Does this travel berkey come ready to use, or does the spigot (or any other pertinent equipment) need to be purchased separately?

Yes, everything you need comes in the box and you can start using it immediately.

all the parts come with, though you need to put them together - & the video instructions on the Berkey web site are worth watching!

It comes with all components that you can easily assemble. However, I did purchase additional (optional) items: set of fluoride filters, mineral stones, primer pump and a glass spigot (so I can see the water level).

It comes ready to be put together, the spigot is included but some assembly is required.

Hi Melanie, The everything is included in the water container when you get it. You will have to assemble it, and make sure you read the directions carefully. You have to prime the individual filters before use, but they will work better this way. Also, the first couple gallons you should discard, because of slight residue. And completely rinse all inside chambers after about a week-or two. I love my filter! it made bad water taste good, and its great for preppers because its smaller. Hope this helps!

It comes completely ready to use. I purchased the extra filters to filter out floride and chlorine but that's optional.It does need to be assembled. But all the necessary parts are included. I'm extremely happy with it BTW.

It comes with everything you need. It worked great for us. No leaks and has held up for the past 2 years.

No spigot. A lobster/clam steaming pot usually has one. It might be helpful for saving the used oil but I imagine it would add to the price.

I really don't remember, the spigot broke while my husband was installing it and we bought a different spigot at the hardware store.

Comes with the spigot. What a great thing to own. The water always tastes great. Filters are easy to clean. You cannot go wrong!!

Yes, there is a piece inside the storage box that connects to the hose. There is also a small connection hose (about 2 feet long) that comes with the box/storage unit that connects to the spigot. The small connection hose is brown in color if that helps.

No. It came with a cheap plastic spigot even though it was listed as steel. It would be worth it to spend more money to get better quality.. I was very disappointed with my purchase.

Hello, yes it is, but you have to purchase the Berkey SG-7.5 Glass Water Level Spigot for Big Berkey and Travel Systems, have a nice day.

The spigot is plastic. I wouldn't use it on the next 1 that I purchase. I'll just connect a short hose and shut off valve to the drain spout at the lowest practical place. That allows me to take advantage of water pressure. The spigot is useless for me. Otherwise it's a great product.

There is a small nut from the new device that is suppose to fit into position once you have removed the on-off handle from your existing spigot/faucet. Thats gotten fit or your hosed (pun intended). The best thing to do is check the manufacturere's website as they have a very helpful video that will detail the installation. Good luck.

It is NOT premixed. You will need to add the same volume of distiller water.

lol. i just got mine filled for the first time tonight. It does not need any attachments and im not sure if there are any attachments. its ready to go out of box. We like it because beer can last 2-3x longer then glass kind because of the seal. But my husband said it hard to poor but we make do.

Mine came with hose & regulator assembly. Did not have to purchase anything, just mount it & connect it.

It's ceramic and the spigot (?) is plastic so there should be no metal in it. Also, it comes with a plastic ring on top so when Amazon says "people who buy this item also buy this" and offer you the ring, you don't need it.
