Berkey Systems are the World's Most
Powerful and Economical Personal Water purification Systems Providing
Reliable and User-friendly Water Purification in Both Normal and Hostile
Filtration Environments.
Moreover,
Berkey systems are capable of
purifying both treated water and untreated raw water from such sources as remote
lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries, where
regulations may be substandard at best.
So powerful, this system is able to
remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals
your body needs. Perfect for everyday use and a must in hostile environments
where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be
available.
Black Berkey® Purification Elements
Black Berkey® Purification Elements are more
powerful than any other gravity filter element currently available. In
fact, we tested the Black Berkey® purification elements with more
than 10,000 times the concentration of pathogens per liter than is
required by standard test protocol. This concentration of pathogens is so great that the
post filtered water should be expected to contain 100,000 or more
pathogens per liter (99.99% reduction - the requirement for pathogenic
removal).
Incredibly the purification elements
removed 100%. Absolutely no pathogens were cultured from the effluent or were able to be detected, even under an
electron microscope, setting a new standard in water purification.
What's more, the
unique Black Berkey® purification elements are self-sterilizing.

Concerned about Fluroide
or Arsenic in your water?
A special filtering element is available for reducing Fluoride and Arsenic in your water with our PF-2 post reduction elements.
No need for expensive disposable filters. Black Berkey
purification elements are re-cleanable.
When the flow rate decreases
simply brush the Black Berkey purification elements with a ScotchBrite
pad under running water, reinstall and your system is again ready to
purify water. Each durable and efficient purification element will last
for up to 3,000 gallons (6,000 gallons per set of two) and provide
years of efficient water purification. What's more, the unique Black
Berkey purification elements are self-sterilizing.
The Black Berkey purification element formulation has been tested by
State & EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF
(Std. 53) protocol.
Berkey®
Natural Purification Systems are the ultimate in water purification and
the ideal personal protection and traveling companions. Used worldwide
for normal, hostile and emergency environments to provide the purest,
sparkling clean water possible...
For
generations, health-conscious people around the world have recognized
that the foundation to a healthy life and healthy body is clean, fresh
drinking water. This important essential element is the basis for
enjoying your longest, healthiest life. No amount of vitamins or
supplements can substitute for the vital life-sustaining properties
found in nourishing, healthful drinking water. It is truly the
foundation of life.
Unfortunately,
securing your access to good tasting, sparkling, wholesome drinking
water can be harder than you might expect. Water is often laced with
chlorine, lead, high levels of harmful bacteria, and other unwanted
chemicals and contaminants. Frequently these produce unpleasant tastes
and odors. Even bottled water can contain these same contaminants, and
moreover it is very expensive. Other filtration systems are inferior.
Most do not remove pathogenic bacteria and many remove the beneficial
minerals that your body needs.
Perhaps that’s why Berkey®
systems have long been recognized as the world’s ultimate in water
purification. This simple, highly effective method of using gravity
was developed almost 200 years ago... yet it still produces some of the
finest, most healthful drinking water available.
How Berkey® Natural Water Purifiers Operate
To
use, water is poured into the upper chamber. Gravity draws this water
through the exclusive purification elements where contaminates are
captured on and within theses micro-porous elements and are separated
from the water. The purified water then collects in the lower chamber
where it can be drawn through the spigot. What’s more, Berkey® elements are re-cleanable and can be used over and over again.

The same high quality and effectiveness of the gravity
filtration process, that is utilized in Berkey® systems, has stood the
test of time. Gravity filtration has been used by relief organizations
such as UNICEF, the Peace Corps, Red Cross Societies Internationally,
missionaries and relief workers in over 140 countries throughout the
world.
