I think a few of you have a Berkey system.

Based on research...it looks like the best way to go.

I see Amazon has lower prices than the Berkey web site...any reason why I should pay more to buy directly from Berkey?

...and on the Big Berkey, comes with 2 filters...any big reason to up it to 4?...just the two of us and the 2 gives us enough over the course of a day...so, I can't see tossing in the other 2 filters.

 

Thanks

Nope, go with the cheapest,  they are the exact same.  I have spare filters just in case.

check out Directive21.com also.  He's the largest Berkey distributor in the country.

Might have better pricing and his customer service is outstanding.

Since you use the Berkey for all your water needs spotted, how often do you have to replace the filters?
