Drinking Water Filtration/Purification

We use a "Big Berkey" for all of our drinking water. We have a well and some iron. It removes bacteria, viruses, radiation and many other contaminents. If you use water from a mud puddle you will get water that looks and tastes like great bottled water. We have used our for 100% of our drinking water needs and still use the same filters that came with the unit but we are just filtering iron. A great filter with easy to clean filter cartridges.

I noticed the Sawyer mini does not filter viruses. That could be an issue.

Here are the specs on The Berkey line of filters. They do filter out viruses and much more.

The mini in line filters that do not have activated carbon will not filter heavy metals and some can be to big to catch salmonella cholera etc (.2-.5 micron iirc)

Filters and tablets short term. Tank based sun driven purification system for long term maybe ?
