Add-ons... I would highly recommend you purchase the water gauge from Berkey and mineral stones. The minerals stones alkaline the water even more and add in some beneficial minerals lost or not originally in the water. Filter 3 full cycles or 6 gallons of water before drinking. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003T46666/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also, if you're really going to go for it, purchase 1-2 glass water jugs for your fridge so you have cold water on hand. Why go through the process of having clean water if you're just going to put it back into a plastic jug?
I live in an apt and this fits perfectly on the counter and doesn't take up too much room. The filter does take a while to get going to it's optimal filtration speed. I normally put water in before I go to bed and in the morning I refill my jugs in the fridge and I've got 2+ gallons of water for the day - which now I find I want to drink! Love, love, love this filter and just wish I had bought it years ago. It would have saved me hundreds (maybe thousands) in bottled water.
Last tip! Make sure to call Berkey within 30 days of purchasing your products on here and they will give you the lifetime warranty for free.
The Travel Berkey was very easy to assemble. The instructions are easy to understand. It takes a little time (maybe 30 minutes), but it's not difficult at all. The assembly required is putting the knob on the lid, flushing out the filters before screwing them into the unit, and screwing the spout onto the unit. Everything is done by hand; no screwdrivers needed. My spout has not leaked even once, so hand tightening is definitely adequate.
I have been learning about how important it is to keep my body in a slightly alkaline state, and so I really wanted my drinking water to be alkaline. Aquasana filtered water was less than 7.0 on the pH chart. I tested my Berkey water the other day and I am happy to say it was at 8.0. I know this will aid me as I continue with the challenge of staying alkaline.
And lastly, the Travel Berkey really is small enough to fit in a suitcase. Of course, you might not get a week's worth of clothes in the suitcase with it, but it will fit. LOL! I am planning to take it with me next time I go to visit my mother out of town because she uses tap water to make coffee and tea and her tap water tastes terrible, besides all the nasty chemicals in the water.
All in all, I love the Berkey and I plan to have one of these forever more. The packaging was perfect and it arrived right on time. I am a perfectly happy customer. And if you're wondering if I am paid or get any service for such a raving review, the answer is no. I just want to give a good review on a product I'm very happy with because I really do depend on reviews when I'm shopping around and I figure other people do as well.
NO SUCH LUCK. But first, when I flushed out the filters, I had a problem with a flouride one. They are filled with white grains, and there is a little netting to hold the stuff in. You should expect some grains to come out at first, but on one, it seemed the netting was missing or faulty. I called the number in the box, and they said they would send a new pair (they only come in pairs). I wanted to try the water immediately, so I plugged up that side and filtered my first tank.
It tasted of RUST. So I emptied it and scrubbed and tried again -- same problem. TIP: before you assemble, carefully check the inside for any rust. You might even let a little water stand in the bottom overnight and taste the water. Once rust is started, you cannot stop it by cleaning! So TAKE A PHOTO BEFORE CLEANING IT AND SEND IT BACK!. I called again and sent them photos -- they immediately sent a new bottom and a pair of flouride filters, and emailed a return shipping label. It works great and the water is amazing.
Another note, they say you can hand-tighten the spigot. I have the travel-size, so the curvature is greater than on the larger sizes. I don't know whose hands they think are that strong, but mine are not! I had to use pliers (carefully) and keep testing until no water dribbled out. I gave it a 1/8 of a turn each time, and it took 4 times before the water stopped dribbling - test OVERNIGHT - the last leak was very slow. Do not turn the spigot, it is not that strong -- turn the inside nut.
In spite of my "lemon" experience, I love the product. And the customer service # was answered on Sunday! And I received the new parts on Thursday!

Es war zwar keine Anleitung dabei, aber was soll’s. Dafür gibt es YouTube. Dort kann man sich genau anschauen, wie es gemacht wird.
Der Berkey Wasserfilter ist sehr hochwertig in der Verarbeitung, es hat nichts gefehlt, somit konnten wir direkt starten.
Ich hatte ihn aus gesundheitlichen Gründen gekauft um das Wasser, welches ich zum Trinken und Kochen verwende optimal zu reinigen. Und das tut dieser Wasserfilter auch. Den Unterschied kann man ganz klar rausschmecken.
Das Wasser schmeckt gefiltert ganz rein und klar.
Von mir gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Der Händler ist auch sehr nett. Ersatzteile werden prompt geliefert. Der Kunde wird ernst genommen.
Ideal para ir de acampada u otras situaciones donde el agua sea de dudosa calidad.. Mejor prevenir que padecer
Lo recomiendo :)
