Overview
Not an original Berkey part, this Larayci cartridge is an independent replacement for the black carbon filters in Berkey gravity systems. It attaches with a washer and wing nut, and water drips through coconut shell activated carbon as the system siphons.
Chlorine and taste are where these filters do their work, and the washer and wing nut fitting is designed to stop leaks. Expect upkeep: the maker asks for a soak before first use and a full submersion about once a week so the drip siphon works.
Who it's for
Households that run a Berkey gravity unit at home or on trips can restock with a four-pack. Those hoping to lower TDS, or who want only genuine Berkey parts, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Fits Berkey Travel through Crown systems
- No priming step required
- Coconut shell carbon with fine filtration precision
- Lead-free and BPA-free materials
- Not an original Berkey product
- Does not reduce TDS
- Weekly full submersion needed for siphoning
- Pre-soak advised despite the no priming claim
Performance notes
Gravity draws water through the carbon, so flow depends on how much water is above the filters and how clean the carbon surface is. Chlorine is absorbed by the coconut shell carbon, and the fine filtration precision traps sand, rust and sediment. The drip siphon works properly only when the carbon has been fully submerged, which is why the maker calls for regular soaking.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to prime the Larayci filters?
No priming is required according to the listing, but Larayci asks you to soak and clean the filters before installing to remove residual manufacturing dust.
Are Larayci filters made by Berkey?
No. Larayci is an independent water filtration brand, and the filter is not an original Berkey product.
Why does my Larayci filter drip slowly?
Larayci says the carbon filter must be fully submerged about once a week for the drip system to siphon properly.
