I’m sorry to report that Berkey is pretty much a complete sham and they refuse to submit to any legitimate standards testing to prove their filtration claims. Unfortunately you’re paying for branding.

Yeah, Wirecutter had some tests run and found that they outperformed other filters in lead reduction but they weren't able to support any of Berkey's other claims.

It's just such a strange red flag how Berkey is like "we outperform all the NSF and ANSI tests for water filtration" but won't actually get a certification that verifies it.
