The fact that they refuse to get certified / conduct any independent rigorous testing (like in NSF/ANSI certification) should have clued you in.
"We also cut open a pair of Black Berkey filters to see how they are constructed and to look for evidence that, as Berkey marketing claims, they contain “at least” six different filtering elements. We found that though the Berkey filters are larger and denser than filters from Brita and 3M Filtrete, they appear to share their filtration mechanisms: activated charcoal impregnated with an ion-exchange resin."
- j0hnyl 4y agoI've used one for a while and it's amazing. You can taste the difference. You can put water with food coloring/dye through the filter and it will come out clear and delicious. Brita pales in comparison. Granted, I was not aware of the certification stuff and I suppose that could mean some of their claims are misleading, but I've been very happy with their product.
