This filter is the old man on the block with a history dating back to the early 1800's. The British Berkefeld® Emergency and Camping Water Filter system is designed for use in situations where a reliable supply of treated drinking water is unavailable. Unbelievable as it sounds you can actually pour creek water in this filter and a short time later have clean, great tasting water. How? The pore structure of the British Berkefeld ceramic filters inside is designed to remove very fine particles and bacteria.
The British Berkefeld® Emergency and Camping Water Filter system can be used for camping or where there is no municipally treated water. The gravity feed system also works when water pressure is too low for other filters.
Takes a few minutes to assemble and can provide from 12, 24 or up to 30 gallons of safe drinking water each day. Constructed of high grade, polished stainless steel making it hygienic, durable and easy to clean. The two piece housing is portable and can be used virtually anywhere, anytime. The upper chamber is filled with water which gravity feeds through the filters into the lower chamber. An easy to turn On-Off spigot is used as the outflow tap.
The Super Sterasyl filters reduce up to 99.99% of particulates, cysts, parasites and pathogenic bacteria including but not limited to E. Coli, Cryptosporidium, Giardia and Salmonella Typhi.

- >98% down to 0.2 microns (Spectrum Labs)

making this one powerful filter system. The durable ceramic filters can be cleaned over and over with a soft brush or Scotch Brite pad and the filter media in this product contains an effective antimicrobial agent.
