How the Crown Berkey Water Filter Works
The Crown Berkey Water Filter system is constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel and comes complete with 2 Black Berkey filtration elements (expandable to 8), 2 chambers (upper and lower), a lid, a nylon spigot (can be upgraded to a stainless steel spigot, sight glass spigot, or stainless waterview spigot), a rubber gasket base, and 2 blocking plugs. The system also includes a Primerite Kit, an anti-airlock clip, and red food dye for testing.
The Crown Berkey Water Filter can treat any water sourceโwell water, tap water, or untreated water in regions where water quality may be questionable. Perfect for large families, offices, small businesses, or anywhere you need high-capacity access to clean drinking water.
If you're concerned about arsenic and/or fluoride in your drinking water, you can install a set of 2 Berkey PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic filters (or up to 8) into the lower chamber as an optional add-on.
