The versatile Big Berkey® system
is the ideal system for use at home with small or medium sized families,
travel, outdoor activities or during unexpected emergencies.
This powerful system purifies 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. Perfect for everyday use,
outdoor activities and a must in hostile environments where electricity,
water pressure or treated water may not be available.
This unit can be used
with 2 or 4 ceramic filters
and the new Black Berkey purification elements.
The Big Berkey® system
removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites entirely and extracts
harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, organic
solvents, radon 222 and trihalomethanes. It also reduces nitrates,
nitrites and unhealthy minerals such as lead and mercury. This system is
so powerful it can remove red food coloring from water without removing
the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can
duplicate this performance.
Constructed of highly polished 304
stainless steel, the system comes complete with two purification
elements and utilizes the latest technological advances. This system has
a storage capacity of about 2.25 gallons (8.5 liters) and when in use it
stands 19.25" in height with a diameter of 8.5". The upper
chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only
13" in height.
Different
sizes and capacities are also available here.

*Flow rate calculated with upper
chamber full to top. Flow rate decreases as water level declines
