As of January 1, 2010, we will suspend sales of all Berkey® water filtration and purification products in the state of California. This pertains only to Berkey® products that relate either directly or indirectly, to the filtration or purification of drinking or cooking water. Our shower filters are not affected by this change, given that their purpose is not to dispense drinking water. These products are not availabile to residents of California. We strongly recommend the part kits and BB9-2’s as it appears that we may no longer be able to ship replacement parts into California. Again, time is of the essence for California customers. Please be advised that December 22 is the last day we ship this year, therefore the window of opportunity is closing quickly.

The Berkey Light® System is the newest development in Berkey water purification. Perfect water purifier for inside or outside use. The included filters will filter thousands of gallons of water before needing replaced (SEE Berkey Frequently Asked Questions) Great for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. It's shell construction is 50-mil thick Lexan® polycarbonate, the material used to make bulletproof glass and industrial safety face shields. Every Berkey Light® has a capacity of 2.75 gallons, can accept two purifying elements, and comes equipped with two Black Berkey® purifying elements. The Berkey Light® purification process is gravity driven, requiring no electricity or water pressure. This makes Berkey® systems completely and easily portable. Filters up to 4.25 gallons/hour. The 2 included filter elements will purify up to 6000 gallons of water. Replacement filters are only $99 for 2.

Standard Berkey Light® Model: The standard Berkey Light® is non-illuminated. Its Lexan® polycarbonate shell is incredibly tough, yet lightweight compared to similarly sized purifiers made of other materials.

Unequalled Effectiveness:

Berkey® purifiers using the Black Berkey® purification elements are proven to reduce pathogenic bacteria (including E. Coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Giardia and Cryptosporidium) by 99.99999%. The Berkey Light® System has been tested with the highest pathogenic contamination levels that can be produced in a laboratory. When contamination levels exceed one billion pathogens per liter of water (10,000 times the density of contamination used in the standard test protocol for bacteriological removal) they're classified as "TNTC" (too numerous to count.) Under normal testing protocol, one pathogenic organism is tested at a time, each with a fresh purifying element. For this test, however, the laboratory was directed to combine three separate pathogenic TNTC cultures. Tested under this extreme contamination level, absolutely no pathogens were able to make it through the purification elements. The laboratory then incubated the water, and nothing grew. When the filtered water was viewed under an electron microscope not even in-viable (dead) microbes were detectable — nothing was present but pure H2O. Furthermore, contaminants reduced to below-detectable-limits include Trihalomethanes, Radon 222, and volatile organic compounds including Benzene, 2,4-D, Heptachlor, MTBE, Styrene, Tetrachloroethylene and Toulene, among many others.
