There are different sizes of the Berkey's. The Royal Berkey has a capacity of 3.25 gallons of water while the Big Berkey only has 2.5 gallon capacity.

I believe it is. I was not 100% convinced that I should replace my black Berkey filters with new black Berkey filters due to some complaints about glue releasing from them. So I researched quite a bit and discovered the white filters that could be used in place of the black. In my research I learned/was told, that these filters had been used by the queen of England. I have been very happy with my Berkey system and really like the white filters best.

I believe its the same however I'd recommend to check their website or just call them

There are several different sizes with different prices. The insides are all the same for the stainless models, just different capacity inside. Go to "berkeyfilters.com" to see all the different sizes. One other thing - there are white and black filters for the top, the black ones are the better ones. There also white plastic filters for the bottom that remove chlorine and heavy metals. Decide what you need, then get what you really want the first time so you don't have to buy it twice.

I don't think so........ Berkey do a range of stainless steel filters in varying sizes a plastic one too. Sorry I can't be certain.

PS: the Berkey is also handsome looking and sturdy and fits beautifully on a countertop.

This portable water filter will not filter fluoride! Berkey does offer fluoride filtration filters that can be added to their larger filtration systems.

I got the "Big" to serve our needs for culinary water. There are physically bigger ones than the "Big" but they're always out of stock. The "Big Berkey" has holes for up to four filters, I have two in there now. I don't know anything about the "Travel Berkey." The filters last several years if you're only running tap water through them. You can always take them out and clean them off with a plastic scrubby. The one Achilles Heel is that if the water freezes, the filters are ceramic and will crack.

No, no such thing on the Berkey website, indicating that the shower filter has to be replaced entirely. It is not like a Brita water filter.

I'm guessing you didn't get enough water pressure through those two ceramic filters to start with or else you have the muddiest water. I've had my Berkey for 2 years now and it also is starting to slow down. Haven't even taken the filters out yet to give them a rinse off. I swear by my Berkey. Pure bottled water taste and hopefully purity and the filters just keep on going.

YES THIS FITS MY ROYAL BERKEY...Very easy to install. You've got to get one!!! This for all who did not want to take apart & measure or like me who doesn't measure well!

Berkey's require at least two black filters. If you didn't buy the two black filters when you purchased the Berkey, I highly recommend getting them now. Berkey water tastes great! The black filters do not filter out fluoride, so if you want to filter out the fluoride you can purchase additional white filters, but these are optional and not required for your Berkey to work.

The filter for the Go Berkey is the same one used in the other size units (it just has a smaller stem at the base). The filters are rated to 3000 gallons before replacement is needed. The filters are also capable of being cleaned with a 3M Scotch Brite pad if you start noticing any sediment build up. I have been using mine for about 6 months now for drinking water for myself only and have not needed to clean it, and I am filtering pretty nasty city water. Using it to filter stream or well water may be a different story, though. Also, just a note on the Go Berkey, it is not compatible with the fluoride filter. I am upgrading soon because of this, but will keep the Go Berkey for backpacking.

We apologize, but the previous answer was incorrect. The title for this Ebay listing states a Royal Berkey System w/Ceramic elements. If you have already placed this order, we will send you the Royal Berkey System with Black Berkey Elements as courtesy.

Yes they do. They come with everything you need to change the filters in your Berkey.

Not at all! The system is super efficient and the quality of the water is amazing!

Yes, the cleanable AquaRain Ceramic Filter Cartridges will most certainly fit in a Berkey, and what's more, you will have a better performing, longer lasting system! Our laboratory proven efficacy and the ability to measure and reliably determine when to replace our filters are just two of the many areas that set us apart.

I am confused. Does the Royal Berkey come with the 2 white ceramic filters or 2 black filters or all 4 filters? Are they Berkey filters?

RichB in Phoenix, We installed in our bar, NOTE: this faucet is cold only, only one input. Yes, we have it connected to an inline GE water purifier, with replaceable filter.

No. The instructions on the bottle have you give the system an initial heavy dose by putting the cleaner down the tube the float is in so it goesto the bottom. You then put the system through two cycles and run the water on your faucets to flush out the any cleaner that may havegotten in the system. What I have been doing is putting about a half cup of cleaner in the tube every month or so. It seems to keep thesystem working just fine.

No, System is designed for city water. Or wells with proper prefiltration no more then 300ppm before R/O. Then only good for provided faucet and maybe a ice maker. VERY GOOD SYSTEM IF INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
