Rover Bill--
I believe Berkey makes a white (standard) Ceramic filter as well as their black one. Is the black one a ceramic filter impregnated with GAC? Because removing the dissolved solids you describe is something that a good GAC (charcoal) filter can do, but a (white) ceramic cannot. That's why I use both!
Otherwise I want to echo Rover's comments. A little triage, please. The very first thing that's going to harm you are water-borne pathogens which can be quickly and easily filtered out by a ceramic filter, with no fuss or electricity required--and no concerns about dwell time, etc.
As said, charcoal does a great job of filtering out the overwhelming majority of dissolved solids (lead, etc) which can lurk in public water systems. The 97% removal math that is of no value when talking about virii or bacteria is plenty good to save your family's health where lead or other contaminants are concerned.
This is why I filter ALL my drinking water, at home or on the road. Why be some municipal buraucrat's guineau pig?
