The Big Berkey is the perfect water filter system for RVers because it is gravity fed and does not require water pressure or electricity to operate. This is the same system used by the Red Cross when going into areas with non-drinkable water. Pour water into the top chamber and enjoy the cleanest drinking water possible from the bottom chamber. The 2 filters included will filter 6,000 gallons of water. If you use 2 gallons per day, this is 8 years of use before the filters need to be changed. The Big Berkey comes with the following: * 2 Black Berkey® Purification Elements * Upper and lower stainless steel chambers * 1 stainless steel lid and handle * 1 spigot * Rubber gasket to protect the base * 2 wingnuts * 2 washers * 1 priming button * 2 blocking plugs * TechnoRV Learning Series
* Height: 19.25" without lid handle; 20.25" with lid handle * Diameter: 8.5" * Weight: 7 lbs empty * Maximum number of filters: 4 Black Berkey (2 included) and 4 Fluoride and Arsenic (sold separately) * Maximum Filtration Flow Rate: 3.5 gallons (13.3 liters) per hour when using the included two Black Berkey Elements; 7.0 gallons (26.5 liters) when using four Black Berkey Elements * Common contaminants removed 99.9% - 99.9999% from water: Viruses; Pathogenic Bacteria such as E. Coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and more; Chlorine; Pesticides; Sediment; Detergents; Heavy Metals; Pharmaceuticals such as Acetaminophen, Caffeine, Ibuprofen, Naproxen Sodium, Progesterone, and more; Petroleum Contaminants such as Gasoline, Diesel, Crude Oil, Kerosene, and more; Fluoride and Arsenic (with the use of additional fluoride filters) * Warranty: 1 year
* Constructed of highly polished AISI 304 stainless steel * Storage capacity of 2.25 gallons * Includes 2 Black Berkey® Purification Elements which are rated for 3,000 gallons each, but can be expanded to 4 Elements, allowing for quicker filtering * Filters 99.9% to 99.9999% of viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, chlorine, pesticides, and more * Ideal for small to medium families, and perfect for a home or RV when traveling * Upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport, standing only 13" in height * Works with up to 4 of the optional Berkey PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic Reduction Elements * Comes with a 1-year warranty * Due to State regulations, Berkey cannot be sold in the state of California and Iowa.
The Fluoride and Arsenic filters are optional, and the pair need to be replaced after 1,000 gallons of use.
One pair of the Black Berkey Charcoal Elements can filter over 6,000 gallons of water before needing to be replaced. That is almost 8 years of filtering if you drink 2 gallons per day! The Fluoride and Arsenic Filters can filter 1,000 gallons of water before needing to be replaced.
The Berkey removes 99.9% - 99.9999% of the following common contaminants from water and more: Viruses; Pathogenic Bacteria such as E. Coli, Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and more; Chlorine; Pesticides; Sediment; Detergents; Heavy Metals; Pharmaceuticals such as Acetaminophen, Caffeine, Ibuprofen, Naproxen Sodium, Progesterone, and more; Petroleum Contaminants such as Gasoline, Diesel, Crude Oil, Kerosene, and more; Fluoride and Arsenic (with the use of additional fluoride filters)
The Black Berkey® Elements are designed to remove heavy metals, but will not remove mineral salts, which are added by a water softener. The salt used to soften water will not be extracted by the Black Berkey® Element. You can use one of our filtration systems on a regular basis by bypassing your water softener to get your drinking water. Most water softeners have a bypass valve or way to get water before it passes through your softener. Therefore, we highly recommend that you obtain pre-softened water directly from the source rather than run softened water through your Black Berkey® Elements.
The Travel Berkey can hold 2 Black Berkey Elements and 2 Fluoride Filters, and comes with 2 Black Berkey Elements. The Big Berkey can hold 4 Black Berkey Elements and 4 Fluoride filters, and comes with 2 Black Berkey Elements. You can add 2 more Black Berkey Elements to increase the flow rate. If you add Fluoride filters, you must have the same number of Black Berkey Elements installed as well.
The Travel Berkey has a flow rate of 2.75 gallons (10.4 liters) per hour, and the Big Berkey has a flow rate of 3.5 gallons (13.3 liters) per hour when using the included two Black Berkey Elements; 7.0 gallons (26.5 liters) when using four Black Berkey Elements
No, the Berkey cannister is simple to setup. The filters will need to be primed before use and the system comes with a priming button and video directions through the TechnoRV Learning Series.
