I was using plastic bottles and this is my savior. I own one for two years now and it was the best investment I did as I get to filter and purify my tap water which is the same water that we buy bottled in the UAE unless it is mineral water coming from a source. It is very economical to run, much cheaper than the water bottles and you avoid all the pasticizers in the plastic bottles which are harmful to our health. The water also tastes great. I also bought a water Carbonator so I filter my own water then carbonate and do my own fizzy water or any drink I would like with fresh fruits, avoiding sodas that are full of sugar. This is the best investment you can do to yourself and your family. Review: جدا ممتاز يصفي بشكل ممتاز ## Features - ENJOY GREAT-TASTING TAP WATER EVERY DAY AT HOME- The 2.25-gallon Big Berkey System can be used on a countertop in your kitchen or office to transform tap water into delicious drinking water that's also ideal for making your favorite beverages or cooking. - INDEPENDENT TESTING- Black Berkey Elements (the original BB9-2) are composed of a unique, proprietary blend of multiple media types backed by testing from accredited, third-party labs. Black Berkey Elements remove or dramatically reduce over 250+ typical contaminants that could be present in freshwater sources—no electricity, tools, or plumbing are required. - INCLUDES AUTHENTIC BLACK BERKEY ELEMENTS (THE ORIGINAL BB9-2)- Don't fall for lookalike filters that use our Berkey BB9-2 model number or trademarks in their titles or product descriptions to legitimize their brand as replacements or "compatible", when they are not.

Each pair of Black Berkey Elements lasts for up to 6,000 gallons before replacement is recommended. Elements may require replacement sooner based upon the quality of influent water.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent filter and taste at a great price *by R***B on 21 March 2020* It’s an excellent water purifier.

We didn't want to go with the typical, mainstream brita water filter or the one that connects to a faucet. We have had those before and the filter has to be changed frequently. We liked that the Berkey filters out forever chemicals, specifically the chemicals spilled during the derailment. It also filters out over 200 contaminants, chemicals and bacteria. Setup was fairly easy, however priming the elements was challenging due to the adapter that fit onto our faucet which was a struggle. The life span of the filters is amazing, as they only need to be changed every 11,000 gallons. Although the filters are pricey, around $170ish for 2, they are worth it in the long run. Using the filter is easy. Once set up, just pour water in the top, put the lid back on and you're good to go. Quality of the materials is unmatched. We purchased a stand off Amazon that elevates the element, which you definitely need. Hoping to get the stainless steel spigot soon to replace the plastic one that came with the product. Lastly, I have to say the water tastes AMAZING. Like water should taste. It rivals the taste of Fiji, our preferred bottled water. Our family initially made fun of us for spending so much money on a water filter, but once they tasted it they plan on purchasing one. I was never a big water drinker before, but now I find myself drinking lots of it. We fill up multiple containers of it whenever we leave the house. Great product, give it a try! ## 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.fr/products/253652119-big-gravity-fed-water-filter-with-2-black-elements-provides](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/253652119-big-gravity-fed-water-filter-with-2-black-elements-provides) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
