Questions on Travel Berkey

  • I've had my travel berky for about six months and I love it. I had two black filters and two fluoride filters on it. I've basically been getting 100% of my water from it since I've bought it. When do I need to replace the filters?

  • Hi Anonymous -
    
    The black berkeys will last for approx 6000 gallons per set of 2, so you can probably go for at least 5 years before starting to test them with the red food coloring test to ensure they are still properly filtering for you. The PF-2 filters on the other hand must be replaced every 1000 gallons or 2 years whichever comes first. To estimate this number, simply monitor how many times per week you are re-filling the system and extrapolate your gallon usage from there. i.e. If you fill the system up 7 times per week, at 1.5 gallons each fill (travel berkey size), you are using approx 10 gallons per week.... or 520 gallons per year, etc.

  • Hi Janet -
    
    Yes, all systems (including the Travel Berkey) come with 2 sets of black berkey filters standard.

  • I like my water cold. Is there one that would fit in the fridge?
  • Hi Tonya -
    
    If you have the room, we know many customers put the travel berkey in their fridge. ou can also put the filtered water in a jug and then store that in your fridge as an alternative.

  • What is involved in installing a shower filter. I live in a high-rise condo?
  • Hi Judy -
    
    You would just install the filter in between the pipe coming out of your wall and your existing shower head. It screws onto the pipe and can easily be removed once you move out.

  • My son will soon be moving to Montana next to a national forest. Until he gets a well put in, he hopes to use water from a spring for drinking. I am concerned it may not be too safe. He plans to make his home there so will need clean drinking water for immediate and long term. What would you recommend for one person? He will be leaving in two weeks so would like to have something dependable to send with him.
  • Hi Marilyn -
    
    I would recommend the travel berkey that comes with these 2 black berkey filters standard. This should be small enough for his home, but provide him enough water throughout the day for drinking and any cooking. You also may want to get him a sport bottle so he can purify the spring water on the go while he's hiking in the forest.
    
    Thanks
