Work great. Had ours a year
Does not get all the hard water flavor out of our very hard well water but definitely drinkable expecially after a run through a Brita we keep in the fridge. We used to use gallons of spring water to cook with and make ice, not anymore. These filters save us at least 30 – 40 dollars a month. Definitely paid for the filters and royal berkey the first year. We are ordering a new set of black filters and back flushing the old ones so we have a set of 4 for faster filtration. They have slowed over time but still filter well.

Now have 3 Berkey systems, a small portable one for travel, a so called “travel” berkey which I use at one end of the house, and the Big Berkey used in the kitchen, all with black Berkey filters and they are great. It took awhile to wean my husband off his RO unit, but now we are using less water (a RO system runs water through constantly) and he admits the water tastes better plus he is feeling better. Am taking advantage of the current sale to pick up some extra while I can.

We are on a well and have had our Big Berkey for 6 yrs. Only on our 2nd set of filters. It is the only water we drink and it tastes great. Just ordered an extra set of filters. Live in farm country and chemicals concerned us. Had the water from our Berkey sent to a lab for testing. The results were OUTSTANDING!! Absolutely Nothing in our water that is detectable by a lab. No lead, mercury, pesticides, bacteria etc. This Berkey is the best !

We have had our Berkey around 5 yrs now & we love it. I got the wife to quit buying bottled water & drinking solely from our Berkey. With all the harmful ‘stuff’ in our environment, it is nice to know we are drinking safe water with nothing harmful in it. I always keep a small stock of filters just in case.
