Review: I used the Big Berkey water filter every day for the last year and now I can’t go back
One of the ultimate goals of any prepper is to find products that seamlessly integrate into everyday life. It's one thing to buy something and store it on a shelf, waiting for an emergency. But the real value comes when you get benefits both in daily use and during a crisis—essentially, you're paying for something you wanted anyway, and getting free preparedness in return.
A countertop water filter is one of the best examples of this dual-purpose concept, and the **$280 Big Berkey** is the undisputed leader in this category. The takeaway from this review is simple: if you're looking for a reliable countertop water filter, the Berkey is an excellent choice.
**Review**: Best Water Filters for Your Home
Many experienced preppers already know about the Berkey because it’s such a well-known and trusted product. However, it's worth highlighting again for those new to the community. Countertop filters are a graceful and impactful way to increase your preparedness without sacrificing style or convenience.
**Value in Daily Life**:
- You get clean, great-tasting water on demand.
- It looks sleek and doesn’t look out of place in a modern kitchen.
- Unlike pitcher filters, countertop models last much longer.
- No installation required—just set it on the counter.
- No slow dripping; water is filtered over time and ready when you need it.
- You avoid the environmental harm of single-use plastic bottles and support sustainable living.
**Value in an Emergency**:
Imagine you’re stuck at home during a water outage or a boil water advisory. You need to treat wild water, but how? Plumbed-in systems like reverse osmosis won’t work with untreated water, and pitchers are too small for long-term use. That’s where the Berkey shines—it can handle large volumes of water and is easy to use in any situation.
**Testing Notes**:
We were provided with a sample one year ago when supply chains were chaotic. One issue in this market is that all Berkeys are sold through third-party resellers, not directly by New Millennium Concepts. While there are some unreliable sellers, **BigBerkeyWaterFilters.com** is a trustworthy option.
We planned to do a head-to-head test with other top gravity filters, but due to inventory issues during the pandemic, we couldn't get all the competitors. Instead, we’ve used the Berkey as our main water source for the past year, giving us a real-world feel for its performance and usability.
Once we have more options, we’ll update our comparison article with more detailed testing, including durability tests like dropping the units to see how they hold up.
**Berkey Basics**:
The design is simple yet effective: two stainless steel containers stack on top of each other. The top holds dirty water, which flows down through the filters and into the bottom container via gravity. A spigot at the bottom makes it easy to access clean water.
You can even build a similar system using 5-gallon buckets, though the Berkey offers a more polished and efficient solution.
The **Black filters** ($120 per pair) are reusable and replaceable. They clearly list the contaminants they remove on the packaging. We've been using two of them in our household, and after a year, they’ve only needed one cleaning. With proper maintenance, they could last even longer.
Cleaning the unit is straightforward. The stainless steel body is easy to wipe down, and the filters take just a few minutes to clean and reinsert.
The flow rate is decent, though it takes a few hours to fully filter a full tank. Once the filters are primed, the process becomes faster. Just be aware that Berkey filters don’t work with softened water.
**Aftermarket Stands Are a Must-Have**:
While the Berkey can sit on a counter, a stand makes it much easier to use. We tried it on the edge of our sink for a couple of days before investing in a $35 Amazon stand, which made a huge difference. It gives more flexibility and keeps the counter space clear.
**Price Concerns**:
We believe the Berkey is slightly overpriced compared to what we'd expect for a product of this quality. The materials, especially the plastic components, feel cheap. A stainless steel spigot would be a welcome improvement.
**Sight Glass Spigot – Not Worth It for Most**:
The sight glass spigot ($55) allows you to check the water level without lifting the top. However, it has several drawbacks: it conflicts with the stainless steel spigot, doesn’t work with fluoride filters, and is prone to damage. Unless you have mobility issues, it's probably not worth the extra cost.
Overall, the Berkey is a solid investment for anyone looking to improve their water quality and preparedness. It’s durable, effective, and blends well into everyday life. If you're serious about being ready, the Big Berkey is hard to beat.
