I have well water which has lime, iron, and sulfur in the water. I have a water softener to help take the minerals. Which the down side of water softeners is salt remands in the water. I wanted reduce my salt in take so to do that I would have to use water straight form my well and I would have by pass my water water softener. I reviewed several gravity water purifiers on the market. The Berkey water purifier I felt was the best value. I did the math buying the Berkey water purifier vs buying bottle water I will be able to pay for the Berkey water purifier in about one year and have clean fresh water for drinking and cooking for years to come. The Berkey water purifier filters out the lime, iron, and sulfur I have clean freash water all the time. I am very please with my purchase and would recommend this product to anyone. Read full review

I followed the instructions when assembling these filters and I am getting a steady stream of water instead of drips. I will do a food color test but these new filters both seem to be faulty. Considering the price, I am not very pleased.

We have very good water but I worry.... This takes the worry away. The extra black filters are extrodinarily expensive, over $50.00 each and you need 2 for my Berkey Travel however, they will last 3-4 years with the use I give them. The only other down side is it takes about 4-5 hours for a gallon to get through so you do have to plan and keep track. That being said, if you have even the slightest worry about your water, and you should, this is worth the effort.

Pros: Unit works as it should, is easy to maintain and with the sight glass it's easy to know the fill level in the bottom section. Cons: It has to be placed on a counter where there's a cabinet protruding above the unit, which leaves only a few inches over the top in order to refill and nearly impossible to know the fill level inside the top without guessing.

this is a great product, the water produced by the black filters is a nice nuetral PH level. It works faster then I thought. also need to remember that you can't keep the reserve full and bottom full at the same time, the water will leak in the middle... Berkey is the best...
