This system holds 6 gallons and 2 Black Berkey water purification elements are included. You can filter up to 6.5 gallons per hour. You can add 6 more Black Berkey elements (for a total of 8) which would allow you to purify up to 26 gallons per hour.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Superb and easy to assemble
I ordered the Crown Berkey last year and have been using it since then.
It arrived within the specified time in great condition. I had ordered 2 additional black ceramic filters to use in the Berkey and those arrived in the same package as well.
It is so easy to assemble..I had it together in less than half an hour.
No electricity required for the Berkey to do its job and those ceramic filters last for years with minimal cleanup required every few months.
The water from the Berkey definitely tastes better than water straight from the tap.
It is easy to refill...although I don't have a sink hose that can be used to add water directly to the Berkey, it is no problem using a jug to add water.
Since I have the Berkey kept on my kitchen counter, it is not possible to look into the chamber from above unless I hop onto a chair or something but instead, I just hold the reflective lid above the Berkey to see what the water level is at...

Berkey Water Filters are outstanding!
I received my Berkey anxiously and put it to work immediately. My water smells "swampy" right out of the tap. The smell is removed once filtered. I am pleased to report that this product operates as described. The stainless steel dispenser is pleasing to the eye. I did elect to get the optional sight glass. However, I removed it and put back the original spigot. The sight glass starts to leak out of the top of the sight glass when more than approximately 3 gallons are in the bottom tank. I prefer to fill my Berkey at night and have it filter while I sleep. All of my water for cooking goes through the Berkey. I have a ppm meter but haven't recorded the difference between the Berkey, Tap and Ozarka (Delivered Water). The smell test is enough for me to use the water for cooking/coffee. I am more interested in Fluoride removal and will buy the appropriate filters for that purpose in the future. I highly recommend this system.
Very Good, Not Perfect
My old water distiler broke after 10 years of use. I wanted a replacement water purifier system that didn't use $60/mo. of electricity (HI elec rates). I chose the Crown Berkey.
After 2 weeks of using the black charcoal filter, I decided that I didn't care for the taste. It's better than tap, but not as good as distilled. I purchased 4 7" white ceramic filters and now the water tastes better, but still not as good as distilled, but still good enough for me now.
Cons:
1. Taste. Standard charcoal filters are not good enough for me. Ceramic is better, but adds cost.
BTW I called Berkey customer service and they did have a bad batch of charcoal filters in April and May of 2011. They fixed the problem and to indicate the fix, new filters have a black grey (not just black) base color with ribbing/manufacturing marks.
2. Flow rate.
Berkey claims that a Crown Berkey with 2 black filters has a "flow rate" of 6 gallons per hour...
