INCLUDES AUTHENTIC BLACK BERKEY ELEMENTS (THE ORIGINAL BB9-2)- Don’t fall for lookalike filters that use our Berkey BB9-2 model number or trademarks in their titles or product descriptions to legitimize their brand as replacements or “compatible”, when they are not. Black Berkey Elements are designed to work synergistically and target specific contaminants that far exceed the reduction capabilities of black filters solely composed of activated carbon.
ECONOMICAL, LONG-LASTING- Black Berkey Elements provide filtered water for just pennies per gallon. Each pair of Black Berkey Elements lasts for up to 6,000 gallons before replacement is recommended. Elements may require replacement sooner based upon the quality of influent water.

  1. Sarah Albondante – February 16, 2025

    Great investment
    My husband and I decided to purchase a water filter after the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment. We didn’t want to go with the typical, mainstream brita water filter or the one that connects to a faucet. We have had those before and the filter has to be changed frequently.We liked that the Berkey filters out forever chemicals, specifically the chemicals spilled during the derailment. It also filters out over 200 contaminants, chemicals and bacteria. Setup was fairly easy, however priming the elements was challenging due to the adapter that fit onto our faucet which was a struggle. The life span of the filters is amazing, as they only need to be changed every 11,000 gallons. Although the filters are pricey, around $170ish for 2, they are worth it in the long run. Using the filter is easy. Once set up, just pour water in the top, put the lid back on and you’re good to go. Quality of the materials is unmatched. We purchased a stand off Amazon that elevates the element, which you definitely need. Hoping to get the stainless steel spigot soon to replace the plastic one that came with the product.Lastly, I have to say the water tastes AMAZING. Like water should taste. It rivals the taste of Fiji, our preferred bottled water. Our family initially made fun of us for spending so much money on a water filter, but once they tasted it they plan on purchasing one. I was never a big water drinker before, but now I find myself drinking lots of it. We fill up multiple containers of it whenever we leave the house. Great product, give it a try!

    Worthwhile purchase
    After caving to the pressure of family and friends to order this water filter, I couldn’t be more pleased with it and kicking myself for putting it off for too long. It’s easy to assemble (be sure to really tighten the tap!), it fits on my kitchen counter well, and the water tastes exactly how clean, fresh water should taste. Being raised in a city with artesian well water, I got spoiled and have not been able to drink tap water in any other city I’ve lived in. No more lugging gallons of bottled water home every week or two, no more chemical tasting tap water. The only thing I’m second guessing is that I probably could have done just as well with a Travel Berkey rather than the Big Berkey, being a one-person household. Otherwise, I’m very pleased and would encourage ditching the environmentally irresponsible plastic bottles, questionable bottled water quality, and go for a unit that you can trust. In my case it will pay for itself in just over a year. The filters may be costly but they last a very long time. I won’t need to replace them for many, many years. I definitely recommend Berkey water filtration systems.

  3. Fyrcat – February 16, 2025

    Produces water fast and efficiently!
    We like our Big Berkey. It makes water fast and easy. We had a leased reverse osmosis system for over 30 years. The water tasted better with RO if I have to be honest. And we are using 4 black filters in the Berkey, and are on a municipal water source. The other thing I have noticed is the mineral deposit/build up in our teapot and dogs water bowls, since deploying the Berkey. This is all okay with us, as the upside is, unlike the RO, this is on the countertop. The RO 3 times leaked under our kitchen cabinet, ruining the cabinet. We just remodeled our kitchen, with custom cabinets, and we decided no more leaks from a RO system. The trade off for more minerals, not as good tasting water, is the zero potential for leaking. We are not complaining about the Berkey..just giving our honest opinion. In the event of a disaster, we hope the claims that it will filter out bad stuff is true. We have well water here on our property that has never been tested and we use for horses water and gardening. It would be our fall back if the municipal water was shutoff or cut off in a disaster, and the Berkey would be our filtration for drinking….The Berkey is easy to fill, and doesn’t waste water to make water(which a RO does). We purchased 2 extra black filters, so it produces water quickly. We also got the sight glass and a black plant stand. I placed this next to my sink. When I purposely overfill, it just drips into the sink, so no mess on the countertop!I would recommend the Big Berkey, I don’t know of any other system that can deliver clean water so efficiently and cost effective. It also is beautiful to look at!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!
    The water you will drink from the Berkey WILL taste SO MUCH BETTER than any other filter and especially tap, I guarantee it! If silk had a flavor it would taste like this water. Everyone (including the kids) in my house is drinking more water because it’s so good! It is pricey BUT totally worth it IMO. It filters quickly even with only two of the filters installed so you don’t have to sit around and wait forever for the water to be available. We have 4 people in our household and it’s the perfect size for us. We use it for drinking water and cooking. I was honestly worried that it would look big and bulky on the counter and make everything feel a little cluttered but it’s a lot more sleek than I had pictured and rather like it! The second picture has a 40 ounce tumbler for size reference. It’s very sturdy and the filters are very clearly excellent quality. The quality of the city water where we live is awful, smells like pool water and tastes like it too. I HATED that my kids were drinking it every day so I splurged on this for the sake of their health and I am SO HAPPY I DID!!

  5. Gregory – February 16, 2025

    Great Product, Best Tasting Water
    This is a well constructed unit. The filters are a bit tough to prime but once that’s done you can notice the difference in comparison to the tap water.I ordered the stand so it didnt have to sit at the edge of the sink.

  6. bc – February 16, 2025

    Works as advertised
    After the first priming, my filtered water was a little cloudy. I reprimed… and same thing. I discovered through reading online that I needed to bypass my water softener. Once I did that the water was crystal clear.

  7. Mariana B – February 16, 2025

    La verdad es una pena. Llevaba ya al menos unos 8 años queriendo conseguir un filtro Berkey desde que lo conocí en casa de un amigo y me pareció una maravilla por sus acabados, lo económico (a la larga) del sistema, lo práctico del manejo y la seguridad del mismo. Hace dos meses lo compré. Llegó rápido, sin daños, todo completo. O eso pensé. Lamentablemente ya luego de tener montado el filtro, me di cuenta que no traía el colorante rojo artificial que es INDISPENSABLE para probar la funcionalidad de los filtros y descartar que vinieran con falla o defectuosos, parte medular del sistema. Y descubrí que aunque la venta a otras partes del mundo sí incluye el colorante, parece ser que para América Latina no, o al menos no para México.Tampoco me incomodó en exceso pues como había ya hecho investigación, sabía que el colorante usado es el rojo de la marca McCormick. Así que al día siguiente fui en busca de él para encontrarme con la sorpresa de que en ninguna de las tiendas (fui como a 7), vendían exactamente el colorante que necesitaba. Descubrí que sólo un colorante artificial puede arrojar resultados certeros sobre la condición de los filtros ya que los colorantes naturales o vegetales al ser minerales, sí llegan a pasar por los filtros (permiten el paso natural de los mismos para obtener una agua saludable) y no necesariamente indicar que no funcionan. El colorante correcto para el test debe ser rojo, artificial, con los ingredientes FD&C 40 y 3. Desgraciadamente la McCormick de México ya cambió los colorantes y no manejan esa fórmula precisa, ahora manejan el 14 y el 4. El más cercano que encontré fue uno de la marca Bakersfield que si bien es artificial, trae otros ingredientes extras que no trae la fórmula original de McCormick y sólo 1 de los dos colorantes necesarios, el 40. Lo compré y me di a la tarea de escribir DIRECTAMENTE a Customer Service de Estados Unidos, en su idioma, para explicar la situación. Anexé la lista de los ingredientes del que conseguí pues supuse que con esos detalles sería más que suficiente para decirme con seguridad si podría funcionar para testear los filtros. Respondieron rápida y amablemente diciendo que era una pregunta muy técnica y que debía esperar varios días más. Finalmente contestaron y me dijeron que debía ser un colorante rojo completamente artificial y que si quería, podían enviarme a casa el colorante sin costo, pagando yo el envío. Nunca me dijeron si funcionaba o no el que ya tenía, era justo lo que necesitaba saber pero ni los técnicos pudieron responder. Accedí a pagar el envío. Esperando me dieran instrucciones para pagarlo, recibí otro correo donde me dijeron que lamentablemente no podían hacer el envío a México, pero que buscara en la liga que me adjuntaban para distribuidores internacionales. Piqué en la liga, y oh sorpresa, no había ningún distribuidor en México.Así que estoy aquí, a dos meses de mi compra, con un equipo CARÍSIMO, que ya ni siquiera puedo regresar en caso de que los filtros vengan defectuosos, porque no incluyeron una pieza fundamental que es el colorante artificial específico para probar la viabilidad de los filtros. Creo que es importante que sepan quienes están interesados en comprarlo, que no podrán saber a ciencia cierta si lo que compraron sirve correctamente. Habrá quizá a quienes no afecte, pero en mi caso, que expuse con detenimiento al staff de Servicio al Cliente, tengo a un familiar con cáncer, bajo quimioterapias frecuentes y muy inmunosuprimido. No puedo arriesgarme a darle para su consumo un agua de la que no estemos completamente seguros está bien purificada.Por ello pongo 1 estrella, con gusto actualizo a 5 estrellas si la empresa o Amazon me ayuda a conseguir el colorante o habilitan un link para la compra del mismo para México. Creo que deberían por lo menos ponerlo a la venta como artículo aparte si es que no lo van a incluir dentro de la compra del equipo y que por razones de lógica común, debería ser imprescindible, sobre todo para países donde NO HAY FORMA de conseguirlo.

  8. Schroeder Patrick – February 16, 2025

    Am Anfang war ich etwas skeptisch , doch der Berkey ist einfach top, Geschmack und Leistung…unnachahmlich…kann ich nur empfehlen

  9. Brad – February 16, 2025

    Delivers perfect water without much effort. Great design and looks great in the kitchen. I certainly can’t live without this filter as it makes poor quality water taste fantastic

  10. Joyce Pogacic – February 16, 2025

    My son has a Berkey that I enjoyed in Osaka when I lived there. Now I am in the mountains near Nagano. A few days ago we received our Berkey order that I was able to to buy through a donation. Even though our water is good in the mountains, the taste of the Berkey water is like the pureness of nature’s untouched water!

  11. Paul and Leanne Taylor – February 16, 2025

    Easy to assemble, little bit of work required on the filters before you can use them, but knew this before I bought this unit. Instructions are OK, but followed other users advice and YouTubed away.I have pretty good water in my area, but the Berkey makes it taste much better.
