British Berkefeld is the original brand of gravity filter systems, with a rich history dating back to 1826 when Royal Doulton craftsmen created their first ceramic gravity filters to purify drinking water. This iconic brand is still made in Britain, but now with modern ceramic gravity filter technology and stainless steel gravity filter housings.
British Berkefeld gravity systems come in 1L, 6L, 8.5L and 12L sizes, with Ultra Sterasyl or Ultra Fluoride replacement filters.
British Berkefeld gravity systems and British Berkefeld ceramic replacement filters for gravity systems are certified to NSF standards.
The 6L, 8.5L and 12L stainless steel systems come with a removable label and a plastic spigot. [An optional NSF-certified steel spigot is available.]

Berkey was issued a Stop Sale Order by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency USA) in December 2023 due to Berkey’s unregistered use of silver in Black Berkey elements, and because of Berkey’s labelling and contaminant reduction claims.
