Nichole Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I was reading survivalblog, and a guy wrote in saying that Berkey is supposed to raise all of their prices 25-30% for all products by April 15. I still haven't bought one, but now I am thinking about it. The Big Berkey's are all backordered though. Thought I'd let everyone know. Quote Link to post
chefddr Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 RATS, one is def. on my list, but just don't have those kinds of funds right now, but DEFINITELY BEFORE WE MOVE SOUTH! thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to post
Nichole Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I went ahead and just forked over the cash for it. On Berkey's site, it's $250 for a big berkey and 2 sports bottles. I found another site that had them for $250 + 3 bottles, and I also found a site that didn't give out the freebies, but it was $199 instead of $250. Quote Link to post
bluegrassmom Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Gah...this might up my timeframe on purchasing this. I've heard of so many people buying the filters and then making their own out of 5 gallon foodgrade buckets. I didn't really want to go the plastic route, but I may have to now. Quote Link to post
Nichole Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Update: Berkey is now only going to raise prices 10%, and no more freebies. They don't want to hurt the economy any more than it already is. But they are not ruling out raising prices again if they have to. Not as bad as 20-30%! Quote Link to post

They are a bit cheaper with free freight. I ordered my Big Berky & Sun Oven from him also because he is in Louisiana and I wanted to support a local business. http://www.survivalunlimited.com/waterfilter.htm http://www.survivalunlimited.com/waterfilter.htm Quote Link to post

Carly Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Make sure you order the black filters with your Berkey. They filter out a whole lot more bad stuff than the white filters. I got 4 black filters with mine but I only use 2 at a time. That way, I have a 2nd set for later. Carly Quote Link to post
