For generations, health-conscious people around the world have recognized that the foundation to a healthy life and healthy body is clean, fresh drinking water. This essential element is the basis for enjoying your longest, healthiest life.

The Berkey Light is the most advanced passive water filter available. It removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts, chemicals including herbicides, pesticides, foul tastes, odors, and reduces heavy metals. The Berkey Light is powerful enough to filter raw, untreated water from sources like lakes, streams, rivers and ponds. Made of durable Lexan, the same material used to make bullet proof glass, makes it durable, rugged, and yet attractive. Because it is transparent, there is no guess work when refilling the system. That's because the water level is always visible! The elevated base allows the Berkey Light to be used directly on the ground or situated anywhere on a flat surface. It doesn't have to be at the edge of a counter or table. The chambers and base join together to make it convenient to transport even while it is filtering water! Made in The USA! No bacteria, cysts, chemicals! No more bad taste or heavy metals! Filter Untreated water from lakes, streams or ponds! Transport it easily, while it is filtering! Made of bullet proof material Lexan!
Removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts, and parasites to non detectable levels. Removes harmful or unwanted chemicals to below detectable levels, and reduces nitrates, nitrites, and unhealthy minerals such as lead and mercury without removing the healthful and nutritional minerals your body needs!
Easy Setup and Simple Installation: The Berkey Light sets up in minutes. Simply screw in the filter elements and spigot, snap the chambers and base together and you are ready to filter!
The Berkey Light is so powerful it can be used to filter non-potable or unhealthy water in situations where electricity and water pressure are not available. For normal everyday situation or for hostile filtration environments, the Berkey Light is the most flexible and adaptable water filter available.
More Great Features of the Berkey Light
Healthy: The Berkey Light is far superior to other filters because it removes harmful pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites to non-detectable levels. It removes harmful or unwanted chemicals to below detectable levels, heavy metals and unhealthy minerals. Lead and mercury are reduced by more than 95% without removing the minerals your body needs. It's simply the most healthful, clean and delicious water available.
Convenient: The Berkey Light assembles in minutes without tools, electricity, water pressure, or plumbing. What's more, it is simple to operate and maintain.
Economical: The Berkey Light is easily one of the most economical water filtration systems you can own. Its unique design allows you to easily remove and clean the filter elements.
Powerful: The Berkey Light is so powerful it effectively removes contaminants from raw, untreated water from sources like lakes and streams. It is the ideal water filtration system to have on hand in case of an emergency or natural disaster such as blackouts, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, whenever tap water is not available.
Flexible: The Berkey Light is so convenient and easy to use, you can take it anywhere: a vacation, hunting and camping trips, college dorms, boats, RVs etc.
Elegant: The Berkey Light is made of durable Lexan, the same material used to make bullet proof glass, which is durable, rugged and yet very attractive.
Ambient: The Berkey Light's optional eight LED lamps are bright enough to provide a long-lasting low energy source of emergency light, a camping light, and a beacon for water in no or low-light conditions. What's more, the lower chamber acts like an echo chamber creating the delightful and relaxing sounds of falling rain drops. The waves reflect soothing patterns of light onto the surrounding area. These lighting effects, along with the relaxing sound of raindrops, combine to produce a very compelling atmosphere.
How to Use the Berkey Light
To use, water is poured into the upper chamber. Gravity draws this water through the exclusive Black Berkey filter elements. Contaminants are captured on and within the micro-porous filter element and are separated from the water. Each durable and efficient elements can be cleaned with a toothbrush and last for up to 2,000 gallons. What's more, the unique Black Berkey filter elements are self -sterilizing. The filtered water then collects in the lower chamber where it can be drawn through the spigot.
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 solves this problem with its transparent design. The user is able to see the water level in both chambers at all times.
The system is joined together during use allowing the Berkey Light to be moved while it is filtering. This can be important when the Berkey Light is used in an area for food preparation and later needed in a dining area. The system can also be disjoined for cleaning, maintenance and transport etc.
Berkey Light
The base has an optional eight lamp LED lighting system. This allows optimum use during no or low light conditions. The lower chamber of the Berkey Light acts like an echo chamber creating the delightful and relaxing sound of falling rain drops. And, as the light shines through the water, the droplets of water to light up and glow. The waves reflect soothing patterns of light onto the surrounding area. These lighting effects, along with the relaxing sound of raindrops, combine to produce a very compelling night light that creates an almost mystical atmosphere.
The eight LED lamps are bright enough to provide a long lasting low energy source of emergency light, a camping light for outdoor recreational activities and a beacon for water in no or low light conditions. These are some of the reasons that the Berkey Light is the most user friendly, useful and economical gravity filtration system available.
The LED lamps can be powered by the internal rechargeable batteries(included with LED base), the power supply jack (included with LED base) which can be plugged into a standard wall outlet, the auxiliary battery attachment (optional) and the solar power attachment (optional). These can also be used to charge the internal rechargeable batteries. The flexibility of the Berkey Light allows for the rechargeable batteries to be charged in environments where electricity and batteries are not available. When electrical power is available, the power supply jack allows for continuous use. The bright LED lamps have an average life of 100,000 hours. What the Berkey Light Removes
