I hadn't. Was being lazy and not using the Google. But now that its in my face, I may have to do so. Heh.

Not that I actually expect to ever be in a position to need the info, but idle thoughts lead to research for me.

I thought about DIY, and I also considered posting to the lounge. Lots of smart people there mixed in with the rest of us smart asses.

I do appreciate the Berkey thing. I had never heard of them. I started watching the videos, and was quickly pulled up short and informed that I was not allowed to purchase one unless/untill I wore out my current water filter. And seeing as that is still new in the box, an unused relic of the past when we had disposable income(or any income), it seems unlikely I can justify, or afford even if I could justify, that kinda purchase.
