Berkey water systems banned in California.

[Meat-Hook]

I guess the communists have now even banned water systems. Now they have a law in place similar in nature to "drop tests" for guns.

California, has adopted AB 1953 / SB 1334 & 1395 / HSC Section 116875. This revised “no lead law” as it’s commonly known, goes into effect January 1, 2010. The law stipulates that any “end-use device intended to convey or dispense water for human consumption through drinking or cooking,” as well as each of their individual components, materials and “pipe, pipe or plumbing fittings, or fixtures,” or flux, must be “lead free” as defined by California law. Under SB 1334, certification MUST be performed by an “independent ANSI-approved third party testing organization.” It appears that even if a product and each component of that product has no metal alloys and if a purification system actually reduces lead, under Section 116875, it must be be certified. An example of this is the Berkey sport water purification bottle; each of its components as well as raw materials utilized will have to be certified.

Talk about the land of fruits and nuts! Now take your meds ( Parasites and Floride) and go to sleep!

It's the same thing nationwide. We are regulating U.S. businessess out of competition. Only manufacturers with radical cost/pricing advantages can afford to bring product to market. Little wonder our jobs are going away.

Maybe, maybe...

First I want my monies back, they can keep thier Imperial "Joke".

I bought spare filters and parts, could not find a "bad" review on the web, and tried to do some research....580.00 U.S.D. it cost with the extras.

It never left our kitchen, it was used maybe a month of total time. Not fit for prime time.
