Imperial Berkey Gravity Fed Purification Elements Review

When I opened the box, I first pulled out the lid with a baseball-sized dent just in front of the logo. Installation was easy, but blowing out the filters was such a painful and frustrating step. It tells you not to "touch" the filter, but how else you will install it after blowing it out. After a day of filtering, I decided to buy a water tester. The readings for my tap water and "filtered water" were the same. I'm not sure if my filters are broken or if my reader is broken, but now I think…

A bit pricey but again I'm willing to pay for health. I found a really good deal here and what I paid seemed better than most. The water is great and it filters faster than I thought if you fill the top reservoir at least half full. Because gravity feeds less water, this means slower filtration. I only have two black filters and at the moment it's enough for a simple family of 3 with daily visitors. I fill the top container at least twice a day and always have water available. I was worried it…

Expensive. But IF it delivers on its promises, it's cheaper than using jugs and their filters. Our tap water smells like it comes from a swimming pool.

In the end, however, it simply mixes with filtered water. It took about 2 days to install and fill. There are only

After seeing one in action at a friend's (and trying the superbly filtered water) we bought this Berkey filtration system. After doing a lot of research into existing brands of water filtration systems, it became clear that Berkey was the best fit for our needs. We drink a lot of water in our home (2 adults and 2 active kids) and have always struggled to keep topping up the little ol' jug of filtered water throughout the day. Now we flood Berkei at night and have clean water all next day. It's…
