WaterdropGravity-fed Water Filter System, with Upgrade 3 Black Carbon Filters and Metal Spigot, 9000 Gallon Longer Lifespan and 150% Faster Flow, King Tank Series, 2.25G

I recently purchased the Waterdrop 2.25G Gravity-fed Water Filter System, and I am very happy with it. I was pleasantly surprised that it was easy to assemble, even for my 80-year-old mother. The 2.25-gallon container is just the right size for an average two-person household. The filter system removes all weird tastes and odors, and it filters water very quickly. The spigot on the tank is well-designed and helps you determine the water level, which reduces water spillage from overfilling the tank. This system works as described and arrived on time. I would say that it is a good investment that is well worth the money. In addition to providing clean, great-tasting water, it also helps reduce landfill waste and global warming.

I did quite a bit of research before buying this specific unit as it's filters look to be (2nd hand info here) the best overall at filtering everything that is being tested. I have a well and it does a great job of killing the metallic flavor that I get with the high rust content. I specifically use this filter for my cooking water and it's been amazing to cook pasta that actually tastes normal without having to buy gallon jugs of bottled water. I am planning to replace the spout on the filter with the plastic model from another vendor as a precaution. I have not read of any issues with the metal spout on this particular model, but many of the other clones do not use food safe metals in their spouts which eventually corrode. I have the new one on order. Given the price of this unit, the extra $30 for a plastic spout to make me feel better is a drop in the bucket of how much I saved. BTW, if you own a Berkey which you may not be able to get filters for soon due to their legal troubles, the filters for this unit fit in the Berkey and are significantly less expensive (as well as better as they actually pass basic water safety testing). Best of luck!

Our Waterdrop gravity-fed water filter system is amazing! The water tastes amazing- our water is heavily chlorinated where we live, and this system removes the smell, too! Very easy to put together and we're able to keep it right near the kitchen sink for easy refills. Highly recommend this product.

We bought our 2.25 gallon (Big Berkey) system 10 years ago and we have loved it. However, I always knew that, should we be in an emergency situation, I would need more water filter capacity than what we have. This year, I decided it was time to increase that capacity. Yet, the cost of the Berkeys has more than doubled since our initial purchase.I took a look at Waterdrop, read their reviews and decided to go forward. I do wish that I could have purchased the 3. 25 gallon size, but they don't offer that. To my surprise, the stainless steel container is nicer quality and it is even prettier! The sight view water spigot is also better because of the little red dot that helps you see the water line with more easeWe did not order the one with 4 holes (for the flouride filters) because there has been a pledge that flouride will be removed from our drinking water in the new year.After the 2nd flush of water running through the system, the filters worked great although I have not done the red dye test on them yet. I can always revert back to using the VERY overpriced Berkey filters if I am not pleased with the Waterdrop ones.I am just grateful that I have an alternative that isn't so pricey.I am VERY PLEASED with this product.

We really enjoy this water filter system. It has taken our very rusty water and made it taste great. We tried filtering soft water through it and there was still a hint of softness, but much better. The filter system itself functions as it should. No leaking unless overfilled and the assembly was very easy.

I bought these filters based on all of the 4/5 star reviews which I find stunning. I can only surmise that people arechecking the “5-star” for ease of installing” because they ARE easy to install. You just place it in hole and screw iton just like the Berkey’s.. It’s not rocket science. Maybe that’s bringing the overall rating up?BUTThese filters don’t even come close to the Berkey filters. After priming them (just like Berkeys) and filling myBerkey with hose water 5- TIMES through the system the water had a pure sickening metallic taste that tookall night to go away.The scariest part is the water from the hose tasted perfectly fine with no after taste of any kind whichmeans these filters are created the disgusting metal taste. All 6- people on our tripsaid the same thing!Like everyone else (guessing here) I bought these filters because the Berkey replacements are stupid expensive.I cannot express how bad the Doulton water tastes, the time it takes for the metallic to leave your mouth andin our group 3- upset stomachs through the night. We use this on our boat and did not bring bottledwater with us. We actually had to pull anchor and go into a marina to buy water.Extremely upsetting and scary putting “God knows what” into our bodies. Who really knowswhat’s inside of them since they don’t go into detail.Since I’m past the 30-day return time I’m stuck with them. I’ll start saving up for the Berkeyfilters and use bottled water until I can buy the real ones again.In 15- years this is the worst “knockoff” product I’ve ever bought. Lesson learned.We have the Berkey King and use 4- of the black filters.. with no fluoride filters.With the Berkey King and 4- Berkey filters the water tastes delicious, which is anodd thing to say as it has no taste at all. Those who use Berkey will understand...Save up for the Berkey!

Recieved the system on time and in good condition. Flushing the filters was not a big deal, and putting it together was easy. One of the carbon filter tips did break off in the fluoride filter, but customer service was amazing! Krystal with customer service was very responsive and quickly set up a delivery of replacement filters! Customer service was exceptional! I would recommend this product.
