We weren't able to get on base housing here in Okinawa, so we're currently living in a seaside apartment overlooking the east china sea. We live in an industrial area, have a lot of storm water passing through, sea surges, and our building uses large SS tanks to ensure water capacity for the residents. The water tastes okay, and supposedly its better than the water on base which falls under US requirements and has all sorts of nasty chemicals in it. However, I am dubious. So we went ahead and splurged for an OTS gravity fed system.
I've made a few bucket filters over the years, have used a few different packing filters (really like Sawyer), and have even done the under sink inline filter for a previous house, and various pitchers (Zero, Brita, Pur) ... but this is my first Berkey. I searched and haven't seen any discussions here since 2010 so figured I'd dust this off and see if anyone else is using a Berkey.
