When it comes to gravity-fed water filtration systems, Berkey has long been a household name. But a new contender—BeyondWater—is making waves with its cleaner design, advanced filtration technology, and all-in-one simplicity. If you’re shopping for a gravity filter that removes fluoride and other contaminants efficiently, this comparison will help you make the right choice.
BeyondWater’s Ceramic filter is compatible with your Berkey System!
1. All-in-One Filter vs Add-On Fluoride Filters
🔹 Berkey:
- Uses black carbon filters for general purification.
- Requires separate white plastic fluoride filters that sit in your clean water.
- These add-ons increase complexity and cost.
🔹
BeyondWater:
- Uses an all-in-one ceramic filter that removes fluoride without add-ons.
- No plastic components come in contact with your filtered water.
- Filters are housed in the top chamber, above the clean water zone.
2. Plastic in Your Drinking Water?
⚠️ Berkey’s Design Flaw:
To remove fluoride, Berkey’s white plastic filters are submerged in the bottom chamber, where your drinking water is stored. This raises concerns about:
- Potential leaching of microplastics.
- Contamination from aging plastic components.
- Hygiene issues and cleaning challenges.
✅ BeyondWater’s Clean Approach:
- No plastic filters touching your clean water.
- All filtration happens above the waterline.
- Safer, cleaner, and built with health in mind.
3. Simplicity & Modern Design
Berkey:
- Requires managing multiple filters with different lifespans.
- Clunky design with visible plastic add-ons.
- Not intuitive for the average user.
BeyondWater:
- Simplified ceramic filters with carbon core that handle everything.
- Modern stainless and glass aesthetics with an integrated water level window.
- Streamlined and user-friendly design.
4. Cost of Ownership
💸 Berkey:
- Initial unit price may be reasonable.
- But the need for extra fluoride filters adds up quickly.
- Multiple replacement schedules = more maintenance effort and cost.
💧 BeyondWater:
- No hidden filter add-ons.
- All-in-one design means lower total cost over time.
- Less to manage, easier to maintain.
5. Visual Innovation & Transparency
BeyondWater embraces a modern, high-tech design with features like:
- Transparent gravity vision water level window (on stainless models) so you can see water levels at a glance.
- Sleek all-glass housing (on Ultra models).
- No plastic clutter or hidden filter attachments.
Berkey, while functional, hasn’t changed much visually in over a decade.
✅ Final Verdict: BeyondWater Is the Smarter Choice
Let’s summarize the key differences:
| Feature | Berkey | BeyondWater |
|---|---|---|
| Fluoride Filtration | Requires plastic add-ons | All-in-one ceramic filter |
| Plastic Contact | Filters sit in water | No plastic touches water |
| Design | Outdated & bulky | Sleek, modern, intuitive |
| Total Cost | Higher over time | More cost-effective |
Bottom Line: If you want a low-maintenance, plastic-free, all-in-one gravity filter that just works, BeyondWater is the clear winner.
Make the switch and enjoy the difference.
