Our review
Because the surface can be scrubbed to restore flow, their effective cost per gallon is among the lowest in gravity filtration. Essential maintenance for any Berkey owner.
Pros
- Exceptional 6,000-gallon life per pair
- Cleanable to restore flow
Limits
- Higher upfront cost than disposable cartridges
- Slow gravity flow
The HU recommendation
Keep a spare pair on hand so you're never without filtration. Track your gallons — performance, not just taste, declines once elements are spent.
