Welcome back to Water you can Taste
Before you begin using your Berkey. Take note of the 3 day water rule, Water decays over time.
If water is not refreshed in 3 days throw the water out. Don't leave the Black Filters sitting in any level of stale water. If the filters are left in stale water for days, they can't be used and need to be disposed of.
Keep the filters submerged at least once a day in Fresh Water. Follow the rules for going away if you are not using the system, daily.
The filters soak up the water and hold it within passing through each run of fresh water, leaving the water trapped within the filter is the same way a Jug left for Days or weeks is not Drinkable. Water needs to be fresh.
Water that Rots in the System will create a Brown Ring on the Filter. (Exception; where water is high iron has natural brown staining.)
Water can with the correct methods be store for long periods but not left to go stale.
