By comparison Berkey water filters
outperform commercially available water filters in almost all
categories. But don't take our word for it. We searched for water filter comparison on Google and found the most popular
comparison chart and it soon became apparent why Berkey did not show up in their
testing results. We plugged our most popular model, the Big Berkey, into
this same chart
and thought you might be interested in the results. We did add two new
columns to take into account for the fact that Berkey water filters last
10 times longer than our competition and also removes viruses. Do your own
research and find out why Berkey water Filters are the ultimate. |
