This system comes with 4 WHITE CERAMIC WATER FILTERS - The Canisters come with attractive water proof label as depicted in product images.
The "Big Berkey® Non Embossed systems (no Berkey logo) with Super Sterasyl™ Ceramic Filtration Elements" is part of the British Berkefeld® product line that comes packaged in a British Berkefeld® shipping box. This system was manufactured and assembled in England. (The print on the shipping box does not say "Big Berkey®").
This tried-and-true Ceramic Filter technology (in continual use since 1827) was the best option for gravity fed water filters, before Black Berkey® Purification Elements were developed by NMCL.
We have a few of these that are factory blemished with discounts - Choose from the dropdown menu. They come with cosmetic damage such as light scratches, small dents, dimpled or other imperfections
Ceramic Filters can be replaced with Black Berkey® Purification Elements (sold Separately) and used in this system. When the ceramic filters expire, you may replace with Black Berkey Purification Elements
