British Berkefeld is the original brand of gravity filter systems, with a rich history dating back to 1826 when Royal Doulton craftsmen created their first ceramic gravity filters to purify drinking water.

British Berkefeld gravity systems come in 1L, 6L, 8.5L and 12L sizes, with Ultra Sterasyl or Ultra Fluoride replacement filters.
British Berkefeld gravity systems and British Berkefeld ceramic replacement filters for gravity systems are certified to NSF standards.
The 6L, 8.5L and 12L stainless steel systems come with a removable label and a plastic spigot. [An optional NSF-certified steel spigot is available.]
