Berkey water filter systems are gravity fed and do not require electricity; ideal for emergency situations and boondocking!
Berkey filters use adsorption to form an ionic barrier across their tiny pores that traps contaminants smaller than their pores and blocks water contaminants that might enter.
It’s Portable
The smaller Travel Berkey is ideal for traveling on weekends or vacations. While its compact size fits easily in most spaces, its powerful filter can process 6.5 gallons per hour for optimal filtering capacity.
The Black Berkey elements have been extensively tested, and have proven themselves superior to most gravity filters when it comes to filtering out contaminants such as trihalomethanes, heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, Bisphenol-A and Perfluorinated Chemicals – along with VOCs – petroleum contaminants (herbicides), herbicides rust sediment radiologicals. Crafted with premium quality materials which target specific contaminants.
Stainless steel systems can be somewhat challenging to dispense water from as you must lift up and look into each chamber to dispense from it. A sightglass spigot can make this process simpler by helping prevent overfilling of lower chambers which could cause overflow, as well as providing more accurate estimation of what volume of water there is in upper ones – adding this accessory may even result in discounts when ordering your system!
It’s Easy to Clean
If you were to throw steel ball bearings at a magnet, many would stick, while some would bounce off. A Berkey water filter works in much the same way; its filters eliminate pathogens such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium that may cause serious illness in humans.
Black Berkey purification elements generally last about 6,000 gallons or three years before they need to be serviced or cleaned, depending on your water quality. Without regular maintenance, the filters could become clogged with sediment and their filter efficiency decreased substantially.
Berkey water filters can be easily maintained through an easy process that involves mixing equal parts vinegar and water in a bowl large enough to submerge their elements. Allow them to soak for approximately 20 minutes, before gently brushing with a soft-bristled brush before rinsing off and reinserting into your system for use again – and enjoy clean drinking water every time!
It’s Effective
Berkey water filters are an excellent way to prepare for emergencies in areas prone to power outages or natural disasters, camping trips or travel; providing access to safe drinking water in any environment.
Berkey’s gravity flow design provides water molecules with extended contact time with Black Berkey elements for more thorough purification, which means more effective removal of heavy metals, toxins, and pathogens from water sources.
Black Berkey elements can effectively remove red food coloring as well as many contaminants found in water, such as glyphosate (commonly referred to as Roundup), chloramines, chlorine, herbicides and pesticides, fluoride, volatile organic compounds petroleum contaminants haloacetic acids silt sediment and more – making this system an invaluable way to achieve clean drinking water at an affordable cost.
It’s Affordable
Good tasting, clean and wholesome water is key to overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, both tap and bottled water sources often contain chlorine, lead, unhealthy chemicals, pathogens and pathogenic organisms that threaten our wellbeing. Berkey filter systems produce more healthful drinking water than any other gravity filtration system available today – their Black Berkey elements have been independently tested to remove trihalomethanes, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, VOCs petroleum products perfluorinated chemicals nitrates nitrites and radiologicals contaminants from our drinking sources.
Black Berkey filter elements can be cleaned multiple times before needing replacing; unlike many filters that need changing every few months. Berkey has also released many accessories like sight glasses that enable users to see exactly how much water remains in their tank (check out scratch and dent units HERE). Its elegant stainless steel design also makes this system both beautiful and long-term reliable.
