Clary, I have a question for you...
-What do you think of the British Berkefeld gravity water filters?.... Just wondering if you had any experience or knowledge about this. Thanks for any insight you can offer.

I don't have any experience or knowledge about this water filter. I did a search to see what it looked like, thinking it might be something similar to a gravity water filter one of my daughters used for a short time. It looks a lot like the one she had. I sent her an email and a link to look at this brand, and asked her if it is the same as the one her Father-in-Law gave their family and that she used for awhile. --and asked why she stopped using it. I If I hear anything back, I'll let you know.
Good luck in your research.
Hi Nettie,
Here is my daughter’s response to my email:
"This is not the brand we had, but xxxxxx's sister had this brand. Ours was the same type of system, but a different brand name. I don’t remember what the name of it was. I think the reason we stopped using ours was the filters cost over $100. also- no one would remember to fill it up, so it just took up counter space."
By chance, this following article was on my hotmail opening page this morning. Of course, these results are from only the cities included in the testing. In my personal opinion, we have “water purity problems” all over the country. How could we NOT?:
"10 U.S. cities with the worst drinking water"
"If you live in Pensacola, Fla., you may want to invest in a water purifier"
