Big Berkey Water Filter – Berkey is one of the best-selling brands of water filters and purification systems worldwide and is recommended by various health magazines, laboratories and independent health websites. It has millions of satisfied customers around the world.
Berkey water filters remove more than 99.9% of chlorine, viruses, bacteria, cysts, pharmaceutical residues, parasites and hazardous chemical contaminants. Heavy metals are filtered out at a rate of 95% (up to almost 100% even with fluoride and arsenic filters). The essential minerals your body needs are retained in the process.
The Big Berkey water filter comes as standard with 2 original Black Berkey filter cartridges and can be extended to 4 elements. Black Berkey filter cartridges utilise the latest technological developments in water purification. Berkey water filters are therefore regarded as the best and most sustainable water filtration systems on the market and are the best-performing portable water filters. The Black Berkey filter cartridges have been tested by an independent laboratory in accordance with NSF/ANSI standards 42 and 53. See the laboratory report for further details.
The unit has a capacity of approximately 8.5 litres of water, which is more than enough for most purposes. You can use the Black Berkey filter cartridges for several years, meaning you’ll quickly recoup the cost of the unit compared to other brands of water filters.
The housing is made of polished stainless steel (304), ensuring long-term durability.
The Big Berkey water filter box contains: two stainless steel chambers (top and bottom), 2 Black Berkey filter elements, 1 stainless steel lid, 1 plastic tap (with fixing materials), 2 wing nuts (for Black Berkey filter elements), 2 washers (for Black Berkey filter elements), 1 priming button (to prime the Black Berkey filter cartridges), 2 plug caps (to fill the spare holes, which can then be used to expand the water filter with additional Black Berkey filter cartridges) and the Priming Starter Kit.
You can easily assemble the Big Berkey in a matter of minutes without any tools. The first step in setting up a Berkey water filter is to prime the Black Berkey filter cartridges. It is important that this is done properly, otherwise it will take a very long time to purify the water. For full details about Berkey water filters, please refer to our library, which includes user guides, instructional videos and answers to frequently asked questions. If you’re unable to prime the system using the tap, then a automatic primer pump or manual primer pump order from us.

Miranda (Registered customer) –
I’m pleased with it; I’d had it before and gave it away to someone who needed it more at the time. It’s lovely to have it back again.
Will van der Kamp (Registered customer) –
After pre-treatment, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Mascha Roedelof (Registered customer) –
Fast, well-organised delivery. Assembling the water filter went smoothly. Priming the filters also went smoothly: it almost seemed as if they were already primed. The red liquid test went well. The first time I filtered the water, it felt a bit awkward. For the first half hour, the water flowed through quickly. After that, it trickled out. And eventually, a few centimetres remained. The second filtration cycle was the same, except that the layer of water left in the upper chamber was smaller: about 1 cm. Clear instructions.

Just a little cheaper and delivered in no time at all. I received an immediate reply to my enquiry by email, and I can still take advantage of the special offer – which was originally out of stock – if I wish, and a good proposal has been put forward.
I’d recommend watching the video on the 10 mistakes to avoid with the Berkey, as I’d definitely made those myself, and it helps prevent things like water leaks. The website has links to videos showing how to install it, so that went very smoothly too.

‘- The reason I chose the Big Berkey size is that, as a single man, it allows me to meet my daily requirement for fresh, filtered tap water without having too much water sitting around for too long (by my standards).’.
I do sometimes spend more than a few hours away from home.
– It’s fair to say that you can actually taste that the water has been filtered.
– I would also like to emphasise that your main reason for wanting a Berkey should not be because you want lime-free – or even just low-lime – water for tea and/or coffee.
Then you’ll really be left high and dry.
– Before I started using the Berkey, I used Brita filters and had sparkling white mugs for three weeks.
Now I’ve got brown stains straight away.
I don’t hold this against the Berkey because I knew this beforehand.
That’s why I’ve kept a Brita-style jug on standby specifically for my tea (the jug is made of glass rather than plastic, by the way)
I just fill these with water from the Berkey as well.
– As for the monthly maintenance ….
Once a month (when I change my Brita filter), I give the lower Berkey reservoir a thorough clean with vinegar and, when absolutely necessary (I’ve read everywhere that it isn’t strictly necessary), the upper section.
– In my case, it turned out that my stainless-steel tap wasn’t up to scratch.
I got in touch with Tom about this, and the matter was resolved quickly and smoothly.
The replacement tap is working perfectly.
– I didn’t opt for the sight glass tap myself because, with the help of a measuring jug and a bit of practice, I’m able to keep a close eye on the contents.
– Oh, and one more thing: I only use one filter instead of two at the same time.
As I top it up regularly and, as a single user, don’t need too much water at once, one filter is more than enough for me.
Please note! Bearing this in mind, I deliberately bought a bag of spare parts because the Berkey comes with only two filter cartridges as standard.
Berkey assumes that you’ll install both filters, rather than just one like I did!
– Last but not least, priming the filters (making them let the water through, so to speak) is a nightmare with many taps.
Water splashes everywhere, so I’d really recommend a primer set! It might even be a must-have for anyone who wants to keep things as dry as possible.
Enjoy!!
Walter (Registered customer) –
We’re really happy with the water filter. The water tastes much better. We drink a lot of tea, which now tastes better too. And it’s nice to know it’s healthier. We spent a long time deliberating over the purchase and the options, but Melanie and Tom gave us excellent advice. Delivery was quick. So I’d definitely choose this company again.
Chantal van Werde (Registered customer) –
After comparing various water filters, I settled on the Berkey water filter. It purifies the water exceptionally well and is also the best option in terms of price. The tap water tastes delicious, and the filter is easy to top up with water. We also ordered the tap with a sight glass. This is certainly handy, as you can see exactly how much water is left in the reservoir and how much you need to top up. This tap also protrudes a bit further, making it easier for me to fill my kettle. The service from Melanie and Tom is also perfect. The tap wasn’t working properly, and they replaced it promptly and efficiently. Thank you very much for that.
Eline (Registered customer) –
For the first time ever, water actually tastes good! I can’t get enough of it. I’ve been using the Berkey for a few weeks now. I’ve got loads more energy and my skin has become really soft. I’d definitely recommend it. The service from Melanie and Tom is absolutely brilliant too.
Marijke and Henk Koreman –
Just like good wine, good water really doesn’t need any embellishment!
The Berkey makes tap water taste just as drinking water is meant to.
From the very first sip, water, tea, coffee and lemonade taste great
and the stock is incomparably D I F F E R E N T.
Meanwhile, we simply forgot about the first two months, that
‘We sometimes give our Berkey a quick clean too’
’…was…,’
