  I need a good shower Head filter

  I used to have a Berkey shower head water filter when I had awful well water. It worked fine, but the cartridge would start clogging after half a dozen showers. If your water is that bad, you'll probably have the same issue.

  What have you used the most at home these two years?

  My in laws love their Berkey so much they travel with it. We were all just drinking from it all thanksgiving week. It really is amazing how it strips all the weird flavors out of water.

  What have you used the most at home these two years?

  Berkey water filter. My tap was undrinkable, high chlorine that would make me gag and local businesses dumped cleaning chemicals into our water systems so we were advised not to drink tap. I'm very happy with the berkey filter. My water tastes pure, no nasty tastes. I've used 4 different brand air fryers. One after the other, all died after 1 year of use. I'm done with air fryers. I stick to toaster ovens, they keep working and are helpful when I don't want to heat my entire regular oven. Coffee machines, look for ones with the least amount of plastic possible. More durable, less plastic taste. My little shark robot vacuum died after one year. Errors. Battery would not charge. Might need to replace the battery? It was nice while it lasted.

  Which countertop water filter should I get?

  I used the Berkey for a while, and while the water tasted great, it needed a bit of patience to maintain.

  Which countertop water filter should I get?

  I bought a Berkey because I liked the stainless steel build and the fact it didn’t need electricity or installation. It definitely made the water taste better and it felt cleaner, but the flow was slow and the filters weren’t cheap.

  Water filter suggestions?

  I'm not sure what you're asking. I'm not making any claims about the Berkey except that I've had it for 7 years and it's working fine for me. The Aarke works fine too.

  Water filter suggestions?

  I’m happy with my Berkey. Bought it about 7 years ago. And I have an Aarke seltzer maker. Not cheap, but it’s mostly metal with some minimal plastic elements and should last forever. Went through 2 Soda Stream units before I invested in the Aarke. You didn’t ask for that info, but just in case you drink a lot of seltzer like me.

  Water filter suggestions?

  I purchased a waterdrop gravity water filter (https://a.co/d/guv86Qn) 2 years ago and my family and I love it. No more buying packs of bottled water during hurricanes. There are other brands like Berkey (not sure I spelled that correct) but it’s the same thing and you can just purchase their brand name filters if you think it matters. We live in Florida and our tap water is terrible to drink, but once it passes through this, it’s delicious and no longer has a weird smell.

  Counter-top water filtration / dispenser / reverse osmosis product that lasts long?

  I happen to think Berkeys are pretty good. But here is a interesting video breakdown of some filter competitors. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja0ioX6GSz0&ab\_channel=ProjectFarm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja0ioX6GSz0&ab_channel=ProjectFarm)
