Berkey Value vs the rest

Berkey VS. Water Cooler Jugs

"Berkey systems provide high-quality water filtration, continuous access to the best filtered water, a wide range of filtration contaminates, and are cost-effective in the long run, while water cooler systems have an initial cost of $150-$250 and a continuous cost of $5-$10 per 5-gallon jug and require carrying and replacing heavy jugs with limited filtration options, usually reverse osmosis with non of the beneficial minerals."

Advantages of Berkey system:

• High-quality water filtration
• Continuous access to filtered water
• No need to carry and replace heavy jugs
• Wide range of filtration options
• Cost-effective in the long run
• Keeps natural minerals

• Initial cost of $150-$250
• Continuous cost of $5-$10 per 5-gallon jug
• Carrying and replacing heavy jugs
• Limited filtration options
• usually reverse osmosis (no natural minerals with RO)

The Berkey not only offers the best value, especially over time due to its long-lasting filter elements, but it also outperforms the competition in water purification with its Gold standard! View the results of independent third-party lab tests by clicking here.

Berkey VS Reverse Osmosis

Berkey water filters are a highly effective and cost-efficient solution for filtering drinking water. With a 99.99999% bacteria removal rate, the Berkey system is designed to leave beneficial minerals in the water while removing harmful contaminants. Its easy assembly, low maintenance requirements, and lack of electrical requirements make it a convenient option for a wide range of households. Additionally, its efficiency, not wasting any water, and cost-effectiveness, costing less than 6 cents per gallon, make it an attractive alternative to reverse osmosis systems.

In contrast, reverse osmosis systems strip out beneficial minerals from the water, potentially making it harmful to the body. Some reverse osmosis systems may not remove all pathogenic bacteria and require frequent filter replacements, as well as bladder tank cleaning. Installing a reverse osmosis system requires plumbing knowledge, and it also requires electricity to operate. Furthermore, reverse osmosis systems are less efficient, wasting water in the filtration process, and are more expensive, costing between 20-65 cents per gallon.

 Berkey:

• Leaves beneficial minerals in water
• Has a 99.99999% bacteria removal rate
• Easy to install, no plumbing required
• Low maintenance, long lifespan
• Does not require electricity
• Efficient, does not waste water
• Cost-effective, less than 6 cents per gallon

Reverse Osmosis:

• Strips out beneficial minerals from water
• May not remove all pathogenic bacteria
• Requires plumbing knowledge for installation
• Frequent filter replacements and bladder tank cleaning required
• Requires electricity
• Less efficient, wastes water
• More expensive, 20-65 cents per gallon
