Also, was it the seals that had the problem or the filter elements? I thought I had also heard about the newer filter elements breaking down, and that Berkey had ‘went back’ to whoever made them or however they made them prior to that newer batch of filtering elements.
I think it was the newer ones, but exactly how new is anybody’s guess. The company wasn’t too good at addressing the problem. Last I heard people were still finding bad ones.
I believe it was supposed to be the glue that held the seals that was breaking down. But again, there’s different stories going around.
