Why You Need a Royal Berkey Water Filter in Your Home

Customers worldwide have trusted our Berkey systems for their reliable filtration. Berkey has become a trusted name in over 100 countries worldwide.  

Berkey water filters are usually very versatile products. They were designed for home use and are also portable, making it easy to bring them along on adventures. 

The Royal Berkey Water Filter 

If you need a water filter system for your home that can serve your whole family, the Royal Berkey is a good choice. This filter system is larger than the Big Berkey, as it was designed to accommodate a larger size.

This water filter system was developed in response to numerous customer feedback requests, stating that the Big Berkey cannot meet the water demands of their families. Although they are a normal-sized family, their water consumption and demands were higher than normal due to their unique lifestyle.  

We have listened to what our customers say and discovered that this group uses water for drinking, cooking, watering plants, and caring for pets.

People in this household could also have an active lifestyle, requiring more water than normal.

The Royal Berkey Water Filter was created because people in this group needed a Berkey filter with a much larger capacity.

Like all other Berkey Water Filter systems, Berkey® systems equipped with Black Berkey® Elements dramatically reduce trihalomethanes, inorganic minerals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, VOCs, petroleum products, perfluorinated chemicals, rust, silt, sediment, radiologicals, and more.

Although this is a very powerful water filter, it still retains the healthy mineral content we need. 

Its storage capacity is 12.3 liters, equivalent to 3.25 gallons. Four elements can filter up to 30.3 liters (approximately 8 gallons) of water in an hour. 

The Royal Berkey water filtration system is ideal for larger families and for people who lead active lifestyles and require more clean, healthy drinking water.

Royal Berkey Elements

The Royal Berkey has two Black Berkey Elements. It is more powerful than any current gravity filter element.

Each element can deliver up to 3,000 gallons, so a set of two will give you approximately 6,000 gallons of clean, safe water. That means those two filters could last you for many years, making the Royal Berkey water filter system a good choice for a home filtration system and a smart, affordable option that can help you save money in the long run.

Had to buy it Colorado

I have been waiting years to buy this. But it is not available in California. I am in Aspen for a consulting job and I took advantage to order it here and take it back home. I couldn't be happier I am a Chef and will be using this for all my home recipes and breads. The water tasted very good.

Great product, shipping could improve

Everything we hoped for! The only bummer that it was dented in two spots when we unboxed it

Much Better

We’ve been faithful fans of the Big Berkey for many years. We use it to filter our well water for drinking and cooking. I was having a lot of trouble getting replacement filters and was looking through the different websites. I realized that I could upgrade to the Royal Berkey and it came with filters. It was a no brainer because I was always filling the Big Berkey. With myself, my husband and dog, we use a lot of water. We love the larger volume and it still fits in the same spot.

What a Difference!

We love our Berkey! The difference in the taste of the water is noticeable. Our German Shepherd (very fussy about her water, lol), loves it too! The only issue we had was that we purchased the stainless steel faucet with water level viewing and the first one had to be sent back to the manufacturer. The person that helped was wonderful and their initial solution was that we just take our Berkey apart and wait for the replacement item. Because the part has to go to the manufacturer we were unable just to order a new one and have them credit our card. Instead, we ordered an interim faucet from someplace else, which worked well while we waited for the replacement item.

Best water filtration you can get.

3.25 Royal Berkey Review

We LOVE our Berkey! We had some minor growing pains with setup, but now that it's running well, we're very happy! We watched some YouTube tutorials to redo our set up, but then our Berkey started working perfectly without doing anything.

Years later, even now still very happy

We have had our Royal Berkey now for several years, and have bought additional Carbon and Flouride/Arsenic filters over time as required. The whole family enjoy the water and we use it for all our cooking and watering the plants as well. We are a health conscious family and the Berkey system has been one of the best health investments we have ever made. It sits on its stand in the kitchen and so we never go for tap (town) water. Every home should have one of these! 5 Stars!

The Best for a reason!

I wanted to wait a while to give a honest review. I am in love with my Berkey. The water taste great and to me is well worth the cost. If I have one issue is that my Berkey filters slowly almost a trickle. My set up was done correctly. I thought to disassemble and reassemble and it still trickle to filter. That is my only issue but the water quality is top notch. I would recommend the Berkey and have recommended it to anyone who will listen!

I have already enjoyed water through a Berkey water filter for years and figured my nephew would enjoy one. I am just waiting for more of the Berkey filters to be available.

Easy to set-up; delicious water

The Berkey was very easy to set-up and we love the taste of the water! All around great product - we also bought the stand from Amazon and that was a huge help with keeping our countertop organized.
