Royal Berkey Water Filter Review

January 27, 2020

We have well water, but when it gets really low (not often, but it has one time), it gets a brownish color and I just can’t drink it (duh!). So, we buy a lot of bottled water, even though well water is supposed to be really good for you (no fluoride, etc. in it). However, I just don’t like the ‘taste‘ of our water. I can’t explain it. That is where a filter comes in and the Royal Berkey Water Filter is our newest BFF!

We drink SO much water, so we used to buy SO many bottled water plastic containers, ugh! It was getting worse. Thankfully, the Royal Berkey water filter system has been saving us (and the planet!) because it safely and efficiently (and easily) filters our water in a nice-looking stainless Steele tank. It matches our kitchen and looks great on our countertop.

Royal Berkey Water Filter

The Berkey Water Filter is perfect for medium to larger families. The storage capacity is about 3.25 gallons (12.3 liters). If you prefer a smaller size you can go with the Big Berkey. You can take the Berkey Water Filter with you on camping trips, outdoors for a barbecue with family and friends, or use it for unexpected emergencies. Our Berkey water filter tank is ALWAYS full.

When this first arrived, I opened the box and pulled it out. There were a few pieces to it, I won’t lie. It looked confusing to me. However, I discovered after reading the directions on how to put it together, I felt more at ease. It took a bit to get it all together (hey, I had young kids to look after!), but once it was set up, it was easy going from there.

Why Should You Buy The Berkey Water Filter System?

There are several reasons why, but I will write about the most important ones. The Royal Berkey System removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts, and parasites (eww!!!) entirely and extracts harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, organic solvents, radon 222, and trihalomethanes. All of those harmful things are filtered from your water!

This system is so powerful that it can also remove food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs! No other filter system can do that! Talk about AMAZING! If that right there doesn’t convince you to buy this amazing water filter system (or at least look into it more), I am not sure what else I can say!

    Sounds awesome! The well water at our new house is not great. We’ve been lugging the gallon jugs from the supermarket on a weekly basis, so having an awesome filter at home would be amazing!
