Big Berkey Gravity Water Filter (2.25 gal)
This 2.25-gallon gravity filter has a 304 stainless steel housing and runs without electricity. Its elements remove microplastics, PFAS, lead and more, and they last for years.
Good to know: The spigot and the filter element housings carry a little polymer; both chambers are stainless steel.
Why we picked it
Pour water in the top chamber and gravity pulls it through the elements into the bottom one, shedding microplastics, PFAS, lead and most everything else testable on the way. It asks for no plumbing or power, and a pair of elements handles about 6,000 gallons before replacement.
The chambers are 304 stainless. The spigot and the filter housings carry small polymer parts, which is standard for the type and worth knowing before you buy.
What it’s made of
304 stainless steel. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.
- Stainless steel
- Food-grade and near-indestructible. Won't shed microplastics.
