Crown Berkey for More Water Needs:

Most municipal water utilities use chlorine in treating their drinking water since it is very effective in killing bacteria. It is also easy to use and inexpensive.

But even though chlorine is a very good water disinfectant, it can make the drinking water taste and smell very unpleasant, and it can also react with some organic substances that are also in the water to form a hazardous compound.

Water filters can help purify your drinking water, removing these impurities can make the water very safe to drink while also improving how it smells or tastes.

The Water Filter that You Should Get

Our water filters provide the most effective removal of waterborne contaminants. Our products are now used all over the world, in fact, because of their efficiency in filtering drinking water, it has been set as the international standard for water filters that can be used either in a clean or a hostile environment.

Berkey Water Filter systems are available in several models of different kinds. Each of these models was built with a specific guideline and a group size in mind.

The Crown Berkey Water Filter

The Crown Berkey is the biggest water filter system that is available in the line of Berkey water filters. This water filter is very versatile, it is ideal to serve as a water purifier on your kitchen countertop, but it could also be used for outdoor activity and even for emergency situations.

This Berkey water purifier can immediately provide you with filtered water; it can purify both treated and untreated raw water. It was built with 304 polished stainless steel, and it has an attractive and durable body.

This water filtering system consists of two Black Berkey purifying elements that can be upgraded to up to four, six, or eight purifying elements.

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

The water purifier of the Crown Berkey does not simply filter drinking water, but it removes 99.99% of pathogens, heavy metals, and other substances that can be dangerous or hazardous to health, or cause a bad smell or taste to the water.

With the Crown Berkey, you won’t need electricity or water pressure to get clean and pure water, and it uses the natural pressure of the water in the filtering system and gravity so that water can pass through the micropores of its purification elements.

A water filter that does not depend on the pressurized water of electricity is one of the most important parts of emergency preparedness. It can purify treated water and even untreated water fast and based on the number of Black Berkey purifying elements that are configured into it, and it can serve a big number of people.

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

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!

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!

Great Product

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!!

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!!!!!
