This product is such an asset to our family. Our children now drink more water and we no longer have the taste of chemicals in our water. WaterfiltersNZ delivered our new Berkey promptly and Brendan was a pleasure to deal with.

After a recent health scare with the big C – I decided (after countless research articles) to invest more in my health and wellbeing and purchased a Berkey System – I must say I have never felt better, my medical results are on the improve and to be honest I don’t think I will ever drink tap water again. I have dealt with Brendan and Water Filters NZ several times now and each time it is a very effortless process and my products show up within days – I would highly recommend them as a business – Cheers Kevin

After Gabrielle cyclone and all the water problem I wanted even more to be able to drink good water. Brendan was really kind and answered my thousands questions (sorry about that again). The shipping was extremely fast and if there is any problem Brendan will help you solve it. Thank you again for your time and client service
Happy customers –
The Big Berkey filter system is awesome at cleaning up the water we drink.
No regrets buying it, we recommend to anyone who wants a portable; straight forward; gravity fed; bucket on bench system that’s easy to use, clean and maintain.
Sold in Otago and delivery was fast (4 to 5 days to rural southland).
Thanks heaps Brendan, we’re spreading the word!
