent as store brought activated carbon, but it would turn tea into clear water within a day. All very interesting.

You're the reason I bought I bought one almost 2yrs ago and been using it since. Texas has some of the worst water quality in the country, so bad it almost killed my labrador due to a toxin he picked up outta one of the local lakes where 90% of our drinking water comes from and I noticed the water will actually change the color of rubber wading boots. South of me the ground water has so much tritium and "other" radioactive elements that it can't be used anymore. Thank you for all your informative presentations over the yrs and really enjoy JBO presentations! God Bless brother.

I really wish I had one of these (can't afford one... Yet) but I do have a different water filter you've showed in your other videos. Richie, I think you gave yourself a mohawk😎😆

Been using Berkey water filters for 10 years since I moved to AZ which has horrific hard water. I use Berkey shower filter too, who wants to bathe in fluoride. Thanks for sharing great cleaning tip, I am one of those idiots who didn't know.

Hi Richie, I use a Berkey which is one year old now and what a great video showing how to clean the filters. I was thinking to replace the fluoride filters but my dealer hasn't got them in stock for months. I guess with your great tip I don't need to buy new ones. Kudos to you for your video came just in time.

Just bought one and this was very helpful

Thank you for this, I recently purchased a travel Berkey

Thanks so much. I just recently bought one so good to know!! I did have to purchase the fluoride filters separate but to me they were definitely a must have.

This was very helpful, thank you for posting. I have an Alexapure, and I am so glad I got it before everything goes up.

Thanks brother. Be blessed.

Thank you so much for making this video. I have a Big Berkee but I haven't used it yet.

Thank you for the link to a Berkeley knock off. I will get one as soon as I can. If you lived close to me, I would cut your hair. I cut my husband’s hair, my son’s hair and beard and my nephew’s hair. I’m not a professional barber but a seamstress and retired science teacher.

REMEMBERED YOU TOLD US THIS LOL I AM GLAD YOU MADE A VIDEO ON IT FINALLY!

That's exactly what I decided to do after getting tired of buying filters. Yes it works well.the filtets worked like new.

Love it, thanks Richie. For info. I used on a 4 year old Alexapure filter which had almost stopped. i had no air compressor. I used a "Gallo Gun" Co2 GGC6 cartridge. Made for unblocking pipes. Same concept. worked a treat. Thanks so much because it is almost impossible to replace the alexapure filter in europe. something to do with someone called alex who is apparently unliked. you know the score Richie

And now that we have sewer water on tap, this filter is even more important.

No judgment on the hair good INFORMATION LOVE FROM MICHIGAN THANKS

Hi Richie, I'm a single old lady with very limited space. Could I use a bicycle pump? Could that be enough pressure? Thank you for being in my life, God bless

Thanks for sharing. Note that the fluoride filter have aluminum in them. Drinking aluminum is bad, too. It is a great idea to filter the Berkey water a second time to get rid of the aluminum. The best solution is to stop adding the bydro fluorosilicic acid, along with hundreds of other pollutants that come with it. This stuff is scraped off the chimneys of phosphate mining processing plants. Look it up!

Pickup an extra spigot for these units as well. A metal one might be a better backup.

Thanks Richie. We recently set up our Big Berkey that we've had for years in a closet. We've been enjoying the clean water for a couple of months, and I've been wondering how long the filters would last and when I'd need to replace them. It's great to know I can clean them!

Fantastic video- THANKS Richie! At what point do you decide its actually time to replace them??

thanks for the info Richie. God bless

Thank you so much for your info I appreciate this

Thanks Richie. I just ordered another set of filters and oh so appreciate this video....I'm gonna save those two for when I need them....a looooooong time from now. GOD bless....

Thank you for this video. Been wondering how you did it. Heard you mention it but I’m a picture type of person. Thanks l!!

Thanks so much for this info! I never thought about cleaning out my Berkey filters!

I’m on a well but the small city next door has tap water that smells like a public pool. Some people get itchy and say it burns their eyes, plus it’s cloudy which makes it even more appetizing. Public water systems are disgusting.

Nice, definitely looks like a worth while investment. Thank you for providing the vid Richie.

I miss hearing your voice anything you say sounds great to me. Happy birthday. I'm 67, so what ever, keep on truckin'. ❤️🇨🇱 Hair cut looks like you..

We had to used a rubber notch belt to open the filter system. So it was handy knowing what to use instead of calling for a service ppl.

Great to see hear you again...

Welcome back RFB!! Thanks for helping Humanity again!!I know, big price to pay for telling the truth!!

Thank you Brother, Im on a well & have a top of the line water filtration system that removes hard water, arsenic & bacteria, It also backwashes itself with a large salt hopper. Probably something you could install in your sleep if you wanted, Judging by what your showing of your work. However it would be nice to also have a more portable system just incase of whatever

I love your work Ritchie. God Bless you. Very good info.

Hi Richie, I hope you see this question! Thank you so much for sharing this information - you saved me $300! I bought myself a little dual rechargeable/12V air compressor, and I cleaned my filters. Worked like a charm! Here's my question: if you've blown everything out with the compressed air, don't you have to reprime the filters, to fill them back up with water? I did, just to be on the safe side, but I'd value your advice on this. Thanks again!

Thank you! We have the same water system. This is very helpful.

I KNEW voice! I listen to you on alt......thanks for the video....

Nice vid. I assumed the black filter was fluoride remover and the white the standard. Advice rocks ---- hair aint bad - beats paying 45 bucks at the shop.

GOD bless you Richie man I sure miss you on YT🤗🙏🐑😘

Thank you

RFB wear gloves when you clean it because your skin absorbs all the metal. Glad I found you again brother!

Richie, thanks again for the great information and taking the time provide the information. My only question regarding using the air compressor is the psi you may recommend. 20#s, 30#s, etc. Only if your time permits a response, thanks again.

I've been telling people about Fluoride for years, good video

Perfect timing. I am in the market for a water filter & have been looking at the Berkeys. I did not know about the AlexaPure Pro.

yes indeed, good job and thanks for the education - I'm actually one of those guys - 1 is none and 2 is one so I have 4 sets of filters in my stock - guess I wont need filters for sometime -

Miss your tone and your views especially now Ritchie, hope your well god bless you

Never even thought about using air to blow it out. Good Idea you got there. Filters are up to $166 for 2 now. Yikes! Mine use to break at the stem and leak until i started using rubber washers on both sides of the stem, instead of just inside. That cost me a lot of money to learn. Those stems are not just made to strong. Now if i could figure out a way to reglue the stem where they meet the carbon filter. Then I could reuse those old broke ones that still have life in them. Any who gonna need the old berkey when it hits. I dont have to deal with Flouride because its well water.

I’m 25 years into the trade of plumbing and first and foremost my filtration system is insane. 25 stages of filtration before the water hits my lips. Fluoridation pisses me off. Hot subject here.

Thanks man you are appreciated

Good video! I needed to know how to clean the cleaning and filtering for my Berky.

thank you Thank You THANK YOU!!!!! I have one set of back up filters, had a friend blow out my old ones (wasn’t aware you could do the floride ones too) ... I don’t have an air compressor but I will get the compressed air in the can. You are Awesome!!!!!!!!

Excellent ! Thanks! Great haircut.

Bring back Ritchie from Boston bro. You were one of the few who spoke the truth. The people want and need to know ..please m8.

Ive had an alexapure for 7 years or so ive only gone through 4 filters one i broke and the others broke when i put way too much pressure and broke the cylinder make sure you dont blast it with full pressure if u have a good size compressor

Thanks for sharing. I'm searching now for a filter.

Hey brother I was a plumber for 25 years to before my back and my neck took me out, now I have 5 artificial discs in my spine. Anyway thanks for the video and I hope you are doing great

GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS!!! and everything you share

is there a bottled/canned air you recommend if we don"t have air compressor? great video btw thank you!

OMG I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD ANOTHER CHANNEL ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Richie...love you. God bless you..
