I bought this two years ago and haven't used it yet. Do I need to buy filters for it?

If you don't have filters, then you will need to buy them The Berkey Royal normally comes with two black filters. There are four holes for filter attachments on the bottom of the upper chamber. If you only use two filters you need to plug the remaining open holes with the plugs included with your Berkey. I use four filters. Two Berkey Black BB9 Purification filters and two Berkey PF-2 Fluoride/Arsenic Filters. I believe I get the best purification possible with this set-up.

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.

It should come with two or four charcoal filters which gets rid of the majority of contaminants, although fluoride and chlorine are additional filters which may/or may not be included in your purchase. whatever the case you should be able to set this up in a flash. The charcoal filters look like black tapered cylinders that attach to the top portion of the Berkley system while the other filters fit at the lower half.

It comes with a filter. But it's the kind that you wash. You shouldn't need to replace the filter unless it breaks for some reason.

I bought an open box item that didn't come with filters. I use these filters: Vacmaster VRC2 2.5 Gallon Cloth Vacuum Filter, 3 Pack, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MUAGF0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, there is a filter in the unit. I also purchased an extra filter to be prepared when it's time to change it. From other posts on Amazon, I believe the original filter lasts about a year. I've had it for about 6 months and haven't had to change it yet. Hope that helps!

No filters needed. But if you install it with a direct plumbing line you do need to install an ice machine/refrigerator filter indeed. You don't "have" to, BUT I highly recommend it.

No. I haven't used mine for over a year. I can't find replacement filters. Where do you get your filters?

It comes with all the filters you need. It says they will last for 6 months. Then I believe you will have to order the replacements.

No you do not filters. You do need to use distilled water. This product works very well. You will love this product. You do need the oil that they recommend for this product. It can run not stop for 3 hours then shut off when the water is low or it can run for 7 hours.

Yes, the two filters that are needed to run the humidifier are included with the unit. There are instructions in the manual as to how to clean the filters and get a little more use out of them.

It doesn't need a filter. The way it's made is a filter in itself. Hope that help!

Mine came with a filter. I didn't install, but the person who did seemed to have everything he needed (i.e. he didn't tell me we needed other parts/equipment). Filters lasts about 6 mos.

No, no filters needed. I suspect it would be enough if you have normal air issues. Stinky dog, frequently used cat box, not so much.

You can buy a filter for it, but it is not required to make it work. I use distilled water in mine and there is no danger.

No it does not need a filter. Pretty simple machine we use daily and my son loves it.

As far as I've seen, you shouldn't need a filter after the unit. We have one anyway, to catch anything that goes through during the backwash process (while the unit is not filtering the water).
