Berkey water filter - as good as they claim?

[R2D2]

Well, i think i nailed a good score at a local estate sale last week. After reading up on it, on a google search, seems the AquaRain model 200 gravity water filter i bought brand new in the box for 20 bucks was an excellent buy.I guess the young'en selling the item didn't know it's value, maybe he did and just wanted cash. I figured , oh well , he's happy, me happy...
It came with 6 ceramic/carbin filter...Wow...! Only needs two, buyer bought 4 extra filters...nice.Readinbg online say's it does a better job then the famed Berkley filters, don't know if that includes the Berkley ..black filters..In any case, i know i got a great deal and hapy about that...! Talking about great deals, does anyone have a link to any website that has replacement filters for the AquaRain 200, not that i need them at the moment...

You can get replacement filters at the AquaRain site.

Unfortunately the filters are made in China and with all their poisonings they seem to do I am not sure I want them to eliminate the pathogens in possibly filthy drinking water. I know that sounds harsh but I try to find more trusted sources for this stuff. I ordered them and ended up selling them after seeing where they are made.
