Nasty Hot Tub Water vs Berkey (and Alexapure and Purewell)

Today we're seeing if the Berkey, Alexapure, and Purewell gravity water filters have what it takes to filter contaminated water. What contaminants are we testing for today? We're going to see if these filters can remove Kool-Aid, Chlorine (and other Hot Tub contaminants), and Salt from water.
Here are links to the 3 water filters I tested in this video.

Great video! I'm glad Alexapure is holding up to the more expensive Berkey.

It totally is. I did read later on My Patriot Supply that the Alexapure is supposed to remove over 99% of chlorine so I am a as little disappointed that it didn’t do more, but it worked at least as well as the Berkey and cost me quite a bit less.

In my household, Alexapure makes our water taste great. I bought one for both of my daughters as well as one for myself.

Cool. I am a little surprised that they took the kool-aid flavor out but not the sugar. Interesting results. Yeah you really need RO for salt.

Yep! RO is most feasible for home use but takes quite a bit of energy.

Did you do one to see if it gets rid of fluoride?

We’re the chlorine and fluoride extra filters used? If not would you do another test using them

I’ve used an AlexaPure for decades,usually with good results. I installed 2 new filters and kept getting white particles on the bottom of my glass. I called the company and got NO help or satisfaction! I asked them for 2 new replacements and told them that I would send them the questionable filters back for assessment! NO DEAL!!! They hung up on me! Buyer beware!!

That’s awful. You’d think they at least hear you out!

Which Filters were used as there are many options

@pantrypreparedness 7 ай бұрын

The black Berkey filters. For the Alexapure I’m only aware of one filter option and is also black, as were the filters on the Purewell.

@@pantrypreparedness Thank you. I've avoided the rabbit hole of filter investigation but the skimming I've done throws up lots of conflicting information. I have a Berky with black filters at present and am lucky enough to live in an area without fluoridation. I enjoyed your video and have subscribed, G'luck.

Would an Alexapure filter work in the Purewell?

@pantrypreparedness Ай бұрын

Yes! They’re pretty much all interchangeable. The 3 I tested can all be switched. And the Pro One filters can work in any of these too. I actually think the Purewell body was a great value compared to the others. You get the exact same metal spigot as the Alexapure which is an upgrade you can pay for on the Berkey. But if you buy the Purewell body you’ll also pay for a set of Purewell fillers which aren’t as good as the others. But they’ll still work for filtering most things and you’ll probably still save money in the end.

Any chance that you could link better recommended filters for the Purewell?
