***Update 02/19/2023 – Due to the ongoing lawsuit and recent independently verified news articles about Alumina, I am removing my Berkey White Fluoride Filter endorsement. Stay tuned for a more in-depth article about Alumina and the leaching with the white filters. However, I believe the black filters work as advertised. And my feeling is that their black filters remove an astounding amount of contaminants. Continuing to reduce a person’s Toxic Load.***
I am a Big Berkey owner. I have owned my Berkey for close to four years. Even though I live at the top of the water table, tap water is contaminated from the mining that took place during the gold rush era.
Contaminants include Haloacetic acids (HAA5), Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs), chloroform, and even Uranium. In total, there are 18 contaminants in my tap water. All of these have been known to cause cancer. My Big Berkey removes approximately 99% of all of it, reducing the Total Toxic Load (TTL).
This filter not only removes harmful contaminants but also improves the taste of your tap water by removing chlorine, chloramines, sulfur compounds (like hydrogen sulfide), VOCs, and heavy metals like lead and mercury. The Big Berkey Water Filter is the world’s most advanced and reliable countertop system, ensuring peace of mind no matter where you are.
Many people hesitate to drink water from the tap, preferring bottled or filtered. However, we may be better off filtering out the harmful contaminants in our tap water and accepting any unpleasant tastes in our water.
It’s time to take our water consumption into our own hands!

1: The Berkey water filter is bulky. This can be a hassle for those who move frequently, and it can also be too big for those who live in small apartments or dorm rooms.
2: The Berkey water filter restricts the flow rate. It is designed with a slow but steady flow rate, which might not be fast enough for people who need to quickly make their coffee or tea in the morning. It might also be too slow for those who need more constant water.
3. The Berkey Filtration Systems require their own storage space. These cleaners are not very small or compact and might be challenging to travel with. If you need to go on trips where you will be staying in a hotel or another location, this is not the filter for you.
4. Berkey water systems use should not be used in a refrigerator. This means that it will be the temperature of your water coming out of your tap. It adds an extra step if you want to chill on-demand water.
5: The Filters take a little more work to prepare. Berkey water filters must be primed before use so they can start filtering. They don’t have the push-button technology of other countertop filtration systems. This makes them more difficult for some people to set up and use.
