Product Description
The versatile Royal Berkey system is the ideal system for use at home with large families, travel, outdoor activities or during unexpected emergencies. This powerful system purifies both treated water and untreated raw water from such sources as remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries, where regulations may be substandard at best. Perfect for outdoor activities and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available. The Royal Berkey system removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites entirely and extracts harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, organic solvents, radon 222 and trihalomethanes. It also reduces nitrates, nitrites and unhealthy minerals such as lead and mercury. This system is so powerful it can remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can duplicate this performance. Constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel, the system comes complete with two purification elements and utilizes the latest technological advances. This system has a storage capacity of about 3.25 gallons (12.3 liters) and when in use it stands 23" in height with a diameter of 9.5". The upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only 15.25" in height. Configured with two Black Berkey purification elements the system will purify up to 4 Gallons (15.1 liters) per hour. This system can be expanded to use four purification elements and is capable of purifying up to 8 Gallons (30.3 liters) per hour.

I thought Berkey was a quality brand...
By Unimpressed
Bought this about 3 months ago and was happy with the convenience of use. Out of the box the stainless steel containers had 3 minor dents - no big deal. Then a month ago, I noticed one of the four elements was defective as water was flowing out of it like a faucet while the other 3 were dripping along. Got a replacement element (actually they sent me two - I guess they knew I would have problems with at least one more since they come in pairs). I was told that there was a defective batch in which the glue was coming undone. Glue? Hmmm. Well, a month ago, I notice sediment (I get my water from a creek) in the 'filtered' water. I did the red food dye test and one of the elements clearly failed. Then I notice that in two others, the plastic base was coming unglued from the element. There was very sloppy glue work where the plastic was peeling off. And finally, I noticed that the threads on the plastic bolt and nut strips very easily. On initial installation of the elements, the threads hold nicely as you hand-tighten the nuts. But later when you unscrew them for a cleaning, and try to re-install them the plastic nuts just strip with moderate torque. On the first element, I thought it was my fault for over-torquing it. But this happened to all the elements. I work on carbon bike components so I know a thing or two about not over-torquing. This should not even be an issue - especially when Berkey emphasizes re-tightening the nuts when running the red food dye test. In fact, they recommend doing the dye test "upon first use then at six month intervals". First use? So much for quality control or quality confidence. Oh well, live and learn. I'm hoping I can get a full refund after 3 months since I have lost all confidence in this filtration system. We shall see...edit: The customer support at Berkeyfilters.com was very supportive and understanding. The defective batch of filter elements have been isolated and removed from circulation. They are accepting my return for a full refund. If/when they fix the issue with the stripping threads, then I would reconsider their product.

The Best
By Shoni Field
Hands down the best filter on the market. We love love love it! We live on a well that has the egg smell from hydrogen sulfide in the water and because of that we didn't drink our own water. We used to buy bottled water and now we love our own water! We purchased 10 heavy duty pcb free bottles and assigned certain colors to the everyone in the house and just refill them. We now drink 4 times as much water! I recommend you purchase the spout with the viewing window so you don't have to lift the top off to see how much water you have left. Can't say enough good!

By Texan40cal
The filter system arrived quickly, and was well packaged. All the filter elements were boxed well and inside the tank, and the tank was in perfect condition with no dents or scrapes.
