I've spent decades advocating people have a choice of either RO reverse osmosis or Berkey or similar water filter with fluoride elements. After all when the grid goes down and the tapwater no longer has pressure your reverse osmosis system will be worthless
Berkey and Berkey type filters are excellent because you can take them on the move change locations use them for filtering rainwater or gray water that you first passed through another sediment filter etc. there are many layers here but
I would never advocate a single thing such as RO system
I advocate Berkey for the home filter and KATADYN water filters for backpacking and travel as well as life straw
Redundant systems are excellent
I would not want to follow up a perky with a bunch of crappy rainwater or pawn scum so you also wanna grab a hold of this many brown paper coffee filters as you can from garage shells free markets and waist stream and even create your own pre-filter system with sand salt and charcoal Over brown paper coffee filters so that you are passing some mostly clean water through your Berkey as the final step
Berkey can only last for 10,000 gallons if you've got some pretty clean pre-filtered or tapwater coming in
I could write forever about this but surely other people already have please you've redundant systems and keep your options open when the shit hits the fan SHTF you're gonna need to have Katie Dan and life straw filters on hand and or your Berkey and whatever you can keep working as you try to operate by candlelight after the grade goes down
You should and must adopt as many 5 gallon bottle as you can when you see them curbside take a sniff and if they smell clean then you can take them home and triple rinse them with the hose water
You should be storing clean filtered water in your basement garage closet
Redundant water filters and redundant water storage or essential after an earthquake disaster hurricane fire flood natural disaster and or World War III zombie apocalypse
Please forgive any typo spelling errors as I'm dictating but I did try to spell out
Katadyn Water filter on my first pass
You can go to eBay and local marketplace from craigslist Facebook next-door and stock up at as many life straw cared in and Berkey water filters and element as you can plus your 5 gallon drugs which you should be stock filing for when the grid goes down SHTF |
