About this item

  • ENJOY GREAT-TASTING TAP WATER EVERY DAY AT HOME- The 2.25-gallon Big Berkey System can be used on a countertop in your kitchen or office to transform tap water into delicious drinking water that's also ideal for making your favorite beverages or cooking.
  • INDEPENDENT TESTING- Black Berkey Elements (the original BB9-2) are composed of a unique, proprietary blend of multiple media types backed by testing from accredited, third-party labs. Black Berkey Elements remove or dramatically reduce over 250+ typical contaminants that could be present in freshwater sources—no electricity, tools, or plumbing are required.
  • INCLUDES AUTHENTIC BLACK BERKEY ELEMENTS (THE ORIGINAL BB9-2)- Don't fall for lookalike filters that use our Berkey BB9-2 model number or trademarks in their titles or product descriptions to legitimize their brand as replacements or "compatible", when they are not. Black Berkey Elements are designed to work synergistically and target specific contaminants that far exceed the reduction capabilities of black filters solely composed of activated carbon.
  • ECONOMICAL, LONG-LASTING- Black Berkey Elements provide filtered water for just pennies per gallon. Each pair of Black Berkey Elements lasts for up to 6,000 gallons before replacement is recommended. Elements may require replacement sooner based upon the quality of influent water. Each additional pair of Black Berkey Elements (sold separately) adds an additional 6,000 gallons of contaminant reduction.
  • THE GOLD STANDARD IN GRAVITY-FED WATER FILTRATION- Authentic Black Berkey Elements are capable of greater contaminant reduction and a longer lifespan than virtually any of the other filter elements on the market. Berkey systems are simple and easy to use and require no electricity, costly installation, or tools, providing economical, long-lasting water filtration for just pennies a gallon.

Customers are mixed about the filtering of the water purification unit. Some mention that they are surprised at how well it filters, that the water does get filtered fairly quickly, and that it does a great job of removing bacteria. Others say that it stopped filtering after six months, and the black filters seemed to be defective. It's a little wet and messy priming the filters, and there is an immediate sediment buildup in the container.

94 customers mention63 positive31 negative

86 customers mention52 positive34 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the water purification unit. Some mention it's worth every penny and the best water money can buy, while others say that it' s not worth the high price, the filters are pricey, and the spigot is ridiculously cheap.

"...Otherwise worth the money and security of drinking filtered water!" Read more

"...Although the filters are pricey, around $170ish for 2, they are worth it in the long run. Using the filter is easy...." Read more

"...It really does what it says it does. It is so much cheaper than a whole house system. Plus you can take them camping and use creak or river water...." Read more

"...It is pricey BUT totally worth it IMO...." Read more

54 customers mention9 positive45 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the water purification unit. They mention that the spigot will not stop dripping, the bottom seal of the main compartment did leak, and a slowly growing puddle of water formed on the countertop. The water is terrible and comes through red, and the filters failed. The downside is that you have to pour in the water and it's difficult to create a sealed dispenser at the bottom edge.

"...There is no o-ring seal, it's a rubber gasket and both the threaded portion of the filter outlet tube and the nut are plastic so you can't really..." Read more

"Moved into a place in Jacksonville, Fla. The water is terrible. Worst I ever had. Purchased this unit and put it together...." Read more

"...(but that's understandable since it's difficult to create a sealed dispenser at the bottom edge). This doesn't mean it's robust...." Read more

"...Those filters are tighter than Fort Knox! Now that it works the spigot leaks!..." Read more

The water you will drink from the Berkey WILL taste SO MUCH BETTER than any other filter and especially tap, I guarantee it! If silk had a flavor it would taste like this water. Everyone (including the kids) in my house is drinking more water because it’s so good! It is pricey BUT totally worth it IMO. It filters quickly even with only two of the filters installed so you don’t have to sit around and wait forever for the water to be available. We have 4 people in our household and it’s the perfect size for us. We use it for drinking water and cooking. I was honestly worried that it would look big and bulky on the counter and make everything feel a little cluttered but it’s a lot more sleek than I had pictured and rather like it! The second picture has a 40 ounce tumbler for size reference. It’s very sturdy and the filters are very clearly excellent quality. The quality of the city water where we live is awful, smells like pool water and tastes like it too. I HATED that my kids were drinking it every day so I splurged on this for the sake of their health and I am SO HAPPY I DID!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2023
My husband and I decided to purchase a water filter after the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment. We didn't want to go with the typical, mainstream brita water filter or the one that connects to a faucet. We have had those before and the filter has to be changed frequently.

We liked that the Berkey filters out forever chemicals, specifically the chemicals spilled during the derailment. It also filters out over 200 contaminants, chemicals and bacteria. Setup was fairly easy, however priming the elements was challenging due to the adapter that fit onto our faucet which was a struggle. The life span of the filters is amazing, as they only need to be changed every 11,000 gallons. Although the filters are pricey, around $170ish for 2, they are worth it in the long run. Using the filter is easy. Once set up, just pour water in the top, put the lid back on and you're good to go. Quality of the materials is unmatched. We purchased a stand off Amazon that elevates the element, which you definitely need. Hoping to get the stainless steel spigot soon to replace the plastic one that came with the product.

Lastly, I have to say the water tastes AMAZING. Like water should taste. It rivals the taste of Fiji, our preferred bottled water. Our family initially made fun of us for spending so much money on a water filter, but once they tasted it they plan on purchasing one. I was never a big water drinker before, but now I find myself drinking lots of it. We fill up multiple containers of it whenever we leave the house. Great product, give it a try!

We love ours!! the water is so clear and I can’t even describe the taste. But it is amazing.
It’s a little pricey, and so are the filters but if you buy bottled water, this is way better for you. I even fill up my plastic water bottles when I’m going to leave the house and put them in the refrigerator with water from our Berkey!
You will definitely need a stand, so go ahead and order one

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023
I am happy with my Berkey.... I had thought about getting one years ago and wish I had because the price is considerably higher now... but it is what it is. The product works as it is supposed to (short of being able to test the water to know how many toxins are removed, we hope) but it doesn't leak. I will probably spend the extra money to get the more substantial spigot as the plastic one that comes with it doesn't seem like it will last for many years.... who knows?
