Family-owned and operated in Pueblo, Colorado, since the late 1990s, Berkey has become a household name when it comes to water filtration. While they are most known for their large-scale filtration systems that can purify tap water for an entire household, they also offer a unique shower filter that can remove harmful contaminants from your shower water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When reviewing the Berkey Shower Filter, we found that while the design isn’t the most pleasing to the eye, the long-lasting filter (rated for 30,000 gallons) and easy-to-replace housing make it a great value for those looking to improve the quality of their shower water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this review, we’re going to take a close look at the features of the Berkey Shower Filter, how it works, and what others are saying about it. We’ll also provide our thoughts on whether or not we think it’s worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s begin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shaped similar to an oil filter, the Berkey Shower Filter is a teardrop in-line shower filter that can be easily installed. While not the most pleasing to the eye, the shower filter is well-designed, nevertheless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With offset line attachments, the Berkey gains an advantage over many other shower filters, including the AquaBliss SF100<\/a> or Sonaki 300VPX<\/a>, as it won’t add a significant amount of length between the shower arm and shower head.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why would this be a problem, you might wonder?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, when you add an in-line shower filter, it will lower the shower head several inches, which may be problematic if you don’t have much clearance, to begin with. Additionally, if you have taller family members who will be using the shower, they may need to duck their heads down when showering to avoid hitting the shower head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the unusual design of the Berkey Shower Filter, this won’t be a problem as the shower filter only adds about 1.5″ to the length of your shower head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, when it comes time to replace the cartridge, the separate canister is easy to access and remove. This is a significant advantage over shower filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
