Berkey gravity water filters offer an effective alternative to disposable plastic bottles for providing drinking water, with capacities from two to six gallons and multiple sizes to meet family needs.
Each system comes equipped with two Black Berkey Purification Elements which contain microscopic pores designed to block out contaminants, such as trihalomethanes, heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, lead, and other potentially hazardous chemicals. Independent third-party tests have demonstrated these purifiers’ success at eliminating an array of contaminants including trihalomethanes, heavy metals, pesticides pharmaceuticals lead as well as other harmful chemicals.
The Purification Elements
Black Berkey filters stand apart from traditional gravity water filters by employing media that promotes ionic absorption of contaminants to remove hazardous chemicals and heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and chromium 6 that have been known to cause arteriosclerosis, intestinal infections and allergies in humans and animals alike.
Not only can our filters effectively eliminate foul tastes and odors, they also remove bacterial cysts and parasites by adsorption while chemical contaminants like pesticides, VOCs, trihalomethanes chlorine and lead are reduced. Black Berkey elements have proven their superiority to State and EPA accredited laboratories during independent tests for the removal of over 200 harmful substances such as hexavalent chromium, cadmium, uranium and mercury. These contaminants can be found in most municipal drinking water sources and bottled water brands. An extended “contact period” in the filtration process enables this outstanding reduction, without resorting to using pressure, electricity or chemicals as part of its mechanism.
The Lower Chamber
A Berkey gravity water filter is an excellent solution for anyone seeking to drink clean and pure water. These filters do not need electricity to operate and can easily be cleaned – ideal for camping and hiking trips!
Black Berkey Elements mechanically filter waterborne pathogens while drastically reducing trihalomethanes, heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, petroleum contaminants, nitrates herbicides VOCs perfluorinated chemicals rust silt sediment levels in drinking water supplies. They’re perfect for daily use or outdoor activities where treated or electric powered water may not be readily available – essential tools in hostile environments where access to clean drinking water may not exist.
Berkey water filters offer numerous advantages over gravity-based systems in terms of production; one such advantage is not having to adjust or stop production as water levels drop in their upper chamber, making setup quick and simple without the need for tools or plumbing connections.
The Spigot
Gravity water filters are essential emergency gear and work perfectly when treated or freshwater is scarce, such as during natural disasters. They are easy to assemble without requiring tools, plumbing or electricity and come complete with instructions for use. This gravity water filter comes equipped with all stainless steel parts necessary for assembly without tools being needed – simply assemble.
Berkey water filters utilize an upper chamber with a media element that acts to isolate contaminants and pollutants, leaving only purified drinking water to move through to the lower chamber. Here lies gravity’s finishing touch, where your contaminated water will now become safe, healthy drinking water!
Check how quickly a particular water filtration system will filter out toxins and contaminants in your water, some systems take time while others complete their job very rapidly.
The Pump
Black Berkey Elements differ from conventional gravity filters in that they use multiple approaches such as filtration, absorption, and ion exchange to remove hundreds of common waterborne pollutants, including trihalomethanes, cyanide, heavy metals such as lead (including lead paint ), herbicides pesticides VOCs petroleum contaminants fluoride fluorides radiologicals.
Berkey systems are powerful freestanding units designed to deliver clean, filtered drinking water without electricity or plumbing needs. Ideal for tap or raw, untreated sources like rivers, lakes, streams or private wells, the system delivers its water via a convenient spigot for consumption.
An emergency water filter system is an invaluable asset to any home, outdoor enthusiast, traveler, missionary abroad, relief organization or health-conscious family. They’re perfect for use as part of any emergency preparedness kit as it ensures access to safe and clean drinking water in case of natural disaster or power outage. In addition, these handy water purifiers work solely off gravity without needing electricity for operation – perfect for camping trips and outdoor adventures alike!
