Well packaged. Extremely excited to use this excellent quality product !

Easy ordering, but very expensive! I don’t recall the filters being so expensive when i initially ordered my 3 Berkeys, but i was unpleasantly surprised!

Love it!

I previous used a Zero filter. Which was good but the filters started to add up and the dispensers would give out after only a year or so. I finally decided to invest in a Berkey and don’t regret it. It’s got a sturdy design and filters that last much longer. The upfront cost will save me so much more money. Plus I no longer use a plastic container for my water which is a massive plus. The water tastes great. I’d recommend to anyone.

Berkey Stainless Steel Spigot

Perfect upgrade

I recently started using a Berkey for camping. I wasn’t a fan of the plastic spigot that came with it. I was surprised to see that there was a stainless steel spigot available from Berkey for the unit. I’m very pleased with it. It looks great on my Berkey! I think Berkey should start putting these on all the water filters.

3 Countries...I can't go back to non-filter water

I purchased this after learning about Berkey from a friend using it in Kenya. I wanted one for Jamaica but I started using Berkey in New York. NY has great spring water but Berkey improved the taste of it. Now I have to purchase another one for Jamaica.

Necessary item

If you own a Berkey you already know this is a must have. Makes getting water so easy. Wish it didn’t cost as much. If I had time I could make one for much less. But time is something they don’t make more of.

Water view, a great help!

I have the Berkey travel and often would run low and not know it. The water view spigot is a perfect solution! The ball sometimes gets stuck in a bubble of air or water. I may remove it the next time I clean the filter, since you can see the water level without the white ball. But that is just a small incidental item that is stated as optional in the instructions. Overall I am very pleased!

Excellent as always

This is my second Berkey. Bought a camper and needed a reliable water filter. Have been using a Berkey at the house for years now so of course I got one for my camper as well. Can get water from any source and know it’s safe to drink.

Amazingly Cool

I am The Gleeful Tattler and I’ve been tattling on Berkey! Great product. Gorgeous in the kitchen. Delicious water cold or room temperature. Soooo glad that I pulled the trigger to buy. Saving a bunch of time and money too. Thanks

Great taste!

I buy the filters to clean anything in the water that may have gotten through the city’s water system. The taste is great! My mother only drinks the filtered water as she can tell the difference too. We’ve been drinking the water for many years now and plan to continue. Thanks for a great product!

Wonderful

Great acquisition, easy to assemble, works great. High quality. Beautiful.

Great filters

We love these filters! They are a great alternative to the Berkey black filters that have been discontinued.

Best Filter I've Owned

Great filter. Way bigger than expected but is perfect for what we use it for. Looks great on the counter.

All good!

It fit my old berkey and working well!

Love it!

It's been about 5 weeks. I am loving my Berkey! No more hauling water or buying water. There it is sitting right on my counter at room temperature just waiting to be poured whenever I need it. The water tastes superior to any you can buy. There is more work to this system but once set up it is minimal and well worth it. It gives me peace of mind to know I have clean water at my fingertips.

Imperial Berkey® Gravity-Fed Water Filter - 4.5 Gallons
Thirsty in Murfreesboro (White Bluff, US)
Good water

The water in town is not very good, and the fridge filter is not a reliable source of clean water. Looking for a better, clean water source, we recently purchased a Berkey because we know others with a Berkey and trusted the quality.

Outstanding decision! The water tastes good, the tank actually holds a lot more water than we anticipated, and it's super easy to use.

Highly recommend the Berkey Imperial for families wanting a better water source. This is the perfect size for our active family of 5, including two teenage boys.

Great

We are very pleased to have these new filters for our Berkey. They work just as well as the Berkey ones.

Love My Berkey – Watch for Plastic Particles When Installing Filters

The overall product is awesome; however, the black plastic threaded portion of the carbon filter and the plastic nut used to attach the filter to the upper tank form an interference fit. This creates plastic debris when threading them together, and the small particles contaminate the clean-water side. I had to thoroughly clean all components to make sure no plastic pieces ended up in the filtered water.

Great filter

It tales a bit of time and patience to install, prime and purge the Berkey. After following the detailed instructions, the water filters great. I recommend this system for your home.
