Water purifier questions?

The EPA estimated safe level of chloramines in drinking water is 4 mg/l. My city water is 2.5 mg/l. Is 2.5 mg/l a safe level? Government agencies are hardly trustworthy because they’re so heavily influenced by the private sector, but is 2.5 mg/l a safe level for drinking water? I’m thinking about buying a Berkey water purifier, but it doesn’t filter out chloramines. I guess only carbon block purifiers filter out chloramines, so I would have to rule out the Berkey filter if I wanted to filter chloramines. If 2.5 mg/l is unsafe can you recommend a good countertop carbon block purifier? The fluoride level of my city water is .1 ppm. 2ppm is considered safe, so the fluoride level is not a problem I believe. Thanks for any replies.

First, is the 2.5 the added chloramine or the at the tap level. If the added level, all of that will be gone by the time it gets to your tap. It is added to keep bacteria from getting in your pipes. Before you invest in a filter, test at your tap to see if it is even measurable. Even if at the tap, it is "safe" according to USEPA standards.

A Berkey Water Purifier is like a piece of history. The company that makes these filters has been around for about 200 years. The filters are famous all over the world and work in all kinds of really hostile environments. They work on your kitchen countertop too and here's why...

Clean water is mighty scarce in many parts of the world. Polluted water is more than a nuisance in many places. It's life-threatening. It's pollution of all kinds and it's hard to find one filter that can deal with every form of pollution. These filters can deal with hard-shelled parasites as well as dangerous bacteria. That's what relief workers and missionaries often face, as well as the people they assist.

What about chemicals? MTBE is a gasoline additive. It damages kidneys and livers if you drink it. Problem is... it's very water soluble so it's almost impossible to get it out of water. Enter the Black Berkey Filters. They get out the MTBE.

The great thing about any Berkey filter is they are so easy to use. See they are gravity filtration systems. Just pour water in the top cannister and the water flows through the famous filters to the bottom chamber and you get pure water from a spout. Easy as that.

The other thing is the filters are so cheap to use. Elements are cleanable and last for thousands of gallons. They are easy to replace and you can make pure water for just pennies a gallon.

The model you want mostly just depends on how many people will need water. Different models can make more or less water in a day.

These filters can get out most kinds of water pollution and make water taste good at the same time.
