We have a Berkey setup in our kitchen. The whole family loves it. The kids drink more water than ever now, they call it "sweet water". It actually does taste sweet, unlike the chlorine flavor that comes from the tap. The reason against the distilled water, from what I understand, is that you end up with "hungry water" that can leech minerals out of your system. Best h2o I've had since the well water I grew up on.
