Does the Big Berkey remove chlorine from water?

Yes. We have the Royal Berkey with 2 black filters & 2 white filters. The info listed on Amazon for each filter tells you what they remove. Also you can go to the Berkey web page for addition info. We are very happy with the taste & smell of our Berkey filtered water.

Yes it will but you have to buy the "white" filters. It comes stock with two black charchol filters- the white ones are extra but worth the investment in my opinion. I use my Berkey water filter every day and have been very happy with it.

According to the Berkey website, it's a sealed unit so the unit needs replacing. . . no replacement filter is available. The Berkey website also claims a life for this filter of 25,000 gallons, not 10,000 as listed. Also 99% chlorine reduction not 95%, so it seems calling Berkey to get the correct info is in order.

Pool water would contain way too much chlorine. If you ran it through a filter that is capable of removing chlorine you should be fine.

No. Omica states that a large part of chlorine is removed. This is the only shower filter source that I found making any statement about chlorine.

I don't know. I only used it to remove chlorine. You would have to ask the manufacturer.

I recommend googling for the Berkey website and it will give you a description of what is removed since getting the wrong information in this case could be deadly. I have never seen any sort of demonstration of filtering really mucky water though.

Not sure about eliminating all chlorine. My original unit was purchased when we lived rural and had lots of mineral and iron in water supply and it worked wonderfully in that area. I have continued to use since I relocated to the city where our water supply is chlorinated. I am quite satisfied with using the brita 2 gallon ultramax unit going on almost 20 years.

I have no idea - ask them. I love the Berkey and the taste of the water. Since they promote purification I would think it does meet EPA standards. Check out their web site. Hope this helps.

Yes I do. I just purchased one a couple months ago. Our water in our town has so much chlorine content in it that you can smell it in the shower. So, I bought one for our shower head and one for outside hose bib. They both worked wonders. No more chlorine smell in shower, and no more burning and yellowing of plants and flowers. I would highly recommend a Ecoone filter. Hope you enjoy yours as we do ours.

no..no chlorine. It contains hydrochloric acid. I cleaned my toilet bowl with it once about a month ago and the stains haven't come back in the toilet yet. I don't think a person has to use it a lot for cleaning.

No. I use a charcoal filter. It removes almost all the chlorine , no taste or smell in the filtered water. I change it every six months.

I really don't think it does. If you read the description, it says: *Removes Chlorine, Chloramines, VOCs, and Pesticides/Herbicides. My concern was the chlorine since I use it on my compost - chlorine kills the good bacteris. That said, all the other stuff in city water will probably kill me sooner or later! I hope this was at least somewhat helpful. Also, I mentioned in an earlier post, look at both ends before putting it on the hose, the one that does not have the screen should be tipped up when you remove it from the hose after use because the carbon will run out.

I dont havr the sheet with me but i think so. On Berkeys website it will tell you what it filters. I know it does remove alot of taste from it. I live on San Antonio Texas and we have aquafer water. When I drink my girfriends Berky water it has almost no taste at all.

I just assumed it did because Berkey is such a great filter. This is a great bottle. My daughter is in college in Oklahoma City & the water is gross from the drinking fountains...she just fills her bottle & has delicious water to drink. She also took it on a Missions trip to the back villages of Alaska & was able to enjoy pure water the whole time. It is great!! You have to get used to drinking with a harder suck, because it is drawing the water through the filter...but very worth it & soooo convenient.

This portable water filter will not filter fluoride! Berkey does offer fluoride filtration filters that can be added to their larger filtration systems.

It will remove 99.9% of all chlorine, chemicals and heavy metals. Yes, it will.
