Kathy, some of the noted problems with Berkey is that they are riding on the coattails of British Bekefeld's well deserved reputation for quality products and have caused some confusion for consumers. Their black filters are shoddily glued on their plastic base and they may come apart, as well as leaks from the poorly fitted plugs.
Terracore I don't keep statistics on BPA deaths, sorry., But the health effects of BPA and even the new NON BPA substitutes in plastics, have been a well researched and documented issue that leaves little to argue about. It is said that we all have BPA in our bodies at this point. But it is the accumulation of BPA that represents a health concern. By all means stick to you bottles, you as well as I, are very capable to figure out what are the best choices for ourselves.
