Review on πŸ’§ AQUA CREST Fluoride Replacement Filters by Jason Camarillo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not the same as Berky

I love this product! It is beautifully wrapped and packaged. The rubber fill buttons are way better than the ones you get with Berkey filters. Here the pluses end. I live in Arizona and we have the worst water. I filter the water through the Berkey and then through a second water filter pitcher (zero water filter). Now I'm not a scientist, but I watch what I swallow. Strictly by taste, these filters "soften" the water and don't have a crisp, clean taste at all. I noticed that the seller posted a video about TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). Somehow I can't watch the video. But I'm telling you, my tap water is terrible. It has TDS 800+! When I filter it through a Berkey filter, the TDS drops to around 350+. Then I take 350+ water and filter it through a pitcher of zero water to get clean and tasty water. First thing I noticed is that these cheaper filters filter much faster. That worried me. When I tested the first batch, it was off schedule. My TDS device didn't even read it. The reading was - - - (which means over 999) which means my water TDS needs to be ADDED. After 3 or 4 sips of water it dropped to about 750+. This is just unacceptable for me! If you have tap water with a lower TDS these filters may be for you. Otherwise. I can't say they are as good or even close to the more expensive Berkey filters. I will send these back.
