This device helped me survive the Christchurch quakes
By Marc Rose
Christchurch was recently rocked by a series of two major unrelated quakes. The Sep 4, 2010 7.1 quake did a lot of damage but the 6.3 of Feb 22, 2011 was much closer and shallower and destroyed most of the business district. My home was in the hardest hit Eastern suburbs along the Avon River. Since these quakes began we had almost 1700 aftershocks. My house is still standing although most of my neighbors are not. I had the foresight to buy a Berkey 8 months before the quakes began. My initial thought was that I did not need to store any water as I could take it from the river across the street to purify. But the day of the first quake all the water in the river disappeared and came up a liquefaction in the road and property. The only water left in the river was a white sludge which would have clogged any purifier. I was able to get some municipal water and use the Berkey to purify that. It has been in constant use since the quakes began. Although the city says the water is safe, several friends have reported strange infections they attribute to the water. So, I will continue to purify the water and have not had any of these problems. The water tastes wonderful and makes a drop at a time but fairly quickly. My only complaints are that the instructions were not clear how the washers on the tap go on (they are not symmetrical) so I had a few leaks the first time I used it. Also, the device is called "Berkey Light" so I assumed it was the model that has the LEDs built in to illuminate it at night; it does not. That model is called the Berkey Light LED. The use of the word Light is misleading. Now I wish I could have had the model with the LEDs as power was off for a considerable time. The device looks a bit top heavy and looks unstable but so far it has not fallen over in some large aftershocks. Maybe the company can invent a device to secure it. During the latest quake I didn't have water for over one month. This device is a lifesaver and I am purchasing extra filters for it just in case Planet X shows up one day in the future...

By Vivian B. Good
Have used one in Costa Rica for a year. Bought another for this year. The water comes through clean and pure. However, after 6 months, one of the water filter components came unglued from its base and we didn't have the proper glue to fix it.

By DojoDiva
February 2009: Works great and so much easier than bringing bottled water from the grocery. No need to stock up during hurricane season and no plastic bottles going into the recycling. Makes tea and coffee taste better. Got one for several family members and it takes away the off taste from water out in the country.Update April 2011: The Berkey Light continues to serve me very well. There was a slight glitch a couple of years ago when the upper container developed a crack in the bottom, parallel to the seam. The company replaced it quickly and without question. I only started using the 2nd filter a couple of months ago. So filtering approximately 10 gallons per week the original filter lasted 4+ years. One family member is still using the Berkey Light mainly to make better tasting tea. The other family member who received one as a gift no longer uses it, probably because of lack of space and the inconvenience.
