Royal and Imperial Berkey Water Filter Water View Spigot

• Fits the Royal and Imperial Berkey Water Filter Units
• View water levels without taking off the lid
• Replaces existing spigot
• Know when your Berkey water filter needs water

This is a mediocre product. Paying close to $45 with shipping, I expected a product worth close to $45 or at least $35. If I were doing it all over again, I wouldn''t pay more than $25 for this. It does function as a good water gauge which was the purpose I bought it. If you''re like me, you don''t want to have to remember to check the water all the time and this works well to quickly glance at it and know how much water is in it and when to refill it.

Pros:

Good water gauge

Good flow of water

Comes apart easily to clean

Glass tube

Fast shipping

Cons:

Silver plastic casing around the glass tube is plastic and not stainless steel

Plastic casing does not match my stainless steel Royal Berkey

No replacement parts if something, such as the glass tube, breaks (You would have to buy the whole thing over again!)

Spigot threads attaching to Berkey system are too short, the company sends a really thin, non-beveled washer to make up for this. It took a couple tries to get the two washers and plastic nut onto the few threads on the new spigot without any leaks. It has to be tight enough to seal, but too tight and the washer pushes away from the plastic nut and leaks. After tightening the plastic nut enough to seal but not too much to push away, the plastic nut was only partially on the threads but it works.

Overall, this is a mediocre product, over-priced at $45, fair purchase at $25 or less.

Works well. Instructions could be a bit clearer. But a very good accessory for knowing when to refill your Berkey instead of looking each time in to the bottom section. Should be standard and included in Berkeys. But sure glad it''s available.

Just got this installed on my Royal Berkey. It is so much better than lifting the top tank to look into the bottom resivoir. If you have a Berkey, you need one of these. Clear instructions explain which washer goes where during the installation. No leaks.

I originally had problems with it leaking. I thought that I screwed it on tight enough, but apparently not tight enough. Once I screwed it around 1 complete revolution, it stopped leaking. Now it works great.

I tried to leave a more thorough review but Amazon wouldn''t let me, I suppose I somehow violated their rules and that''s OK because I LOVE Amazon and I know they stand by their products, so I''ll just say that this was sent to me by an outside distributor selling on Amazon in a flimsy manilla envelope with only a piece of paper wrapped around it. It was missing both washers and the nut plus there were no instructions. I called the main dealer of the Berkey and they verified that the washers and the nut that fit the Water View Spigot are different than the nuts and washer that come with the spigot on the Berkey.

I paid for overnight shipping so I''d receive both the Berkey and this Water View Spigot together so I could assemble my new Berkey (which I love..I''ll review that later), and this spigot at the same time. Won''t happen now.

I called the distributor (which is not Amazon and I should have known better than to buy this from someone who just uses Amazon to sell) of this spigot and only got a digital voice asking me to leave a message. IF I get a call back from them and get good service I''ll report back, but this should never have happened and the packing was terrible.

Edited to add: Well they emailed me back and blamed Amazon, said it was Amazon''s fault and I know it wasn''t because Amazon simply sent out the SEALED in a plastic bag package (that was provided them by this company) and there were no holes where these could have escaped. They passed the buck. I lost the buck or more like $40 worth!
