Berkey water filters filter out more than 99.9% of chlorine, viruses, bacteria, cysts, drug residues, parasites and dangerous chemical contaminants. Heavy metals are filtered out for 95% (up to almost 100% even with fluoride and arsenic filters). This preserves the essential minerals your body needs.

The Big Berkey water filter comes with 2 original Black Berkey filter elements and can be extended to four elements. Black Berkey filter elements use the latest technological developments in water purification.

The Black Berkey filter elements have been tested by an independent laboratory according to NSF/ANSI standards 42 and 53. See the laboratory report for more details.

The unit has a capacity for about 8.5 litres of water, more than enough for most needs. You can do about 10 years with the filters, which means you'll quickly earn back the device compared to other water filters.
