Installed the system this past weekend, and so far it seems to be working very well.!
After using it for a while now, I love the taste, and the convenience, sitting in the corner of the sink area and it’s very easy to use, most of all I don’t have to replace the filter for a long long time to save money.
Highly recommend.

Great product, great company, great service. Iv been using an Berkey system for two years, and I cant imagine how I ever got on without it.
WOW!!! I would give this 10 stars if I could!
If you want the best bottled water taste at your tap, this is for you
Say goodbye to buying cases of water
I have been very impressed with this product. I’ve owned several filter systems before. This one is definitely more superior. The water taste is good. And, best of all, the water is amazing
A Great Filter!
We’ve been using Berkey Water Filters for many years and they’ve all been great! The reason why I’ve purchased this unit was only to replace our old pitcher system from brita which was getting to slow and held less water
We purchased 2 extra black filters, so it produces water quickly.
Best gift we got for ourselves this holiday season
Love our Berkey!
Using this system for 4 years. Do not know what i would be without it!
Love this product. Water tastes great after filtering.
I have been learning about how important it is to keep my body in a slightly alkaline state, and so I really wanted my drinking water to be alkaline.
love the Berkey!
Great service. Fast delivery – Thanks to the customer service team who were very nice.
Great product. Great Customer Service

I can make orange drinks with the clear water these give out!
