The most extensive Berkey Water Filter System, holding six gallons of drinking water, is great for large families. When fully equipped with 8 Black Berkey® Elements, it can provide water for 20+ people at home, churches, hospitals, and orphanages.

We built on the three known factors we discovered while developing the Imperial Berkey. First, the upper container height was increased for the Crown. This added height produced the increased pressure needed to push higher volumes of water through the Black Berkey® Elements. Secondly, the diameter was increased to increase the number of filters to eight. This more significant number of filters produced a 33% increase in filtering surface area over the Imperial. Lastly, we increased the height and diameter of the lower water storage container. This new container held six gallons of drinking water, making it large enough to sustain water levels during peak usage demands. We discovered during earlier tests that drinking water needs came in waves, and a larger storage container was needed to prevent it from running dry during these times. 

Now, customers looking to purchase a single water filtering device capable of supplying the demands of large groups of up to 150 people for a prolonged period of time need to look no further. Rest assured that if disaster strikes, you will still have significant problems, but one of those problems will not be the availability of drinking water. The Crown includes everything you need to produce drinking water minutes after assembly. It takes only 10-15 minutes to assemble and requires no special knowledge or tools.
