13 Feb 2026 A look at the tragic, baffling and utterly interesting stories surrounding these gravity fed water filters! We look at the British Berkfeld filter, how it was licensed by Berkey, who then got their derivative version banned by the EPA. I also discovered the biggest argument for filtering tap water in the form of the worst mass poisonings in British history.

You can get the British Berkefeld from Amazon: https://amzn.to/46toiuv (affiliate link, using it helps the channel from a bit of referral but I have no affiliation with the manufacturer - I bought mine myself).

This channel is all about uncovering unconventional wisdom to optimize day-to-day workflows. I cover all kinds of interesting ideas from custom keyboards, DIY software, outdoor and lifestyle, cars, pocket tools and EDC, interesting workflows around the home, and more. I explore themes of Unix philosophy, intentionalism, ownership, utility, aesthetics and design and, of course, workflow.
