the posting is for Royal Berkey with 2 ceramic fileters. Does it by default come with 2 black filters? Or do I need to buy those separately?

The 2 Ceramic filters are instead of 2 black filters. you can also add 2 PF-4 filters that attach below the 2 ceramic filters if you wish to filter out Arsenic, Fluoride and Lead. call if you need more help, 818-266-7003, we are happy to answer any questions.

It comes with the filters and they last 12 years! I hope I can remember to change them!

2 Black Berkey Elements can be used in the system, and will need to be purchased seperatly.

This is what I thought because it originally did, according to previous answers. It does NOT come with black filters, which is why it is so cheap. I cancelled order and bought another one with black filters and added 2 fluoride filters. I went round and round with this seller, because previous ad DID INCLUDE, but they say they ran out of those.

It comes with only two filters. There is ports for four filters, but only comes with two. You can add up to four if you want for faster filtration.

It comes with 2 white ceramic filters. If you want the black you'll have to purchase them. The ceramic are superior to the black plus they filter the water much quicker

Yes, and a lot more. Go to www.BerkeyFilters.com for answers to all your questions. We have had our system for years now, have replaced the PF-2 (fluoride & other contaminants) twice now, but the black filters can last a very long time - just need to be cleaned periodically with a 3-M pad. It's the best system on the market, least expensive to purchase and least expensive to operate, and can be used outside (camping, emergency water needs, etc.). Nothing better available; we very highly recommend it.

Yes, the PF4 is the correct flouride filter for the ceramic Berkey filters. The PF2 is for the black Berkey filters. If you go to http://www.getberkey.com/british-berkefeld/ they have all kinds of stuff for sale and plenty of information that should answer your questions about the British Berkefeld filtration system components. Great system! I LOVE my Berkey. :-)

The Big Berkey comes with 2 black Berkey filter elements. These will filter 6000 gallons. Every 6 months we remove them and *clean* them according to well written directions. It's easy and takes 15 minutes or so. (If water flow slows, it probably means they need cleaning.) NOTE - the "white filters" are special add-on filters that also remove fluoride.

I have 4 holes in my Berkey. If you switch to 2 black filters, that should fill all 4 holes. You should have 2 ceramic filters on the bottom and 2 black filters on top in the other 2 holes.

I use the ceramic filters. At the time they said the red cross and unicef used them. That was good enough for me. I also read a review that said the stem on the black filter broke easy. I don't know if that was true, but I didn't have the money to try it to find out. I prefer tried and true. I LOVE my Berkey with the ceramic filters and they are very easy to clean. One of the best investments I've made for me and my family.

This link should take you to the Amazon page where you can purchase the correct filter. This unit comes with a ceramic filter which can be remove and cleaned with fresh water and scotch-brite pad. http://www.amazon.com/Doulton-UltraCarb-Ceramic-Water-Filter/dp/B000VKT5BO/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_y

I prefer the black berkey filters. Everything I read about the ceramic is they are not as good as the black filters. Though, should research yourself by reading up on what they do and don't do prior to purchase to make sure the filter you want to purchase is best for your needs.

You can use 2 filters minimum and four maximum at a time. Don't know why you couldn't use two of each. There's nothing that would prevent it. I'd contact customer service at British Berkfeld to make sure that you'll be getting the benefits from this setup that you hope for. My experience with two filters has been great. Water from the tap here tastes awful but once it goes through the Berkie filter, it tastes great.

I had to purchase filters separately. You need 4 cartridges so read the fine print carefully. Some vendors ship individual cartridges and some ship 4 packs. I have tried every kind of filter, and I would say get the Hayward ones. They cost more but they last a long time and work well.

Mine came with one filter each. You have to buy any other filters separately.

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

Yes. We have the Royal Berkey with 2 black filters & 2 white filters. The info listed on Amazon for each filter tells you what they remove. Also you can go to the Berkey web page for addition info. We are very happy with the taste & smell of our Berkey filtered water.

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.

Go to the Berkey website as they filter out different things. Black filters are charcoal and filter out certain things while the ceramic filters out different things. Depends on what you're concerned about. I have 4 black filters and the water tastes great as it filters out chlorine. I could filter out the floride with the ceramic but for me, I'm not as concerned about floride as some people may be. Up to you...

It came with one permanent and one pleated filter. You will eventually need to order more.

Mine didn't. I did get extra filters, it was not clear that they were "extra"on my order.
