Business ProfileforBerkey Water Systems

I purchased two Berkey units for ***********, One is 2 years old and one is less than 6 months old. Both Berkey systems are only used for the summer months which means my first Berkey has less than one actual year of use and my new Berkey has only been used for 3 months. Both filters on the first Berkey failed the Dye test after less than 1 year of use and one of the two filters on my new Berkey (2023) with only 3 months of use has failed. Like the previous reviewer, Berkey tells me that the old dye test can not be used anymore and one has to reduce the dye amount to a fraction of the old test. My conclusion is that the filters are not of the same quality anymore or why would a dye test that has been used for years and years now not be good enough? With the new test, If you dilute the dye amount to such a low concentration and color it will be almost impossible to see any color in the output water...which is I guess what they want. Bottom line, I can only conclude the filters are not of the same quality and are not lasting. The advertised longevity of their filters was the selling point for me because at $166 for yearly replacements does not make them a competitive solution. Buyer beware that both my reviews on Berkey *** and Berkey the parent company were NOT posted...so very very very disappointed that they screen reviews and post the ones they want. I also went to Berkeyfilters.com and they only allow you to see 9 reviews of *****+. I checked each and every Berkey Product separately, Travel, Big , Royal, Imperial and Crown Berkey . Berkey would not tell me why there is not a single review in over 1 year for any of the Berkey Products? Why is Berkey filtering out all reviews given by customers over the last year to year and a half. My conclusion is they are having filter problems! Surprise, my review was also not posted !Do your homework...see NYTimes article on Berkey *********************************************************************************************************
