BorouxFoundation. Black Replacement Water Filter - Replacement For Berkey BB9-2 and Gravity-Fed Water Filter Systems

This is my first replacement for the black filters since purchasing the Berkey system a couple years ago. There were no issues with installation or leakage. I always add the Fluoride filters on the bottom and they fit perfectly.

They finally came and these guys have pulled off perfection once again. I recently put their black spigot on my beloved zero metallic taste all glass “The Water Machine” and won’t ever stop smiling about how well it’s made and works after trying/experiencing endless crappy spigots, and now they’ve clearly perfected the filters as well. Not only do they filter/function excellent, they seat in the chamber better than all the others I’ve had over the years and come with an awesome/effective priming system and the test dye. All these guys have to do to now to be the reigning champions of this version of water filtering (imo) is offer a “perfect” all glass version, an option for a version of Santevia’s mineral rocks for both the minerals and bumping things alkaline a couple degrees, and a heavy duty reversible stand that can be either the common 6 inches or higher at 9 for tall water bottles, stock pots, etc (like mine is) since their spigot never splashes at any level you put it. If they do I’ll start buying them to gift to everyone I care about. Why skimp on your water?

The media could not be loaded. Easy to install, looks more substantial and better built than the original Berkey filters and passes the red dye test.

I’ve been using Berkey filters for about 10 years. This is the first time I’ve bought this brand and the water does not taste good. Unfortunately, I waited too long to return it. It has a very distinct and strong taste and I don’t like it at all. I did a taste test and the water coming straight out of the sink tastes better and more neutral than the water that comes out of these filters. If I can’t find a good replacement filter, I’ll have to find another brand of water filter altogether.

When I couldn't locate any Berkey brand black filters ANYWHERE, I did an online chat on the Berkey website, asking where I could find their replacement filters. They proceeded to gaslight me by sending me to non-existent websites of retail distributors or ones that showed SOLD OUT only. Did a lot of lengthy research, then came back to the chat and explained that I had discovered the REAL story about the FDA yanking them from sale. That's when I found out that Berkey already KNEW about it and had sent me on a wild goose chase. Boroux has stepped in to fill the void with a comparable, compatible, available, and arguably less expensive version. Beautiful packaging PLUS each pair of filters comes with a primer and dye reset that Berkey charges an extra $20 for. Berkey says they're gearing up to start manufacturing their black filters again, but for me, it's a case of too little too late. I'm sticking with Boroux.

We have used our Berkey for years and I love the asthetic and the long-lasting filters. I understand that recent events with the EPA have questioned the efficacy of those filters. I tried to learn more about this and honestly just got really confused. But I want a gravity powered (no electricity needed) option to make our water healthier, and I don’t want to buy a new filter every 1-4 months.Enter Boroux!! Who answered my prayers and needs! I am so glad that these filters are compatible with the system I already have, and that they are fully honest and transparent in their claims with the facts/proof to back it up.I am so thankful that this affordable and reliable solution is on the market. Seriously, God bless you guys! Having a system like this can last my family years and I feel great about drinking this water. Simple and delicious, as water should be! 🤩

I have a small Berkeya nd with it being just my husband and I, I waited double the reccomended time to replace the filtersa nd found that Berkey was sold out, well, after 2 years of waiting for an in-stock notification and getting none, i did a little research and found out why- Berkey can;t hold up to it's claims and so they have to prove it or stop selling, so they stopped selling. I got these to replace my berkey filters and they fit great and work with the flouride filterzs as well.

I updated my rating when Amazon customer service came to my rescue with replacing a defective part quickly. I was impressed. Poor customer service for defect part replacement. Still waiting for response from 12 days ago. Installation was not easy. The water taste is exceptionally great. Thanks.
