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!
I'm not a Berkey salesman but through several months of research via the internet, I'm convinced that the Black Berkey filters are one of the best drinking water PURIFICATION systems available. Their filters purify the water equivalent to distillation and R/O systems and without the required extra energy or specialized plumbing.
As best as I can tell, the black Berkey filters are a
proprietary formulation of more than six different media typesin a solid black ceramic filter that outperform standard white ceramic filters. They are NOT ordinary carbon filters. For more detailed info see:

Yes, the Berkey website does sell units with white ceramic filter. However, their white filters are described:
The Super Sterasyl element, used in British Berkefeld systems, ...(incorporate) pure silver impregnation into the porous ceramic shell ...that encloses a core of activated carbon. See:
