It would work, but the filters ain't that cheap that I would want to shorten filter life.

Sorry, swamped at work. I don't have links handy. If folks drink the water from the shiny Big Berkey, the filter sells itself so I don't have much effort towards internet back up.

Berkey filters normally last a reallly long time. At my rate of work usage- about 5 years.
