    The calcium can be cleaned out of the filter by soaking it in vinegar. No damage to the filter and no residue to hurt the user.

    I got my ceramic filters from homespunenvironmental.com
    Pretty much the same as Doulton (silver impregnated ceramic filled with activated charcoal) but dome shaped rather than candle. Price is much better than Doulton or Berkey. They also have a model that removes 99% of virus.

    I don't know, for 2 people its a one time purchase. Plus I don't really know how to build one, plus time and energy spent.
