Water Filter System Comparison Chart

Compare Berkey to other popular water filters.

By comparison Berkey water filters outperform commercially available water filters in almost all categories. But don't take our word for it. We searched for water filter comparison on Google and found the most popular comparison chart and it soon became apparent why Berkey did not show up in their testing results. We plugged our most popular model, the Big Berkey, into this same chart and thought you might be interested in the results. We did add two new columns to take into account for the fact that Black Berkey water filters last 10 times longer than our competition and also removes viruses. Side by side, Berkey rises to the top of all charts that compare water filters. Do your own research and find out why Berkey water Filters are the ultimate in water filtration.
