Crown Berkey System with 2 Black Berkey Elements and Standard Spigot

Bought this to replace tap water. I don't trust the cleanliness of tap water with out some sort of filtration system. This is cheaper then adding a filtration system. Does a great job and has no bad taste to the water.

I ordered the Crown Berkey last year and have been using it since then.It arrived within the specified time in great condition. I had ordered 2 additional black ceramic filters to use in the Berkey and those arrived in the same package as well.It is so easy to assemble..I had it together in less than half an hour.No electricity required for the Berkey to do its job and those ceramic filters last for years with minimal cleanup required every few months.The water from the Berkey definitely tastes better than water straight from the tap.It is easy to refill...although I don't have a sink hose that can be used to add water directly to the Berkey, it is no problem using a jug to add water.Since I have the Berkey kept on my kitchen counter, it is not possible to look into the chamber from above unless I hop onto a chair or something but instead, I just hold the reflective lid above the Berkey to see what the water level is at.The Berkey has already paid itself off. I don't understand how people can continuously buy those gallon bottled water seeing that it all adds up expense wise and also all that plastic is detrimental to the environment.Also, who knows whether that bottled water actually lives up to the claims on the labels.I just need to get 2 Fluoride filters to add into the Berkey and then I will be all set.Everyone should own a Berkey.

Finally I can drink water and feel good about it. I even ordered a travel size one to for emergency use. Def something every home should have. Our bodies are made mostly of water so putting the cleanest kind in you is essential for good quality of life. Worth every penny. Many YouTube videos easy to follow for setup

Berkey Water Filter works well. We now enjoy pure, great tasting water without the outrageous monthly bill we paid for so long to have water delivered. Sorry I waited to try this. It will save a bundle of money over the years. Quick to assemble, then fill it and you're done. Filters out all sorts of hazardous material from the tap water for crystal clarity. You can even purify pond water with it! Highly recommend it.

The water really tastes so much cleaner than normal filtered water. It’s simple to assemble. As you can see, I got the ridiculously large version and we had to get it its own stool to sit on. It didn’t say in the description that this one needs at least 3 filters so I’m glad I bought extra. Definitely worth the cost.

I had previously been buying water from the $.35/gal machines and constantly forgetting to refill my 5 gallon jugs...I LOVE this Berkey! It holds about 5 gallons of water and filters overnight. It was easy to put together and if I want to buy more filters so it filters faster, I can!! The water filters SO clean!!! My husband even suggested we take it with us when we go camping in 2 weeks, so we don't have to pack as much drinking water, but instead, gather it from the large creek that runs through our site...When the Berkey first showed up on my door step, I was a little bit panniked, thinking that I had bought the wrong size... it came in such a small box... but the top canister was nestled inside of the bottom canister, with all the small pieces inside of that... I could not be happier with this awesome water filter!

I’m very happy with this purchase- I did have sticker shock, but if it does what it says it does…I’m using it for everything: us drinking, cooking, the dogs, the plants, coffee and tea. We are very happy.Filter priming- first- for spending $1k on this, include the dang filter primer pump. But, I get it, you need to make as much money off the non “preppers”.Using a plastic water/soda bottle, drill a hole in the cap (1/8” is fine). Fill with tap water. Assemble the filter as directions state, but rather than put to the tap, put the bottle on and squeeze. You will see the filter “sweat” in seconds. Repeat for all filters.This was WAY easier than the “hold to the faucet”. That dumb way shot water everywhere and didn’t have the pressure to “sweat”.This tip should be include in the instructions- especially considering some of the other nonsense included.I like the filter. I like the flavor. I like the peace of mind. I don’t like the hype. Hope this helps.

I bought the Berkey 6 gallon. Filled with tap water, the TDS READER said 489 parts per million aka PPM it reads anything in the water if it’s bad or good anyway I tested the tap water after it filtered through the Berkey it was HIGHER PPM it read 579, it didn’t even clean or filter anything from the tap water, I wanted a refund because my water Berkey wasn’t doing what it said, a message was sent to me and it said, “ you used a TDS reader that doesn’t show bad PPM it’s showing minerals in the water”, I replied “Does the filter have Minerals in it?” The man did not reply to the question just trying to dispute why my water didn’t get cleaned. So I returned it for a refund and guess what they refunded me half of the total. So be very concerned with this product. My Reverse osmosis system filters out everything but 50 PPM a from my tap water. The Berkey should filter out most contaminants good or bad but made it worse. Just shareing my experience! Not good at all. I would’ve give it no stars but it would’nt let me. Stay safe everyone.
