Berkey Water Filters: Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier

Quantity:

Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier bottle is the ideal personal protection traveling companion - featuring the IONIC ADSORPTION MICRO FILTRATION SYSTEM. The theory behind this innovation is simple. The bottle's filter is designed to remove and/or dramatically reduce a vast array of health-threatening contaminants from questionable sources of water, including remote lakes and streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries where regulations may be sub-standard at best.

This advanced technology was developed, refined, and proven through diligent, investigative research and testing performed by water purification specialists, researchers and engineers. The media within the filter element removes contaminants by a surface phenomenon known as "adsorption" which results from the molecular attraction of substances to the surface of the media.

As the bottle is pressed, the source water is forced through the filter. The quality and volume of media used, determine the rate of adsorption. The flow rate or time of exposure through the filter has been calculated to yield the greatest volume removal of toxic chemicals caused by pollution from industry and agriculture. This exclusive filter element is impregnated with proprietary "absorbing" media that promotes IONIC "absorption" of pollutants within the micro-porous element, such as aluminum, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and other dangerous heavy metals.

The "Tortuous Path" structure of these pores gives it its unique characteristics. The Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier offers a convenient and portable filtration system using medical grade technology.

Care and Use

Fill the Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier with water, screw on cap and tighten securely to eliminate leaks. Flush water through filter by pulling down lever, so that straw is exposed, and squeeze water through filter and out the straw. Repeat this flushing process twice before drinking. This removes excess process dust from the filter. After 2 flushes, rinse the bottle & cap. Your filter bottle is now ready for use. Enjoy!

Maintenance and Storage

The Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier has a shelf life of 50 years. When the filter system will not be used for an extended period, flush the unit with a chlorinated solution of 1/4 tsp. per one half gallon of water. Allow to dry thoroughly with bottom cap removed. Re-assemble and stow. Do not allow filter to freeze, do not place in microwave oven and do not run hot water through the filter.

  • Water From Any Source: 160 Refills
  • Municipal Water: 640 Refills

No more dependence on bottled water!
by Jason on Jul 4, 2008  [ reply ]

The water tastes great from this filter! I usually change the filters every 6 months. It's really easy to clean and change the filters. And, it's really inexpensive. I gave a couple to my in-laws and it saved them a lot of money and hassle when they were traveling in Europe. I'll be giving out a whole bunch this year for X-mas gifts. Well-made product!

My doctor told me about this water bottle and so I went out and bought it. Very pleased with it! I travel around the world to areas where you can not drink the water but since I bought this I have drank normal tap water from India, Indonesia, and Korea without getting sick.

Plastic Bottle
by Linda on Jan 5, 2010  [ reply ]

Is anyone concerned about drinking water out of a plastic bottle given that plastic outgasses and those toxins get into the water? My understanding is that even if we put purified water in a plastic bottle, it will no longer be purified when it comes out because of the contact with the plastic.

    No worries on the the plastic bottle bit. The water that is in the bottle is NOT filtered. The filtering happens as the water is emptied.
