The Crown Berkey gravity water filter is the top seller, offering easy assembly and producing drinkable water minutes after opening.
Berkey systems with larger holding capacities offer more reserve use during times of peak consumption. Compared with smaller Brita or Pur filters, Berkeys remove more pathogens and harmful chemicals like herbicides, pesticides, VOCs and even radon 222 from your drinking water than their smaller counterparts do.
1. Removes Pathogenic Bacteria and Parasites
Berkey water filters effectively eradicate pathogenic bacteria and parasites such as Giardia duodenalis, cryptosporidia and Giardia lamblia as well as harmful toxins like endocrine disrupters, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals from drinking water supplies.
These contaminants can pose significant health issues, including breathing issues, heart disease and early puberty. Black Berkey elements have been proven effective at eliminating trihalomethanes, inorganic minerals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, herbicides, VOCs and petroleum products from reaching our bodies.
2. Removes Harmful Chemicals
The Crown Berkey Water Filter System contains everything needed to begin producing clean drinking water immediately upon assembly. It’s durable yet portable – an essential feature.
Black Berkey purification elements efficiently eliminate pathogenic cysts, parasites and harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs organic solvents radon 222 trihalomethanes while leaving healthy minerals behind for your body to benefit from.
These same Black Berkey filters can also reduce levels of PFOA, PFOS and other toxic industrial chemicals.
3. Removes Fluoride and Arsenic
Fluoride filters made from aluminum oxide (activated alumina), unlike pure aluminum which is water soluble and associated with adverse health impacts, do not contain water-soluble aluminum and therefore pose no negative health implications.
For optimal performance, it is advised that elements not be exposed to freezing temperatures or extreme heat, which will degrade and shorten their lifespan.
4. Removes Lead and Mercury
Lead and mercury contamination of drinking water can cause severe health issues, including diminished intelligence, kidney dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. The Crown Berkey system easily filters these harmful metals from water supply.
Chromium 6, also known as hexavalent chromium, can contribute to stomach and gastrointestinal ailments and promote cancerous growth in both humans and animals. To protect their bodies from this dangerous chemical exposure, Black Berkey purification elements within the Crown Berkey system eliminate it through filtering elements called Black Berkeys.
5. Removes Trihalomethanes
Trihalomethanes, formed when chlorine in drinking water reacts with organic compounds, are associated with adverse health impacts like cancer and heart disease. Black Berkey filters reduce these harmful trihalomethanes to below lab detectable levels for maximum protection of human health.
These systems, unlike store filters, are specially designed to remove pathogenic bacteria cysts and parasites as well as harmful herbicides pesticides pharmaceuticals arsenic VOCs organic solvents and radon222 from the air. In addition, these systems reduce lead and cadmium.
6. Removes Nitrates and Nitrites
Our largest Berkey system holds six gallons of water and can be expanded with 2-8 Black Filters or Fluoride Filters for greater filter capacity. Easy assembly, field priming and use make it perfect!
Reduce plastic bottle waste while operating 100% off grid without electricity or water pressure! Plus it looks beautiful in any kitchen! Stainless Steel construction means this reusable system will stand the test of time!
7. Removes Fluoride
Fluoride-reducing elements (PF-2) may also be added to the lower chamber for additional fluoride removal.
These systems can help reduce the need for costly bottled water products that end up polluting resources and landfills with plastic bottles. This saves resources while decreasing plastic bottle pollution.
8. Removes Pathogenic Bacteria and Parasites
These Berkey water systems go far beyond what smaller filters like Brita or Pur offer, eliminating pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, herbicides and pesticides as well as heavy metals like lead and pharmaceuticals from your drinking water supply.
This system is ideal for large families or groups, as it easily breaks down and travels.
