Love our Berkey
Sep 15, 2017
We live offgrid, and have a well. We have used our Berkey going on five years and have never had a problem with the filters. I just ordered New ones and hope they will do well. My sister and Bruce purchased Berkys as well and love them. They both live in Flint, Michigan.

I have 2 Berkey Filter systems. One is used for raw water and the other for city water. After 3 years I had to replace the filters. Now my systems are running as good as new and I am back traveling the country - Thanks.

Our filters also came apart after about 4 months of use when I cleaned out the upper tank. My husband bought a silicone epoxy product from the hardware store that was clearly labeled for potable use. It resealed the filters very quickly and we will see how long this lasts. We use our Berkey in a vacation cabin, so it does not get continuous use. Our well water is very hard with a lot of iron, so the filters do an amazing job on purifying the water to make it drinkable and pleasant. Before, it had a very metallic taste and was discolored. The Berkey was worth every penny. It is a shame the filters are not sealed better to withstand time.

We bought our Berkey Light with our first George W. Bush rebate check. We just received our third set of black element filters. My husband keeps our filters cleaned with a fresh green scrubbie. We will keep you updated after we try the new set of filters. We love our Berkey Light!!!!!!!!!!

The best filters I have ever bought

This product is great. Our water is horrible to say the least but with this Berkey we have good tasting water.

I bought a pair of the elements and built my own 'big berkey' using plans at http://www.alpharubicon.com/kids/homemadeberkeydaire.htmWe have a cabin on 20 acres of forest in N. Wisconsin. Rather than deal with the expense of a well, we now have begun collecting rainwater and filtering it using this homebuilt filter. As a test, I took 5 gallons of stagnant frog pond water, ran it thru a sheet into another bucket to remove bugs and tadpoles and other large things, then dumped it in our homemade berkey. Crystal clear, delicious drinking water was the result.Highly recommended. If you don't care about the cosmetic end of things, build your own. If you want something prettier, buy the 'official' Berkey.
