Blemished Big Berkey® System (2.25 gal.) BK4X2-BB-BLEM ______________________________________________________________________ Blemished Berkey® Systems: Same Great Performance, Special Price! Blemished systems enable you to enjoy economic savings while being assured that the performance of your Berkey® system has by no means been compromised. Cosmetically blemished Berkey® systems come with the same warrantied Black Berkey® Elements that have made Berkey® by NMCL the leader in the industry. Cosmetic blemishes may include scratches, dents, discolored spots on the finish, or irregular polish marks. Blemished Berkey® systems are identified by a distinctive “B” stamped on the upper and lower stainless steel chambers, which indicates that the chambers ARE NOT warrantied against cosmetic defects.

Note: Blemished systems may not be shipped in original packaging. Made for the Extreme, Enjoyed Every Day Berkey® Systems are powerful, freestanding water filters that sit on a countertop or stand.
