Royal Berkey Gravity-Fed Water Filter System with 2 Black Berkey Elements Plus Deluxe 10" Stainless Steel Berkey Water View Spigot

The quality of the steel and accessories is so much better than the cheaper options. And the filters actually produce clean water. I'm glad I finally invested in the Berkey, because no alternatives worked for me. I am concerned about buying replacement filters, but I trust that won't be necessary for some time.To be honest, I was most impressed with the instructions provided in the kit. It was easy to set up the Berkey and it filters water much faster than I expected. (And the red dye test worked - they provided dye for that). The container can be full in an hour or so.I have over-filled it a couple of times despite having the gauge spigot thing. (I don't fault the product for that). I regret not getting a metal stand to put it on for a quick wipe up of water spills. It sits nicely on the cube shelf I have, with the spigot hanging over the edge for easy access to water. But when I have a spill I have to move the whole thing to clean up the little spill. (Keep it mind it's too tall to sit on a kitchen shelf with cabinets. It's 19 inches tall and you refill it from the top. The metal stand will add additional height).

I was a little worried by some of the negative reviews, but I have to say this product is far superior than the brita pitcher. The travel size 1.5 gallon is perfect for 2-4 ppl. Got this as a gift for my parents and have been enjoying it for a week now. The water tastes so clean and the stainless keeps it at a cool temp, it reminds me of what perhaps drinking an iceberg would taste like. The taste is so clean and pure it even makes coffees and teas taste better. There is zero rubber taste like a few reviews mentioned (perhaps they assembled it wrong?) speaking of which be very careful screwing in the filters so they don’t strip. The stainless steel water level spout is a must. It does take about an hour to filter, but so far weve been filling it at night before bed and we’ve never run out. Also be careful not to overfill, as it will leak, but it’s easy to see when lower compartment is full simply lift off the top compartment and check the level and you will be able to learn to read your spout leveler quickly. Overall this is a major upgrade from the brita pitcher when it comes to taste and you won’t have to fill it as often and your filtered water doesn’t sit in plastic. Also the filters can last years. Very happy with this purchase should have bought sooner! Product came double packaged and had zero dents or imperfections.

This water filter has been completely game changer for our family of 6! We drink tons of water and I was sick of buying (and carrying ;)) water bottles into the house & throwing them out! This filter is AMAZING! Easy to assemble the filters (as long as you can read directions) and BAM! The water tastes amazing & it has saved us tons of trips carrying those big 40 pack of waters into the house. Filters last so long so you aren't constantly needing to change them out! Even protects from flouride! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We've used this system for six months now on a daily basis. All we've ran through it has been Bottled Water from the grocery store which is already filtered. The minerals in the bottled water were enough to slow the filtration process so much that I'm now having to replace the two elements inside. They do not last as long as the manufacturer claims. Our Brita system works much better and the water tastes way better! Deeply regret buying this unit as it is large and was expensive for what it does! I am Very disappointed with it's performance and it does not live up to their claims! The stainless steel build is nice though and it is easy to use, it just takes longer and longer for the water to pass through the elements to where now it just drips slowly taking hours for one gallon to make it through!

Great product.. use it every day.. filters and system is easy to put together ..excellent tasting water

Our well water has such a sulphuric order, I don't even like to bathe in it. This is the best water I've ever tasted! I'm so happy to be able to eliminate all the plastic bottles from our lives and the planet. This system will pay for itself in a year.

We recently put in our sandpoint well and we did our due diligence and had the water tested. We're a little high in iron and bborderline for a few other things and we'd heard good things about the Berkey so we bought this one! We live off grid so the gravity feed option was perfect for us. We've been using it daily for about a month now and we've had ZERO issues with it! The quality is really good! The flow rate works great for us. We use our Berkey water for drinking (hubby and I plus our K9 kids) and for food preparation. No complaints!! We highly recommend it😎

It works good but it leaks! That said, it was a nightmare to put together!
