How many gallons will they filter? I don’t see that. On another site they said the Berkey Royal will filter 12,000 gallons, but they didn’t sell the Berkey Light.
I have water softner installed, thus the tap water I get is softened. Some say softened water is not safe to drink due to sodium content – Does the Berkey filteration process make this Softened water safe to drink?

Hi Kate,
Each Black Berkey Purification Element will purify 3000+ gallons of water.
If you put 4 elements in a Royal Berkey (for example,) you’ll get 12,000 gallons of pure water from them.
I hope that helps!
