I'm looking into filters now. We're about to move and leave behind our carbon/ceramic filter that mounts into the sink faucet with a Pure tap. I looked at the Berkey's, and like that you can remove flouride and arsenic, but don't like that you end up with aluminum in the process. Too bad they didn't make a 2- step system with the aluminum filter first.<br />
<br />
Has anyone looked into the Pure and Clear filters on Mercola's site? They look pretty good, but are out of stock right now.

Check <a href="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=1139875" target="_blank"><u>this thread</u></a>, I recall we discussed the Berkey, there was some issue, but mostly positive, iirc. Off to make Father's Day dinner for my husband. :-)<br />

Hey Pat,.....We have been drinking LeBleu H2O for a cuple of years now, but the cost is just getting unmanagable. We're looking into a "Big Berkey" which requires no "power" and we can take it with us if we ever have to get out of Dodge to a place with questionable H2O supply. Anyway, let me know your thoughts. According to what I have read so far, it CAN take out Fluoride. Hugs, D
