After being introduced to the Berkey Light system by a friend 6 months ago, I''ve learned much about the poor quality and all out lies that the company that produces the black Berkey filters have made. They simply do not filter out all that they claim. After trying the black Berkey filters, I was mildly impressed with the quality of the water, but still preferred the taste of my Brita filter. But the black Berkey filters passed the red dye test, so I got rid of the Brita. I live in a very poor public water area in Colorado, so I wanted to protect my family the best I could.

About a month ago, the quality of my water had decreased. No priming or cleaning improved this. That''s when I started researching these Berkey filters and learned that they do not last 1500 gallons, but should be replaced every 3 months like other filters out there (more like Brita filters). This is because they have no silver in them to ward off internal bacteria growth.

After some more research, Doulton is the company you want to stay with for ceramic filters. They have been around for a long time, and you could call them the "inventors" of the ceramic filter. Unfortunately, Berkey is trying to make money off their good name by selling an inferior product here in the States. These Aquacera Ceracarb filters are the best current filters from the Doulton/Aquacera line up. The only thing they do not filter out is flouride, but there are flouride attachment filters that you can buy.

I picked up 4 total of these filters, and they fit great in the Berkey Light container (I really like the blue Berkey light container!). The Ceracarb come in 7", 9", and 10" models. These are the 9" ones, but the 10" would also easily fit in the container.

Filtration rate with 4 filters is great and the water taste is SO MUCH BETTER than the black Berkey filters. My wife was wondering why I was switching filters so soon, but she was amazed at how much better the water tastes with these Ceracarb filters.

So I guess I''m a little mad being taking advantage of, but overall, I''m glad I was introduced to the gravity filter system idea and I''m also glad I was able to figure out and educate those around me about the horrible product that is the black Berkey filter. Spread the word!! Doulton/Aquacera is the best way to clean up your water!!
