Crown Berkey for More Water Needs:
Most of the municipal water utilities use chlorine in treating their drinking water since it is very effective in killing bacteria. It is also easy to use and inexpensive.
But even though chlorine is a very good water disinfectant, it can make the drinking water taste and smell very unpleasant, and it can also react with some organic substances that are also in the water to form a hazardous compound.
Water filters can help purify your drinking water, removing these impurities can make the water very safe to drink while also improving how it smells or tastes.
The Water Filter that You Should Get
Our water filters provide the most effective removal of waterborne contaminants. Our products are now used all over the world, in fact, because of its efficiency in filtering drinking water, it has been set as the international standard for water filters that can be used either in a clean or a hostile environment.
Berkey Water Filter systems are available in several models of a different kind. Each of these models was built with a specific guideline and a group size in mind.
The Crown Berkey Water Filter
The Crown Berkey is the biggest water filter system that is available in the line of Berkey water filters. This water filter is very versatile, it is ideal to serve as a water purifier on your kitchen countertop, but it could also be used for an outdoor activity and even for emergency situations.
This Berkey water purifier can immediately provide you with filtered water; it can purify both treated and untreated raw water. It was built with 304 polished stainless steel, and it has an attractive and durable body.
This water filtering system consists of two Black Berkey purifying elements that can be upgraded to up to four, six or eight purifying elements.
It can store up to 6 gallons or 22.7 liters of water, and for a normal daily use, it can serve 6 to 12 people, but when it is fully configured, the Crown Berkey can serve 300 to 625 people.
The water purifier of the Crown Berkey does not simply filter drinking water, but it removes 99.99% of pathogens, heavy metals and other substances that can be dangerous or hazardous to health, or cause a bad smell or taste to the water.
With the Crown Berkey, you won’t need electricity or water pressure to get clean and pure water, and it uses the natural pressure of the water in the filtering system and gravity so that water can pass through the micropores of its purification elements.
A water filter that does not depend on the pressurized water of electricity is one of the most important parts of emergency preparedness. It can purify treated water and even untreated water fast and based on the number of Black Berkey purifying elements that are configured into it, and it can serve a big number of people.
Berkey water filters were also designed to last and, it will be around for a long time, and it will serve you thousands of gallons of water.
The Crown Berkey water filter is also disaster ready, which is why it was built to purify water at such a fast and powerful rate. But Berkey water filter system is also very versatile and flexible, and you may found a Crown Berkey as a great household tool.

This is worth every penny. The taste is noticeably improved from our Brita. The filters are very slow to fill so a full upper tank will take 8 hours to purify the lower tank.

I was so looking forward to setting up and using my new Berkey. However, the package is missing the fluoride filters and the stainless steel spigot. I am very, very disappointed.

I love my Berkey, it’s a super great product. But the seller opens the box and puts the “bonus” items inside the Berkey. It felt a little weird when I got a box that had been opened and taped back closed, but it kinda crossed the line when I found greasy finger prints on my new $300 stainless steel filter. For that reason, I’d say the world’s best water filter from someone else.
The metal valve is kinda nice, and looks a bit better than the default plastic one (which you still get in addition to the metal one), but functions the same. Because it sits right next to the black base, the black and metallic both look fine.
As for the Berkey itself, the charcoal filters make the purist water ever. It’s such a great solution for counter-top filtering. I still prefer the taste of a really nice (expensive) spring water from a glass bottle (like Acqua Panna); the minerals in spring water add a bit of pleasant taste that the absolutely pure Berkey water lacks. But if you’re comparing it to water that comes in a plastic bottle, or out of a Brita, there’s absolutely no comparison, the Berkey is the clear and away winner.

Wise choice to have when you see all the flooding going on down south!

I love this water filter. Holds 6 gallons and looks great in my kitchen. I only drink water that comes from this and use it for cooking and everything bc my township puts fluoride in water and this filters it. I usually have to refill it once a week (i drink a LOT of water). I highly recommend this. It saves money in the long run by not needing to buy bottled spring water all the time.

One of the reasons we bought this filter because our water is high in TDS. After filtering TDS became even higher. So we returned it

However, I could never clear the fluoride filters out enough to not taste the bitterness from the filter dust. It tried a bunch of manual flushing and 10 batches of water, but I could still taste bitterness in the water. I eventually just gave up on them and used the charcoal filters alone. I don’t really care about fluoride filtering anyway, so I’m not disappointed. Though I could have saved a few bucks if I bought a Berkey that didn’t come with a set.

Perfect for a house of 2 (heavy water consumers: 1.5 qtr bottles of water each daily, plus cooking, daily tea and coffee) – SUPER clean and great tasting water. The stainless steel spigot is fantastic – great flow, no dripping after use (like the black plastic), and super easy to install. Priming the filters wasn’t my favorite, but the holy water as a result is worth it!
Mary Cooley –
We absolutely love this filter. We bought the big one so we would have constant water. So glad we did.

I received my Berkey anxiously and put it to work immediately. My water smells “swampy” right out of the tap. The smell is removed once filtered. I am pleased to report that this product operates as described. The stainless steel dispenser is pleasing to the eye. I did elect to get the optional sight glass. However, I removed it and put back the original spigot. The sight glass starts to leak out of the top of the sight glass when more than approximately 3 gallons are in the bottom tank. I prefer to fill my Berkey at night and have it filter while I sleep. All of my water for cooking goes through the Berkey. I have a ppm meter but haven’t recorded the difference between the Berkey, Tap and Ozarka (Delivered Water). The smell test is enough for me to use the water for cooking/coffee. I am more interested in Fluoride removal and will buy the appropriate filters for that purpose in the future. I highly recommend this system.

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.

Huge difference from even the filtered frig water. Helps with peace of mind, as you never know what’s even in your tap water. After coming to visit, we have plenty of friends and family investing in a Berkey too, as the water just tastes so much better.

One of the best purchases I’ve ever made! We had a distiller for years and it worked great, but now, the berkey makes more water per day. Needs no power to work, and the water tastes great! I would recommend it to everybody!
Luis Salcedo –
I am very pleased to have this filter. It works great to just use for your regular water in your house. Also good to have as a stand by filter for if you have to use strem water. Great filter for the money.

I had previously been buying water from the $.35/gal machines and constantly forgetting to refill my 5 gallon jugs…
I LOVE this Berkey! It holds about 5 gallons of water and filters overnight. It was easy to put together and if I want to buy more filters so it filters faster, I can!! The water filters SO clean!!! My husband even suggested we take it with us when we go camping in 2 weeks, so we don’t have to pack as much drinking water, but instead, gather it from the large creek that runs through our site…
When the Berkey first showed up on my door step, I was a little bit panniked, thinking that I had bought the wrong size… it came in such a small box… but the top canister was nestled inside of the bottom canister, with all the small pieces inside of that… I could not be happier with this awesome water filter!
