Wonderful info, Sick. Thanks so much. I can barely sit on my stool at the sink to fill a cup with regular water, I can’t imagine wiaint longer! Does BigBerkey filter out fluoride like RO?

Yes if you pay extra for the fluoride filters. I've never used one.

For RO you can pay extra for a tank, so water comes out quickly from the tank.

@Sushi and anyone else if you're comfortable saying, what minerals do you take to replace what is stripped out of the water by RO process? I saw Country Life's and juicing of greens. Are there any others recommended that I can read about? Thank you.:)

I just got a Big Berkey with fluoride filters, available separately.

The fluoride filters cause the Berkey to filter water more slowly, but it's no big deal. I'm pleased.
