Berkey filter compatibility
All Berkey systems work with a single main filter.
There are not multiple filters to choose from depending on the model: compatibility depends solely on the number of filters installed and the options added, not the type of filter.
Which filter to use with a Berkey system?
All Berkey systems we offer are compatible with the Phoenix Berkey filter.
Key points:
→ A Berkey system always works with a main filter
→ Filtration quality is identical across all models
→ The number of filters only affects the flow rate
Recommended number of filters per system
| Berkey system | Compatible main filter | Number of filters |
|---|---|---|
| Travel Berkey | Phoenix Berkey | 1 to 2 |
| Big Berkey | Phoenix Berkey | 2 to 4 |
| Royal Berkey | Phoenix Berkey | 2 to 4 |
| Imperial Berkey | Phoenix Berkey | 4 to 6 |
Additional filters
Depending on your needs, it is possible to add PF-2 filters in addition to the main filter.
These filters are optional and respond to specific uses.
