I've wanted a Berkey water filter for ages, so I was super happy to finally get my hands on one and review it for the blog. Berkey essentially produces the gold standard of water filters. Their filters produce the cleanest water imaginable regardless of the original source.

Final Thoughts

At first glance, it is evident that that the Travel Berkey Filter is made of solid, quality materials and is rather sleek and elegant in appearance. The system takes a fair amount of assembly but is easily achieved with the handy instruction manual provided. The trickiest part for us was priming the filters, which took a few tries to get enough pressure built to prime them, but once they were primed it was smooth sailing. Putting the parts together was super easy! We were excited to take our first sip of filtered water and we were not disappointed. At first sip, my first thoughts were "this is the best tasting water I've ever had". Water filtered through this system truly tastes amazing and it feels good knowing you are not putting harmful chemicals in your body. If water purity is a concern of yours, I highly recommend you look into getting a Berkey System for yourself—you will not be disappointed!
