    Berkey water filters are the most effective remover of microorganisms that cause diseases. Its stainless chambers are corrosive-free and so convenient to clean and maintain. It resists chemical reactions and does possess a scratch-proof quality.

    Berkey Water Filters are the world's most effective and cost-effective personal gravity water filtration systems.







    Berkey Water Filters for Emergency Preparedness

    Berkey Water Filter is the most preferred drinking water filter in remote areas and places with no tap water available but only open water, such as rivers, lakes, streams, or private wells.

    You pour water straight from the upper chamber of stainless water containers then safe and filtered potable drinking water is now stored in the lower chamber, ready for drinking.

    Berkey water filters are the best choice because they are easy to use even without electricity and are simple, healthy, efficient, cost-friendly, eco-wise, and highly reliable.

    Access to accessible drinking water becomes urgent during an emergency or natural disaster. Berkey systems are ideal water purification systems when treated tap water may not be available.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends that every household develop an emergency preparedness kit that includes food and water for each family member for several days.

    Gravity filtration has been used by relief organizations such as UNICEF, the Peace Corps, Red Cross Societies Internationally, missionaries, and relief workers worldwide. With the Berkey system of gravity purification, you can obtain safe drinking water after emergencies such as blackouts, hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes.

    Berkey water filters are utilized worldwide to set the international standard for water filters used in clean or hostile filtration environments.

    Owning a Berkey Water Filter allows you to use almost any outside natural water source and revolutionize it into the best tasting, natural drinking water possible.


    Comparison of Berkey Purification to Reverse Osmosis

    Based on current research, many health experts no longer recommend drinking Reverse Osmosis or Distilled water long-term because these methods strip out all the beneficial minerals from the water, making the water an acidic “hypotonic” solution.

    Berkey Purification systems do not remove all beneficial minerals from the water. Still, they extract harmful heavy metals such as lead and mercury and sedimentary minerals such as iron oxide. Therefore, the TDS reading will not typically change much unless there are a lot of heavy metals or sedimentary minerals within the source water.

    Reverse Osmosis does not remove pathogenic bacteria, so adding an additional UV light to the system is often necessary. However, the UV sometimes does not kill all the bacteria because any turbidity in the water can create shaded spots, preventing some bacteria from being exposed. In contrast, the Black Berkey Purification elements remove them.

    Reverse Osmosis systems typically are the most expensive due to the cost of the system and the additional expense of having the system plumbed in. Reverse Osmosis systems that are adequately maintained typically cost between 45-75 cents per gallon. A Berkey system typically costs about 2.8 cents per gallon.

    Here is why you need water purifiers.

    Berkey systems are the leading gravity-fed water purification solution for outdoor enthusiasts, self-reliant homes, missionaries abroad, relief organizations, and health-aware individuals and families worldwide. Water can be physically deceiving. It may look clear and germ-free, containing millions of bacteria. Different kinds of bacteria and viruses can be found in water. Particularly the untreated ones.

    Water that is left untreated is hazardous to drink. The ones that have not gone through the process of purification and filtration will result in severe complications in the body. Many illnesses can result from drinking contaminated water. Examples are amoebiasis, intestinal infections, giardiasis, and the like.

    Some older houses could have old pipes and plumbing systems that can introduce copper and other contaminants into the water supply. Even though your local water supply is treated, these contaminants may be able to enter your home as water flows through old, corroded pipes. Purifying your water helps keep these materials out of your drinking water.


    Common Contaminants

    • Protozoan Parasites. This kind of parasite reproduces by feeding off of animals. The animals serve as their primary source of living and survival. Classified under this contaminant are Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Water containing these microscopic organisms can also cause severe abdominal discomfort and diarrhea.

    • Escherichia Coli. This is profoundly known as the E.Coli Bacteria. E.Coli contributes greatly when it comes to a person's digestion process. It helps in breaking down the food into smaller particles. However, it becomes dangerous when it is carried into the upper digestive tract by drinking contaminated water. This can cause food poisoning and other intestinal infections.

    • Pesticides. This includes the inorganic chemical compounds that are maximized for agricultural matters.

    • Heavy Metals. Once water is contaminated through this, it can result in kidney problems and even cancer. Elements that belong under this contaminant are zinc, Arsenic, mercury, and lead.

    • Feces. This is self-explanatory as to how this can harm a person's health once carried inside the body. Regardless of whether it is of a person or animal' still, it is very unsanitary.

    • Petroleum. This can contaminate our waters through the oil spills and leakages that occur. Crude Oil is a typical example that mostly contaminates our drinking water.

    These are only a few but the most common ones endangering our water's reliability. We must be mindful of other contaminants: pharmaceutical drugs and medicines, sewage leaks, and industrial waste.

    Berkley Water Filter or Berkey Water Filter?

    People sometimes call us the “Berkley” Water Filter; however, it is Berkey® Water Filter. There is no water filter called the “Berkley” Water Filter. It’s a simple misspelling of Berkey.

    So don’t worry about if you are getting the right product. When someone talks about our product on a blog, sometimes some blog systems automatically correct the spelling to “Berkley” despite their intention.

    Berkey water filters comprise a proprietary formulation of more than six different media types, constructed into a very compact matrix containing millions of microscopic pores.

    These pores are so tiny that they produce what we call a “Tortuous Path” that pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, herbicides, pesticides, organic solvents, VOC’s, detergents, cloudiness, silt, sediment and sedimentary minerals, foul tastes, and odors must travel through.

    These paths are so small that these pollutants physically cannot pass through them and become trapped, eliminating them from your drinking water.

    Here are some of the reasons why you need to have the Berkey Water Filter:

    To Remove Chlorine From Water

    A lot of cities all over the world make use of chlorine to clean their water supply. Although this process is essential to ensure that we have clean drinking water free from microorganisms that could badly affect our health, chlorine is basically bleach and carries many health risks. It even increases your risk of developing bladder and rectal cancer.

    Most water utility companies choose to use chlorine to clean tap water because it's easy to use, inexpensive, and very effective in killing off bacteria found in the water. Chlorine can also be very effective in eliminating viruses in the water.

    Although chlorine is a good and effective disinfectant, it can make your drinking water smell and taste bad. Your water could be very unpleasant. The chlorine could also react with other metals that can be found in the water, therefore, forming a hazardous compound.

    Black Berkey Filters can remove 99.9%, and Berkey Shower Filters can remove 95% chlorine.

    To Remove Fluoride From Water

    We only need a small amount of the mineral fluoride. Fluoride started being added to public water in the 1940s in the united states to improve dental health. An excessive amount of it can be toxic, especially to children under eight.

    Fluoride is most well-known for tooth decay prevention. Fluoride is added to most toothpaste, soil fertilizers, and even water systems, that had caused an alarm worldwide. This act makes users prone to overconsumption of the mineral, which can cause severe health damage. Anything in excess is not beneficial.

    Irrefutable evidence shows that high fluoride consumption is directly associated with gastrointestinal problems, low fertility, thyroid and endocrine-related ailments, and even cancer.

    Though the Black Berkey Filters alone can remove up to 99.99% of fluoride for a short period, for extra protection, Berkey Fluoride Filters PF-2 can remove up to 97% of fluoride from tap water for up to 1,000 gallons.

    To Remove Pathogens From Water

    Removing Pathogens is another important reason you need to filter your drinking water. It would be best to keep parasites and bacteria out of your drinking water because they could seriously threaten your and your family’s health.

    A pathogen is an infectious agent. Pathogens are biological agents that cause illness to their host. A host is a susceptible animal or human body that these microorganisms feed on and multiply.

    Giardia duodenalis, also known as Giardia intestinalis and Giardia lamblia, is a microscopic parasite. This organism can survive and thrive in an environment for a long time, taking up to several months. This parasite causes Giardiasis, which causes diarrhea that could last six weeks. The microscopic parasite that causes that kind of illness and others can be ingested from water contaminated with human or animal feces.

    Another parasite that could cause the same symptoms mentioned above is Cryptosporidium, which even makes this parasite dangerous because it is resistant to chlorine. Hence, it needs to be filtered out using a water filter.

    Berkey filters can remove 99.9% of bacteria, including pathogenic bacteria and surrogates such as Raoultella terrigena, Bacillus atrophaeus (Anthrax Surrogate), and Salmonella enterica.

    For Giardia lamblia, the EPA minimum removal standard is 99.9%, a 3-log reduction. Berkey filters have been tested to reduce Giardia cysts by greater than 99.994% or log 4.6, which exceeds the EPA standard.

    The Environmental Protection Agency’s minimum removal standard for Cryptosporidium is 99% or a 2-log reduction. Berkey filters can remove Cryptosporidium to over 99.996% (log 4.6). That is over twice the EPA standard by log 2.6.

    To Remove Lead From Water

    Lead in drinking water is one of the greatest environmental threats we face. Lead must be removed from your water because it could be toxic when ingested. Lead is a toxic metal that can harm human health even at low exposure levels. Lead is persistent, and it can bioaccumulate in the body over time. Lead could commonly get into your drinking water by seeping into your water supply through the old plumbing pipelines or the solder used to join together.

    Lead can be removed from the water when you let the water pass through a filter that uses a reverse osmosis mechanism, a carbon filter, or distillation that was specifically designed to remove the metal from your drinking water.

    If your primary water source is a well, health authorities recommend that you have the water tested at least once a year for any lead or other kinds of contaminants.

    Over the past decade, epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated no safe lead level. In particular, studies conducted on diverse populations of children consistently show the harmful effects of lead exposure on cognitive function, as measured by IQ decrements, decreased academic performance, and poorer performance on tests of executive function. Lead exposure is also associated with decreased attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in children.

    Berkey water filters can remove lead by at least 99.9% from drinking water.

    To Remove Arsenic From Water

    Arsenic is a natural chemical that can be present in groundwater. Arsenic ingestion can only pose health issues when a dangerous quantity of Arsenic has entered the body. After that, poisoning can lead to liver disease, cancer, coma, or even death.

    According to the World Health Organization, a non-government agency, Arsenic is one of the major causes of poisoning and death since Arsenic is naturally found in groundwater, which is the source of drinking water in some undeveloped countries in the world.

    Long-term arsenic ingestion from drinking water is highly associated with a greater risk of skin cancer. There is substantial evidence that it increases the risk for bladder, lung, kidney, liver, colon, and prostate cancers.

    Berkey filters can remove 99.9% of Arsenic from the water.

    To Remove Chromium 6 From Water

    Chromium 6, also known as hexavalent chromium, is a highly toxic compound found to cause allergic dermatitis and stomach and gastrointestinal cancer in humans and animals.

    Chromium 6 is a chemical element that contains chromium in the +6 oxidation state and is a tasteless and odorless metallic compound usually found in soil, plants, rocks, volcanic particles, and even animals.

    Further research and studies are continuously being conducted to determine the specific health risks that Chromium 6 can bring upon ingestion through drinking water. For now, Chromium 6 is identified as a human carcinogen, which means it promotes cancer formation.

    Chromium-6 could have been in your drinking water for years, even long after it’s no longer added through industrial processes.

    Using Black Berkey filters, Berkey water filter systems can remove more than 99.8% of Chromium-6.

    To Remove E. Coli From Water

    Coliform bacteria stand out among the most well-known water contamination issues in private water systems throughout the United States. A 2006 study of 450 private wells discovered coliform microorganisms in around 35 percent. And E. coli microorganisms in about 15 percent of private wells.

    Some E. coli are harmless, but one dangerous strain is called E. coli O157: H7. Suppose this kind of bacteria gets contaminated in your food or water. In that case, you will likely be very ill because it produces a dominant toxin, which can potentially cause severe diseases and life-threatening illnesses.

    Berkey filters can remove 99.9% of E. Coli and all other bacteria.

    To Remove Glyphosate From Water

    Glyphosate is a chemical found in weed killer, one of today's most widely used pesticides. Glyphosate can enter tap water through soil erosion and agricultural runoff. Besides agriculture, Glyphosate is also used in gardens, parks, roads, railways, tracks, and cemeteries.

    According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are no risks or concerns to human health from the current uses of Glyphosate. The studies conducted did not find Glyphosate to be a human carcinogen. However, data from other sources, such as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), suggest Glyphosate is a possible human carcinogen.

    The Berkey Water Filter can remove over 75% of Glyphosate, exceeding the laboratory reporting limits.

    To Remove Haloacetic Acids From Water

    Haloacetic acids (halogenated acetic acids, HAAs, or HAA5) are chemical compounds that can build up because of water treatment when water acidity and temperature are marginally high, and treatment chemicals react with organic particles or bromide. They can happen during water treatment, including chlorination, chloramination, or ozonation.

    In some studies, exposure to disinfectant byproducts, including Haloacetic acids HAA5, increased the incidence of bladder cancer.

    Berkey Filters can remove 99.9% of Haloacetic acids HAA5.

    To Remove Radium and Uranium From Water

    The radionuclides from the decay of thorium-232 and uranium-238 are extensively distributed through the earth's crust. Many of them are known as alpha emitters. It includes radon, polonium, as well as Radium.

    Studies have shown that natural alpha emitters are bone seekers in drinking water. As such, radium -226 and radium -228 can potentially produce harmful radiation doses. Exposure to high radionuclides levels can result in toxic kidney effects and an increased risk of cancer.

    Berkey filters can remove at least 98.7% of Uranium combined (pCi/L) and Radium combined (-226 & -228) from drinking water.

    To Remove Microplastics From Water

    Microplastics (microscopic plastic) are particles smaller than 5 mm in size that can be found in various places. In the global study, microplastics are found in 93% of bottled water tested.

    Microplastics have been detected in drinking water, beer, and food products, including seafood and table salt.

    The Black Berkey Filters have not been tested to remove microscopic plastic fibers. However, it suggests that contaminants much larger in size, such as plastic fibers, would be removed since the Black Berkey filters can reduce viruses down to the nanometer scale, in the tested range of 24-26 nanometers smaller than the plastic particles being found in water.

    What Is Special About Berkey Water Filter?

    Berkey filters use a combination of ionic absorption and microfiltration to capture and remove contaminants such as Arsenic, chlorine, lead, fluoride, pesticides, endocrine disruptors, PFAS, chromium 6, E. Coli, chlorine, and monochloramine, and pharmaceuticals.

     Berkey filters are designed to be portable for camping trips or even on vacation. Using a Berkey water filter can help you live healthier by removing contaminants from your water.

     Berkey water filters are made from stainless steel, easy to maintain, and last many years. These are just a few of the most important reasons why using a water filter in your home is a good idea.  And not all water filters can filter all those contaminants as Berkey Water Filter can. Berkey Filters are classified as Purifier, which performs a lot higher purification than a filter.

    Most other water filtration systems are inadequate

    because they do not remove viruses or 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.

     

    To be classified as a water purifier, a water treatment device must remove at least 99.9999% of pathogenic bacteria, reduce viruses by 99.99%, and reduce parasites and cysts by 99.9%. Black Berkey Elements test results have shown that they meet and exceed the above removal standards.

    Please review Laboratory Testing Results for what Berkey water filters remove.
