Berkey® Light™ 10.4 liters - 2 BLACK BERKEY® filters - Ref BL4X2-BB
The Berkey Light 10 Liter Water Purification System is designed for travel, outdoor activities, and unexpected emergencies.
The system is made of strong, impact resistant non-BPA copolyester, comes with 2 water purification elements, an attachment, and uses the latest water purification technology. The height without the supplied stand is 53 cm.
Powerful Purification Elements
The powerful Black Berkey water purification elements remove viruses, pathogenic cysts, parasites, harmful chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, cloudiness, trihalomethanes, silt, sediment, heavy metals, unpleasant tastes and odors, while retaining the beneficial and healthy minerals the body needs.
Black Berkey water filters are the most powerful gravity water filters on the market. The Black Berkey purification elements have been tested at over 10,000 times the concentration of pathogenic bacteria required by the standard testing protocol. Even at this extremely high concentration, the purification elements remove 100% of pathogenic bacteria. Not a single pathogenic bacteria could be grown from the effluent, even under an electron microscope. This sets a new standard in water purification.
Reusable Filters
No need for expensive disposable filters. Black Berkey water filters are cleanable. When flow slows, the Black Berkey water purification elements can be easily cleaned under running water with a ScotchBrite cloth. Simply replace them and the system is ready to purify water again. Each element is good for approximately 3,000 gallons of water (5,700 gallons per set of 2), which provides years of efficient water purification. For example, at a weekly water flow of 10 gallons, that’s the equivalent of 600 weeks—over 11.5 years of clean water! What makes Black Berkey water filters unique is their self-sterilizing ability.
Capacity and Throughput
The Berkey Light is suitable for 2 - 5 persons and has a storage capacity of 10.4 liters. Set up with 2 Black Berkey water filters, the system can purify 15.1 liters of water per hour. The water flow rate is calculated for a full upper tank. The flow rate decreases when the water level in the upper tank decreases. It is impossible to keep the upper tank full all the time, so the flow rates are in practice always lower than stated here.
