5 Berkey Water Filters #1
Posted by Carol on 21st Jan 2013
I have been using a Berkey Light water system for around four years and I love it. I top off the water reservoir daily and clean the tanks and filters once a month to ensure cleanliness. The water is not only used for drinking; I use it for cooking as well. Even the cats get fresh bowls of Berkey water each day. I told one of my neighbors about the Berkey filter system and he had to try it to believe it. He said it was the best water he'd ever tasted and drank several glasses - then bought a unit for his household. I always keep spare set of filters and and extra spigot on hand. Everything is easy to maintain and replace. I highly recommend the Berkey water filter system. I trust the filtration of the water and the taste (or lack of) is certainly superior to any other water purifiers I've tried.

5 Great Product
Posted by Jeff on 10th Dec 2012
My original tank had 2 (out of a possible 4) filters which was fine, however I just purchased 2 more to speed up the process. I always keep 4 gallons ahead of our needs, 1 gal/day, and want to be able to fill a few 5 gallon jugs for emergencies. Great product, and I have tried many.

I had dealt with another company when I originally bought my Berkey and their customer service was unbelievably bad. This is my second order of filters and they shipped promptly and I will only use you company from now on.

4 Black Berkey H2O Filter Review
Posted by Segmon on 31st Aug 2012
The Black Berkey filters I just received passed the food dye test. I expect these filters will do a good job filtering our city water which leaves you with a terrible taste. The service from the distributor (Get Berkey) was excellent. The original filters that came with the Big Berkey filtration system lasted only two years. On average we only used approximately 400 gallons per year. At that rate I expected the filters to last 15 years as advertised (3,000 gallons per filter). The two year warranty is adequate, however it is prorated. I plan to do more food dye testing periodically to verify the filters are working. I did not purchase the original Big Berkey from Get Berkey. I think they would have been a little more sympathetic since I was only a few days beyond the 2 year warranty.

5 Berkey is the Best
Posted by Nancy on 31st Jul 2012
We started looking for a water filtration system when we received a letter from our local water utility stating for two testings in a row e. coli was present. We researched different systems and found the Berkey to be the best of the best. Our water now tastes sweet and clean and we are confident it's free of contaminants! We highly recommend this system!

5 Home made Berkey
Posted by Ed on 19th Jul 2012
I found instructions to "Do It Yourself" Berkey purification system. While my Black Berkey filters were in transit from Get Berkey.com for only 3 days, I had my water tanks complete and ready to go. The filtered water is great. We are using it daily, but feel relieved in knowing we have an emergency water system if needed. This is great insurance.
