Question 2

are thes filters made in China if not where are the manufactured;

Accepted Answer

Yes, they are made in Qingdao, China. That is what my box says Also, there is no mention of it removing bacteria or giardia, which would be crucial in filtering non-potable water.

Here is a direct quote from the Berkey water filter site. You will not see anything about these things on the FilterLogic info:
 Our Berkey water filter systems can be classified as a water purifier because our elements actually remove 99.9999999% of pathogenic bacteria (9-log reduction) and 99.999% of viruses which greatly exceeds the standards.

Question 3

Is it normal for the water to taste like charcoal for a while? It's kind of gross.

Accepted Answer

Mine tastes bad too! I primed the filter according to the instructions and then primed it again the next day. I just primed it again a third time for 5 minutes straight and I’m still getting the taste. The filters smell like they taste too. I never had this with another brand. Is this a fluke or normal?!

Question 4
