The Big Berkey System can be used on a countertop in your kitchen or office to transform bad-tasting tap water into delicious drinking water that's also ideal for making your favorite beverages or cooking. Or, take it along with you in the great outdoors as a convenient, reliable potable water source for camping, fishing, RVing, off-grid living and in emergencies, disaster preparedness and recovery scenarios. The Big Berkey Water Filter System is constructed of durable, highly polished AISI 304 stainless steel, and can filter water for about 1-4 people each day—no tools, electricity, or plumbing are required. Just pour tap water or untreated water into the top chamber and dispense clean, refreshing water from the spigot. Add additional Black Berkey Elements, sold in sets of 2, to increase the flow rate (the Big Berkey System can hold a maximum of 4 Black Berkey Elements). Black Berkey Elements have been tested by accredited third-party labs that have reported that the elements remove or reduce over 200+ typical contaminants found in tap water and other freshwater sources. We recommend replacing Black Berkey Elements after 6,000 gallons. Elements may require replacement sooner based upon the quality of influent water. Each additional pair of Black Berkey Elements (sold separately) adds an additional 6,000 gallons of contaminant reduction to your system. From the Manufacturer Made for the extreme and enjoyed every day, Berkey systems are the gold standard in gravity-fed water systems. Berkey systems have been the trusted choice of adventurers, relief agencies, preppers, off-grid homesteaders, and families for over 20 years.

This just highlights the heavy metals. Hope this helps! **Q: How often are filter changes required under normal city water conditions?** A: It depends on how much water you filter & how many filters you use (2 or 4). Also, normal city water varies due to local water hardness. We fill up the filter 1 to 2 times per day (usually twice) with 4 & change them every 6 months, but if we didn't have kids, our filters would probably last us about twice as long. However, this is still cheaper than other filtering methods we've used & does a much better job. **Q: How does Calif prop 65 relate to this product??** A: There's plastic in it (the screws) so that sets off prop 65. The Plastic itself is safe but in the manufacturing some things are used that aren't. Prop 65 is waay too vast to be useful. **Q: Do the black filters remove lead?** A: Tests show the Black Berkey filters remove up to 95% of lead and a host of other heavy metals. ## Frequently Bought Together - Big Berkey Gravity-Fed Stainless Steel Countertop Water Filter System 2.25 Gallon with 2 Authentic Black Berkey Elements BB9-2 Filters - Medium Berkey Base Stainless Steel Stand Raises Your Big Berkey Water Filter System 6" Above Countertop for Easier Dispensing of Filtered Water - Genuine Berkey Stainless Steel Spigot --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/253652119-big-gravity-fed-water-filter-with-2-black-elements-provides](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/253652119-big-gravity-fed-water-filter-with-2-black-elements-provides) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
