Big Berkey Water Filter

Big Berkey Water Filter (storage capacity 8.5 liters, suitable for 1-4 persons)

The Big Berkey Water Filter is the perfect device for 2-person households, small families, for use at home or touring, whether camping or on the road with a caravan. It’s suitable for all kinds of outdoor activities and a must-have in inhospitable areas with no electricity, water pressure or sources of purified water. The Big Berkey Water Filter has been specially designed for the average usage of a 1-4 person family.

The Big Berkey Water Filter comes standard with 2 x Black Berkey Water Filter Elements. You can order additional water filter elements if you prefer. In addition, you can extend the Big Berkey with Berkey Fluoride Filters, so that you can filter fluoride, heavy metals and many of the other undesirable elements listed below, from your drinking water. The water filter elements must be rinsed with water (primers) before initial use. A handy pressure pump has been designed for this exact purpose, making this process as easy as possible for you. This works much faster and better than flushing under a tap. Order the Black Berkey Primer directly by clicking on it when you place your filter order, or simply add it to your shopping cart.

What elements do you filter out of your drinking water?

This powerful system purifies both treated and untreated water from sources such as lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water sources in third-world countries.

It also reduces the heavy metal content, such as lead, mercury, aluminum, and cadmium. This system is so powerful that it can remove red dye from the water without eliminating the beneficial minerals that your body needs.
