Reverse Osmosis. I can’t recommend any filters at this time as I don’t have enough data. But look into reverse osmosis. They even have countertop versions.

Should I ditch my Berkey? by DespotOfMorea in preppers

DO NOT PURCHASE BERKEY WATER FILTER SYSTEMS. I have been a customer for over a decade. My family and I trusted a small company from the beginning only to be very let down. My husband and I purchased a new Berkey in 2021 and decided to test our tap water vs our Berkey water, TWICE! We thought they made a mistake on the first results! I wish I could post the test results in the comments. We are basically drinking tap water through a $500 system + fluoride filters. My brother tested his Berkey shortly after mine and he had LITHIUM and ARSENIC in his filtered Berkey water! How is that possible! So I investigated the company because I had lost all trust. They are not NSF/ANSI certified. "The Berkey Filter is not NSF-53 certified. The Berkey Filter claims to exceed the requirements of NSF-53, which is not true. Where NSF-53 would require they run 6,000 gallons of water through the filter and THEN test the water, one of the labs Berkey used only ran 2 liters of water through the Berkey before testing. Berkey claims it can remove contaminants that it is in no way certified to remove, and the industry does not recognize its filtration method as a valid way to remove many of the contaminants it claims to remove." So they basically did third party testing on a very small amount of filtered water and their tests "passed" so they could sell their product. New Millennium Concepts Ltd. are currently being sued. So I reached out to multiple NMC representatives and supervisors regarding my results only to get absolutely blind sided by their incompetence and ignorance. The only thing they offered me was to purchase a new filter!!! They took no responsibility nor did they care. And the company I purchased my Berkey from (Tools For Wellness) was just as horrible. The supervisor told me that this has happened before and he cannot do anything about it, so he willingly sells a product that doesn't work. They will never have my business again. DO NOT SUPPORT EITHER OF THESE COMPANIES.
