As for water Big Berkey filters will last a long long time. Prefiltering out stuff before putting that water into a filter will make it last longer.
Test your Berkley filter using red food coloring first. They've been having a problem with the seals on the filters failing, sometimes even right out of the box.

Was this problem just on the newer ones or the older ones too? I had thought they were seeing it in the newer (last 2-3 years) models. Especially the ones that are plastic not metal.

Also, was it the seals that had the problem or the filter elements? I thought I had also heard about the newer filter elements breaking down, and that Berkey had ‘went back’ to whoever made them or however they made them prior to that newer batch of filtering elements.
