Product Description
The versatile Big Berkey system is the ideal system for use at home with small or medium sized families, travel, outdoor activities or during unexpected emergencies. This powerful system purifies both treated water and untreated raw water from such sources as remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries, where regulations may be substandard at best. Perfect for everyday use, outdoor activities and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available. The Big Berkey system removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites entirely and extracts harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, organic solvents, radon 222 and trihalomethanes. It also reduces nitrates, nitrites and unhealthy minerals such as lead and mercury. This system is so powerful it can remove food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can duplicate this performance. Constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel, the system comes complete with four purification elements and utilizes the latest technological advances. This system has a storage capacity of about 2.25 gallons (8.5 liters) and when in use it stands 19.25" in height with a diameter of 8.5". The upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only 13" in height. Configured with four Black Berkey purification elements the system will purify up to 7 Gallons (13.3 liters) per hour.

I was looking for a purifier that would take the nasty taste from our water but leave the minerals. This arrived quickly and undamaged. It was pretty easy to set up (I did watch youtube quick videos on the set up just to be sure I did it right). The spout leaked after the first batch but it was due to my not tightening it enough (used brother for more muscle). You're supposed to toss out the first batch so you don't get any machine taste so I did but I tasted it first just to see, it actually tasted good but I dumped anyway. I've made several gallons since getting it and am very pleased with the taste. This is going to save us money and effort (toting home gallon jugs from the store) in the long run and should pay for itself fairly quickly. It looked small but actually has ample capacity for our family of 3.

I bought the Black Berkey with the intent of using it during a Grid Down scenario so I wanted something that would really do a great job. I'm glad I tested it before having to use it in an emergency situation.
The container is very nice and seemed to be well made, but the black Berkey filters are a different story. I was really disappointed with the filters. While the filters did filter a lot of the red food coloring out. There was still a very pale color that got through meaning you would still have to treat the water. For the price of the Berkey I decided that it was kind of high for something to just filter debris out of the water and then still have to treat it. You can make your own filter much cheaper. Just check out the YouTube videos to find the info.
So I returned the Berkey and filers. Amazon processed the return in a very timely manner and credited my money back promptly. Thank you Amazon!
