Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ended up getting really sick because of Coliform bacteria which grew in the filters. This is after replacing the filters within the first six months. So although the filters last for many gallons, over time, even with monthly cleaning of the unit, carbon filters like to grow bacteria. I had unexplained bladder issues for months until I finally had my Berkey water tested professionally. I can't return the unit and I have spent well over $500 on the unit and filters to end up having health problems, and now, no water filter. Now I have learned that these are not even sold in California for the problems they have posed. I guess the store I got this from through Amazon must not be in California.
