Crown Berkey for More Water Needs:

Most municipal water utilities use chlorine to treat their drinking water. It is very effective in killing bacteria, easy to use, and inexpensive.

However, although chlorine is a very effective water disinfectant, it can make drinking water taste and smell unpleasant. It can also react with some organic substances in the water to form a hazardous compound.


The Water Filter That You Should Get

Our water filters provide the most effective removal of waterborne contaminants. Our products are now used worldwide. In fact, due to their efficiency in filtering drinking water, they have been established as the international standard for water filters that can be used in clean or hostile environments. 

Berkey Water Filter systems are available in several different models. Each model was designed with a specific guideline and group size in mind.

The Crown Berkey Water Filter

The Crown Berkey is the biggest water filter system available in the Berkey water filter line. This water filter is very versatile. It is ideal for serving as a water filter on your kitchen countertop, but it could also be used for on-the-go activities and even for emergency situations.

 It can store up to 6 gallons (22.7 liters) of water, and for normal daily use, it can serve 6 to 12 people. However, when fully configured, the Crown Berkey can serve 300 to 625 people.

With the Crown Berkey, you won’t need electricity or water pressure to get clean water. It utilizes the natural pressure of the water in the filtering system and gravity, allowing water to pass through the micropores of the elements. 

A water filter that does not require pressurized water or electricity is one of the most crucial components of emergency preparedness. 

Berkey water filters were also designed to last; they will be around for a long time and serve you thousands of gallons of water.

The Crown Berkey water filter is also disaster-ready, so it was built to filter water at such a fast and powerful rate. However, the Berkey water filter system is versatile and flexible, and you may find a Crown Berkey a great household tool.

Crown Berkey

This was our third Berkey purchase.
We use our travel tank every time we go on a trip. Really is a life saver in hotels with 3 kiddos.
We recently swapped our Royal Berkey for the Crown and are super happy.
Full tank lasts our family of 5 around 3 days before having to be refilled. We use it for everything. Coffee, tee, water bottles, pet water bowls, boiling veggies, etc.
Love our Berkeys!

Excellent

Very happy, just a small dent. Nothing real noticeable.

J
Judy Frazer (Montgomery, US)
5th Berkey addition to our family

Trust this filter system and really enjoy the taste of the water knowing that it is pure. We have every family member using one now!! Our precious doggies drink only filtered water also.

Great Upgrade

We bought the Crown Berkey after having the much smaller Travel model for a year. We found out that we used more of the filtered water than anticipated and needed the big unit.
The Crown Berkey is working well for us and we now have lots of filtered water!

Great deal

Bought the blemished model. Has a dent but almost can’t tell it don’t belong. And if it’s facing the wall you can’t even see it. Works great! Went with the 6 gallon!

Shows no sign of damage

I'm so glad I purchased this damaged Berkey. There are no signs of damage. Love my Berkey!!!

Great Product

Love my Berkey water filtration system. Easy to set up and use and the water tastes excellent. Worth every penny!

Glenn Rothenhauser (Warren, US)
Good proactive move

While we felt that we did not need the system right now, due to the good water quality in our area, we wanted to be ready for a problem that may pop up.
The system is very good and is used every day and, we feel, is a great value. Even our grandson enjoys filling the water dishes for the pets. The value is well worth the cost and gives us a great piece of mind, should the water system fail us. It is great to be proactive.

Bigger than expected and Perfect for our family of 6

I loved the idea of having one of these to protect my family from the contaminated water we’d be exposed to on a daily basis. I love that it’s portable although we did buy the biggest Berkey there is, we absolutely love it and have been more than satisfied with our purchase. We’ve already recommended the Berkey to all of our friends and family and it’s already been well worth the purchase price as our kids love how refreshing and crisp and clean the water taste is that they keep coming back for more throughout the day. I used to have to make them get water to stay hydrated and now I’ll see my little ones go without being told and refill all day long. I know our family is protected and that gives me peace of mind. Hands down I’d purchase this unit over and over again. Hoping to get a travel Berkey next so we can take it camping with us. You won’t be disappointed!! Best investment in your families health!! Well worth the money!!

M
Michelle Davidson (Fort Belvoir, US)
Best purchase in a long time!

Thank you Berkey!! My family of 8 is loving our new Berkey! It’s the perfect size for our family. After going through so many different water filter systems, this one has beaten them all! Every time my husband refills his water bottle, he comments on what an amazing purchase this was for our family.

We are a military family, and have lived many places with questionable water sources. The Berkey has removed all concerns I’ve had over the past 20 years of service. The next purchase will be a Berkey for my father in law who just decided to live off the grid.

Thank you Berkey!!!!!
