GIVEAWAY: Big Berkey Water Purifier

big berkey water purifier pleasant hill grain

Clean, pure water shouldn’t be so hard to come by. Year after year, we get new government funded studies demonstrating just how poisonous our nation’s tap water is. Lead. Arsenic. Drugs. Pesticides. Fluoride. Chlorine and Chloramines. All of these toxins are not only regularly found in municipal water supplies, but they also routinely surpass government-approved “safe” levels.

Just last year, the U.S. Government Accountability Office released a report created using EPA-collected data showing that states misreported 26 percent of health-related violations and 84 percent of monitoring violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. What does this report mean to you?

If you’re trusting your government to keep your tap water supply safe and clean, don’t. Instead, safe drinking water is something you need to control for you and your family.

And what’s the absolute BEST performing water purifier for your home? Hands down, The Big Berkey. This week, I’m excited to be giving away a Big Berkey Water Purifier to one of my lucky readers.


Thanks to the generosity of one of my newest sponsors, Pleasant Hill Grain, one of you readers will win a flashy new Big Berkey Water Purifier this week!

What You’ll Win

The Big Berkey Water Purifier system is not only one of the most effective water purifiers on the planet, it’s also one of the most economical. That’s because it purifies without electricity or moving parts. It can also purify water from any source — city tap water, well water, even stagnant ponds. And, unlike many available water purifiers on the market, it keeps healthy trace minerals in the water instead of removing them.

It does take up counter space, but its attractive stainless steel exterior ensures that it won’t clash with your home’s interior. Its lower storage tank holds 2 1/4 gallons at a time, and it can purify that amount of water in about a half hour using plain old gravity.

How To Enter

To enter the giveaway, just use the Rafflecopter widget below.

The giveaway ends Monday, October 15th at midnight PST. The winner will be announced later that week. Good luck.

      I live in Willimantic, CT and filter my city water currently with a very simple filter that for the most part does the trick….however I’m not sure that fluoride is filtered out according to the research on the filter! My town still uses fluoride treatment in our water supply. I happen to have been diagnosed with heavy metal toxicity about 2+ years ago and have been slowly naturally chelating it out of my system! A better filter like the Berkley system would add to my healing, I have no doubt! Thanks for the chance to win!! What an opportunity!!

    I am using a pitcher filter right now, which is a hassle and I suspect that it doesn’t do much anyway. I’d love to drink clean water from a Berkey!

  13. Mary
    October 11, 2012 | 6:27 am

    What a fabulous system. We use filtered water now, but only a little Brita pitcher. Since water is our major family beverage (& crucial to kombucha production) it would be grand to have a high quality filtration system.

  14. Cherese
    October 11, 2012 | 6:38 am

    I have been looking at this water purifier for a year. Some things always seems to come up just as I am ready to buy.

    October 11, 2012 | 7:44 am

    We just moved into an apartment after living in a house with an installed purifier. We have a Pur filter, but I know it doesn’t get rid of everything. Would love to have a Berkey!

  25. Melissa
    October 11, 2012 | 7:51 am

    I would love a reliable filtration system that works even if power is unavailable.

  26. Charis
    October 11, 2012 | 7:53 am

    We would love a Berkey to purify our water. We currently just use the filter that comes on our fridge, but we know that isn’t enough. Our city has been debating eliminating flouride from our water, but can’t seem to make the decision fast enough!

  27. Eileen
    October 11, 2012 | 7:59 am

    That purifier is beautiful & functional. Win-win!

  28. rosie_kate
    October 11, 2012 | 8:07 am

    What a great giveaway! We have a well, but the water is so rusty that it’s undrinkable. We currently use a different brand of gravity filter (AquaRain) but it’s a different kind of element and we have a lot of trouble with it getting clogged up and then it hardly filters at all.

  29. TaraD
    October 11, 2012 | 8:14 am

    I have wanted a Big Berkey for so long! We live on an army post and the tap water tastes awful.

  30. Karen D
    October 11, 2012 | 8:19 am

    I have city water, and now use several pitcher filters to have un-fluoridated water for cooking: sourdough, tempeh, tofu, et al. The Berkey would make this so much easier (and free up precious counter space.

  31. annette

    wow, i would love one for my family.

  32. Jess

  38. Holly
    October 11, 2012 | 9:11 am

    Our four dogs & cat ask to go outside to drink rain water instead of our tap water. My hope is that a Berkley would produce water that our boys would lap up with relish!

  39. Kelsey G
    October 11, 2012 | 9:40 am

    Water is the stuff life is made of – buying water bottles is simply not a sustainable way for my family to get filtered, fresh, clean water. This water filter would provide a perfect solution!

    I would love a Berkey to get the purest, cleanest water since I realized how dangerous tap water is & even the “ingredients” in bottled water is not safe.

    October 11, 2012 | 10:13 am

    I really, really, really want a Burkey!!! We live in town and have city water. We really need a water filtration system. We only drink water from our filtered fridge water faucet, but it’s not getting all the nasty stuff out. I’d LOVE to win this!

  53. Charlotte
    October 11, 2012 | 10:43 am

    I’d love the purifier because the city of Portland has recently taken it upon themselves to ignore their voters and residents and have chosen to fluoridate the water. I want to take control back and decide for myself what does and doesn’t belong in our water!

  54. Melanie
    October 11, 2012 | 10:44 am

    I have been checking out this filter for several months! I want one so bad! My filter in my refrigerator just doesn’t cut it!

    October 11, 2012 | 10:44 am

    My wife and I have been wanting one of these for ages, but state laws here in California prohibit the purchase of them (ugh!)… however we can win one and that’s perfectly legal! :)

  56. Jasmine
    October 11, 2012 | 10:45 am

  74. Kris
    October 11, 2012 | 10:49 am

    I think the Berkey water filter would be perfect for my home and my cabin. We have lovely mountain spring water at the cabin but as cattle roam in Idaho and the springs have not been adequately fenced the Berkey would make our mountain water perfect for drinking and we could once again enjoy it.

  75. analise
    October 11, 2012 | 10:49 am

    oh what a great give away!! i would love love love this filter for my family… especially my two year old son. he has severe allergies/eczema and we’re working on healing… in the meantime, our tap water causes outbreaks – whether drinking, in the shower, etc… thank you!!

  79. Blaine
    October 11, 2012 | 10:50 am

  90. Tanya
    October 11, 2012 | 10:53 am

    Yes, I’ve so wanted a Stainless Steel Big Berkey. I love that’s table top, it looks nice and most important it will filter our water and make it pure and safe to drink. We are big believers in going non-disposable and don’t buy bottled water so home filtration is for us!
    Thanks for the chance to win:-).

    October 11, 2012 | 10:53 am

  93. Marilyn
    October 11, 2012 | 10:53 am

    I would love to win one of these! We try to use filtered water, but only have the small Brita pitcher and square Brita fridge filter container… we live in the country, and the landowner adjacent to us sprays herbicides and pesticides on his property, which I am thinking probably leach down into the groundwater… since we have well water, it’s a concern to me… this Berkey water purifier would be perfect for us!! :)

    Perfect for work — i spend so much money buying bottled water for work, it would be nice to have purified water instead

    I am trying to get my husband on board to save for one of these.

  102. Natasha Boss
    October 11, 2012 | 10:57 am

    I want a Berkey because in the long run, it will save a lot of money not having to fill our 5 gallon jugs for water. Also, in an emergency we would still have access to clean water.

  103. Heather
    October 11, 2012 | 10:58 am

    Berkey is the ONLY water purifier that filters out all microbes, odors and bad flavors – even chlorine! And I have a hunch – all that fluoride. It is the cleanest tasting water!!! And they’ve got one for everybody, even the hiker who wants to scoop up some water on a walk.

  104. Rachel F
    October 11, 2012 | 10:58 am

    I’ve wanted one of these for so long. A great filter!

  105. Renee Burbol
    October 11, 2012 | 10:58 am

    Wow! I never even knew something like this existed! My fiance had his colon removed due to a very rare form of genetic colon cancer (FAP). As a result, he needs to drink a TON of water to stay hydrated (since your colon is what soaks up your water intake). We go through mountains of PUR filters and I have been concerned that even though we filter, it doesn’t catch everything. I have city water and it comes out of the tap smelling like bleach!! It’s awful! This would be AMAZING!!!

    October 11, 2012 | 10:59 am

    I want a Berkey water purifier because they are the premiere water filter (top of the line) and I love that they have a large capacity!

  110. Amanda
    October 11, 2012 | 10:59 am

    i want to win because i’ve been saving up my pennies to buy one!!! that and i know i need to upgrade from my pur faucet filter. who knows if that thing filters anything. thanks for the chance!

  111. Valerie B.
    October 11, 2012 | 10:59 am

    I would love to win this because it would mean the world to my husband who has really been wanting us to focus on having clean water at all times and a general survival plan in case of emergency.

    I live in Portland, OR and the local govt. is trying to push adding fluoride to the city water. I will need a filter!

  122. Heather R.

  123. Kelly
    October 11, 2012 | 11:03 am

    It’s so scary what’s in our water supply these days. I’ve been thinking of getting a nice water filter and winning one would be perfect :)

  124. Don Don

    A friend has a “Big Berkie” and I love the water that comes from the filtration process!

  125. Jessica Rollins

  127. Mike

    I go through a ton of water every day making coffee and just drinking it. This would make it less of a hassle to refill all the time.

  128. renee
    October 11, 2012 | 11:06 am

    I want one because I want the purest healthiest water possible for my family. I hate to think what our two young girls are drinking through our water.

  129. carrie
    October 11, 2012 | 11:06 am

    With a family of 6 and little ones in the house. We need to have clean water and can’t afford to buy a filter like this!

  131. Kesh
    October 11, 2012 | 11:07 am

    I am trying to live a healthier life and having a clean source of water would be a tremendous help! Bottled water is such a waste bit you never know what you’re getting from the tap.

  132. Kathleen Yoneyama
    October 11, 2012 | 11:07 am

    I would love to be able to have very clean water for my family. We currently filter, but it doesn’t seem to be enough…I can still taste chlorine!

  133. Mary Claybrook
    October 11, 2012 | 11:08 am

    We have fluoride in our water.. it would be great to have a way to get it out!!

  134. Amanda
    October 11, 2012 | 11:08 am

    Thank you so much for a chance to win!!! I am very excited :) I would love to win the Big Berkey purifier. I now live in the city after living the first 25 years of my life in the county. We had well water, so I was shocked at the taste and smell of the city water. The chlorine smell is awful. I have been concerned drinking the city water and cooking with it. We currently use a pitcher filter and I know it doesn’t get rid of everything. Would LOVE to win the Big Berkey and not have to be worried about the water we drink!

  135. Peggy Carr
    October 11, 2012 | 11:08 am

    I’ve been saving my money for one of these fabulous water purifiers. It will be a while before I can afford one. I’d sure like to win this and use the money to buy extra filters.

  136. Kristen S
    October 11, 2012 | 11:08 am

    I am sooo tired of lugging all of our containers to Whole Foods and filling up with water that isn’t even the greatest, but at least better than our tap water…I would LOVE LOVE a Berkey Purifier!!! So neat!!

  137. gretchen

      Sorry- WHY: We have a really hard time drinking ‘tap’ water and the reverse osmosis we buy from the store tastes weird too! I’d love to have something that would help water taste good!

  139. Christine Smith

  143. Helen
    October 11, 2012 | 11:10 am

    Though a small pitcher filter is practical for our constantly moving family, it doesn’t seem like the best working option. No point in investing in an installed filter system either. But, it would definitely be worth packing this awesome filter up every year to get the piece of mind!

  144. Sherri
    October 11, 2012 | 11:11 am

    This would be great to have. Did not know this existed!

  145. Judy C
    October 11, 2012 | 11:11 am

    I’ve wanted a berkey for soooo long!! Our water is also fluoridated…ugh. Future mother in law has one, and the water tastes so much better than ours.

  146. Matt
    October 11, 2012 | 11:12 am

    I’m entering because I’m increasingly concerned about fluoride in my water. I’m sick of checking WQRs and buying SmartWater (too expensive) and this would be the perfect option!

  147. Melanie
    October 11, 2012 | 11:13 am

    I would love to have a berkey so that I don’t have to travel to fill up my water jugs, and lug them home!

  148. Alan
    October 11, 2012 | 11:14 am

    We need a big birkey because our daughter was diagnosed with toxic lead levels and we think it is our drinking water. We keep buying bottled water but it is a hassle and not as good for us.

  149. Sandra
    October 11, 2012 | 11:14 am

    this is much cheaper than installing a reverse osmosis system! (free would be even better!)

  150. Karen
    October 11, 2012 | 11:14 am

    Chlorine and fluorine are two major factors in why I would LOVE a Berkley. I have chronic Lyme disease and pure water would be another step toward improving my health.

  151. Farmer's City Wife
    October 11, 2012 | 11:15 am

    I was just looking at these earlier this week. My husband carts home well water from his parent’s farm for us to drink because our city tap water tastes like pool water there’s so much chlorine in it. Would love to win one :) .

  152. Marie
    October 11, 2012 | 11:15 am

    I have been wanting to get one of these until we move to the country. Right now you can smell the chlorine coming out of the tap!

  156. Jenny

    It would be so nice to have a great purifier and not have to worry about what my family is drinking!

  157. melyssa
    October 11, 2012 | 11:20 am

    I would love this because water is one soap box I have turned a deaf ear to. Mainly because I know I would be shocked and saddened and forced to sell a small child to pay for a purifier. Since this is a no-no, I would really like to win one!

  158. Jennifer
    October 11, 2012 | 11:20 am

    I’ve been eyeing these and need to get one soon!

    My five year old son had cancer when he was an infant so we make sure everything is healthy for him. We have a PUR water filter on our tap but I’m just afraid it doesn’t filter out enough nasties.

  164. Marsha

    Clean water makes everything taste better….I wanted a Big Berkey so we can drink and cook with water without having to mess with filling our little pitcher so often.

    We live in a farming community, and I’ve always wondered what is floating around in our water. They say our water is excellent, for a small community. But I don’t know who *they* are, nor do I know exactly what they are comparing it too! I attended a local community improvement meeting. The topic of becoming “green” and encouraging “organic” practices was brought up. There was zero support, and too many groans and sarcastic laughs to count.

  173. Charlene
    October 11, 2012 | 11:27 am

    I’ll use this for my family – to be sure we’re not getting anything “mysterious” in our drinking water!

  174. Caroline
    October 11, 2012 | 11:27 am

  179. Melanie Goss
    October 11, 2012 | 11:30 am

    We all know water is necessary, but what the city puts in the water to keep it “clean” is scary. I like the idea of having more control of what I put in my body.

  180. Trish
    October 11, 2012 | 11:30 am

    Our well water runs through two filters before coming into the house but it is also chlorinated to kill things. We use a Brita pitcher for drinking water however, I don’t think it filters as much out as I’d like it to. Sounds like this Big Berkey Water Purifier will do the trick.

  181. Katie Osborne
    October 11, 2012 | 11:31 am

  191. Samantha
    October 11, 2012 | 11:37 am

    I used to live with a family that had a big berkey and it made the water taste amazing! Now I want one for the health benefits even more than the great tasting water (though that is a huge plus!).

    This water filter is such an inspiration. The ones we use at home are plastic, even the lines to the fridge. I know that we’re leaching toxins from it all and feel helpless because the city water is even worse. This is not in our budget and would be such a wonderful gift of health for our children and all in our home. Thanks for the opportunity.

    I’ve wanted one of these for ages but I cannot afford one. It would be great to win one, but alas, I never win anything. I never hurts to try though!

  222. Lisa Palmer
    October 11, 2012 | 11:55 am

    No fluoride and no pharmaceuticals in our water! That’s why I want one! Also expecting again and think it would be so healthy for growing the baby inside me!

  223. AnGela
    October 11, 2012 | 11:57 am

    fluoride sucks! I want one!

  224. Tracy Pace
    October 11, 2012 | 11:57 am

    I LOVE that this is gravity fed. I have been wanting a safer water choice for my family since we live a 100 year old house and worry about what might be leeching into the water from the pipes, let alone the local municipal water source. I’m grateful for the opportunity to win this! :-)

  225. Jamie
    October 11, 2012 | 11:58 am

    Hi. I’d be thrilled to win this not only because I want clean healthy water but I understand that the Berkey water filtration systems are top of the line plus with my budget I wouldn’t be able to get one for a long time and would like to enjoy clean, crisp water as soon as possible. :)

  226. Kathleen
    October 11, 2012 | 12:01 pm

    We’ve wanted a Berkey for a while but just haven’t been able to swing it financially. With 4 kids, it just isn’t in the budget right now. Our fingers are crossed!

  227. Lila
    October 11, 2012 | 12:01 pm

    Water filtration and purification is so important these days. From chlorine, fluoride, to prescription drugs and more, our water has become unsafe to drink. Berkey water filters are superior because they will work under all conditions and still provide pure drinking water.
    Thanks for a terrific giveaway!

  228. Jenny Singley
    October 11, 2012 | 12:02 pm

    It is so much healthier to drink the purifier than tap water!

  229. Bridgette
    October 11, 2012 | 12:04 pm

    I’ve been ogling Berkeys for awhile now!! I’d love to have one so I can be confident I’m giving my family the cleanest, healthiest water.

  230. Alicia
    October 11, 2012 | 12:05 pm

    for my little one!

  231. Debbie
    October 11, 2012 | 12:05 pm

    It’s nice to find a filter that removes so many contaminants in the water. I don’t know if they are all different, but one of the filters has a life span of over 11 years! That is amazing. I would never consider drinking tap water, but with one of these filters, I think I would.

  232. Ericahalstead

    Yes, please! Portland just started putting fluoride in our water. I would love a Berkey!

  236. kelly p.
    October 11, 2012 | 12:10 pm

    I would love this because normal purifiers don’t filter enough out of the filthy water in Philly. We have to use bottled water even to boil pasta. The water here has made us ill for years. I am not convinced that it didn’t play a part in my husband’s cancer. Thank you so much for the chance to win this!!

  237. Susan
    October 11, 2012 | 12:10 pm

    Wonderful giveaway! That purifier is a functional piece of art. I know our industrial water supply is wreaking havoc with our hormones–this is the perfect solution.

  238. Dionne Davis

    October 11, 2012 | 12:12 pm

    First of all thank you so much for having this giveaway! I have been looking at the Berkey for a while now. I just want good clean water for my family to drink. I hate that we have fluoride in our water among so many other things. It would truly be a blessing to win a Berkey.

  242. syreeta jayne
    October 11, 2012 | 12:13 pm

    I’ve wanted a filter for close to a year. there is flouride in Phoenix city water, and I buy bottled water for that reason, but really want a filter so that we can stop having so much waste (bottles).

  243. Adria
    October 11, 2012 | 12:13 pm

    A Berkey filter has been on my wish list for quite a while now. I am very concerned about the levels of flouride that my family and I ingest when we drink our city tap water. I don’t see purchasing bottled water as a viable or sensible option.

  244. Lora
    October 11, 2012 | 12:13 pm

    I REAAAAAAAAAALY want to win this because I live in the first city to add fluoride to the water. No, it hasn’t helped my teeth!

  245. judy
    October 11, 2012 | 12:13 pm

    I would like to win because good health is important to me. I want to do what is best for my kids and that includes giving them safe drinking water

  246. Stacy

  247. Adam Fitzgerald

    I’ve been looking for a way to efficiently filter water for a while now and these Berkeley’s seem like a great product!

  248. Mihaela Froehlich
    October 11, 2012 | 12:17 pm

    I really really really need Berkey because as a military family on a move we are never sure of our water sources. Berkey gives me assurance that my family has clean water without any “additives.” My husband and I had purchased a small one but since had three kids and we are finding ourselves daily in a need of a bigger one. Please, please, please!!!

  249. Allison LeMorta
    October 11, 2012 | 12:18 pm

    I would love to have one of these and ditch my old brita! I don’t want my family to use water bottles anymore either, to much waste. I just want clean water for my family and I wish I could afford to buy one of these!

  250. Katie M
    October 11, 2012 | 12:19 pm

    I would love to win one of these filters, it is not in the budget to buy one right now.

  252. Karen Lee

    I appreciate its large capacity and the fact that it can purify water from a stagnant pond!

  253. Darci
    October 11, 2012 | 12:25 pm

    We live in Portland, OR, which is slated to fluoridate its water supply, after decades of the citizenry saying ‘no’ to said fluoridation. From what I understand, 67% of our populace in Portland does NOT want fluoridation, and yet three city council members appear to be pushing the mandate through (in light of Nestle vying for water bottling rights in the nearby water supply in an area called The Gorge, it would seem we may have some bought politicians working for us at present). Our son is next in line for a series of genetic kidney ailments…we have loved living in Portland for the past 11 years, because we knew that his risk of furthered kidney decline was far less living here than in a fluoridated area. Now I’ll be on a constant worry, even considering to move to another city because of our concern. Having a Big Berkey would help us restore our hope that our son can continue to lead a better life without kidney problems. Thanks for making this giveaway possible, whoever wins it will be blessed!

    I would love a Berkey! Our water is gross. Definatly not what I want my kids to put in their bodies.

  259. Ann
    October 11, 2012 | 12:34 pm

    Have read all info I can about this and have not found any negative for me only a VERY positive way to supply healthy drinking water for my family. To be able to use water that is not already filtered or tap is a HUGE plus! Thank you for offering this give away!

    I woul love to have a Berkey water purifier just for the peace of mind it offers, knowing we would always have access to safe drinking water under any circumstance.

  262. Jennifer
    October 11, 2012 | 12:38 pm

    I would LOVE to have one of these! I live on a farm with a well and do not trust the water at all, so we do WAY too much bottled water. We also tend to lose electricity too often, so this would just fix so many problems. At the very least, I am glad you shared this info. Thanks! :)

  263. Amanda
    October 11, 2012 | 12:39 pm

    I’ve had my eye on a Berkey water purifier for a year now…I would love to have an easy way to filter out the fluoride and all the other junk that comes with city water!!

  264. Aneysa
    October 11, 2012 | 12:39 pm

    Would absolutely love the water purified. I use brita filters for now, but I still feel like its not getting rid of all the bad junk. I have a 3 year old, and my husband living with me and I want the best for all of us.

    I live in housing built on top of an Old Army Ammo and Supply Dump ! O.O , Where we have been told Not to Grow anything to Eat, in the soil because of contamination! Yet our Water pipes run though this same ground! The Idea a the Leaching in this Un-Closed System Terrifies me, I have children drinking this water ! We don’t have the funds to just move so, I use a Reduction Filter But know that it’s only doing half the job :( After reading on the Big Berkley to see the Filter Specs, I realized it is Just the Kind Of Filter I need! Most of the Filters that I have read on have needed Electricity, Well I can’t Always count on that on the Island I live on ! This Is Just what this Familiy Needs!!

  297. Mai Theodocion
    October 11, 2012 | 1:29 pm

    We get a letter from the city just about every month that says our water is not meeting the safety standards. Being a cancer survivor, I know this an important part of my care. So far we have only been able to afford the filter that goes on our refrigerator. This would be an awesome thing for our family to win!!!

  301. Ghada Ibrahim

    I love these Berkey giveaways! Our filter now is just a small Brita pitcher. I would love to get rid of the fluoride, chlorine, etc. in our drinking water as we’ve gotten rid of fluoride toothpaste and no fluoride treatments at the dentist. Not only good for our health, but the health of my kombucha and kefir :)

  310. Susan
    October 11, 2012 | 1:54 pm

    We need this water filter so much! Our current filter needs to be attached to the faucet and isn’t working (and also spraying water all over) in our new apartment! I’ve been eyeing this water filter and have been hoping to save up enough to buy it. Winning it would be SO helpful for our family!

  313. Holly Reed
    October 11, 2012 | 2:03 pm

  315. Kimmie in TX
    October 11, 2012 | 2:09 pm

    I want one because I live in a city that has some of the highest-rated city water for safety, and yet has all kinds of crap in it. And it comes from a nasty, nasty river. Need I say more? We love water in our house, and so we want it to really be good for us too!

  316. Natalie

  328. Kylie
    October 11, 2012 | 2:43 pm

    I want to have a good water purification system that is thorough and easy to take along on moves… we have a Rainsoft system now but I don’t know how much of a pain it will be to transport and I don’t know if it’s really as good as the Berkey.

  329. Heather
    October 11, 2012 | 2:45 pm

    It would be great to have one of these to filter our well water so we can stop purchasing from the store or having to fill up at a friends house for great tasting drinking water!

  330. Rachel Erickson
    October 11, 2012 | 2:47 pm

    Pure water is good for you!

  331. Angela
    October 11, 2012 | 2:48 pm

    We love our berkey, but it isn’t big enough to keep up with our family of 6. I think it is the big berkey. Another one would be great!

  332. Brenda A.
    October 11, 2012 | 2:50 pm

    Fun giveaway! This would be great to have once we hit the road full time in our RV. Would never have to worry about having pure water wherever we go. :)

    I have a small organic spa business and I’ve looked and looked for a healthy alternative to bottled water (something that doesn’t take up much room, is too technical and that I feel comfortable with). This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thanks so much for the opportunity!

    I’ve been trying to win one while at the same time saving for one! Mostly, I really would enjoy having a Berkey so I can get rid of the fluoride in our drinking water, but getting rid of the other nasties in the water is good, too!

    I need a purifier to save money ultimately. We had a Pur filter but it doesn’t get rid of the chlorine they’ve put in our water. We’ve been buying water so that I can grow my water kefir and for cooking because I don’t want the chlorine in my food.

  347. Tami Binder
    October 11, 2012 | 3:18 pm

    We have been wanting a purifier for a while. Been doing alot of research and this one is the BEST! Would love to be able to give my kids a glass of water and not worry about what is in!

    The area where I live is not only “fortified” with fluoride but also contains plenty of farm runoff pesticides. I believe the pricey bottled water sold is, by and large, just fancy tap water, I want my drinking water truly purified of all these contaminates.

  351. Amber
    October 11, 2012 | 3:27 pm

    We totally need this! Our water options are either drink the well water that resembles (in color only, thank God) sewage or hauling in fluoridated town water. If I don’t win this I will be reduced to crying and accusing my husband of not loving/caring about me and his children enough to provide healthy water! Maybe then I will get water filter!

  352. Elaine
    October 11, 2012 | 3:31 pm

    We’re constantly moving and changing our water source. I’d love to have peace of mind that what we’re drinking is consistently good!

  353. Amanda
    October 11, 2012 | 3:31 pm

    We live in AZ & the water here is soo bad & everyone knows not to drink the tap water. Right now we use a water service and it would be so nice to have one of these, it would save us a ton of money!

    I want a Berkey water filter so that my family can have safe, clean, drinking water.

  355. Sharon Campbell-Zeni
    October 11, 2012 | 3:39 pm

    I live in Australia, where they, too, believe in the mass medication of the population by fluoridating our water. The only city in this country that doesn’t add fluoride is Brisbane, but unfortunately, I do not live there.

    I object to having toxic substances in my food and water, and I did not give my permission to be “medicated” by the city. They have no right to pollute the city water.

    I have been struggling to find any sort of filter that would remove fluoride, without much success. So far, the only one that does seem worth buying is the Berkey filter. The only reason I haven’t gotten one already though is the price, which I have found daunting indeed.

    I am tired of worrying about our health and what the long term effects of drinking fluoride are going to be (I already know it’s not doing our teeth any good).

    I would also appreciate the Berkey filter, as I am still looking for a reliable way to filter water if there is an emergency.

    The Berkey Filter would find many uses in my home.

    I would love a Berkey filter because I have thyroid problems and I know removing fluoride would help a lot. (I would buy the separate fluoride filter.) I also want healthy water for my husband and son! I’m saving for a Berkey right now, in fact.

  372. Matt
    October 11, 2012 | 4:03 pm

    I worked at a store that filtered and sold water, along with RO systems. While these were good, they require some knowledge of plumbing etc. The Berkey seems like the perfect solution for myself and my new apartment.

  373. Jennifer Hodson
    October 11, 2012 | 4:08 pm

    I’d love to win the Berkey to help me take care of my multiple sclerosis in a more natural way. I would so love to not be dependent upon very potent (and potentially dangerous) drugs to manage this disease and show my little girl that we CAN heal by taking care of ourselves. I don’t want to teach her through my actions that we must always be dependent upon mainstream medicine for every thing. I understant that sometimes it is necessary for acute situations, but oh how I long to heal from this!

  374. April
    October 11, 2012 | 4:09 pm

    I bought a Brita because I thought that I could at least filter out the Chlorine in our water, only to find out when I received that it only filters out the Chlorine SMELL!! :( So sad! I should have read more closely! It would be so great to get rid of both Chlorine and Floride!!!! I WANT A BERKLEY!!!!

  399. Rachael E
    October 11, 2012 | 6:23 pm

    I would LOVE a Berkey because I live in the Carpet Capital of the US and there are so many chemicals in our air and water because of it. So to be able to drink pure, clean, filtered water would make me feel better about my family’s health. Thanks for the AWESOME giveaway!!

    We live in a very remote area in Colorado and have to haul our water in to our home (it ain’t called The Dry Side of La Plata County for nothin’) and our source of water is considered not-potable, so this filter would be in constant use in our home.

  415. Ouida Lampert

    I want/need a Berkey water purifier because we are currently refilling 5 gallon jugs with no easy way to get the water out. Its the cheapest way for us right now since we don’t have the money to invest in a Berkey, though we would LOVE to have one!!! It would save us money and keep clean pure water available for our growing family!

    I’d love to have a Berkey water purifier because the government and its flouride have left me with a lower IQ. I need a Berkey to reverse that trend.

  473. Lanaestahl

    October 11, 2012 | 9:49 pm

    I have the mercola filter in my bathroom because it doesn’t fit on the facet in the kitchen. I am so sick of not having water in the kitchen because someone didn’t fill up the pitcher and then a child is sleeping… and I just use tap or go without. I need one of these so badly!

  483. Shelley
    October 11, 2012 | 9:55 pm

    Wow – I had never seen this product before. Thanks for the heads up- I LOVE that it doesn’t require electricity so it will continue to work when we have the big storms here in FL!

  484. Jen
    October 11, 2012 | 10:04 pm

  487. Judy J.
    October 11, 2012 | 10:20 pm

    I use two filters prior to drinking our city water and am still unsure about the level of purity. What impresses me is that this system can even filter out food coloring. Amazing. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  488. Irene
    October 11, 2012 | 10:28 pm

    I’d love to win this because my family drinks water as our main beverage. We consume very little other beverages like soft drinks, juice, or even milk. How great would it be to have an water filter as terrific as the Berkey Light?!

  489. Wendy C
    October 11, 2012 | 10:33 pm

    As I have been cleaning / detoxing my body, I need to be sure my water is just as clean. Thankfully, my husband is starting to get it :)

  490. Stephanie

  493. Heather K.
    October 11, 2012 | 10:43 pm

    I’ve been wanting a Berkey for a while… The ability to remove food color from water and the ability to filter stagnant ponds intrigues me! Thanks for having the giveaway!

    I love that its stainless steel and pretty. I’ve had a metal test and tested extremely high for mercury and lead. I’ve been looking for a water filter that will keep myself and my family safe. This would be a blessing to win.

  500. Angie
    October 11, 2012 | 11:29 pm

    Right now we buy our drinking water, and we have a whole house filter. Owning a Berky would save us money, and provide healthier, better tasting water!

  501. Melissa

    awesome giveaway! Love Berkey filters

  502. Carie
    October 11, 2012 | 11:36 pm

    I’ve researched these for a long time. Seems Berkey is the best! Just been waiting for the time I could afford one….winning one would be So Sweet!

  503. Rebecca Burney
    October 12, 2012 | 12:08 am

    Really liked everything I saw on Berkey site. In the market for a water system. Wanted to see if I could win one before buying one, but for some reason your entry will not let me complete requirements… Been there, done that, but no response. Oh well will still consider a berkey. A little concerned about not being sold in calf.

  504. Rhenda
    October 12, 2012 | 12:22 am

    I had a water filter system for my house. Well, we moved, and my new place doesn’t have one and I’m not able to install a system here. I can deal with the water as far as dishes and cleaning and the like, but I really don’t like the taste.

    Truthfully, I guess I was spoiled, because now that I don’t have a filter I don’t even feel good about drinking the water here knowing it’s got all the nice things in it that municipal water treatment facilities like to put in it. I would use a Berkey filter. I would use it to pieces!

    Thx for the giveaway!

  505. Angela
    October 12, 2012 | 12:25 am

    I’ve been wanting one of these for months with no money to actually purchase one!

    I have wanted one of these filters since I learned about them about a year ago but haven’t been able to put the $ together to get one. I would love to know my family is always drinking healthy water.

  509. Tessa
    October 12, 2012 | 1:10 am

    I would like to win this giveaway because I’ve been kind of pining after a Big Berkey water purifier for a while but I haven’t been able to save up enough to get one myself, so if I could win that would be a great way to cross off one of the top items on my prepper’s list.

  510. Kelsie
    October 12, 2012 | 2:34 am

    It was determined last year that our city water contains not only the usual pollutants but is also contaminated with birth control hormones, horse tranquilizers, and COCAINE. As soon as I read that report, I started buying highly filtered, oxygenated water from the health food store for 50 cents a gallon. I love it…but…being free from hauling all those jugs back and forth once a week would be awesome.

  511. Krissy
    October 12, 2012 | 2:38 am

    In an effort to be healthier, I am working on drinking lots more water. That water should be as pure as possible. I’d love to have this filter. It would be such peace of mind to know that I’m drinking such clean water.

  526. Wanda

  527. Amanda
    October 12, 2012 | 7:21 am

    I have been BEGGING my husband for one of these. Currently we are using a PUR filter and I cringe thinking about all the things my family is drinking and I have known this is the ONLY system that takes out all the bad and leaves all the good.

  528. Jeanie
    October 12, 2012 | 7:22 am

    These seem to be great and I would love to have one at home.

    It’s important to safeguard oneself from the water borne diseases. Installing a water purifier is a must when it comes to ensuring the quality of water.

  530. Sarah Smith

  531. Wendy

    October 12, 2012 | 8:16 am

    I use a much cheaper water purification system now and I know you get what you pay for! This has been on my wish list forever because I know it’s the best.

  534. Janet
    October 12, 2012 | 8:20 am

    living in a city which adds fluoride and lord only knows what else to our tap water, i just know that my little brita isn’t sufficient. the berkey would help ensure that we’re getting the cleanest water.

  539. Loretta E
    October 12, 2012 | 8:30 am

    I want one because our tap water has some nasty stuff in it, so we don’t drink it.

  543. Natalie
    October 12, 2012 | 9:13 am

    I would love one because we just moved and are on city water. It makes me nervous when I can *smell* the water. Our previous home was on well water, and while it tasted kind of mineral-y, it never smelled like chlorine…!

  544. Judith
    October 12, 2012 | 9:14 am

    Currently using a Brita filter….ugh. I have coveted this water purifier for ages. This is an awesome giveaway.

    I posted on my blog
    http://be-gluten-free.com/general/giveaway-big-berkey-water-purifier/

    I would love to win this because I know it is a great purifier. I have 2 brothers-in law who have them. We live in the country and have a well, so we don’t need to worry about water treatment chemicals. However, we are surrounded by farmers who grow GMO crops :( I would love to have the security that if there is any of the farm chemicals leeching into our water supply, that it is removed before we consume it.

  548. vernrb

  551. Naomi Snider
    October 12, 2012 | 9:48 am

    I use a shower filter to remove chlorine from my shower water and we also drink that water, but I’d love to have drinking water that I can be assured is safe for us. From what I have read about Berkey, it is the best way to attain that goal.

  552. beth
    October 12, 2012 | 9:50 am

    We are working hard to be self sufficent. We have gotten a year supply of food up to date, but having clean water is essential also. We are looking to get some of these other things in place like a source of clean water and heat for emergency situations. I would love to win this! It would go a long way in helping our family.

  556. ~JackieVB
    October 12, 2012 | 10:32 am

    In a word – stylish. In a few more words, it’s not plastic and it’s a large capacity purifier which is great. Thanks for offering this :)

    I would REALLY like to win this so that we would be sure of having safe, clean water NO MATTER WHAT!

  570. Jacqueline Murphy
    October 12, 2012 | 12:00 pm

    Ohmigosh! In So. Calif. we have no safe water to draw from in an emergency. Not enough rain to collect. Would love a BB to use daily for purer water and also to use for our man-made-lake water if necessary.

  571. LizVE
    October 12, 2012 | 12:00 pm

    We use a Brita, which makes the tap water taste better, but I’m doubtful about how many contaminants it really removes. I’m mostly concerned about pesticides and fertilizer residue, since we’re surrounded by big ag sugar beet farms.
    It’s also great that the Berkey doesn’t remove minerals.
    Thanks for doing the giveaway!

  572. Mike
    October 12, 2012 | 12:00 pm

    As far as I know, the Big Berkey is the most efficient and best water filter. Made of stainless steel, your filtered water remains pure and is not tainted by leached plastics. On a cost-per-gallon basis, I don’t think anyone can beat Berkey’s low cost either.

  573. Ana Navarro
    October 12, 2012 | 12:01 pm

    This is my first time hearing about Big Berkey. You got me intrigued.

  574. Stephanie
    October 12, 2012 | 12:02 pm

    I’m excited for this chance to win this beautiful purifier. Even though I have well water, I’m still very concerned about the leaching of chemicals into our ground water, and this would help alleviate concerns I have for my family.

  575. Lee Garnett
    October 12, 2012 | 12:03 pm

    Clean water that tastes good and actually is a pleasure to drink is hard to come by in the Bakersfield CA. Buying bottled water is out of the question for us since it is very environmentally destructive. Britta works well but doesn’t purify as well as Big Berkey Water Purifier.

  579. Tiffany Cote
    October 12, 2012 | 12:06 pm

    I have wanted a Berkey for about 5 years now. I just don’t have the funds for one. What an amazing give-away!

  580. Nancykp
    October 12, 2012 | 12:07 pm

    What a great filtration system. It seems like it’s the next best thing to a whole house system (which is waaaaaay out of my budget range).

  581. Jennifer hill

    I’d love to win a Berkey water filter because I think it would benefit my family! Not to mention I am moving to camp Legeune soon.. and there was a terrible water contamination over 20 years ago.. that lasted from 1957-1987! It has been fixed, but I would have more peace of mind if I had one of these water filters!

    Love the berkey. Every household should have at least one!

    Would love to own a Berkey Filtration System. We have well water but have concerns off chemicals leeching in from the fields.

    October 12, 2012 | 12:16 pm

    I’d love a Big Berkey water purifier to make sure that the water my family drinks is 100% healthy and pure without nasty chemicals and contaminants. It would also be nice to know that in an emergency, we could put any available water in it and turn it into pure, drinkable water.

  592. Talena A

    I would like a Big Berkey water Puifier so I can have clean water for my family…Thank you!!

    I live in Florida and have to buy drinking water from North Carolina. It would be great not to have that expense.

  594. Terri V.
    October 12, 2012 | 12:20 pm

    definitely could use one around here!!

  595. Melissa
    October 12, 2012 | 12:21 pm

    I would like to win the Big Berkey because after i went on the EPA website to check my local water I learned that my purifier that I have been using isn’t filtering out all the toxins. My son has an autoimmune disease and he is allergic to everything they tested him for. I have him unmedicated and eating real food that’s gmo free .We would love the water to be cleaner too :) )) Thanks for the consideration!

  596. Rachel Walters

    I want to give my child the cleanest water possible.

  600. Sarah
    October 12, 2012 | 12:23 pm

    We’ve been driving to a local spring/filling our jugs at WF in an effort to get healthier water. Would love to have a Big Berkey purifier instead!

  601. Suzanne P.
    October 12, 2012 | 12:26 pm

    Because our water in Texas tastes like dirt right now!

  602. Jennifer

    I have been wanting this for a long time . I could not afford to buy one.

  606. Holly
    October 12, 2012 | 12:31 pm

    I’ve wanted one of these for so long! :) I need to clean up our drinking water.

  607. Katy
    October 12, 2012 | 12:31 pm

    I am unfortunately picky with the water I drink, and although I know it’s not the best thing to do, when the water available tastes too bad, I drink hardly any, or even nothing at all. Congrats to whoever wins this one!

  608. Liz
    October 12, 2012 | 12:34 pm

    My husband drinks A LOT of water and it’s kind of expensive to keep that much bottled spring water around. This would be a big help!

  609. Nichole
    October 12, 2012 | 12:39 pm

    I would love to win for the health of my children.

  610. Carla Aoyagi
    October 12, 2012 | 12:40 pm

    Hoping I can win this, as it near impossible to get this in California- I can own it, and would gladly have purchased it (multiple times I have tried actually) but unless it’s a third party, like a friend, I can’t get it shipped here, as the distributors aren’t allowed to ship to California!! Something about the company not getting the device tested for lead (read: California wants the company to pay a buch of money to get it ‘lead-free’ approved) — crazy. I should be able to have it sent third party, though, no problem. Let’s hope.

  611. Teresa W
    October 12, 2012 | 12:44 pm

    This would be wonderful! Thank you!

  612. Sidra

    Love the Big Berkeys!

  614. Kymber
    October 12, 2012 | 12:49 pm

    I NEED this. Our water is nasty and full of gunk and to have to buy bottled water gets too expensive and the plastic bottles aren’t good for me or the environment.

  615. Roxie
    October 12, 2012 | 12:51 pm

    I would like to win one of these because money is so tight, I can’t afford to buy the Pur filter for the kitchen sink. Being able to give my family filtered water from the Berkely system would give me some peace of mind.

  616. Thea
    October 12, 2012 | 12:52 pm

    Had not heard of these water filters, so thank you for sharing!

  617. seth hess
    October 12, 2012 | 12:53 pm

    I want this famous water filter because I am building my supplies on my own with 3 children and a wife. We just can not afford something like this and I have had to resort to hand making our own due to funds.

  618. Nichole
    October 12, 2012 | 12:55 pm

    This will be great for my family!!

  619. Lauren
    October 12, 2012 | 12:58 pm

    I would love to get my hands on a Big Berkley Water Purifier right now! I just relocated and am living with someone. The water in the area is a bit frightening based on the taste. I certainly can’t go about installing a reverse osmosis filter in a home that is not mine! I would really love to have the opportunity to share this gem with everyone in the home so they can see what a difference purified water can make.

  620. Philena Pugh
    October 12, 2012 | 1:00 pm

    I have enough toxins in my body that I am working to get rid of without more being added through the water I drink. I would love this. Thanks for the chance.

  621. Becky
    October 12, 2012 | 1:03 pm

    I’d love to have it because of the higher purification rate. We don’t drink anything straight from the tap. Our water is awful unless it’s filtered first.

  622. Ashley
    October 12, 2012 | 1:07 pm

    I think it is so important to have fresh, lean water. It makes up such a large percentage of our bodies and the Earth!

  623. Rick Dove
    October 12, 2012 | 1:12 pm

    I have been traveling 60 miles round trip to get pure water from a spring,to avoid using county water supply,wishing I could afford a R O filter for a few years now !

  624. Asma
    October 12, 2012 | 1:27 pm

    There have been shortages of bottled water where I live in Egypt, so it would be great to have my own way to purify available tap water!

  625. Maria
    October 12, 2012 | 1:33 pm

    This is one of the ultimate water purifiers. I would love to have one. : )

  626. Jackie Vetter
    October 12, 2012 | 1:34 pm

    I spend tons of money on distilled water, so I’ve been wanting a Big Berkey forever!

  627. Jerelle
    October 12, 2012 | 1:34 pm

    This would be great for getting the chemicals and contaminants out of my family’s water!

  628. Stephanie

    October 12, 2012 | 1:42 pm

    I would love the Berkey water filter! I recently have becomed concerned because when I drink water from our Brita filter I’ve been getting a mucous response. Not sure why, but I’ve been wanting a Berkey for awhile and how wonderful if we won one in a give away! I really enjoy your recipes on your blog, thank you!

  630. Linsey
    October 12, 2012 | 1:42 pm

    So cool that this is being given away!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  631. Emily
    October 12, 2012 | 1:47 pm

    Yes! We need one! Since moving to Nashville, I’ve noticed that I smell like chlorine, and it emanates from the water. Yuck!

  632. Kelly
    October 12, 2012 | 1:51 pm

    I live in an area with shale gas drilling and I’d like to have a good way to purify well water if it becomes contaminated with toxix drilling chemicals.

  633. Olinda Paul
    October 12, 2012 | 1:52 pm

    Wow! What a wonderful gift to ME. When your body tells you that you need to make a change…you had better listen. There is nothing like pure fresh water. Good luck to everyone!

  634. Tricia
    October 12, 2012 | 2:00 pm

  638. Christine Hubel

  639. Heather Burris

  641. Liz

    I’ve already seen negative effects of unpurified water and I’d love to change that for the better.

  642. Marilyn
    October 12, 2012 | 2:30 pm

    I would love to win a Big Berkey because good, fresh water sounds so inviting and wonderful! I would like to give my family water that gives glory to God and help our bodies heal.

    Best water filter by far!

  649. Kelsey
    October 12, 2012 | 3:06 pm

    I use a lot of water for drinking and cooking etc… I hate having to refill my plastic filter all the time. This would be so nice to have!

  650. Kim
    October 12, 2012 | 3:08 pm

    I need to win one of these because San Diego, CA Poisons our water.

  651. Sara

  652. Lisa Capehart
    October 12, 2012 | 3:19 pm

    We’ve been wanting a water purifier for our home and have been doing some investigating. Thanks for introducing me to the Berkey Water Purifiers. I LOVE the idea of needing no electricity to purify and I like the look of the stainless steel housing. Cool!

  653. Becky
    October 12, 2012 | 3:26 pm

    I’d like a berkey filter b/c our water quality in the city is awful! I’d like to always provide good clean water for our family.

  654. Max
    October 12, 2012 | 3:31 pm

    My family has struggled with second rate filter systems as we have embraced the traditional foods life of fermented foods, bone broths and more! Having the Big Berkey would be a godsend!

  655. angela mitchell
    October 12, 2012 | 3:46 pm

    Wow! I’ve been looking for a really great water filter, and this one looks amazing!

  656. Dorothy Tatum

  658. Abbi Graves

    We go to the store very week and fill our 5-gallon bottles. I would love to have this at home!

  659. Kayla Wenzel
    October 12, 2012 | 4:26 pm

    We simply cannot seem to find the money to purchase one of these but boy would it be used and appreciated! North Texas water scares mr

  660. Zeffie
    October 12, 2012 | 4:27 pm

    I would love a good quality water filter to minimize my family’s exposure to chemicals, toxins, chlorine, flouride, hormones and on and on!

  661. Robyn
    October 12, 2012 | 5:19 pm

    Thanks for making us aware of some of the great products out there!

  662. Marguerite
    October 12, 2012 | 5:40 pm

    I’ve wanted one of these for years, but have spending my little monies on other disaster preparedness items. I live in SF and have about 2 weeks of water on hand, but no Berkey products to ensure that I’ll have potable water beyond that. My current water system just won’t work without power, but the Berkey systems work without power and filter out much more than my countertop system does.

  663. Levin Kinsey
    October 12, 2012 | 5:43 pm

    I have well water I must filter and this would be a MUCH better system than I use now!

  664. Cindy Patterson
    October 12, 2012 | 6:01 pm

  665. Susan Ashley

    I’d love one ! -I’ve recently learned about the dangers of fluoride….and I’d rather not drink our tap water anymore !
    thank you for this chance to win !

  666. Adam
    October 12, 2012 | 6:23 pm

    I want to win a Berkey water purifier because our city water is tainted with Fluoride and other crap I won’t want me and my family to consume.

  667. Rebecca
    October 12, 2012 | 7:27 pm

    I want to drink purer water that is safe for me!

  668. Brooke
    October 12, 2012 | 7:36 pm

    Fluoride is so toxic and I’m thrilled to hear this filter takes care of it all!

  669. Shelley Alexander
    October 12, 2012 | 7:41 pm

    The Berkey filter looks amazing and I would love to win it! Thanks for hosting this wonderful giveaway!

  670. Michelle
    October 12, 2012 | 7:57 pm

    I would love to have easy access to cleaner water than our town supply – our current filter doesn’t quite do the job!

  671. Denice L.
    October 12, 2012 | 8:12 pm

    Would love one of these.:)

  672. Faye
    October 12, 2012 | 8:17 pm

    There’s nothing like a great water filtration system to keep the flow of quality water — the elixer of life — running through your body! Berkey does it up right! Thanks for the opportunity to play!

  673. Andrea
    October 12, 2012 | 8:21 pm

    I want one because it taked out flouride as well as purifying the water

  674. Lynette Dumas
    October 12, 2012 | 8:41 pm

    I want clean & pure water just like our ancestors had. No more toxic chemicals or even pollution. Sticking together and demanding quality water the way mother nature wants it, not the government, is the only way this could get accomplished.

    October 12, 2012 | 9:58 pm

    We live on a farm, which we “farm” using traditional methods that nourish the land, animals, and our bodies. However, we are surrounded by acres of conventionally farmed land, which means GMO and lots of spray. We would love a Berkey filter to get the chemicals out of our drinking water!

  680. Linda P
    October 12, 2012 | 10:30 pm

    Wow! I really like the products you have. I am moving into my own home (mobile home) for the first time in my life, after 40 years of missionary life. I have been praying what kind of a water filter would be best, so I don’t have to carry heavy water bottles, which is what I have been doing. I especially like your survival preparedness in your products, which is very important to me. I look forward to ordering some of your products. Thanks for making them available!

  681. Crystal
    October 12, 2012 | 10:55 pm

    I want this because we have the Berkey Light and we want the big one too!

  682. Kim
    October 12, 2012 | 11:31 pm

    Would love to have a Berkey because we have only had Britta filters so far. A larger system has been on our “wish” list for a long time..

  683. Teresa
    October 13, 2012 | 12:02 am

    I could never afford this without a giveaway!

    WOW…so many giveaway entries for this one! It’s a good one……!!!
    I have NEVER won a giveaway, so winning this one would be my bday gift, christmas gift…best kind of gift ever! Our Chicago water is filthy so my family would benefit greatly from a Berkey. Thank you for this giveaway opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  685. Natalie Drozdenko
    October 13, 2012 | 1:44 am

    This past summer our area had a “boil advisory” for 24 hours because of contaminated water. I would love to have a Big Berkey in case it happens again.

  686. Kristen
    October 13, 2012 | 6:19 am

    We just got our city’s water report in the mail… Yikes! We NEED a Berkey!

  687. Rhonda
    October 13, 2012 | 7:11 am

    I’d love to win a Berkey to give to our daughter who needs clean water due to health problems.

  688. Tina A

    October 13, 2012 | 8:11 am

    We have found over time that the purer we can make our beautiful daughters body, the less her autistic tendencies stand out. Vie been looking into water purifiers, and would love to win this one for our family!

  690. Amanda Mullins
    October 13, 2012 | 9:40 am

    We get bottled water delivered and would love to be able to cancel that!

  691. Kay Pelham
    October 13, 2012 | 9:48 am

    Our family would love this product to get the garbage out of our drinking water.

  692. Rich
    October 13, 2012 | 10:05 am

    Just another example of how government creates a disaster with everything they touch. Yet people still trust them and want more of them in their lives.

    Great giveaway! Thank you!

  693. Maranda
    October 13, 2012 | 10:06 am

    We have well water right now and are getting ready to move into town for a while. Our city water is high in chlorine etc( more than a swimming pool requires). We have planned on buying spring water during this time but that’s pricey, so this product would be great for us!

  694. Hannah S
    October 13, 2012 | 11:12 am

    I have been wanting a Berkey for so long now! We travel to a few different places that are rural and don’t have good drinking water, so this would be perfect to take along instead of having to tote in a ton of bottled or jugs of water.

  695. darry
    October 13, 2012 | 11:13 am

    no more flouride

  696. Colette
    October 13, 2012 | 11:16 am

    Hands down, drinking QUALITY water is THE most important component to attaining better health, which I am in need of!

  697. Meghan
    October 13, 2012 | 11:16 am

    This is a great way to make sure my family is getting the best water possible!

  698. Lori G.
    October 13, 2012 | 11:16 am

    There are many reasons, but to list a few… first the flouride and chlorine in our city water, save $ from buying water, can take it camping, great for emergency situations, also I have health issues and truly clean water is sooo important.

  699. Leslie Brasher
    October 13, 2012 | 11:17 am

    I would love to win this water filter because I’ve been concerned for a good while about the condition of our water. We have an extremely tight budget, so winning one would be an answered prayer! :)

  700. Tina Durie
    October 13, 2012 | 11:17 am

    I am intrigued by what I have read about the Berkey. We are currently looking into systems to treat unsafe well water, so this system is in the running!

  701. Kristina C
    October 13, 2012 | 11:18 am

    I’d love one of these! We currently have an Aquasana purifier and the costly filters are starting to be a real issue. Plus this thing just looks super cool, does it not!?

  702. Kara
    October 13, 2012 | 11:18 am

    I love this! I had heard of them before, but this is the first time I’ve actually read up on the Big Berkey. I love that it doesn’t use any power and I actually like that it’s so big… more tasty, healthy, clean water for my family!

  703. Wendi
    October 13, 2012 | 11:19 am

    I agree with Rhonda above, I don’t want my family to drink fluoride anymore. Thank you for this opportunity!

  704. Kelle
    October 13, 2012 | 11:19 am

    We live in the middle of cane country in southeast Louisiana and are on a well system. I’m sure our water is loaded with chemicals. I’ve read great things about the Berkey system and would feel much safer if we had such a system to filter the junk from our water. Thanks for the opportunity!

  705. Ashley

    We live in the middle of cane country in southeast Louisiana. I’m sure our well water is full of chemicals. I’ve read great things about the Berkey system and would love such a system to clean the junk out of our water.

    October 13, 2012 | 11:23 am

    Oh to have clean water for all, such a basic necessity, and yet remains a luxury…..i would love to try this system out and then convince everyone I know to get one too.

    I would love to have a Berkey to filter our water. We have had a lot of sickness, and am wondering if it’s the water!!!!!

    I have researched alternatives to tap water and the best way to purify water in the event of a weather – or other – crisis that affects our water supply. I am amazed that Berkey successfully adressed ALL of my criteria. Go Big Berkey!

    Really sad we don’t get to choose what goes into our drinking water. I live in Salt Lake City and would love to have Flouride Free water for my Family of 9. It is not fun felling up 15gallons of water every week of reverse osmosis water and then buying liquid mineral to put back into my water. Just so I can have peace of mind of what goes into my families body.

    October 13, 2012 | 11:33 am

    We are 100% on cistern and the water we bring home is known to have multiple contaminants. We currently buy bottled water, but know that isn’t any better. Would love to have this to eliminate the contaminants we are ingesting! Thank you!

    October 13, 2012 | 11:33 am

    We’ve been looking at getting a water delivery service to get better water, but I wasn’t convinced that was the best water we could get. After checking this system out, I know this is what we need to get! If I don’t win it I’m buying one.

  725. Julie
    October 13, 2012 | 11:33 am

    We’d love a Berkey because we are a family of 9, and it appears we may be living on the road in the very near future. Safe drinking water will be quite a concern for this mama. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

    I have a friend with Health Issues and every time she drinks water from my Berkey she says she wishes she had the money to buy one as well. I would love to get one for her.
    I really believe in the Berkey. I have never been a water drinker, but I can’t get enough since getting mine.
    I know it would help my friend a lot :)

    We live in a country in North Africa. Our house is close to an open sewer, and no one really knows what’s in the tap water. Our street sewers overflow regularly in a heavy rain. I was going to order a Big Berkey before we returned this year. One of our teammates brought one over last year and it is the perfect solution. Thank you so much for making this offer.

    October 13, 2012 | 12:39 pm

    I would love one of these. It would be awesome to have ONE filter for drinking water than using the dual system that I have (refrigerator filter and Brita pitcher filter) and constantly having to fork out to change the filters and they don’t even filter out half of the crap that’s in the water. How’s that for a runon sentence? lol Thanks for the opportunity!

  789. Morgana
    October 13, 2012 | 12:43 pm

    This would be excellent for us and the Sanctuary animals that we live with – we have hard water here, and although we have a huge system for softening, well, safer is better, and Berkey, from all my research, is the BEST! Thanks for a chance to win.

  790. Ingrid
    October 13, 2012 | 12:44 pm

    Berkey water purifiers deliver fresh pure water that is a delight to drink and cook with. Our water in my hometown is some of the best in the world. Berkey removes the chlorine and fluoride so that my tap water is as pure as it was before being processed from the aquifer.

  816. Joanne

    I’ve been eyeing the Berkeley water filters for quite a while, and would love to win one!

    I want a Berkey because now that I’m pregnant I can TASTE how awful our tap water is!

  823. Allen
    October 13, 2012 | 1:38 pm

    I am very paranoid about the water we drink, but can’t afford more than a Brita at the moment. This would be fantastic for us and our two little girls.

  824. Dolores
    October 13, 2012 | 1:41 pm

    We have had a whole house water treatment system for 2 years and our water still tastes horrible. We would love a Berky for our drinking and cooking water. I appreciate that the water retains its minerals for good health, but gets rid of all the harmful elements.

  825. Brittany
    October 13, 2012 | 1:41 pm

    The Big Berkey looks like an awesome truly purifying filter. Living in farm country with tons of pesticide runoff, I would love a Berkey to protect my family (especially my babies) from all that pollution!

  826. Sheryl
    October 13, 2012 | 1:42 pm

    Looks like the perfect water filter system that I have been looking for! I would love to win!

  827. Cyndie Kalina

    Big Berkey has been on my wish list for quite awhile. I would like to win one and buy one for my sweetheart.

    October 13, 2012 | 1:53 pm

    We’d love to have a better way to filter our city tap water. Charlotte is very proud of their fluoridated water. I don’t even want to think about what else is getting through our filters!

  829. Sarah A.
    October 13, 2012 | 1:55 pm

    I love that it is a filter that is gravity fed and not reliant on electricity. Not to mention that I have NEVER had better tasting water than from a Berkey! :)

  830. Maureen
    October 13, 2012 | 1:56 pm

    Our water tastes strongly of chlorine unless I take measures to remove it. This looks like a great system to use.

  831. Ann
    October 13, 2012 | 1:57 pm

    wow. its beautiful and functional too.

  832. SJ
    October 13, 2012 | 2:03 pm

    Wow, these filters are really cool! I like how they require no electricity, and are portable. I like how they use gravity to filter. So you can take it from house to house when you move, or you could (technically) even take it with when if you move to another country. And the price isn’t bad, considering that if you buy an r/o filter, it costs about $150. Plus you have to pay to have it installed, unless you want to do it yourself. However, if you move, you have to buy another one, b/c its really too hard to uninstall and re-install it in in your new sink. Anyways, these look great! if i don’t win one, I’ll have to start saving to buy one for our next home, when our lease is up!

  833. Rich
    October 13, 2012 | 2:04 pm

    I like the fact it takes chlorine and flouride out and leaves the trace minerals…..unlike a reverse osmosis system.

    I have wanted a Big Berkey ever since my friend to,d me about them. I especially want one now that I have an 8 week old daughter, whom I exclusively breastfeed…I want the cleanest water possible to keep my daughter healthy.

  840. Audrey

    You just never know what is in the water today. I live in a rural area – lots of manure, pesticides, etc on fields.

  841. Cheryl

    Want real water! These purifiers look like just the ticket. Been wanting one.

  843. Becky
    October 13, 2012 | 2:22 pm

    Because tap water is no longer safe since our water systems and environment have become so polluted. Filtered water is THE only way to go.

    I would so love to get this, we live in a place where the water is so bad and I hate having to drink it and all the junk that they put in it. We have wanted a Berkey for ever but haven’t been able to afford it!

  846. Christina Pender
    October 13, 2012 | 2:32 pm

    Wow – Do I need one of these!

  847. Jeanne
    October 13, 2012 | 2:34 pm

    I muscle test and find chemicals in almost everyone and I know it is the water we drink. I’m never sure how clean the bottled or filtered water I use is. It would be great to finally be sure!

  848. Erin Y
    October 13, 2012 | 2:39 pm

    This looks so superior to the Brita pitcher and holds so much more at a time. I can see the stains from our water all over the faucet but refuse to go back to buying plastic bottles of water!

  849. kristin konvolinka
    October 13, 2012 | 2:42 pm

    Every Saturday my hubby lugs two 6 gallon carboys to the water machine outside the grocery store. It’s not a big deal to me (I’m not the one hoisting the big jugs around town) but we use these bottles to make wine, I want to make more wine! So I’d like to win a water purifier because I want to drink wine.

  850. KIM

    My dad is going through cancer treatment right now and we have had him on a special diet to eliminate toxins, etc., this includes purified water for drinking and cooking. We have a Britta filter but I would be much more happy with a Berkey since I believe the water would be much more pure.

  853. Andee
    October 13, 2012 | 2:52 pm

    Love everything I’ve heard & read about the Berkey water purifiers! Winning one would be absolutely awesome!!!

    I believe that not only is clean water a necessity, it’s also a right! We all deserve to have clean drinking water and to share it with our friends and family. I would love to treat my loved ones with water filtered by the Berkey filter.

  864. Jan Atkinson
    October 13, 2012 | 3:28 pm

    I drink a lot of water I mean a lot. No soda, juice or such for me and a purifier would be wonderful, useful, and needed. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for the opportunity!!!

    We are moving to a part of Alaska where water has to be hauled from a community well and then stored in water storage tanks in your home. I have been concerned about the purity of the water and have been looking into purchasing a quality purifier. Winning the Big Berky would be great and give me peace of mind about my family’s water supply!

  867. amber
    October 13, 2012 | 3:36 pm

    I refuse to drink the water out of my tap. This would make my life so much easier!

  869. Tami

  870. Robin
    October 13, 2012 | 3:46 pm

    I would love to have this the tap water here sometimes comes out smelling so strongly of chlorine its awful would be great to be able to drink pure water with no nasties in it and the Berkey would be a godsend.

    I have been looking for something like this for years. Didn’t know this item was available. Read about and got excited because this really makes perfect sense. I just wish I invented it. No plumbing, or electricity needed. I bought one and couldn’t be happier. Now my grown boys would like one for Christmas. They are worth every penny, I would rather not buy two more at this time.

    Thank you for a a great quality product. A hard thing to find these days.

    October 13, 2012 | 3:55 pm

    Our city water is so bad it leaves red marks on me, and I cannot wash my hands without it burning. Imagine if I dared drink it? Maybe if I had one I wouldn’t be on proton pump inhibitor medication the rest of my life?

  876. Jennifer S Jansky

    From hiking, to camping, to exotic travel, to emergency preparedness – there are so many reasons and uses! I would LOVE the peace of mind that owning a Berkey would bring – it is on my wish list!

  883. Caroline
    October 13, 2012 | 4:12 pm

    I want a Berkey water filter because I don’t want all that crazy junk in my water. Water is so important to our health, and when we put so much of it into our bodies, it should be the purest water we can drink.
    Plus, it tastes so much better!

  884. Megan
    October 13, 2012 | 4:14 pm

    I have never heard of these systems, but it sounds like something my family could use! We live on a farm with water fed by a spring. While this sounds good in theory, we had our water tested and there are sorts of bacteria in it. We were advised against drinking it, but can’t really afford another option. :(

  885. Cathy Stevens

    Thank you for giving some lucky person this wonderful chance to win a Big Berkey Water Purifier. I am working diligently at trying to heal my gut and body and reverse my food allergies/intolerance. As money has been so very tight these past few years, investing in a water system is not something we have done… yet. I would absolutely LOVE to win!!! Our city has just decided they will put flouride in our water; we are fighting to get it put to a vote.. Thank you for this great opportunity!

  887. Melissa
    October 13, 2012 | 4:23 pm

    The Brita doesn’t remove fluoride (though it removes chlorine) so a Berkey would really help us on our way to better thyroid, adrenal and breast health. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!

  888. Elizabeth
    October 13, 2012 | 4:27 pm

    We’ve been using a water-filter pitcher for several years now, but our family is growing and I find that I have to fill that pitcher so many times a day it is ridiculous! Our friends have a Big Berkey so I am familiar with them, and I know one would get a lot of use here at our house. :)

  889. betts
    October 13, 2012 | 4:49 pm

    I so need this! I have had to delay getting a filter because I am a single-out-of-work mom. I am working part time and trying to find a full time job and have been unable to make ends meet!

    I had a small RO filter before I moved and it doesn’t work in my place now! We have been buying water every week because I do not want to put toxins and fluoride into us through our water!

    This would be a true blessing!

  890. Cathy
    October 13, 2012 | 4:51 pm

    I’ve been using the Berkey sport water bottles with the filter in them, but would love to upgrade to a large filter in our house. Thanks for your blog!

    I haven’t heard of this water purifier before, but it would be fabulous to have. I know our water has added fluoride and I don’t appreciate having to buy and transport water when I’m trying to avoid driving cars. Not to mention, the city I commute to for school has even worse water. Having this Berkeley purifier this would be wonderful!

  903. Rachelle

    October 13, 2012 | 5:48 pm

    My daughter has food and chemical sensitivities. Regular tap water gives her a stomach ache. We even have a filter on her our shower as the chlorine in the water aggravates her sinuses and allergies. When we go camping we have to take loads of bottled water for her to drink and to cook with. The Berkley water filter would be so nice to camp with as I would prefer not to drink water from plastic containers. It would also give me peace of mind to have it at home for a back up filter and to filter the water in our water barrels in case of an emergency.

  905. SBH
    October 13, 2012 | 5:50 pm

    We have one Berkey, already. Our water is contaminated with chemicals in the Spring when our water table is so high. We’ve had to see a Dr to clease high levels of pesticides and other chemicals out of our family. We were very sick.
    For some time now we’ve been considering purchasing another Berkey. It will go into our utility room where we used to get water all the time from the sink. When we come in from the barn/outdoors it is a pain to undress to walk through the house for a drink. In the utility room we could step in, gulp down a glassful, and return to the outside.

  906. Teresa B
    October 13, 2012 | 5:54 pm

    We are on well water and it usually smells like rotten eggs. A Berkey would be so cool! No more smell, no more particles!

  907. Shari W
    October 13, 2012 | 5:57 pm

    To get rid of all the toxins in our water…and because the Berkey Water filters are not available for purchase in my state. :-(
