Why Families Choose Royal Berkey
The 3.25-gallon Royal Berkey is the ideal size for medium to large families. With capacity for 2-6 people and the fastest filtration rate, it delivers powerful purification for households that need consistent access to clean water.
Removes 200+ Contaminants
Powerful Black Berkey filters remove PFAS, lead, chlorine, mercury, arsenic, VOCs, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and hundreds more at industry-leading reduction rates.
Perfect for Families
3.25-gallon capacity serves 2-6 people comfortably. Large enough for family use, yet compact enough to fit on most countertops without taking over your kitchen.
Fast Filtration
Filter up to 4 gallons per hour with 2 filters (8 GPH with 4 filters). Expandable from 2 to 4 Black Berkey elements for even faster flow rates when you need it.
Works Anywhere
No electricity or water pressure needed. Perfect for everyday use, camping, emergency preparedness, off-grid living, or anywhere clean water is a priority. Gravity does the work.
Saves Thousands vs Bottled Water
Just pennies per gallon. A family of 4 drinking bottled water spends $500+ annually. The Royal Berkey pays for itself in months while delivering superior filtration.

Constructed from 304 stainless steel. Backed by our exclusive lifetime warranty on hardware purchased through this website. This is the last water filter you'll ever buy.
What Black Berkey Filters Remove
Black Berkey Elements remove over 200 contaminants at industry-leading reduction rates
When fitted with authentic Black Berkey elements, this system is so powerful it can remove food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can duplicate this performance.
How the Royal Berkey Water Filter Works
The Royal Berkey Water Filter system is constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel and comes complete with 2 Black Berkey filtration elements (expandable to 4), 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 Royal Berkey Water Filter can treat any water sourceโwell water, tap water, or untreated water in regions where water quality may be questionable. Perfect for families, offices, or anywhere you need reliable 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 4) into the lower chamber as an optional add-on.
Flow Rate & Fluoride Removal
Max Filtration Flow Rate:
- With 2 Black Berkey Elements: Up to 4 gallons per hour
- With 4 Black Berkey Elements: Up to 8 gallons per hour
Fluoride Removal: Up to 4 PF-2 fluoride and arsenic reduction filters may be installed in the lower chamber if desired. With the optional PF-2 filters, you're no longer at the mercy of town water fluoridation practices.
