I disagree on cost advantage of Berkey. You need to add in the cost of the flouride filters for the Berkey which last only 1000 gallons. Requires 6 sets of two ($61.00 a pop). Alexapure does not require an extra filter for flouride. Advantage Alexapure.

The Berkey website technically states the black filters already filter out fluoride and the white fluoride reduction filters are for "increased protection and assurance," which sounds like a price grab IMO. Nevertheless, I choice to go with Alexapure as well.

I have had my Alexapure water system just shy of 1 (ONE) year and my filter has stopped working. According to the description, the filter should last approximately 5,000 gallons. I estimate that we use 2.5-3 gallons per day. 3 gal * 338 days = 1,014 gallons! Nowhere close to 5,000 gal. If the estimate for the longevity is so off base, I have to wonder how accurate the claims for the purity of the filtered water are. When I called customer service about my problem, I was told that the filter should last 6-8 months. WHAT?!? Extremely disappointed!!! And a new filter is NOT CHEAP!

Agreed. You need to put ALL FOUR filters in, and you will see a huge increase in volume. I dropped 500 bucks on the Alexapure with EVERYTHING including the extras, the spare parts, blah blah blah. I believe the filter from Alexapure is slightly BETTER than Berkey as well according to many folks who are willing to actually test the filters. Berkey won't send their filters to a true testing facility because they know they will not do as well as tested, but their claims are that they are the BEST! I would personally go with Alexapure, but I will say berkey is better looking with their chrome finish and nice parts.

@@idaho2085 the weight of the water in the top tank creates a pretty decent seal. I just always used 1 filter at a time. The filter would flow great until the bottom started to fill and the air couldn't get out. Then, it slowed down to one drop every couple seconds. I used to tip the top tank back, that let it flow properly but it was not a good solution. It fell over a couple times and dumped water everywhere. Then I found this product online that's basically just a straight plastic tube that bolts into place of one of the filter holes. It stops just below the lid of the top tank and allows the air pressures to equalize. Allowing the filter to flow right and the water spigot to flow properly as well. I love it.

Regarding 'overfilling': On my Berkey I have a long, clear tubular filling register that is part of the spiggot; absolutely fantastic. Strangely, Berkey no longer sells this very useful - and to my mind, essential - component (it was an added cost, but well worth the price given the fact that you always know what the level of the water is in the Berkey without having to lift the lid). I mean, Berkey...WTF?

I'm just saying it could have been a better design. No reason for a debate. Still a good product works very well filtering my water. Where I live they add a lot of chlorine and God knows what else to the city water. Running through the filter and it tastes better than most bottled water.
