Specifications for the Travel Berkey System
The 1.5 gallon Travel Berkey System comes standard with 2 Black Berkey Purification Elements, and is ideal for 1-3 people for everyday use.
Holds up to 1.5 gallons of purified water*Flow rate is calculated with the upper chamber full to top. Flow rate decreases as water level declines.
Berkey stainless steel chambers are assembled in the USA from US and imported parts. Black Berkey Purification Elements are made and assembled in the USA.

How the Berkey System Operates:
Berkey water purifiers are the most practical, user friendly and economical water purification systems available. To use, water is poured into the upper chamber. Gravity draws the water through the exclusive Black Berkey purification elements. Contaminates are captured on and within the micro-porous purification elements and are separated from the water. The purified water then collects in the lower chamber where it can be drawn through the spigot.
Berkey Black Element Filters are so powerful it can be used to purify non-potable or unhealthy water in situations where electricity and water pressure are not available. For normal everyday situations or for hostile filtration environments, the Berkey systems are the most flexible and adaptable water filter available. Berkey systems provide reliable, user friendly, powerful and economical water filtration.

About Black Berkey Purification Elements:
Black Berkey Purification Elements are more powerful than any other gravity filter element currently available. In fact, we tested the Black Berkey purification elements with more than 10,000 times the concentration of pathogens per liter than is required by standard test protocol. This concentration of pathogens is so great that the post filtered water should be expected to contain 100,000 or more pathogens per liter (99.99% reduction - the requirement for pathogenic removal). Incredibly the purification elements removed 100%. Absolutely no pathogens were cultured from the effluent or were able to be detected, even under an electron microscope, setting a new standard in water purification.
Black Berkey purification elements are so powerful, they can remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other filtration element can duplicate this performance.
The powerful Black Berkey purification elements also remove or reduce pathogenic cysts, parasites, harmful or unwanted chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, trihalomethanes, cloudiness, silt, sediment, nitrates, nitrites, heavy metals, foul tastes and odors, yet they leave in the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body needs.

No need for expensive disposable filters. Black Berkey® purification elements are cleanable. When the flow rate decreases simply brush the Black Berkey® purification elements with a ScotchBrite® pad under running water, reinstall and your system is again ready to purify water. Each durable and efficient purification element will last for up to 3,000 gallons (6,000 gallons per set of two) and provide years of efficient water purification. |
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Removed to below detectable limits | |
Alachlor | Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) |
HEAVY METALS reduced by up to 95%: | |
| CONTAMINANT | HEALTH EFFECTS |
| Lead | kidney, nervous system damage |
| Mercury | kidney, nervous system disorders |
| Aluminum | respiratory, nervous system disorders |
| Cadmium | kidney damage |

| Copper | gastro-enteric diseases |
ALSO REMOVES OR REDUCES: rust, silt, sediment, foul taste and odors. |
No need for expensive disposable filters. Black Berkey purification elements are re-cleanable. When the flow rate decreases simply brush the Black Berkey purification elements with a ScotchBrite® pad under running water, reinstall and your system is again ready to purify water. Each durable and efficient purification element will last for up to 3,000 gallons (6,000 gallons per set of two) and provide years of efficient water purification. What's more, the unique Black Berkey purification elements are self-sterilizing.The Black Berkey purification element formulation has been tested by State & EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol.
