A Berkey Water Purifier is like a piece of history. The company that makes these filters has been around for about 200 years. The filters are famous all over the world and work in all kinds of really hostile environments. They work on your kitchen countertop too and here's why...
Clean water is mighty scarce in many parts of the world. Polluted water is more than a nuisance in many places. It's life-threatening. It's pollution of all kinds and it's hard to find one filter that can deal with every form of pollution. These filters can deal with hard-shelled parasites as well as dangerous bacteria. That's what relief workers and missionaries often face, as well as the people they assist.
What about chemicals? MTBE is a gasoline additive. It damages kidneys and livers if you drink it. Problem is... it's very water soluble so it's almost impossible to get it out of water. Enter the Black Berkey Filters. They get out the MTBE.
The great thing about any Berkey filter is they are so easy to use. See they are gravity filtration systems. Just pour water in the top cannister and the water flows through the famous filters to the bottom chamber and you get pure water from a spout. Easy as that.
The other thing is the filters are so cheap to use. Elements are cleanable and last for thousands of gallons. They are easy to replace and you can make pure water for just pennies a gallon.
The model you want mostly just depends on how many people will need water. Different models can make more or less water in a day.
These filters can get out most kinds of water pollution and make water taste good at the same time.
