    Fluoride-Free Water Even If There’s NO Electricity: We Chose the Berkey

    Fluoride-Free Water Even If There's NO Electricity: We Chose the Berkey. The Berkey water filter

    Updated 8/19

    Did you know that fluoride can damage fertility, destroy bones, causes hyperactivity and lower IQ in children?

    Researching to write Fluoride: Not About Kid’s Teeth, But Getting Rid Of Hazardous Waste At A Profit! opened my eyes to the sad truth.

    Clean water is often regarded as the most important nutrient for life. Most people can survive no more than 7 days without it, but are you drinking pure water?

    The Berkey water filter is what we have chosen to remove the toxic chemical pollution now common in most of our country’s water supply and many wells.

    We Also Want to Be Prepared in an Emergency with No Electricity!

    I don’t mind admitting I think about being prepared for emergencies.

    The general rule of thumb is to store one gallon of water per person per day. In an emergency situation, you should drink two quarts (half a gallon) of water a day – more if you’re in a hot climate, sick, pregnant, or a child. The other half gallon can then be used for hygiene (thanks in advance).

    You can run rain, pool or even stream water through your Berkey filters and still have pure, uncontaminated water to drink if the electrical grid is down for a length of time.

    We searched and read lots of material over the years to find the best all-round performance available.

    Berkey Water Filtration

    This powerful system purifies both treated water and untreated raw water from such sources as remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries, where regulations may be substandard at best.

    Perfect for everyday use, outdoor activities, and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure, or treated water may not be available.

    The Berkey® system removes all of this without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can duplicate this performance.

    For some people, all this sounds too good to be true, but here are third party lab results for effectiveness of Berkey filters.

    Now we have a sight tube for no guesswork when filling

    Constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel, all the different sized systems comes complete with two purification elements and utilize the latest technological advances.

    Royal Berkey & Big Berkey

    The Royal Berkey system has a storage capacity of about 3.25 gallons (12.3 liters) and when in use it stands 23″ in height with a diameter of 9.5″. The upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only 15.25″ in height.

    Configured with two Black Berkey® purification elements the system will purify up to 4  gallons (15.1 liters) per hour. This system can be expanded to use four purification elements to produce twice as much per hour.

    We use the Big Berkey Filter in our home. This is the best price I know for the Big Berkey and filters. Includes Free shipping.

    The Smaller Travel Berkey

    The Travel Berkey system is slightly smaller for families with 2-4 people.

    This is the BEST PRICE I know including the fluoride and regular filters. Free Shipping. It filters 2.75 gallons per hour.

    Here’s a GOOD QUESTION! If Black Berkey filters remove 99.9% of the fluoride, then read here to find out why I should I add the fluoride filters, too! 

    We do keep extra filters on hand because having the ability to have clean water is your #1 emergency need.

    The Black Berkey filters are re-cleanable with a Scotch Brite pad, and so can be used over and over until flow slows markedly. We have done this many times using a brand new Scotch Brite pad. The 2 filters will generally need replacing every 24-36 months depending on volume.

    Minerals are not stripped out of the water, but the pollutants are.

    If electrical grid is down,  just fill with pool, stream, or rain water

    I keep our Berkey right beside a small secondary kitchen sink (with the spigot over the sink to catch drips) for easy access to the faucet when filling.

    Sight-Tube

    Note: Because you can not see the water level in the lower tank, Berkey started making a sight-tube available to prevent accidental overfilling. We love it…no guessing how much water to add!

    Tested and Accredited

    The Berkey™ Filter element has been tested by accredited laboratories to exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol; Tested by the University of Phoenix Spectrum Labs, the Department of Toxicology and Environmental Science Louisiana University. Accreditation and/or certification by ISO 9002 Quality Standard, National Sanitation Foundation standards 42 and 53, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Water Quality Association, Department of Health (Toronto, Canada), Spectrum Labs (Minneapolis, USA), Water Research Council (UK), British 5750 Quality Standard, England’s Water Research council (WRc) Performance Standards, California Department of Health.

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
