BerkeyStainless Steel Imperial Water Filter System

I’ve been wanting to get the Berkey for a long time. Our daughter has one and I love the way my body just absorbs the water. It tastes great and I know it’s better for me. I finally got one after we had a kitchen remodel and figured out where to put it. It’s one of the best things I could have done for my health.

I have been wanting a Berkey water filter for ages, as most of my friends who have one rate it highly. Now that I have one I'm not disappointed! No longer can I smell or taste any nasties. My old water filter kept making the water taste bitter- I don't know why. The other great thing is you don't have to keep filling the Berkey every time you use it. Just once a day.

Berkey is the best system to get a perfect filtration. I have been using mine for about 10 years, and bought this one for my son. Yes it is expensive, but you can use one filter for 11000 litres of water, so at the end it is quite economical. You need to clean the carbon filter when the filtration slows down, that's all. For a one person household using it all the time for everything, that's once a year. Hardly a problem.

I chose this filter because I needed a unit that would function anywhere and without electricity, needed no "plumbing" (my personal nightmare), have high ratings on filtration of most unwanted particles (heavy metals, etc.), and would be affordable, that is, not have to have frequent filter replacement added to the price tag. The Imperial Berkey meets these requirements very well.Initial set-up was a bit more tricky, since I chose 2 filters and had to plug 4 extra holes with plastic screws (they needed extreme tightening to prevent leakage, which took some messing with), but overall straightforward due to a good instruction sheet. We've been using the water for a couple of weeks now and it's been very good, although our well water was pretty decent already. It gives me peace of mind knowing that now it's really cleaned up, no matter what our well water might do in the future. One suggestion for first-time buyers would be the investment in a water level indicator (I bypassed that and will order one asap), since it's easy to forget to check the water level in the lower container (you have to lift out the top with the filters) and overflow the unit. Once the level indicator is installed, it should be no problem. Overall, I highly recommend this unit as a first-rate and user-friendly filtration system.
