Did you know? There are fifty-one known water contaminants currently not regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. There are over 116,000 human-made chemicals that are finding their way into public water supply systems. There are estimates that from five hundred thousand to seven million people get sick per year from drinking tap water. Bottled water is 240 - 10,000 times more expensive than water from the tap. The bottled water industry is not regulated - and many companies fill their bottles straight from the tap! Furthermore, the bottling process consumes the energy equivalent of 17 million barrels of oil annually and wastes two gallons of water for every gallon that is bottled.

BERKEY FILTERS are user-friendly in any and all situations and environments. Filtration elements are cleanable and do not need to be replaced. The Berkey units are non-electric and require no water pressure, making them perfect for everyday use, emergency conditions, and outdoors.
They are available in different models and sizes; all Berkeys completely remove pathogenic bacteria, parasites, and cysts. They extract chemicals - herbicides, VOCs, organic solvents, pesticides, trihalomethanes, and radon 222. The Berkey system is so powerful, it reduce nitrates, nitrites and dangerous minerals such as mercury and lead by over 99.99%. No other system duplicates this performance.
The Berkeys purify treated or bottled water, which may be laced with chemicals, antibiotics, even rocket fuel. Untreated raw water supplies from rivers, lakes, ponds and streams also become completely safe for drinking. . More info Shop now

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.
Black Berkey® purification elements are so powerful, they can remove food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other filtration element can duplicate this performance. The powerful Black Berkey® purification elements also remove or reduce pathogenic cysts, parasites, harmful or unwanted chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, trihalomethanes, cloudiness, silt, sediment, nitrates, nitrites, heavy metals, foul tastes and odors, yet they leave in the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body needs and....
Because Black Berkey® purification elements fit most gravity flters, existing gravity filtration systems can be upgraded. This vastly improves their ability to remove unwanted contaminates.

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. |
