"Royal" Gravity Water Purifier 3.25 Gal - (4) Black Berkey Elements
The versatile ROYAL BERKEY system is ideal for home use and large sized families of 26 people or during emergencies. Now you can enjoy virtually the most delicious, freshest, healthiest drinking water possible for pennies a day! Berkey Water Filters are the worlds most powerful and economical personal water purification systems providing reliable and user-friendly water purification in both normal and hostile filtration environments.
Moreover, Berkey purification systems are capable of purifying 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. So powerful, this system is able to remove food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Perfect for everyday use and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available.
Berkey Filters are the ultimate in water purification and the ideal personal protection and traveling companions. Used worldwide for normal, hostile and emergency environments to provide the purest, sparkling clean water possible. For generations, health-conscious people around the world have recognized that the foundation to a healthy life and healthy body is clean, fresh drinking water. This important essential element is the basis for enjoying your longest, healthiest life. No amount of vitamins or supplements can substitute for the vital life-sustaining properties found in nourishing, healthful drinking water. It is truly the foundation of life!
Unfortunately, securing your access to good tasting, sparkling, and wholesome drinking water can be harder than you might expect. Water is often laced with chlorine, lead, high levels of harmful bacteria, and other unwanted chemicals and contaminants. Frequently these produce unpleasant tastes and odors. Even bottled water can contain these same contaminants, and moreover it is very expensive. Other filtration systems are inferior. Most do not remove pathogenic bacteria and many remove the beneficial minerals that your body needs.
Perhaps that's why Berkey water filters have long been recognized as the world's ultimate in water purification. This simple, highly effective method of using gravity was developed almost 200 years ago, yet it still produces some of the finest, most healthful drinking water available.
Proven History: The
high quality and effectiveness of the Berkey system has stood the test
of time. These systems have been used by relief organizations such as
UNICEF, the Peace Corps, Red Cross Societies Internationally,
missionaries, and relief workers in over 140 countries throughout the
world.

Concerned about Fluroide or Arsenic in your
water? A special filtering element is available for reducing Fluoride and Arsenic in your water with our PF-2
post reduction elements. |
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.
The Berkey Secret
Have you ever wondered how Berkey purification systems remove
pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites while extracting chemicals including
herbicides, pesticides, organic solvents, VOCs, detergents, cloudiness, silt,
sediment, foul tastes and odors? Or, how Berkey systems are able to
reduce heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, aluminum
and other dangerous heavy metals without removing the healthful and beneficial
minerals that your body needs?
And finally, how is this system able to
remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals
your body needs?
The unique Berkey design combines the
age-old process of micro-porous filtration coupled with modern state-of-the-art
technology and the highest quality materials to bring you the finest water
purification system available anywhere. The micro-pores within the
self-sterilizing and re-cleanable Black Berkey purification elements
are so small that pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them.
The media within the elements remove contaminants by a surface phenomenon
known as "adsorption" which results from the molecular attraction of substances
to the surface of the media. The exclusive purification elements are also
impregnated with proprietary "absorbing" media that promote IONIC "absorption"
of pollutants within the micro-porous elements.
Another reason Berkey systems are so effective in removing
contaminants from water is the extremely long "contact period". Other
filtration systems rely on water pressure that forces water molecules through
the filter elements at 60-90 PSI. These water molecules come into contact with
the filter media for a mere fraction of a second. By comparison water
molecules, passing through the "Tortuous Path" structure of the Black
Berkey purification elements, are drawn gently by gravity and stay
in contact with the media for a long period of time. This allows the filter
media to be more efficient in capturing contaminates. For example, if you were
to hurl 100 steel ball bearings at a large magnet, some would stick but most
would bounce off. However, if you were to walk over and gently place the ball
bearings on the magnet most, if not all, would adhere to the magnet.
Berkey systems fully utilize this principle.
This advanced technology was developed, refined, and proven through years
of diligent, investigative research and testing performed by water purification
specialists, researchers and engineers. The flow rate or time of exposure
through the exclusive Black Berkey purification elements has been calculated to
yield the greatest volume removal of toxic chemicals and pathogenic bacteria
found in nature and caused by pollution from industry and agriculture.
