- Water. We kind of need it. What's the best drinking water in the world. Today I'll compare the pros and cons to each water purification system, and which system I ended up buying for my home. Berkey vs distilled water vs reverse osmosis vs natural spring water that you collect yourself at a local spring.

Vegetable Police i love you
I put kettle water into the distillation machine, it takes half the time coz it needs to be boiled anyway
Tap water gave me aids
Vegetable Police I am saving up for one of these! I heard about berkey from a home health summit webinar that I watched, I want one for my shower and bath tub as well! Thank you for the review, makes me more motivated to keep saving!! 😁. I can smell the chlorine in my tap water and I just know it’s bad...💜
@juntao11 I can sit through VP I don't like the other info commercials.. love this guy
Never thought I would enjoy a video about a guy talking about water so much
He's Seinfeld's neighbor.
Same!!
Okay, so I'm not nuts😂
Same here!
Just drink water straight out of the toilet like a normal person.
Thousands of dogs can't be wrong.
What !!! Just me 🤷♂️
WUHauhauah xD But actually you're right :P Here in the Netherlands a lot of toilets have A-water, which is just normal drinking water :P They are changing that now however.
OMG!!! That was hilarious... I had a good long laugh...
That's why they have the cleanest mouths.
😆yuck!
Juicy Smoothie Fruity Boy Are they changing it?
Duuuude!! I've been searching the internet like crazy and reading tones of articles about Ro VS Distilled VS whatever....and couldn't find something that would definitely help me decide what would be best...until I stumbled upon your funny as hell video! Thanks man! Keep up being weird in a good way! Take care :D
Yess👑
DISTILLED WATER IS THE BEST I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH.
@@code5829 I drank only distilled water for 3 years one time 😎
However the berkey is better imo because it does allow some essential minerals through. After these experiences my body says yes to berkey
But distilled water can be very useful if you're trying to achieve certain results 👊 just not ultra long term😄
sameeeeee
@@j4m32hz6 why not long term ?
Just the video I was looking for, and automatic sub for answering the question right off the bat, unlike other videos that take forever to get to the point, or never even answer the question at all!
Glad you made this video, I'm literally researching diff brands now. This helps
This guy is awesome! I love his delivery. Keep it up!
I prefer to get my water naturally from jack Daniels I'm sure there's water in there somewhere.
shaun raymond add a six pack and get yer beer vitamins too 🍺
Jack Daniels is distilled flavoured water.
Bought some monk water called white beer today.. It's amazing light full of benefits
D Teun never heard of it, is it in Canada? When I do drink beer (rarely these days) I buy beer made with spring water that follows the german purity laws.
@@alicenope6603 it's from Germany 😀
been waiting for this video, thanks vegetable police.
I was just looking for a Berkey review, but i found a new source of entertainment. You're hilarious dude, I Iook forward to watching more of your videos.
I use distiller BUT I mix it with powdered plants to restore minerals and life force, it's a good combo.
U must have rock hard erections
The recommendation on the Berkey website is to change filters every 6 months to a year I believe. It depends on your usage though. We have a Big Berkey and are a family of three and go through a LOT of water - we fill it twice a day usually. Another con is just cleaning and flushing the filters - it just takes time. But still it's the best filter out there, so we just keep using it. We also use their shower filters, not just for our shower but also for our RV water hose and even the hose to water the garden. We love the berkey filters.
How often do you flush the filters and clean?
Good information. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be buying one!
Your videos are well made.
watched 2 hours of your vids this evening.... very educational and entertaining... Will look into the Berkey now...
Your general charisma is very fun. Thanks for all the humor while discussing the best water.
So happy to see your channel has grown quite a bit. well deserved! you always make me laugh and provide real ass information, thanks Bro!
yay! I shelled out for one last year & then felt some buyer's remorse...time to set it up again, good to hear from a fellow Berkey buddy!
Always so funny randomly finding a creator you know from one topic, with a channel for a different topic.
I know you for your hilarious and informative videos about camera gear, and now for all things health related!
This is truly the BEST youtube review about anything I have ever seen!!!
Man, you are so comical!!!
Ur my new fav youtuber, im also highly health aware
Excellent video! 😊
awesome video! natural & honest! good job vegetable police!
I love your delivery method !! You made me laugh.
You are brilliant! I enjoyed your video so much.
We’ve owned our Berkey since 2011. Absolutely love it!!! We love to keep a little storage of water. So I don’t constantly have to fill it. We use the bottled water for cooking and the Berkey for drinking. You can buy the glass milk jugs, don’t toss away the cap keep it... and use them to store for cooking. We use the chocolate glass bottles for filling water and the red for the cooking! Best system ever for delicious water!
Do you use the Berkey filters or an alternative
It says on berkey’s Instagram page that you should use the water within 2 days, after that the water could become stagnant
@@samk7717 👍 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
looking at current water purification methods for my final year university project. This was somehow funny and really informative, cheers pal.
Great video, Thanks for the information !
I drive 4 hours to hot springs AR and go to the natural public springs to fill up large water containers that last me about 6 months at a time. Well worth it. Best water I’ve ever had.
How much water do you need to last you six months?
Richard Austin a lot
@@richardaustin939 sorry, I never saw this comment, it’s more like 3-4 mo actually for a family of 4, just cooking and drinking. I fill up 10 7 gal aquatainers that you can find in the camping section at Walmart.
I’ve had a travel Berkey with Flouride filters since July. I have traveled from NY to Texas and NY to Connecticut with it. It was worth the time to unscrew. I’m impressed that you finally got one. It was interesting getting your take on Kangen. I can’t drink any other water besides Berkey water anymore. It makes a huge difference. I actually try to rinse everything with Berkey water too so flouride isn’t on my dishes or produce. Great video. I’ve never been more impressed with a health video because this is incredibly important. Probably the most important video for health. It all begins here. I have done 6 - 5 day water fasts with this water since July. It has been a lifesaver. I’m down like 20 lbs, I’m feeling better than I have in year. This is really good stuff. And you’r water does come out more alkaline. Which is good.
Definitely going to get the berkey! Great review - best one hands down on water. Subscribed for knowing what you're talking about and being funny about it. @5:48
my town fluoridates water so I used to buy "purified drinking water" from Target or Walmart (with about 6 ppm of "minerals"). When the shelves became empty last year, I considered Berkey but, remembering all the lugging of water I opted for an APEC RO system ($300 w/ fittings & hoses). It has a mineralization cartridge that adds calcium (carbonate?) at about 20 ppm. It tastes good, and doesn't dehydrate. I think you are right about adding lemon though. Great video!
I'm genuinely in love with your chat😂😂😂😂 now I'm interested in water
Excellent video, you should do more of them. Apologies if you have.
Excellent dude 👍
This is some good gravy, thank you 🙏
i only drink distilled water for the past 8 years.. i am not drying out... my lips are fine :x
Same here 2 years in ... torally fine and hydrated
Likewise. I dont tell anyone about it though, it gets ugly really quickly. They become experts and regurgitate what they have been told
@@Hakuna_My_Tatas been there many times my friend , leave em to their fluoride 👍
Thats interesting... Ive been on DW for a few months and i do ge the dryness in taste but also in skin. Maybe everyones different...
Going on 3 years strictly DW and really do think its important to add back electrolytes/minerals.
I put my distilled water in glass containers that contain Shungite stones. It makes a positive difference to me and I'd recommend Shungite stones in your water weather it's distilled or otherwise.
Where do u buy then? I got what was elite but a year later the shine wore off so sus.
It’s been 3years do you still do?
DISTILLED WATER WITH SHUNGITE STONES OR REMINERALIZATION IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN BERKY REPLACEMENT FILTERS NOT TO MENTION THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON IT.
Great info dude!
You are HILARIOUS. I also fully appreciate the info, but had to say that you have me cracking up!
I've been drinking distilled water for years, I don't drink the 3 - 4 liters like they recommend I just drink maybe 2 3 glasses a day. I'm personally never really thirsty, maybe this is because I eat mostly fruits/veggies and drink herbal tea? Or maybe my body is just great at staying hydrated. Although when I was eating gluten I was always frikken thirsty!
I personally find less water better because as you said the minerals are what you're looking to get, so as long as your eat the right foods you should be fine. Although supplementing with something like ConcenTrace or other minerals (especially magnesium, iodine and selenium) may be a good idea considering most fruits/veggies nowadays is stripped of the good stuff like that due to shitty soil.
I must say I also think its bullshit about distilled water removing minerals, I don't believe it removes organic or inorganic minerals, the body does that part and it simply uses the water as a means of transportation. Obviously when you want to help the body remove shit then water with nothing in it is the best idea, that way it has space for the shit your body wants removed. Anyways that is my 2 cents on the distilled water part but I personally believe if you are really thirsty then maybe you need to figure out why that is before drinking a shit ton of water of any kind.
I love your personality!!! So funny and smart 😙
Best video on water filtration....very entertaining...
Came for the facts subscribed for the quality and entertainment value of the content. ✌️💚🖖
Thanks Kasey... I just got the very same Stainless Travel Berkey today... I haven't quite got it set up yet, but glad to see you have the same one. I was worried when I saw how tiny it is, but now I feel better when I see yours. I also got the stainless spigot and both filters... Mine cost Canadian $490.00 so I guess the price has gone up.
Your videos are pure entertainmet & knowledge at the same time, great work bro
Thank you for all the information about water. I have been waiting to have enough money for the Berkey. Been thinking about getting the Big one, but I really think I can get away with the travel Berkey.
I agree about what you said of distilled water. I drank it for years and now I don't think it really knows between organic and inorganic minerals. Feel much better and got rid of my very expensive distiller. Right now I am just buying water from the store, can't wait to get my Berkey! Thank you!
Great video bro, I love your humour
Educational and entertaining.. it doesn’t get any better than that 😁👍🏿
You’re ridiculously funny and professional at the same time! I don’t even know how u’re able to pull it through! Thank you! I wouldn’t worry about “sitting” water in Berkey because it mixes up as soon as you pour next batch of water. Unless you don’t add nee water for months.
one of the best your videos...
Yep I've had the berkey with flouride filters. So good
I couldn't agree more!! you're genius !
I love it as always. I like that hairstyle.
Dang I thought I was a health nut because I only drink water from my fridge filter. Oh well I am a loser.
Dude, you're hilarious. I came for a few tips after quickly skipping through the vid... but I ended up staying for the perfect delivery and deadpan quips.
God that was enjoyable bro. I learned about exactly what I wanted and I wasn't board as with other informational videos. You kept my interest and had me laughing. Thanks
Well done !
I just started looking up water filtration systems for use at my Dad's house. The original house burned down and the new well was moved from the original position. Not the same water at all. Ugh. The original well produced what I am convinced was spring water. This well is high in iron and to me has a sodium taste. Yet to be tested. Thanks for this video. Very useful and entertaining as well! Kept me laughing through the whole video. Will put the Berkey on my list of possibilities.
I love the texture of water that comes from my Berkey. I call it "smooth water." I bought some glass bottles on Amazon, and I keep a few bottles of smooth water chilled in the frig.
Brilliant sense of humour...I laughed my ass off but I loved the entertaining review, thank you !!
I bought the Imperial Berkey! Yep, the big bad boy! Love it! It does not matter if it does not drain because as you pour new water in it all gets mixed in. As far as it plastic filters they would have to get hot to leach out into the water.
Love your video. Laughed the entire time!! That you breaking down some information. I’ve been wanting the Berkey forever just afraid that it won’t get all the impurities that are in my water municipality. And didn’t know what’s better to do. Currently but spring water that I found they also use ro on it.. crazy business. I AGREE about getting hydration from food!!! Best advice ever. I tell people that I eat lots of fruits and veg and drink less water and feel hydrated. Interesting about feeling dehydrated drinking certain “dead” water. But does make sense because of the natural minerals being depleted and ph being low.
*Thank you for breaking down*
Yooo you're weirdly entertaining..I enjoyed your serious jokes along with review, keep up the good work... USA welcomes you...💪🏾
I currently addicted to Watermelon. Therefore, water is irrelevant to me.
Watermelon and grapes only for me. That's about 5 litres a day of just fruit. I drink 0.5l distilled when going to the gym, that's it.
Yeppp
@@user-kn3jh5gb9h I prefer cow's blood but whatever floats your boat
BluffMunkey All that sugar is what’s making you “addicted” i would be careful term tho.

You're calmly hilarious. Subbed.
love it!!!
Thanks VP! I’ve been looking for a trustworthy review of the best filtration system. I’m in Wisconsin, during the winter taking my glass gallon jugs to the store to refill them with reverse osmosis water gets pretty tedious.
You are hilarious and thoroughly entertaining! Love your content! How do you use celery juice as flavorful salt replacement ?
You're hilarious and very informative. Thanks so much for this video!
Smart and funny. I like.
Lol You are hilarious! Never thought water filtration review can be entertaining.
😂 this is my favorite flavor of comedy!
I have an 11L jug that I fill up at the grocery store with RO water. No complaints here. It's a great work out too! Also, dont forget to thank your water and give it some love before drinking it. 😉
Make sure your bottles are BPA free. The RO water bottles are nasty. Hard pass for me.
Research “BPA’s”
I have a Big Berkey. When the water no longer pours out of the spigot, I take the top off and dump the unfiltered water down the drain, putting the part with filters upside down in the sink. I then pour the rest of the filtered water into a glass container until I use it. Reassemble the Berkey and fill up with faucet water 💦 to be filtered. Hope this helps you.
You could easily modify that berky so the plastic dosent sit in the water using a peace of steal stove pipe to raise the top half above the bottom water line . They are usually tapered at he ends like the berky is .
LOL I laughed a good one at 12:27 your reflection in the Berkey tank
I was search for a water filter and I believe I'm getting a Berkey just because of this dude!!! lol
Saw you on Josh X’s channel and I randomly stumbled across your video. No coincidences 😉
you deserve this sub
"Water is not hydrating" - vegetable police 2019
You hear everywhere that you have to drink lots of water. So I did, I drank up to 3 or 4 liters a day and felt tired, got headaches, poor appetite.. Some time ago I reduced it to 2 to 2.5 liters of liquid a day and I feel much better. Guess it depends on the person really. The same goes with breakfast, everyone says you need breakfast etc. It made me tired and so on.. Yes, I tried different foods. Without breakfast it's okay for me, but I know lots of people who literally can't walk properly without
Water does flush out electrolytes but by definition it is hydrating. VP is anti salt though.
@@juripopov6747 I've never heard anyone recommend that much water. I've always heard 2 litres a day.
Better to say "Too much water isn't hydrating". The body seeks homeostasis; a place of chemical balance. When you drink a lot of water, your blood begins to dilute and salinity goes down. The body automatically excretes excess water to regain proper salinity; but then excretes more than necessary, so you wind up dehydrated. It's like a pendulum, which doesn't just stop in the middle but swings to the other side. So then you drink more water to recover what you peed out.
If I drink more than 2 liters of water a day, I'm in the bathroom all day. Everyone's different, I reckon, on how much water you need.
Hi KC! Good show, loved it! (Camera Conspiracy favorite ;) ) Also important subject.. Just a note. I drink RO water more than 10 years now, and the kit is a US brand I use. The whole system is under 200USD and the yearly filter change is approx. 40USD (of course in my country's money) So, its not that expensive, what You mentioned. But, of course there are several brand and the price limit is the sky...
Also, the water pressure at the tap depends on the whole water system's pressure. We've got 6 bars or ATM (~90PSI), and the filter reduces it to 4 bars or ~60PSI. So it is quite fast :)
Anyway... the point is, we have to drink clean water. And don't listen to others! Dont drink from the toilet! It is not clean! :D Dogs are wrong.
This guy is awesome 👏
You are truly brilliantly funny you should definitely have your own comedy show I'm still laughing with the added wisdom of all your information of course
Great Vid! Ever look into Alexapure Pro? I believe it filters everything the Berkey does... without the added flouride filters.
I use this system, its actually a good thing that the filter does not starts from the very bottom cause many tap waters consist of some small parts that stay at the bottom cause they are heavier than the water (I have some rust residue from the old pipes) and its not a big deal, the water at the bottom does not stay still and becomes old because you fill it every time with more water... you do have to clean the whole system every few months (also to scrub the filters with a scoth brite)
Yeah, in my David Icke following stoned 20s I drank nothing but bottled spring water to avoid fluoridated tap without realizing that spring water probably has higher concentrations of fluoride than all other bottled waters, lol. I talked to a guy that worked in city water purification and he said the best water to drink was probably commercial bottled water (reverse osmosis with added minerals) so I switched to Aquafina and actually loved the taste but hate all the plastic and the fact that I'm paying like $60 a month for water. So today I decided to pull the trigger on a Berkey and I can't wait to try it out.
Also, this is my first time seeing your channel and I absolutely love your vibe man, haha. I'm hitting that subscribe button!
Love this, back to the old veggie police who helps us with the best course of action! :O) xx
You are HILARIOUS my friend 🤣 LOVED this video review thank you!!(= I just got a Berkey excited 😁✊🔥 stay safe&happy!!(=
What is the aluminium content of water due to fluoride filters?? You are up for heavy metal detox, so have you tested your berkey water for aluminium content??? I am also thinking of getting a berkey, your test result will help me deciding on that.
I think I enjoyed this video a little too much. You're a fun guy, love your personality.
I'm thankful for finding you because I needed a new goal in life, so I'll be watching your older vids.
We've had our Berkey for years & love it for sure! You're right, they don't do a lot of marketing, maybe they're trying to market to the ones who will search to the 10th page on Google 🤔😂
I bought an RO system on Amazon for cheap, it was less than $200. I installed it myself, it works great. It turned my yellow well water to clear sparkling great tasting water.
Great video man. Does the berkey filter out calcium (our water is hard as nails)?
Also, have you heard about the Spring Aqua system….I actually found your video searching for that 😬 glad I did 🎉
I have a distillation system but i agree with you after hearing the information you provided. Cooking the water destroys everything. We're not supposed to consume fire (for the most part).
I think You can find (or made?) some step ring between this two parts, so that fluoride filters will be no more in clean water.
Yeah I’m eyeballing this for sure. And a con you mentioned a little bit of water left but you refill it so that water mixes in with all the new water pour 🤷🏻♀️ it’s OK
You are spot on about distilled water. I started drinking it and went to the sauna for like 45 minutes. That distilled water didn't help hydrate me after that. I was drained and had no energy for like 36 hours. Had to drink spring water to recover.
Distilled water tastes amazing though 😒
You have to add minerals back in.
@@ivyfeenix thanks! I have since learned that electrolytes are far more important than drinking water when using a suana : )
Pretty much my conclusions as well. Distilled might be ok in the short term to remove some toxic metals and chelated compounds. I also found after a few months on an anti-fungal diet and supplements, and my inflammation and kidney function improved, that even moderate amounts of salt does not cause me to feel thirsty.
You’re hilarious! My Berkey came in dented (I paid full price!). Loved your video.
Love your work. 8 years distilled water. My vote DW. Cheers. Pete. Australia
That is a good informative video have you also found a good filter for the shower?
