Both the Alexapure Pro and Big Berkey water filters perform effectively in terms of filtering out contaminants; however, Berkey offers more systems tailored to suit different buyers’ needs.
The Berkey water filter excels at filtering out more contaminants than its Alexapure Pro counterpart, such as heavy metals such as lead and copper and Chromium VI, while also performing better at eliminating organic compounds.
Cost
The Amazon Alexapure Pro gravity-fed water filter has been certified by both the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and Water Quality Association (WQA), with their goal being to enhance user lives through advanced technology like air and water filtration systems, all covered by their lifetime warranty.
Both the Big Berkey and Alexapure Pro can remove contaminants, but the Berkey provides more flexibility and capacity than its competitor – serving up to four people simultaneously while Alexapure only provides two servings at one time. In addition, Berkey boasts more modern designs with longer warranties than Alexapure.
The Big Berkey may cost more initially, but has lower long-term costs. Setup and use are easy with most standard faucets; some customers report experiencing rubber taste upon using this system and it may not work with certain bottles.
Convenience
Berkey offers many model choices ranging in size from 1.5 gallon (Travel Berkey) to 6 gallons (Crown Berkey), and can filter water at 1.5-gallons/hour or faster, with filters lasting for 6000+ gallons each before being recycled for reuse. Furthermore, Berkey features a faster flow rate, purifying one gallon in just over 30 minutes while laboratory certification allows it to remove an array of harmful contaminants such as bacteria, heavy metals and volatile organic chemicals from your supply of drinking water.
The Big Berkey outdoes the Alexapure Pro when it comes to contaminant reduction, filter capacity and price. Both countertop units use gravity filtration; however, Big Berkey stands out with its larger body and better flow rate; also including up to four filters instead of just two and featuring a stainless steel spigot instead of its plastic one, it boasts a lifetime stainless steel warranty while Alexapure only comes with one year limited coverage.
Performance
Both Berkey and Alexapure boast impressive numbers when it comes to the variety of contaminants they’re able to remove from water, and both publish their test results online for transparency. Their main difference lies in that Berkey provides many different models and sizes while Alexapure Pro only has one at 2.25 gallons.
This represents a considerable difference when it comes to upfront cost and number of gallons treated per filter. The Big Berkey model can treat up to 6,000 gallons, far surpassing Alexapure Pro’s limit of 5,000. Both brands are capable of removing over 200 contaminants; Berkey outshines Alexapure Pro in terms of fluoride removal, arsenic reduction, lead chromium VI reduction, microplastic removal and virus elimination capabilities. Their BPA-free plastic water filtration systems come backed with lifetime warranties while Alexapure Pro’s limited two year coverage.
Warranty
Both stainless steel countertop water filter systems appear similar on the outside, and both effectively remove contaminants. Berkey boasts higher customer satisfaction ratings and provides lifetime coverage; both systems boast modern designs that make use easy; however, some customers have complained of rust-like staining on stainless steel surfaces and an off-putting rubbery taste in their water as a result of rubbery filter parts.
The Berkey system boasts a much longer lifespan than Alexapure, holding up to 6000 gallons before Black Berkey elements must be replaced. Furthermore, its flow rate surpasses Alexapure by twofold when additional filters are fitted – this way doubleing up its effectiveness over time.
Both brands remove over 200 water impurities, but Berkey outshines AlexaPure at filtering out viruses and lead. Furthermore, Berkey offers lifetime warranties for its unit housings and standard spigots as well as six-month warranties on washers, hole plugs, knobs and wingnuts.
