I ordered the Big Berkey and then added this. Unless you have xray vision this beats lifting the top off to see what's going on in the bottom. The the threaded nipple is way too short for the money, the nut barely fits on and I can see the possibility of stripping the threads. The stock tap has a nipple almost 1/2" longer. The upside is it has seemingly a better valve with definitely a better flow rate. Two thumbs up there! Cheers, Al

This sight glass is definitely a plus, as it takes the guess work out. I had been constantly running out of water or taking the filter resevoir off to see how much water was left inside.

I ordered the sight glass as an option when I ordered the royal berkey and the sight glass is just a little too short. I suppose they could have shipped the wrong one but the one they shipped allows waster to come out of the top of the sight glass before the storage chamber is full which leaves some unusable capacity in the chamber. Still works but has the effect of making the unit less capable of processing intended volume of water. Bummer

I ordered this, assuming I would also get the nut and washer as shown in the picture. But instead I received the tap with no washer or nut, which is worthless.

I contacted the reseller and they said they are going to send the missing parts. Which they did. Now the only thing missing is a longer screw, so that washers could be applied correctly. As it is you can only use one washer and you must over tighten it just so the nut stays on.

So you never run out because you can't see the water level - I think this is a Must Have on the Filter.

This product is great, we've been using it for a week and are very satisfied with the quality. It's a little expensive but worth it.

Great item, we even like the spigot better as well. Will recommend this as well as the seller, fast service. Will also buy the stand to set the Berkey on so there will be no need to move the Berkey since cups, glasses or even coffeepots will fit underneath the spigot.
