in love with these things. LOL!

A friend thought I was nuts for investing in one, even though 3 drops of rain will issue boil water warnings here in our 'burg. I took my sport Berkey to his house and filled it with tap water, yard dirt and red food coloring. Had him drink a glass of cold tap and a glass of post filtered water side by side.

Guess who then asked for help picking out a model.

There are a gazillion videos on these. The ones I kept were on stream water and the dirt/coloring test, but may not be the best. Do you have video(s) bookmarked that do a good job in explaining Berkeys?
