British Berkefeld | Stainless Steel Gravity-Fed Water with 2 White Super Sterasyl Ceramic Filter Candles | Refreshing Potable Water at Home, Camping, Off-Grid (8.5L Capacity + 4x Super Sterasyl)

Superb piece of kit. Finally get to drink Yorkshire tasting water in the south. A must have for any serious wild campers 👍👍👍

it leaked and its a bit tricky to stop it leaking i wouldnt advise this

I live in an area that has to deal with the occasional hurricane and am also getting into prepping a bit. So I bought this Big Berkey and use it a lot. We were going to a local grocery store and re-filling 5 gallon water cooler bottles at 29 cents a gallon, which isn't bad. The big hassle was having to go through the process to re-fill them.So I saw this on Amazon, read the reviews and decided that it would be worth a try. It was very securely shipped and did not take long to put together, thanks to some of the previous reviews here.Being a beginning prepper, I learned that the most important thing to have is water so I bought twenty 5 gallon mylar water bags. We filled up all the bags with tap water and now when the water cooler 5 gallon jug is empty we get out one of the 5 gallon bags and run it through the Berkey, and presto so we great tasting water. With five 5 gallon jugs we always have 125 gallons of drinkable water available in the house at all times.The Berkey is easy to use and no one can tell the difference between the Berkey water or any bottled water we have ever bought. At 550 gallons per filter I figure we can get 2200 gallons from the Berkey at a minimum because I am filtering tap water to start with. 2200 gallons is $638 dollars not counting the wear and tear on my car and body, the gas to get to the store and just plain hassle of having to go when you run out.I absolutely love my Berkey and the great tasting water it provides my family.

tres bon filtre a eau , a avoir chez soi ,en inox,cartouche céramique,suite a un probleme d'arriver d'eau potable se systeme ma permis d'avoir de l'eau potable

I think it's a good system. The water tests harder than the average Brita filter but the capacity and ease is great.

This is amazing filters just as described. You'll need to run water through it 3 times and rinse before it tastes good.

I got this because I am tired of worrying about chemicals leaking from plastic, of buying and discarding filters regularly, of wasting money on bottled water, and of our nasty-tasting tap water.I've had it about a month now and we love it. It consists of a bottom tank, a top tank, two filters, and a spigot. It was easy to put together and doesn't leak.Because I have been using plastic filtering containers like Pur, I assumed that you could have both the bottom tank and the top tank filled at the same time, but there is no seal between the two and if you do that it will leak. To keep this from happening and to keep it full without having to open it to look, I measured how much the bottom tank holds and when it's empty, I take the lid off the top tank and pour in that much water(about 7 quarts on my unit). When it has filtered into the bottom tank, I fill up two pitchers and keep them in the refrigerator or on the counter to quickly fill up glasses. (The water comes out of the tank's spigot a little too slowly to quickly fill a bunch of glasses for dinner.)The water can taste a bit flat if you hold your glass right up to the spigot, but if you hold it a few inches down, the water will aerate as it flows out. I have the system on a ledge over my sink so if any water spills over the glass, it just goes into the sink.The filtered water is wonderfully clean tasting. At the rate I was buying plastic filters in the past, this should pay for itself very quickly. And the ceramic filters it uses can be cleaned and used over and over again.Very pleased.
