I've had my Berkey for over 10 years and absolutely have loved it. Great tasting, clean water. Only need to prime the filters every couple months, and it really doesn't take too long. However, the last filter I bought in 2021 was a huge headache. It had to be primed every week. After priming it would filter and drain very well into the tank below, but within a couple days it would slow down and by a week or so it would barely drip at all, so I had to reprime. I eventually completely removed the flouride filters because those made it even slower. After a year and a half of this, I couldn't stand it any more and got new filters. I generally replace filters every 2 years, but was done with all the messing around and just wanted to start fresh. I have no idea why, but I'm having worse trouble with these new ones. I only get good flow for one day, maybe 2, then it slows down considerably. I have to reprime twice a week, and in the meantime my family is drinking from plastic water bottles because the Berkey will not produce anymore. This is VERY frustrating and I can't figure out why this is happening. Like I said, they worked great for the first 10 years, now it's a struggle. The only answer I get is prime for longer and scrub the filters for longer. Done this, it doesn't help with anything. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Have you used the British Berkefeld filter? They are more affordable in the UK and would love your opinion in them.

Sure, most of these videos are using old faucets. Easy peasey.
How about using the new modern sinks wide a wide end. Doesn't work. I'm frustrated!!!

There must be a better way to get water in the black filters. A funnel? Small hose?

Screw Berkey , im switching to pro one ( they never have stock, but still better) . The berkey system is too messy and annoying to prime. After 4 years, bye berkey.Hope you get an easier priming system.

I'm having a problem with the water filtering through too fast. It's a steady stream not droplets and haven't found anyone having this issue.

Here I am after 48hrs of reinstalling new filters 2 black, 2 white, with no filtering flow of water at all & wondering what I had done wrong. Looks like I did not prime the black ones long enough and the filters were only seeping through 1/2 way, which made them not work at all. This time I checked before adding the 2 gallons making sure the filters dripped first. So far so good. Thanks for the tips.

So if the water sprays all over you can’t tell if it beads up… and setting up is it normal for the water to just run through???

A friend helped me set up my new Berkey today. Maybe I’m alone in feeling this, but I felt the process was very complicated. I had no idea we’d have to prime black & white filters, which we struggled with and which took forever, then test with red dye, etc. Fortunately, he was very good at bolting everything together, but even he was frustrated at how long it took and at the difficulty. I hope this was all worth it because I have to be honest here and say that if I knew ahead what would be involved, I likely never would have purchased this.

Very helpful, thank you. I had a spray tap insert on my kitchen tap, meaning it was hard to get the pressure to prime the filter. I got round it by using my outdoor hose tap in the garden which has a higher pressure single stream of water.
