The Berkey Light, is designed for everyday use and is ideal in situations where a reliable supply of treated drinking water becomes unavailable. (See the Berkey Water Filter Comparison Chart for how this model compares to the other Berkey Water Filters.)
This elegant system is constructed of transparent a BPA-Free copolyester, making it lightweight, durable, and easy to clean and refill. The upper chamber of the two piece berkey light housing is filled with water which gravity feeds through the filters into the lower chamber.
The 2 included black berkey filter elements have micro-pores so small that harmful pathogenic bacteria cannot pass through them (such as E-coli, Cholera Salmonella Typhi, Giardia and Cryptosporidium). The filters also remove and reduce unwanted chemicals such as Chlorine, lead, rust, sediment, pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents, VOC’s, SOC’s, Trihalomethanes, and foul tastes and odors. The included durable and efficient water filters, called Black Berkey, last for up to 3,000 gallons each and can be cleaned as needed with a toothbrush.
Often it is desirable to refill the upper chamber while some of the water from the previous cycle remains in the lower chamber. With non-transparent or opaque systems the upper chamber must be removed from the lower chamber. This is inconvenient and messy because water continues to drip from the filter elements as the user checks for water levels in the lower chamber. This is especially difficult in no or low light conditions. If the user does not check the water level there is a risk that the upper chamber will be overfilled and later cause the lower chamber to overflow. The Berkey Light Water Filter System solves this problem with its transparent design. The user is able to see the water level in both chambers at all times.
