Big Berkey Water Filter System

Capacity: 2.25 Gallons (8.5 L)
Material: 304 AISI Stainless Steel
Finish: High Polish Stainless Steel

Its size and holding capacity make the Big Berkey a highly adaptable unit. It is ideal for medium-sized families of one to four people, and this Berkey filter model is compact enough to easily fit into an RV, tiny house, or cabin.

In emergencies, the Big Berkey system is also large enough to keep over a dozen people hydrated with purified water. Just be sure to use all four filters.


Since the Big Berkey holds 2.25 gallons, it will take about two hours and fifteen minutes for the entire upper chamber to be filtered through to the bottom chamber. Of course, there are some variances, and it may filter faster or slower based on different scenarios.

Big Berkey FAQs

  • Is lead removed from the water by Big Berkey? Yes, the Black Berkey Filters included with a Big Berkey purchase remove 99.9% of lead, as well as other heavy metals.
  • Does the Big Berkey change the pH of my water?  Depending on the type of source water poured into the Berkey, the pH of the water may change after filtering through the system. The pH level may increase if the water is polluted, causing it to be more acidic, purifying it will increase the pH to a neutral 7. 
  • Can the Big Berkey soften hard water? No, Berkey water filters are NOT water softeners. The Black Berkey Filters keep the beneficial minerals in the water, which is what makes water "hard."
  • How do I know if my Big Berkey is working properly? The Red Dye Test is a great way to confirm the Black Berkey Filters are still in good shape, and that no unwanted contaminants are passing through.
