Water is the essence of our existence and something most of us take for granted everyday. We use water for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and most importantly to keep our bodies functioning and hydrated. Without water a person would ultimately die in only a matter of days. I never really worried about our water until a few years ago when I received a letter in the mail from our town’s water department. The letter came basically telling us that they had to inform the residents of a contamination found in the water supply. It went on to say that it was nothing to worry about but it was law that they had to inform everyone that it had been found. Now do you want to hear the scary part? Not only did we receive this notice once but we actually received it two more times over the course of a year. It’s been several years since this occurred but it’s still in the back of my mind when my family drinks a glass of water.
To help put our minds at ease about 4 years ago we purchased a snazzy water cooler that we can put large gallons of water on top. This was fine for about the first few months and then it not only became incredibly expensive to purchase new bottles but it was a hassle to have to run to the store when we ran out. After searching around for alternatives I found BigBerkeyWaterFilters.comand my Big Berkey obsession began. If you have never heard of the Big Berkey it’s basically the creme de le creme of Water Filters. Berkey water filters are made by an American company and have been in business for many years serving customers all over the world. These gravity water filters have such a great reputation that they are trusted and used by relief organizations such as UNICEF, The Red Cross, Peace Corps and they are used by the Royal Family in England.
We received the Royal Berkeyto review. Right off the bat I was impressed with how great this looked in my kitchen. It goes with all of my stainless steel and black appliances. Set up was incredibly easy taking my husband a few minutes to get it up and going. No tools, electricity, water pressure or plumbing are required to make the system run. It is built to be used even in emergencies when these things fail or are not working.
The Royal Berkey has a handy spout at the bottom making it very easy to dispense water even for my 3 year old. She is able to place her cup under the spout and fill her cup up. There are so many aspects to the Royal Berkey that I love but the most important is that it gives me peace of mind that my family are all drinking water that is free from harmful contaminants. Investing in a quality water filter will give you peace of mind not only in normal circumstances but also in emergencies when clean water isn’t available.
