Keep Stored Water Fresh
Berkey BioFilm Drops are a copper-silver ion concentrate made for long-term water storage. Add a few drops when you fill a storage container to help keep the water fresh and the container walls free of biofilm, the slimy film that can build up over time.
The manufacturer rates water stored with the drops for up to 5 years, so you aren't emptying and refilling containers every six months.
