Fantastic add on to the Berkey Water Filtration System - Great Spigot
Bought it used through Amazon Warehouse and all is fine. Still need to set it up though but have had a Berkey in the house before so nothing new.1 Year Update:This spigot is highly handy to know your water level in the main tank. It has lasted wonderfully with no leakage or problems and it gets used multiple times per day. Meaning it has been used well over 1000 times and it still acts brand new. We are very happy that we chose to add this to our Berkey System. You should add one to yours too. You won't regret it!As product testers, we did not receive a discounted price of this product to give our honest and unbiased review of said product.

Just received today for my Big Berkey. It's great little spigot and wish I had ordered it from the beginning. Actually I agree with others that it should be standard equipment. The flow rate is great.For those having trouble with leaks. I found the thin washers provided a little lacking, so I used the washers from my original spigot. I rub a little olive oil on the outside washer. Do not tighten it so tight that the washer becomes out of shape. I find that tight enough is me holding the inside nut with my fingers and tighten that way.When checking for leaks after install fill your bottom holding tank all the way up so there is water pressure applied to the washers. I discovered this when I only put enough water in to cover the spigot on the inside. I thought everything was fine and had no leaks until I filled the entire holding container with a full 2 gallons of water, that's when the leak appeared. Just tightened a little more and was good to go.I wish someone would produce one made entirely of stainless steel with no plastic. I would most definitely be the first to purchase one.

Simple fix to a common Berkey problem
This glass spigot is a must have upgrade for the Berkey. It’s super helpful being able to see now how much water is in the bottom chamber. Before this, I was always guessing. And more than once before owning this glass spigot, I overfilled the top chamber and ended up with leaks. This solves that issue completely.Installation is quick and easy. The design is simple and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.My only minor complaint is the little adhesive tab at the top of the sight glass. It doesn’t stick very well to the stainless steel, so I find myself pushing it back into place occasionally. That said though, the spigot still stays firmly in place and works just fine even without that adhesive piece holding tight at the top.This is a great help for regular Berkey users or those with kids. You can stop guessing how full or empty the thing is!

Measures water and helps increase psi
This was a great addition to our Berkey system, no more guessing how full it is, which is tough to see when it stands so high on our counter. Now we can see easily when to refill.PLUS it has helped the pressure and water flows much quicker and we appreciate that as well.

Mess saver and worth the peace-of-mind.
Bought this for our Big Berkey. This is a life saver and a mess preventer! Much easier to read the gauge to know the level of filtered water available rather than lifting the lid and peering into the top reservoir. We also marked the gauge at two points; the first point or lowest on the gauge reflects what level the water is at after filling the reservoir with one 1-gallon pitcher. Once that filtered through, then I added a second 1-gallon fill into the reservoir and marked the next point on the gauge to represent the higher point reflecting 2-gallons of filtered water ready to go. Takes a little time in the day to complete the markings but worth it in the long run to accurately know how much water to fill into the top reservoir and avoid overage in the bottom reservoir. Now anyone in the house can refill the Berkey accurately, using the gauge and water level markings.

Greatly improved flow and nice aesthetic
The Berkey glass level spigot is very easy to install. I left a glass under the spigot on top of my trash can (the Berkey on the edge of the counter) the first time I filled it and it was bone dry the next morning. The instructions for installation were easy to follow and I took the time to give my Royal Berkey a cleaning while I had it opened up as well.There are two changes I've noticed the most with this spigot, #1 it is a little wider than the default one and doesn't fit so well into the Ikea glass litre bottles I fill to keep cold water in the fridge (the ones with the rubber stopped like a bottle of Grolsch). #2 perhaps because of this, it pours much faster and I've found you get higher flow much lower to empty than the previous spigot. This is a big bonus, filling up kettles, saucepans, coffee pots, bottles for drinking water, it is so much faster now.The water level varies in accuracy but really it's there to let you know when it's getting low, not whether it's 3/4 full or 7/8 full, so for this purpose it delivers in spades.I'm very happy with the glass spigot, primarily for the increased flow of water. The spigot seems well built and sturdy. To be honest most of the time I still fill up my Berkey once the flow is greatly reduced so that means it's almost empty. Sometimes I check the level to know when to fill it, but that being the primary reason I bought it I can't say I'm using that function of it very often. Still, the increased flow and to a far lesser extent the better aesthetic make this a 5-star easily recommendable purchase.

Works great
The worst package that it's delivered in. First one was broken. Second one came packaged the same way but made it.
