Santevia vs Berkey
When it comes to cleaner, healthier water, not all filters are created equal. Santevia is the Berkey alternative that goes beyond filtration— not only by removing contaminants, but also by replenishing your water with essential minerals for great taste and health benefits.

Berkey Removes, Santevia Restores
Although both Santevia and Berkey remove contaminants, Berkey also removes healthy minerals. Santevia goes further: we filter harmful contaminants, then add back essential minerals like calcium and magnesium.

I used to swear by Berkey, but it removes good minerals too. Santevia filters the bad and adds essentials back in. Water tastes better and feels healthier!

I love my Santevia filter. Could never switch to another brand!
Caroline K.
I can’t believe how good this water! The taste is so much better compared to my old Berkey.

Very easy to use / prep and no need to attach it to your sink faucet to prep…. and the subscription delivery makes it easy to have new ones and change the filter.Plus it feels a lot more affordable than Berkey because you’re paying for fillers at a affordable amount every couple months rather than a very large amount every couple years.
C. Hassel
Contemplated a Berkey… chose Santevia as it fits our lifestyle much better. I have had both water filtration systems and the glass is by far the best of the two IMO especially for having it out on the counter to fit in with the decor... All in all a wonderful purchase, highly recommend. Worth the investment.
