Accessing water that tastes good, is healthy, and free from contaminants can be challenging. Even bottled water may contain substances with unfavorable flavors or odors.
The Berkey system utilizes an age-old gravity-based filtration process and its stainless steel components are lightweight yet sturdy and simple to set up.
The Big Berkey
Berkey filters use gravity to force source water through a series of purification elements, eliminating pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites as well as unhealthy minerals like nitrates and fluoride – as well as harmful toxins like herbicides, pesticides and pharmaceuticals.
One of the primary benefits of a Big Berkey is its ability to filter dirty water in emergency situations from ponds, rivers and streams – ideal for RVs, camping trips and homes with young children.
Black Berkey Purification Elements can purify water for up to 3,000 gallons (6,000 for both), providing significant cost savings over time compared to pitcher filters.
Berkey does offer a solution that works around this difficulty: a spigot with sight glass which fits between the lower and upper chamber to show how much water remains in each. You can purchase this here.
The Travel Berkey
The Travel Berkey is the ideal water purification solution for small homes and apartments, travel (it fits neatly in most suitcases), outdoor activities or unexpected emergencies. Assembled quickly in minutes without tools, electricity or water pressure requirements; its compact form stores 1.5 gallons of filtered water in its upper chamber with maximum filtering rate of 2.5 gallons per hour with two Black Berkey elements.
This stainless steel filter effectively removes or reduces over 200 contaminants, such as pesticides, heavy metals, toxins and pathogens. Furthermore, it eliminates E-coli, Cholera and other harmful bacteria to more than 99.9%.
Travel Berkeys offer an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic bottles, and with proper care will last years. We also offer scratch and dent units at additional savings; these units may feature minor cosmetic flaws but still function flawlessly; food dye tests should still be conducted regularly to ensure filters are in working condition.
The GO Berkey
GO Berkey was designed for people on the move who require access to clean drinking water in emergency situations or outdoor settings, such as camping, backpacking, travel or office use. Lightweight yet sturdy – one or two people can share its use!
Black Berkey elements have been specifically engineered to remove trihalomethanes, heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, inorganic minerals and radiologicals from drinking water supplies by using their proprietary blend of materials that have proven more efficient than standard ceramic and charcoal filters.
The GO Berkey can also remove naturally-occurring alpha emitters such as polonium and radium that cause bone cancer, while also decreasing exposure to potentially hormone-disrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates found in plastic products, and potentially eliminating disinfectant byproducts when chlorine is added to drinking water.
The Sport Berkey
The Sport Berkey portable water filter is perfect for travel, outdoor activities, emergencies or disasters, hiking or camping and is the ultimate personal water filter. Utilizing Black Berkey elements to filter questionable sources like lakes and streams as well as stagnant ponds in foreign countries with poor regulations may provide protection from harmful bacteria, viruses and contaminants such as remote lakes and streams, stagnant ponds or local water supplies contaminated by hazardous materials like bacteria viruses.
Black Berkey elements are constructed from non-leaching LDPE #4 medical grade plastic while their bottle and cap are constructed from BPA-free PP (polypropylene). Neither material has been linked with cancerous cells or hormone disruption. Furthermore, Black Berkey elements can easily be cleaned and reprimed to continue filtering out harmful contaminants.
Fill the bottle with water and secure the cap tightly to avoid leaks. Next, pull down lever to expose straw and flush Filter twice with fresh water before drinking – this helps eliminate dust build-up in filters.
