Be careful with distilled water. Because it contains no minerals it will also flush minerals out of your body. A Berkey will allow some of the needed minerals through.

Yes, a mineral supplement is always a good idea. That is why I would only distill VERY questionable water - otherwise filtering would suffice.

We have 2 55 gallon food grade barrels. They will be used to catch rain water. The downspouts from the roof gutters will be modified to drain into the barrels. Note, this is just a supplemental supply to the creeks and streams that run though the property.
In the country, water is easy to come by. Not so in the cities.

I use Aquacera ceramic filters.
Cheaper than Berkey and made in the US.
(2) 5 gallon, food grade buckets from the bakery (free) and a $5 spigot from Ebay and I'm good.
