berkey travel water filter

The Berkey Travel Water Filter is easy to assemble and clean, portable enough for camping trips and vacations, and provides similar filtration power as large systems.

Each Black Berkey element is specifically designed to reduce or remove contaminants, while still leaving your body with essential minerals it needs.

Easy to assemble

If you’re searching for an easy water filtration system to put together, the Berkey may be ideal. It comes complete with two stackable silver chambers, a lid, rubber ring base, spigot and filters – as well as vials of red dye so that you can test their condition.

Once your system has been thoroughly washed and all packaging removed, assembly is easy. Simply place the lower chamber atop of the upper one and screw in its knob – make sure not to overtighten!

Once assembled, you are all set! Simply fill up the upper chamber with water from any source and disseminate through the spigot for dispensation to three people at a time. Lightweight and portable enough for camping trips or emergency preparedness situations alike, its design features easy cleaning as well as a tall sight glass so you can check water level.

Easy to clean

If you’re in search of an easy to maintain water filter, the Berkey travel water filter might just be what you need. Made of stainless steel material for maximum corrosion resistance and drop protection. Its robust construction prevents accidental damages.

To properly clean a Berkey, begin by emptying both upper and lower chambers of waste material, before filling a bucket or container with purified water (add 16 drops of bleach to disinfect), removing Black Berkey elements from their chambers, and setting them out on a flat surface for storage.

Use a scrub brush or scouring pad to clean each of the filtration elements, then rinse in purified water after each cleaning session and allow them to soak for several minutes afterward. Finally, you can check each element for full priming using red food dye test strips.

Easy to transport

The Travel Berkey was designed as an efficient and space-saving system, ideal for small homes, apartments, travel (fits in most suitcases), outdoor activities and unexpected emergencies. Boasting a 1.5 gallon capacity and made of highly polished AISI 304 stainless steel material – its upper chamber nestles inside its lower chamber for transport purposes while standing only 12″ in height – the Travel Berkey fits easily into any life situation imaginable.

The system comes equipped with two Black Berkey elements, spigot and lid; along with rubber gasket protection at its base. Furthermore, this portable water filter comes with a lifetime warranty to guarantee reliability and long-term usage. It makes this one of the most dependable portable filters currently available on the market.

An additional great feature is its portability; making it suitable for hiking and camping trips as well as off-grid living situations. Furthermore, this device doesn’t require installation or connection to an outside water source, making it suitable for off-grid living situations where toxic chemicals could otherwise contaminate drinking water supplies.

Lifetime warranty

The Berkey water filter systems for small homes and apartments are an ideal way to filter 1.5 gallons of water at once, featuring two Black Berkey elements for easy filtering and maintenance. Plus, their compact size makes them portable enough for travel or camping adventures!

This product is covered by the Berkey Care Lifetime Warranty from New Millennium Concepts Ltd (NMCL), who will replace any stainless steel system or component that fails due to normal consumer use for as long as its original owner owns their home. However, this warranty excludes damage due to user abuse, saltwater/air exposure, lack of routine cleanings and accidents.

Installing the Berkey system is simple and can take only 45 minutes for Travel, Big or Royal models. Simply place the filters, tighten down plastic wingnuts and install the spigot; for further assistance visit their website where a complete set of instructions in multiple languages are available.
