We have a Pro One and a good stockpile of filters. It's a great company. I ordered filters a few months ago and a representative from Pro One called me and said I failed to use a discount code that I was unaware of. She said she cancelled my order and then asked me to re-order with the discount code. What company does that?! They have a customer for life now.

Thanks so much. My Berkey is on its way to me. I was in a panic because I found out fluoride would not be removed, and that is a big one for me. I will order the filters as you recommend, and I am so grateful. It is perfect timing. Note to all humans: Flouride is a neurotoxin and was purposely put in our water system, not for our benefit. Take care of your health and question all.

We have done both Berkey and ProOne filters but are using RO now instead. I prefer the taste and softness of the ProOne over Berkey's filters. I would argue that the replacement times/# of gallons filtered can't be compared fairly if you are going by Berkey's claims as to how many gallons a filter is good for. In all the time we used the Berkey filters, we never got what they claimed we would. What made us switch to ProOne was a small water tester we purchased that gave the ppm of contaminants. The ProOne scored considerably better.

Does your water tester test for contaminants or just total dissolved particles, cause that not the same. You can have no lead and lots of minerals and test high for TDS, but still be excellent drinking water with no actual contaminants.

We've had a ProOne a little over 2 years & sure do like it. The fact that flouride filtering is already in the filter so you don't need a separate one to filter out flouride is great. We just got a new filter today & yep, always a new scrubbie included. And the water tastes great. We have had the same filter in for 2 years & our water still tastes good....but the filter has a little crack....so we thought we should replace it now. We have a filter on our sink faucet....it doesn't filter out much...but that's the water we use to put in our ProOne....I think that's why our filter doesn't need replaced as often as recommended. Even 2 yrs. old, it is white !

We have had a Pro One pitcher filter since December 2022. We had a couple of issues with how the lid fit the pitcher, but their customer service was EXCELLENT and took care of us right away and once we got the new one it has been excellent. Water taste great! I think it’s time to change the filter but I would like to make sure it’s necessary first (any suggestions on how to do this is appreciated). We chose Pro One because of recommendation from a family member who uses the big one. We wanted fluoride and chlorine (along with other junk) out of drinking water. Kudos to Pro One!

Awesome, thanks so much for sharing and glad you've had a great experience! I agree on their customer service being top notch. ProOne recommends a blue die test where you cycle through some water with blue food coloring to test how the filters are performing and if replacement is needed. We're not at that stage yet ourselves, but I'm sure you can find more info on their site about it. Thanks for watching!

I’ve used Berkey for years. I have well water with bad stuff in it. The old black filters were great. The newer black filters are different. They contain less filtering medium and are much harder to prime because they don’t hold as much water. I’ve had enough of the newer black filters. I purchased ProOne filters yesterday. I also did the red dye test on the Berkey filters, so I knew if they were working. I will do the blue dye test on ProOne.

We first got our Berkey Light about 16-17 years ago now. We replaced the filters several times over the years (five kids, now teens to 20's, and we also cook with filtered water). The fluoride and arsenic filters also had to replaced more frequently, making them pricey to use. We switched to ProOne when they were still called ProPur a few years ago, and have also been very happy with them. We bought our college kid her own ProOne for Christmas this year (it was on her list), and would have gotten our married daughter new filters for hers but didn't think she'd be excited about that.

We like ours. We have had a Berkey for years, but the spigot broke off within about 2 months. Walmart was selling on clearance a Sun Tea jar we purchased for like $2.00 which was massively cheaper than a replacement Berkey spigot. Now about a dozen years later the WalMart spigot still works. We want with an alternative ceramic replacement filter within.

exactly, they are only NSF certified for parts but not NSF certified for actually filtering out what the claim to be filtering out and the labs only test 200 gallons, not the entire life of the filter (1000 gallons or so) - we spend all this money on a product, why the heck do they not have better testing and a legit certification by a 3rd party saying what they say they filter they are actually filtering. Who came up with the 1000 gallons test. Berkey claimed 3000 gallons and now look at all the issues and class action law-suites happening. I don't think any of these companies are telling us the truth - if so they would have better NSF certifications then just the "parts and material" certification.

I have just today switched to ProOne's in my Berkey tank. Perhaps it's the newer Black Berkey's that have a problem?.. my first Black Berkey pair were fine and gave me clear water from the get go. Then I bought a bigger Imperial tank and installed 2 pairs of Black Berkey filters. The water came out really cloudy/milky! I primed repeatedly (and I mean - repeatedly) soaked them overnight, more priming and shaking, till the water finally looked *almost* clear. But then my son got a tummy issue, and his new doctor told us we should be boiling all our drinking water (!) - no matter what filter we use! Well, I didn't spend that much money on several Berkey's to now have to boil 10 litres of water a day. I set out to prove the Doctor wrong- and tested both my source water (*very clear* tank water) and that same water after filtering through the Black Berkey. Not only did the Black Berkey NOT remove all the e/coli and coliforms, my turbidity increased almost 1000% (i.e. the cloudiness). Worst of all though, the ALUMINIUM increased by 2500%!!! (again - this must be the cause of cloudiness? Nothing else was detected). Aluminium before filtering was 0.01mg/L, but after filtering was 0.26 which is above recommendations for drinking water. I've googled whether the Berkey filters leach Aluminium, and they have this big article off their website about such 'nasty rumours' and how there's different types of aluminium and the aluminium used in the manufacture of their Arsenic/Fluoride filters is harmless. Except I'm only using the Black filters, which DON'T use any Aluminium in them. It just doesn't make sense. Anyway I've just run through and dumped 3 cycles from the ProOne filters; so excited that it's clear and tastes good! I will be retesting the water, at my own expense, as I need to know it's 100% safe for my kids.

I have used bottled water for the last 40 years and became tired of buying and lugging it home and the expense has gone way up.

I've been a Pro One user for three or four years now. I originally ordered the ProPur 304 filtration system plus filters from the US about seven or eight years ago. I'm in Canada, so a few years later I decided to search for a Canadian company, which would simplify ordering. I found a company in Alberta, Canada that I've been using ever since. The Pro One filters are exactly what I had been using which I got from the US. The service of our Canadian company is awesome. They are helpful and prompt with questions or concerns. I use two 7" filters and change them once a year. I ordered a second ProPur System so now I buy four filters at a time. I do a lot of gardening, so we go through the purified water when washing veggies, canning and cooking. We also use the ProOne ProMax Shower Filtration System in our bathroom. Their products are great. I feel confident that our family is drinking pure water now.💙💙😃👍

Berkey claims 3000 gallons for each filter. But if you dive down into the lab reports, you will find that the only Chlorine was tested for 3000 gallons. Other tests were at a much lower rate. It is something to have knowledge about but shouldn't keep you from buying Berkey again. However, I am looking at both Boroux and the ProOne. These are certainly looking good and would love to see a head to head on. With any gravity fed system, I recommend making your own decision on the number of gallons for these gravity filters instead of going with the manufactures, as per what I said above. Great video!

According to their website, it says they use a "carbon based granular media" and is an all in one filter (including fluoride). You can check but I believe the lab reports showed it filtered out 98% of aluminum from water and it's not used in the filter itself. This is directly from the info on the 9" filters that we purchased -“All-in-one” filter technology. NO add-on filter required for fluoride reduction -Silver infused outer ceramic shell, helps prevent the growth of bacteria, proprietary carbon based granular media inside the core -No priming required I hope this helps!

Hey! Definitely hear you. I think it's just one of those things that in order to filter out harmful things, you're likely going to also have to take out some beneficial things. I'm not going to claim to be a filtration expert, but my guess is that if they reworked the makeup of their filters to allow 100% of calcium through, it would also allow a lot of other stuff through you don't want in your water. Personally, I'm fine with this and since we have a family milk cow, I'm not concerned at all about our family having enough calcium in our diet. But I definitely understand the concern. My guess is that most water is not a great source for calcium to begin with, so with some regular dairy products and other good calcium sources, I'm sure you can get your family all the dairy they need!

I just finished watching that video where an independent company lab tested the berkey filters, absolutely shockin to see the results! was little aluminium in the water before filtering and levels were sky high after filtering. They should be held accountable for making people sick!

Yes, we're sad to hear these reports as well. That's why we like that the ProOne filters don't need a separate fluoride filter. Their test results show their filters remove 98% of aluminum. Thanks for watching!

will pro one filters filter rain water? thanks for your answer ahead of time

Hey there! Yes they will! I had the same question several months back and reached out to them about it. They gave a more detailed response, but bottom line is that they are designed to handle rain water. They designed them initially from more of a off grid, preparedness perspective so they’re up for filtering most natural water sources. Thanks for watching!

It would be interesting if those filters also release aluminum into the filtered water like the Berkey Fluoride filters apparently are.
@FromScratchFarmstead
@FromScratchFarmstead Жыл бұрын
ProOne's lab reports show that 98% of aluminum is removed from water through the filters. Since it's not a separate fluoride filter like Berkey has these shouldn't have the same effect. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Great info but how often do you clean your filters? Also the pro one comes with a comparable 2.25 gallon unit but theirs comes with the 5 inch unit. Why did you buy so many and then 9 inch units?
@FromScratchFarmstead
@FromScratchFarmstead Жыл бұрын
ProOne recommends monthly cleaning. To be honest we probably only do a couple times a year. I never checked but I guess that could make sense for it to come with 5" filters. Our 2.25 gallon Berkey originally came with 2 7" filters. We eventually added on 2 more 9" Berkey filters and they always fit and we never thought much about the size besides that it gives more filtering capacity. So when we got the ProOne replacements, we just went with the 9" again. You can see if ProOne has more of a recommendation of size, but I think you'd be fine whatever size you want to go with. Thanks for watching!

I have been looking for berkey filter replacments but theu arent available. I ended up oerdering tow ceramic candles but gor the wrong size. I have 9inch black Berkey filters but for some reason ordered 7inch ceramic candles filters 🙄. I put them any after.clean per instructions, and oh boy if it isnt the slowest darned thing around for filtering the water jistnin the rinse alone. So, hereni am looking at reviews and hoping to find a sutiable replacement. Thank you for you review. If i do order here ill be sure toget the same size as my black ones.

I know it has been a month since this was posted, but I want to add some info that might help you. When ceramic filters are installed, they do run slow, at first. After a few times it will flow faster. Happens every time I replace with a ceramic filter. Either a Dulton or Pro One.

Hey! We just did a light but thorough scrubbing and they were good to go after cycling through some water that we discarded. I hope it gets better for you! It's interesting because, as we've interacted with people on both Berkey and ProOne filters, everyone has different tastes and preferences. Some find the taste a bit off. Some find it pure and refreshing. We're in the 2nd camp but can understand how it might not be the same for everyone. Thanks for watching!
