My Berkey water filtration system. I got the travel size (1.5 gal). It's efficient enough to filter out food coloring, the water is a perfect pH 7, the water doesn't irritate my mouth sores like tap or bottled water (looking at you, Aquafina!) and the water just tastes better. Plus the filters are rated for 6,000 gallons. I'm better hydrated than I ever was.

    Last year, one of my friends' parents were driving a decent way (around 12 hours) to spend a week in our area around 4th of July. They brought their 3 gallon Berkey with them. It was so big, I initially scoffed, like "That must have taken up so much room in the car!"

    I very quickly understood why they brought it. That was the best damn water I have ever tasted. And I'm normally a big water person, straight from the tap for life, I mostly prefer water over other beverages, but this water... Idk, maybe they put some kind of undetectable addiction agent in their filters.
