Berkey Filters has compiled this online resource to educate and assist our customers. A complete set of manuals, instructions and a video series to explain tasks and routine maintenance that are related to your water filtration system. Not all of the information presented on this page is directly related to Berkey products but to the water filter industry in general, this allows you to read the information and educate yourself so you are in a better position to make an informed decision. Our instructional video series is designed to present you a more understandable way of performing sometimes confusing but simple tasks.

This page is a work in progress and information is added on a regular basis in order to help our valuable customers. Please feel free to browse this section and if you cannot find what you are looking for or have a suggestion on a topic that would be useful to others please let us know so we can work on adding it to the learning center.
