I think i got very lucky when i contacted the Aussie Berrkey Shop looking for one of the best & most proven water filtering systems on the market. Being manufactured in USA ! what with all supply chain systems world wide still in a bad state. I was able to secure my Berkey Traveller model on a shipment just landed in Australia, so lucky for me. I had done extensive research and easily settled on Berkey a brand who have stood the test of time. The extra bonus was the awesome customer service from the family owned Aussie store actually treated as if I was one of the family.All the advice and info I received was so good I have no reservations highly recommending them to anyone looking for the best & simplest high quality water filtration system you can buy.
