Apparently the Big Berkey black filters had manufacturing problems from the end of 2010 to mid-2011, as noted on APN and SB. That sucks for people who thought they'd buy the Berkey system and put it away for SHTF: right when they need it, it might be unusable!
I'm glad I tried mine, which I got in April before the price hike, because one of the filters busted. However, I have the additional problem that I have several units that I gave to family members for put-away purposes, so I need to go through the hassle of having them check. Or perhaps I should just supply a tube of silicone caulk, although somehow I doubt that's food safe....
