EXCELLENT ARTICLE, SEE WEB PAGE BELOW FOR EVEN MORE INFORMATION.
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
Yes, This is an Emergency Water Purifier” not a “pretty one”
OK, here it is folks…although the Berkey Water Purifiers are great; what makes them great is the “Black Berkey Water Purification Elements.” That’s right…the systems are really just containers for the Purification Elements. It’s nice that they have lids and spigots etc., but in the end it is all about the purification elements.
The genuine Berkey Water Purifiers also have a much better seal between the top and bottom chambers than the homemade bucket system does. If you make your own “bucket purifier” you’ll want to use some food grade sealant or some other method to keep air-born debris from getting between the two buckets and possibly contaminating the pure water in the bottom bucket. The Best Water Purifier is still the large stainless steel system on my right on the home page (if you’re asking me ; – )
All that said; if I were on a really tight budget, or just wanted an (ugly, but practical emergency system) I would buy:
- ( 2 ) Large Food Grade Buckets (Buy at local stores or get used from restaurants or bakeries.)
- ( 1 ) Spigot, and
- ( 2 to 8 ) Black Berkey Purification Elements (The More You Buy The Cheaper They Are!)

ReplyDeleteWater and water foods are trump card for the weight loss. If you drink 3 glasses of water at morning with empty stomach, you can easily control your weight because drinking water with the empty stomach helps a lot to burn the fat. Water foods such as green tea, coffee, citrus fruits juices, and green vegetables soups are also excellent for the weight loss. I know something about this same information, to know you can click here or νisit mу website .
