FROM THE LAB...
Dive into Our In-House Review
Berkey Filter Review for ultimate, quality water.
The quick & dirty summary below...
This gravity-fed water filter comes with a sleek stainless-steel design that removes 99.99% of viruses and pathogenic bacteria.
Inside the stainless-steel container are at least two black purification elements, each of which has a life of 3,000 gallons (so 6,000 gallons per set of two).
The Berkey Water Filter has an exceptional filter flow rate—the smallest model filters at 2.75 gallons per hour, and the largest model filters at 6.5 gallons per hour. And, of course, the quality of water produced is unparalleled.
To find something that we don’t like, we had to be overly meticulous in our review of the product.
First, setting up the water filter may prove to be a little bit tricky for some purchasers. It’s doable, but it may take some time and multiple reads of the instructions.
The only other thing we can find to complain about is determining exactly when to replace the filters in terms of actual time, not water usage.
Together, two purification elements are designed to last 6,000 gallons, but most people aren’t counting their gallons, so we wouldn’t mind a time-based reminder of some kind on the unit.
Anybody who wants clean, great-tasting water with NO hassle. The Berkey Water Filter has many uses depending on the size purchased. It looks great on your countertop. And with one of the larger models, families could literally live off the grid filtering rainwater or other sourced water. This filter is perfect for the following:
- Quality, long-life water filter
- Economical water filtering solution
- Low maintenance
- Everyday use
For anyone who needs a reliable, fast-filtering, long-lasting water filter, this should be your first choice.
The Berkey Water Filter is a well-established gravity water filter with thousands of past purchasers vetting the product. Once set up, the filter is easy to use and consistently produces clean and tasty water.
The clever design of the two black filters inside the stainless-steel exterior provides thorough filtering of water, removing 99.99% of harmful substances.
The result is water that still has all the healthy minerals you want and costs only 2 cents per gallon.
Furthermore, the filters last for up to 6,000 gallons for the two-element filter.
The Berkey Water Filter offers everything a prospective buyer would need.
The filter is cost-effective, well-backed by previous buyers, and reliable in its filtering.
Once this filter is set up, it requires minimal maintenance and will produce clean water for years.

FULL IN-DEPTH BERKEY REVIEW
Read Our Full SoftPro Elite Water Softener Review Below:
After having reviewed numerous water filters, we have a scrupulous eye for picking out quality products. We understand good design and functionality. We know what kind of filtering capacity, flow rate, and life a top-of-the-line water filter should have.
Most importantly, we know what potential customers want in a water filter. If you’re convinced, check out this full review below to see why you should purchase a Berkey Water Filter.
Everything. This filter ticks every box on any buyer’s list.
Everyone who uses water filters knows the importance of a quality filter. A water filter that consistently removes 99.99% of harmful contaminants, for 6,000 gallons, is astounding.
This filter is perfect for countless environments and scenarios. The Berkey Water Filter is often used in areas where local water is untreated, off-grid locations that use well or stream water, or in emergencies where clean water cannot be sourced.
Anybody who does not have clean, reliable drinking water will benefit from this. You should use a Berkey Water Filter if your local water supply has issues with lead or other heavy metals, if you use a cistern, if you use rainwater, or if you just have questionable municipal water.
The filter will ensure you always have fresh and healthy water available.
Unlike other water filters on the market that require electricity or plumbing, the Berkey Water Filter uses gravity to filter the water. Water placed in the top chamber is pulled through to the filtering elements. Depending on the model and setup purchased, the water may filter through two or four filtering elements. .
As gravity is the force used here, the water has ample time to stay in contact with the purification elements. However, compared to many other gravity-based systems, the Berkey Water Filter has an exceptional filtering flow rate
No more waiting all day for a few glasses of water. The smallest version of the Berkey Water Filter can filter 2.75 gallons per hour.
The largest model can filter 6.5 gallons of water per hour, which is truly an exceptional rate.
The Berkey Water Filter is a powerful filter that can purify water from any source. Whether you collect water from a nearby lake or river, or you have water from a tap, the Berkey Water Filter can handle it all.
The purifying components utilize adsorption to pull out any harmful compounds. The Berkey Water Filter uses the ideal calculated flow rate to ensure all the harmful substances are removed, while still providing quick and efficient filtering.
The Black Berkey purification elements are widely considered to be the most effective and powerful filtration elements available.
The Black Berkey purification elements are widely considered to be the most effective and powerful filtration elements available.
The purification elements have a microporous interior which allows for the most efficient purification possible. Not even small viruses and bacteria can pass through the pores. These elements have been tested by EPA accredited laboratories to pass the NSF/ANSI Standard 53 tests.
This filter is proven to remove 99.999% of viruses and pathogenic bacteria. Plus, the filter can remove or effectively reduce the following substances to well below the necessary levels.
- Microorganisms
- Inorganic Minerals—chlorine residual and derivatives
- Heavy Metals—aluminum, nickel, barium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, and more
- Pharmaceutical substances
- Pesticides
- VOC's
- Petroleum Products
- Rust
- Silt
- Sediment
- Radiological substances
- Protozoa
- Trihalomethanes
- Perfluorinated Chemicals
The Berkey Water Filter removes an extensive list of compounds and substances, which allows it to produce fresh, clean, and healthy water.
As a test, users can place food coloring into the top chamber holding the water. If your water filter is working properly, all the food coloring will be removed, and you’ll see clear water coming out of the filter. The Berkey Water Filter is the only water filtering product on the market that can do this.
Another added benefit is that these filtering elements can be cleaned. If you notice the flow of purified water slowing, you may want to clean your Black Berkey purification elements. All you need to do is pull them out of the filter and brush the inside out.
Berkey recommends using a ScotchBrite pad with running water. Once cleaned thoroughly, reinstall the purification elements, and you’re ready to go!
SMART DESIGN
Designed to last. Designed for value.
The Berkey Water Filter is extremely reliable, durable, and long-lasting. As the products are of the highest quality, they can last for multiple years, depending on how much they’re used.
Each black purifying element can effectively filter 3,000 gallons. Since most of the models come with at least two of the filtering elements, each filter can purify 6,000 gallons before any parts need to be replaced.
What’s even more impressive is the calculated cost of each gallon of water filtered. Berkey Water Filters purify water for roughly 2 cents per gallon, much cheaper than many competitors. If you were to buy bottled water at the store, you’d be paying about $1.50 per gallon.
Thus, a Berkey Water Filter offers one of the most, if not the most, economical solution to clean drinking water you can get.
Berkey provides the following warranty categories depending on the specific product:
NMCL Limited Warranty: 6 months
