British Berkefeld Review (Objective, Data-Driven Comparison)
These filters use gravity to pull water slowly down through the filter into a bottom chamber. But even for a gravity filter, the British Berkefeld is slow. In fact, it had the slowest filtration rate of all the stainless steel countertop water filter systems we've tested so far. Because of this it received a low score of 6.50 in this category.

When the molybdenum filter is selected as shown here it attenuates and blocks much of the bremsstrahlung spectrum above the energy of 20 keV. This results in the spectrum that is most often used in mammography, produced with the "moly/moly" anode/filter combination.

spectrum from the molybdenum target has been modified by the use of a molybdenum filter, which heavily attenuates any x-rays that have energies above its K-edge of 20.0 keY. This is standard practice for a mammographic x-ray unit. There is a large difference between the x-ray spectra before and after passage through the patient.
