British Berkefeld 6L Stainless Steel Gravity Water Filter System | Comes With 2 Ultra Sterasyl Cartridges | Great Tasting Clean Water | No Power Or Plumbing Required | For Home Or Outdoor Use

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the British Berkefeld Gravity Water Filter System late last year due to growing concerns about our tap water, which had started to taste strange, was often fizzy, and occasionally appeared cloudy. The system arrived promptly, and I was immediately impressed by the meticulous packaging. Every component, including the sleek 8.5L stainless steel unit and the two Doulton Ceramic Ultra Sterasyl Cartridges, was well-protected, ensuring they arrived in perfect condition.The system itself is not only stylish but also robust and durable. Setting it up was straightforward thanks to the clear instructions provided.As a gravity-based system, it’s incredibly easy to use – you simply pour tap water into the upper chamber and let gravity handle the filtration process.The filters are exceptional, efficiently removing 99.99% of common contaminants such as PFAS, bacteria, chlorine, cysts, microplastics, heavy metals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Doulton also offers filters designed to remove fluoride, but since Essex and Suffolk water do not currently add fluoride to their water treatment in my area, there’s no need for those yet. However, I’ll definitely purchase them if the situation changes.Given the deteriorating state of our water infrastructure and the frequent reports of contaminants entering the water system, it’s essential to take measures to ensure the safety of our drinking water. As someone who drinks about 3-5 litres of water throughout the day, I don't want to take any chances with my health or my family's.The difference in taste and clarity between tap water and filtered water is truly remarkable. Our tap water used to have a sweet taste and was sometimes murky. Now, we enjoy crystal clear, great-tasting water without any unpleasant aftertaste. The filters offer excellent value for money, especially considering they only need to be changed every six months. Cleaning them with a brush or scotch pad can also extend their lifespan.The 8.5L capacity is perfect for my family’s daily needs, reducing the frequency of refills. The system handles a large volume of water with ease, making it ideal for both drinking and cooking purposes.For the 8.5L size, I recommend running at least 3 full containers' worth of water through the filters initially to remove any ceramic residue, which can make the water appear slightly milky.The only aspect of this product that bothered me was the spigot. It comes with a black plastic spigot that feels quite weak and looks out of place on an otherwise nearly all-stainless steel unit. For the price I paid, I would have expected a stainless steel spigot. I assume the plastic is BPA-free since the system is designed to filter out contaminants, including microplastics, but this isn't mentioned anywhere. Not wanting to take any chances, I decided to replace it with a stainless steel spigot, which you can purchase relatively cheaply on here.Additionally, the spigot is positioned very close to the base of the bottom container, so the system needs to be placed on the edge of a countertop or elevated on a stand to fit a glass or bottle underneath it. I opted for a base stand, which is also available on here. Though it isn't cheap, it does a fantastic job and looks great, as seen in my photos.Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase. The British Berkefeld Gravity Water Filter System is a fantastic product. It provides clean, great-tasting water, is easy to use, and represents excellent value for money. The initial investment is offset by the long-lasting filters and the significant improvement in water quality. The ceramic filters are durable and easy to clean, which adds to the overall convenience and cost-effectiveness of the system.I highly recommend this filter to anyone seeking a reliable and efficient water filtration solution.Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.

Great product that is simple and effective in providing great tasting, filtered drinking water. Good volume also, you don't have to keep topping up as much as other products. Filter candles last up to 6 months.

The British Berkefeld Gravity Water Filter works amazingly well! The water tastes fantastic, and it's reassuring to know it removes such a wide range of contaminants. It's incredibly convenient to use anywhere without plumbing or power. The only minor issue was the plastic spigot, which could feel a bit flimsy—but it's easily replaceable. Overall, a top-quality product from a trusted brand with a long history of excellence. Highly recommended!

Gravity water filter with two ceramic filters fitted in top compartment. Overall priming the filters was the main time consuming task to set up and it took considerably effort to get the filters functioning you need alot of patience. Now its a good addition for the home and a nice glass of water ....

We are never drinking tap water again! We found out the really taste of pure water, only then did we realise the amount of chemicals the water authority puts in your drinking water, and we live in North East England where the water quality is supposed to be the best in the country! Tap water in London has been through on average, 9 people by the time you drink it. The filters last forever as you just need to brush them under a running tap to clean them every 12 months, then you'll see the visual crap that's filter out! It's shocking. This is ideal for preppers like us. Very sturdy and well made, worth the price when on offer. Tip, buy 2 replacement filters just in case and DON'T handle them by bare hand!

Love this. Water Certainly tastes better and I hopefully it’s cleaner and better for my family. Even the dog prefers this to regular tap water 🙈😂

Great product does the job BUT !!!! . it is supplied with a poxy little useless not fit for purpose water tap. I'm not joking, £160.00 and the tap is lesser quality than you find on disposable keg Ale. I have never seen anything so poor - shockingly bad on an otherwise excellent product. The tap leaks, doesn't function when less than 50% filled and just twists and leaks - the rubber seals supplied are just pathetically poor.

Top quality product from a British manufacturer that sells these globally. Use to filter your water at home, take camping, use off grid or just keep for an emergency. The plastic tap has been fine for me but I am aware has been an issue for others. There's an OEM stainless replacement and Amazon offer other alternatives. I happly filter and drink rain water/river water etc after passing it through this. Highly recommended
