This idea came to me many years ago after I had been thrown up on numerous times... I really couldn't even begin to guess how many times I've been puked on.

It has been such a life changer here at our cabin. The water had gotten so nasty that we really didn't want to even bathe in it much less drink it or use it for cooking. With our new Berkey, the problem was truly solved overnight!
