Any suggestions for a suitable stand to place the Crown Berkey Water Filter upon? I'd like to get it off the counter in our very small kitchen. Thx!

I would suggest any portable stand, available at any home supply store. We have used these in the past, and they have worked very well. Good luck!Randy

We bought a small standing table thats sits waist high but very narrow surface area

We just put ours on a stand we originally bought for the phone to sit on, it is about the same size of the Berkey. Our kitchen is very small also, the stand works well there.

There are few plant pot stands that you can use at home depo but I had a custom made for my kitchen.

We use a nice wooden bar stool. It doesn't take up much floors pace, looks good, and is very sturdy.

I already had the stand, got it from Petco. Actually I have 2. One is black to match the black trim on one 46 gal bowfront and the other is the oak to match the other trim on the 46 gal bowfront. One has 3 shelves on each side and a door that magnetically closes on the front. The black one has no shelves but the same door that opens to the storage area. You can tuck away spare filters, food, Python syphon and such in there. Plenty of room. I've put the link to one that looks like the black one I have below..except mine isn't metal..Mine is a heavy duty formed material it looks like. I would definitely make sure that anything you get is solid topped so entire bottom of aquarium is supported. Don't get just a rim frame. Hope this helps!

I'm also having this issue. None of the filters here on Amazon seem to be the requisite (approximately) 6-3/4 diameter that would work. Right now I'm thinking I'll buy this larger size Counter Composter Replacement Filters: Large 2 Gallon, and cut it down to the correct size. It may be something that could be purchased elsewhere, but I'm just not finding it on Amazon. It is more than a bit frustrating!

I have mine sitting on the floor didn't use a stand for either tort house that I own. you could use an old coffee table, card table or make a stand for it. A larger 50 gallon breed stand may fit it.

I put the bottle on one of the "spikes" on the bottom rack to help it stand up and didnt have that problem. I did read on line that someone else had your same problem. As I said, mine worked fine and the dishwasher is really clean inside. Maybe try it again by "spiking" it.

Doug - not sure I understand your question..but: The lip of the bowl stands 6 ¼" above the countertop. You need a separate faucet mounted either behind or to the side of the bowl with the spigot extending over the bowl. This faucet spigot needs to be 8-9" above the countertop (i.e., about 2" above the lip of the bowl) to work properly. Don't get one too high or it will splash too much in the bowl and get in the way when in use. Hope this helps.

check out Ekobrew single serve paper filter. I ordered this item. Will let you know results later when order arrives.

Hi Greg!Thanks for the response. I can't seem to find this stand at any major retailer. :/ Any other ideas?

I was able to place my 20 gallon on the bottom of the stand but did not keep it there. The reason is because petco did not cover anything about using the bottom to hold a 20 gallon. This could cause one big issue for you as well the fish in both tanks. So my advice would be not to try it! You could always contact the company and ask them directly but more likely get told nearly what I covered. I hope that helps you out.

I think it would be better vertical. The reasons are: it would be difficult to get the filter cartridge aligned when installing it and when you remove the bowl all the water would pour out when you unscrew it.

The decor tray is totally removable. It fits inside a recessed portion of the filter (where the water is flowing down). Hope that helps!

The one I purchased did not come with a stand. i don't know if Castlecreek has one that they sell with a stand. Just a tip that I got from another buyer, I used a half cinder block, put a piece of sprinkler pipe in it and use that as my stand, however, mine is on dirt, not a hard surface, and I set it down in the ground a little. Much cheaper than a stand if you're able to do something like that.

It fits in the bottom of the waterfall space, it's designed for tetra waterfall filter. If you have the waterfall device, in the bottom there is a removable plastic shelf that keeps this replacement filter off the bottom. This replacement is the size of the filter. Questions, Google tetra waterfall replacement filter for exact measurements, you can also cut to size.

Hi, There is a tiny set screw in the back of the faucet that has to be kept in place. It is right at the base of the faucet where it sits in the collar. It is very hard to see and my son in law had to sit on the counter to put it back in place. I took a picture but I can't get it to post. Put a mirror behind the faucet and you will be able to see it just above the collar. I hope that helps.

It is relatively soft and flexible so it cannot stand by itself. You could make a screen frame with material from the hardware store and use it to keep the filter in place.

You can just put it on the table besides your sink. So you don't need to move it to wash dishes or sink. There is a valve accompanied to let you very easily choose purified water or normal water. So you don't need to remove the whole filter.

Greetings Crystal: Yes, the Goldwell 3 step metal stand should be able to withstand a 5 gallon "glass" bottle. I placed my water crock along with my full 5 gallon BPA free water bottle on top and 2 more 5 gallon filled bottles underneath it and so far, no problems at all. So that's over 15+ gallons of water already on the stand. I've had this stand since February 2013 from Amazon. The stand itself is very sturdy, has a glossy finish and the design looks great. The only tiny issue I had was assembling the last screw in the middle, it was pretty tough. Other than that, the instruction was very easy to follow. I hope this helps you in deciding. Have a good weekend.
