Who Has A Berkefeld?

[Lightspeed]

Beardyman,

Thanks for your reply. This is perfect, just the sort of advice I was hoping for.

How often did you have to replace your filters in Soton? I guess you had to be very careful as infants were consuming from it.

Filters I am using are Super Sterasyl. these are made in UK. I have not come across the black ones you mention. What are they called and what advantage do they offer?

I asked about the cold weather performance as my preps allow for the house to go cold if necessary in winter months and at times I may not be able to stop the filter element from freezing. I was worried that it might disintegrate.

Thanks again. Your fast reply is very much appreciated.

Sad fact is that if/when TSHTF, it'll be water issues that will catch 99% of people out, especially from contamination. I'm fitting a water butt system to the house shortly but, looking at the Berkefeld, may add this as well!

Good move Nix, don't put off acting on this.

As you say water is the most critical day to day issue that will have to be faced if there is a collapse.

But right here and now there are fairly big benefits to using a Berkefeld straight away.

Good luck

We still have it but its in store now for after TSHTF.

Thanks NR

As ever, you've been there, and done it before :-)

Good to hear you used it for so long. How often did you change candles? And did you do so as a function of time in action or reduced output?
