Berkey Water Purifiers
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.
