(Your absolute top priority in most survival scenarios is pure water…)
The Berkey line of water filters is one of the most trusted and time-tested water filtration systems. The simplicity and transportability of this system makes it ideal for everyday use or emergency situations. The best source for additional information is: http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/berkey_light_big_berkey_water_filter_british_berkefeld_portable_purifier.aspx ***DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR BERKEY FROM THIS PLACE, JUST GET INFO. SEE BELOW
The Berkey systems are basically divided into two types, the plastic and the stainless steel. Without a doubt, we would recommend the stainless steel for its durability, as the plastic Berkey may have a tendancy to fall over if it is getting empty. The stainless versions come in five sizes. For large families or for those who need large amounts of water, it is recommended to get either of the two largest sizes. The Imperial Berkey is the second to largest and is the most ideal size when weighing the benefits of cost, capacity, and actual size. After a disaster, you may need to depend on your Berkey for all your water needs. You can filter pond water with this system. MAKE SURE you get the black filters as the black filters filter out the HIGHEST percentage of microorganisms.
Berkey also manufactures shower filters and additional fluoride filters. BEWARE; there are look-a-likes and fakes on many websites including E-bay. Be sure that you are receiving a genuine product.
The pleasanthillgrain.com site is a reliable source for information, but our recommendation for purchase is to contact a Berkey representative that we have made many orders through. The number is (435) 835-8283
*** Web sites will tell you they will give you a free water bottle(s) and shipping. But when you compare this persons prices (even with a water bottle and shipping) this person with give you the most significant savings overall. I have checked every avenue for purchasing Berkeys. For example this person sells Imperial Berkeys and multiple filters for $100 LESS than anyone else.
