Berkey Water Purifiers & Filters

The Berkey personal water filter systems are dubbed the best water filter system available. With easy-use spigots and changeable filters, the Berkey purifiers are not only mass producers of safe, drinkable water but they are super easy to use. If you need a filtration system for your home, the Big Berkey is the way to go. But if you need one for a smaller area, like your mobile home or a smaller apartment, the Travel Berkey can give you the power without taking up the space. We offer the Royal, Crown and Light versions as well for more diversity in size, style and output levels.

The mission of New Millennium Concept, Ltd. is to provide quality products worldwide that can be used on a regular basis, but by virtue of their unique characteristics, they can also be used to provide relief in the event of an unexpected emergency.

Berkey Systems are the World's Most Powerful and Economical Personal Water Purification Systems Providing Reliable and User-friendly Water Purification in Both Normal and Hostile Filtration Environments.

Moreover, Berkey 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, these systems are 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.

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/reusable 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 - absorption - 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. Not available in California or Iowa.

How the Big Berkey works

Product assembly was straightforward and simple, and all the parts in the unit worked reliably.

The Berkey Water Purification Process

Water filtration is a complex science, we try to use common terms when possible so the explanation is more understandable, if you are interested in the science behind specific water purification methods used by Berkey, please follow the links contained within this page below.

Several well known methods are used to produce the Black Berkey purification elements. These methods are combined and blended to produce a unique filter process the likes of which the world has never seen. The first line of defense is that the Berkey purification elements are composed of a formulation of more than six different media types, all constructed into a very compact matrix containing millions of microscopic pores. These pores are so minute that they produce what we refer to as a torturous path that pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, sediment and sedimentary minerals must travel through. These paths are so small that these pollutants physically cannot pass through them and become trapped eliminating them from your drinking water this is known as microfiltration.

Secondly our media formulation uses unique adsorption and absorbtion properties. Adsorption works to create an ionic barrier similar to surface tension. This barrier is perfectly suited to the micro-pourous water filter because it effectively allows the tiny pores to block water contaminants that are smaller than the pore size itself. This blocking process is how the Berkey water filter is able to remove submicron viruses that other brands of water filters cannot without the use of obnoxious chemicals like iodine or chlorine.

Next, the heavy metals ions (mineral molecules) are extracted from the water through an Ion exchange process where they are attracted to and transformed by electrically bonding to the media. Finally, because of their gravity flow nature, water molecules can take several minutes to pass through the filter elements whereas these water molecules passing through other filtration systems pass through in only fractions of a second. This longer contact time between the water molecules and the filter media, provides much greater removal rates of harmful water contaminates not obtainable through conventional pressurized water filtration methods.

As you can see, the Berkey Water Purifier incorporates several different scientific methods to produce unmatched drinking water quality. We are able to do all of this and still maintain simplicity. All that you as a Berkey user are required to do is simply pour water into the unit. All of the processes mentioned above will continue to work for you behind the scenes for many years to come. This long filter life allows you to produce purified drinking water for pennies a gallon.
