Berkey Water Filter systems are great, but they are not for everybody. Another great option is Acuva Water Purification Systems. Take a look at some of the pros and cons, the good and bad, of the Berkey system. We’ve been using it for over a year while traveling full-time in an RV and we’ve learned a lot.

One thing is for sure though, having clean water is very important. There are numerous ways to filter or purify your water. Make sure to test your water supply to know if you need additional filtration. And if you spend a lot of time traveling like we do, do yourself a favor and assume you should always be filtering your water.

Would we have purchased the Berkey if we knew then what we know now? That’s just one of many things we discuss in this video.

DIY Big Berkey Style Water Filter System with 5 Gallon Buckets (for 1/4 the cost)

DIY Big Berkey Style Water Filter System with 5 Gallon Buckets (for 1/4 the cost)



Berkey water filters such as the Big Berkey have become the standard in free-standing, home water filtration systems. But with a price tag of $300, I wanted something that was a lot less expensive. So using (BPA-free, food-grade) buckets and the same type of filter elements that the Berkey systems use, I was able to build my own high-capacity water filtering system for 75% less than the Big Berkey costs.
————————————–
Here are the materials I used:

Waterdrop BB9-2 Filter Elements (2 Pack)

Or see these filters on Amazon:

5-Gallon Food-Grade Buckets

Bucket Lids

Water Cooler Spigot

Also, Berkey makes a manual filter priming gadget for this type of filter element (that doesn’t require running water pressure):
