The capacity is good and the water tastes great! It also looks very nice on my countertop.

I'm a long time Berkey user. Couldn't buy their filters anymore and mine were getting old, so I thought I'd give these a try. When I saw the newer look of the Legacy system and the somewhat bigger capacity than my Big Berkey, I thought I'd just order the whole system. The 3 gallon capacity is nice. It's used by just two of us at home but we live in the desert and go through a lot of water in the heat of the summer. Already I appreciate the bigger size. The size of the Legacy seems just right. We fill almost exactly once per day and were filling more often than that before. It's nice that we run out of filtered water less often!

Just opening the carton showed a lot of attention to quality. There is a lot of protection with cardboard top and bottom which protected the stainless steel appearance perfectly. The cloth bags to prevent scratching were a nice touch. Needless to say it arrived in perfect condition.

The Quick Start Guide was easy to follow and the filters came in a separate box. The red dye and the primer were in the box with the filters. They primed just like the old Berkey filters. Putting the whole system together was pretty easy, very similar to my old Berkey.

One other thing that I liked was the spigot. My Berkey came with a little black plastic spigot. It worked OK for years, but the appearance didn't match the quality of the stainless. This one came with a very heavy duty stainless steel spigot. The handle turns very smoothly. Definitely a nice quality touch. Looks better and works better.

I did take a look at the list of substances that the filters handle. It's an impressive list. But the real test was the taste of the water. My local water supplier puts plenty of chlorine in the water. It seems to be worse in the spring and summer. My old Berkey filters completely removed that bad taste. I can say after using these filters that the Boroux filters work every bit as good. I can't taste any of the chlorine at all after filtering with these.

Very happy with the system. Fast delivery and the 60 day money back guarantee made this an easy and risk free decision. Looking forward to years of use. For sure would recommend to others!

I learned about the legacy system from a friend and decided to purchase one. It was less expensive than Berkey and it appeared to filter out more contaminants. I preferred the sleek modern design, as well. The system was well supported in documentation for priming and when I had some questions about the water quality report and how long the filters would last and needed cleaning, customer support was patient in discussing my questions and further directing me on product use. In the short time I’ve had the unit I am happy with the product. And the water taste is excellent.

So far this is working great! I have a Berkey and this is as good or better. Do wish the veiwer spout had the bubble ball (sorry have no idea what that’s called) like on my Berkey but that’s my only complaint.

I’ve only had my Boroux for a month. I’m on well water and can tell a significant difference in the clarity and taste of my water!!!
