BerkeyCRN8X2-BB stainless steel crown with 2 black filters, 6gal, black

Bought this to replace tap water. I don't trust the cleanliness of tap water with out some sort of filtration system. This is cheaper then adding a filtration system. Does a great job and has no bad taste to the water.

Rien à redire, super bien emballé. Après impossible d'être déçu de Berkey (n°1)

J’ai effectué le test avec le colorant alimentaire, l’eau est impeccable.J’investirai dans un robinet plus pratique et avec témoins d’eau je pense . Ils auraient pu penser à une petite fenêtre dans le réservoir pour vérifier le niveau .

I ordered the Crown Berkey last year and have been using it since then.It arrived within the specified time in great condition. I had ordered 2 additional black ceramic filters to use in the Berkey and those arrived in the same package as well.It is so easy to assemble..I had it together in less than half an hour.No electricity required for the Berkey to do its job and those ceramic filters last for years with minimal cleanup required every few months.The water from the Berkey definitely tastes better than water straight from the tap.It is easy to refill...although I don't have a sink hose that can be used to add water directly to the Berkey, it is no problem using a jug to add water.Since I have the Berkey kept on my kitchen counter, it is not possible to look into the chamber from above unless I hop onto a chair or something but instead, I just hold the reflective lid above the Berkey to see what the water level is at.The Berkey has already paid itself off. I don't understand how people can continuously buy those gallon bottled water seeing that it all adds up expense wise and also all that plastic is detrimental to the environment.Also, who knows whether that bottled water actually lives up to the claims on the labels.I just need to get 2 Fluoride filters to add into the Berkey and then I will be all set.Everyone should own a Berkey.

I’m very happy with this purchase- I did have sticker shock, but if it does what it says it does…I’m using it for everything: us drinking, cooking, the dogs, the plants, coffee and tea. We are very happy.Filter priming- first- for spending $1k on this, include the dang filter primer pump. But, I get it, you need to make as much money off the non “preppers”.Using a plastic water/soda bottle, drill a hole in the cap (1/8” is fine). Fill with tap water. Assemble the filter as directions state, but rather than put to the tap, put the bottle on and squeeze. You will see the filter “sweat” in seconds. Repeat for all filters.This was WAY easier than the “hold to the faucet”. That dumb way shot water everywhere and didn’t have the pressure to “sweat”.This tip should be include in the instructions- especially considering some of the other nonsense included.I like the filter. I like the flavor. I like the peace of mind. I don’t like the hype. Hope this helps.
