Berkey water systems provide a simple, sturdy and economical way to filter drinking water – perfect for travel, outdoor activities and unexpected emergencies.
Black filters have an average life of 6,000 gallons each, eliminating pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites as well as harmful chemicals like herbicides, pesticides, VOCs organic solvents radon 222 and nitrates from entering water systems.
Easy to assemble.
The Berkey package comes complete with everything necessary for getting started, such as two stackable silver chambers, a lid, base and spout; plus two black filters rated to last 6,000 gallons each (depending on your model you might even get fluoride filters as well).
Filters operate using adsorption. Filter elements contain millions of tiny pores designed to trap contaminants instead of pushing them through. Furthermore, electrostatic forces adhere to any contaminants they come across and keep them at bay so they never make it back into drinking water supplies.
Berkey filters require quite a lot of counter space and cannot be portable; however, if you are comfortable keeping it at your home or office and don’t mind its cost, they are an effective way of providing access to clean, healthy water in times of emergency.
Easy to clean.
A Berkey water filter is easy to maintain and transport around your home or on vacation or camping trips – simply make sure that it’s handled with care to avoid damaging its filters!
Berkey Water Filters are powerful enough to purify raw, untreated water from multiple sources such as rivers and lakes, making them the ideal solution in times of natural disaster or emergency when access to clean drinking water is limited.
Water poured into the upper chamber slowly trickles down through Black Berkey elements into the lower chamber where it is collected as pure, filtered water. This process extends its contact time with the filter and increases its effectiveness at removing trihalomethanes, heavy metals, inorganic minerals pesticides VOC’s petroleum products perfluorinated chemicals radiologicals atrazine silt and sediment particles resulting in safe drinking water that also decreases harmful pathogens such as E-coli cholera parasites etc.
Easy to transport.
Berkey water systems are created with mobility in mind. Constructed of stainless steel for durability, these portable units can easily be moved between homes, work locations or vacation destinations with their lightweight handles and lids designed to keep dirt and dust at bay.
Purifiers can be used to purify water from any untreated source – tap, spring, pond or river. They reduce harmful contaminants like viruses, bacteria cysts pesticides herbicides pharmaceuticals and heavy metals down to detectable levels while still leaving behind beneficial minerals that support our bodies’ wellbeing.
Their compact Travel Berkey system is perfect for traveling, camping and hiking (it fits comfortably in most carry on suitcases), or during natural disasters and emergencies when treated water is unavailable. Holding up to 1.5 gallons, the upper chamber nests inside of the lower for easy transportation (12″ high). Berkey also offers accessories like stands and sight glasses that enable users to monitor water levels in both chambers.
Easy to store.
Berkey Water Filters have quickly become one of the world’s most effective and cost effective personal gravity water filter systems, providing powerful yet cost effective protection from harmful elements, parasites and bacteria without harming beneficial minerals our bodies need for survival. Ideal for everyday home use as well as in hostile filtering environments like lakes, streams, stagnant ponds or foreign supplies they make an excellent addition.
Once water is manually poured into the upper chamber of a stainless steel Berkey, it slowly trickles through Black Berkey elements into its lower chamber, producing clean and purified drinking water. Through an ion exchange process and carbon elements’ absorption process, viruses, pathogenic bacteria cysts heavy metals trihalomethanes VOCs petroleum products perfluorinated chemicals rust are effectively removed from drinking water through this purification method.
Clean water from a Berkey is safe and healthy to drink and can be stored indefinitely, depending on its size. Take it with you on vacations, hunting and camping trips or in your RV – the possibilities are endless!
