Why You Need a Royal Berkey Water Filter in Your Home

Worldwide customers have trusted our Berkey systems for their reliable filtration systems. 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 could cater to your whole family, then 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 leaves the entire healthy mineral content in the water that we need.

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

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

Royal Berkey Elements

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

Each element can last up to approximately 3,000 gallons, so a set of two will give you approximately 6,000 gallons of clean and 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, as it 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.

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.

Live it. Had to watch a YouTube video to put it together correctly

Love it!

I was cautiously hopeful that it would meet at least half of my expectations, after reading countless comments, recommendations, reviews and articles written on this product.
After using it daily for more than a month, I can honestly say it exceeds my most hopeful expectations.
I do not mind the few maintenance steps as I value the quality of the water way more.
Now, if we can get the black filters situation resolved so we can buy them as needed without being on a wait list forever. Rooting for Berkey, as EPA interference is lacking every bit of common sense.
