The compact Travel Berkey system is the perfect system for use during travel and any outdoor activities or during unexpected emergencies.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 outdoor activities and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available.

The Travel Berkey system removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites entirely and extracts harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, organic solvents, radon 222 and trihalomethanes. It also reduces rust, silt, sediment, foul taste and odors and unhealthy heavy metals such as lead and mercury. This system is so powerful it can remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can duplicate this performance.

Constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel the system comes complete with two purification elements and utilizes the latest technological advances. This system has a storage capacity of about 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) and when in use it stands 18" in height with a diameter of 7.5". The upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only 12" in height.

Configured with two Black Berkey purification elements the system will purify up to 2.5 Gallons (9.5 liters) per hour.*

* Flow rate calculated with upper chamber full to top. Flow rate decreases as water level declines.

*Lifetime warranty applies to stainless steel tanks, lid, lid knob, and plastic spigot. Lifetime warranty does not cover any filters nor any accidental damage. Black Berkey filters have a 2 year pro-rated warranty.

Black Berkey Purification Elements

Black Berkey Purification Elements are more powerful than any other gravity filter element currently available. The micro-pores within the cleanable Black Berkey purification elements are so small that pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them.

Black Berkey purification elements are so powerful, they can remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other filtration element can duplicate this performance.

The powerful Black Berkey purification elements also remove or reduce viruses, pathogenic cysts, parasites, harmful or unwanted chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, cloudiness, trihalomethanes, silt, sediment, heavy metals, foul tastes and odors, yet they leave in the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body needs.

No need for expensive disposable filters. Black Berkey purification elements are re-cleanable. When the flow rate decreases simply brush the Black Berkey purification elements with a ScotchBrite pad under running water, reinstall and your system is again ready to purify water. Each durable and efficient purification element will last for up to 3,000 gallons (6,000 gallons per set of two) and provide years of efficient water purification. What's more, the unique Black Berkey purification elements are self-sterilizing.

    Travel Berkey is the BEST!

    Posted by Mary on 13th Jul 2013

    I absolutely love this filter! I previously had a countertop unit that connected directly into the faucet, but when we moved I couldn't use it with this faucet. The Berkey is a perfect replacement and we can take it with us while camping... bonus! It doesn't take up much space on the counter and the water tastes GREAT. I ordered it with the optional PF-2 fluoride filters. Since they hang down into the bottom chamber, it ends up holding just over 1 gallon... which is fine for us. I did run about 8 cycles through before the water lost the bitter aftertaste from those filters; now it's perfect every time. Makes me feel good knowing that I'm not drinking fluoride any more. I did have problems with leaking around the spigot when first assembling it, but reversing the directions and switching the black and white washers (with the beveled side of the white washer facing the unit) fixed it immediately. Also, be SURE to prime the filters... and do it longer than the instructions suggest. I continued priming the black filters for a good minute after they were fully beaded on the outside. I put clear cups under each filter when running the red food coloring test, and even after that good long initial prime it was obvious one was running at half speed of the other. I disconnected the offending filter and primed it again, and it ran great after that. I hope these hints help, and that you enjoy your filter as much as we've been enjoying ours. Just buy it... you won't regret it!

    I love how water tastes now. These purification element+fluoride filters really makes me drink more water and i enjoy quality of it. Would recommend everyone to do that and stop drinking water with fluoride

    Great product

    Posted by Unknown on 4th May 2013

    Have been using our Berkey about a week and love it. We bought it mainly for emergencies (our well water is fine) but finding that we love the taste so much, it's a permanent fixture on our counter. Easy set-up if you read the instructions. Can't wait to try pond water through it!!

    Love it !!!!!

    Posted by Diane Palermo on 18th Mar 2013

    It's exctly what I wanted. I love the water. When I first got it I dropped the upper container on the counter while I was filling it up and broke off the end of one of the filters. Very expensive mistake. Take care when handling the upper part.

    Travel Berkey...Love It!

    Posted by Dianne on 10th Feb 2013

    Does it work? Don't really know...don't have a way to test it. Tastes great, really fresh. Use it for self, kids, pets and birds. Directions are scant especially for such an expensive item. You would think they would be a little more in-depth but figured it out. Spigot leaked at first and was kind of nervous to tighten as I thought I would break it but it was fine to tighten...just held spigot part over sink until I got it. I do get hard water stains around spigot so I hope it is filtering properly because you would think that would not happen if it was but oh well. Filters do take up a lot of space inside(have 4) so don't get the full 1 1/2 gal but seems to be enough water for us. Have a water cooler/heater so use Berkey water to fill up jugs. Filters slowly at first but gets faster with time. Fill up all the way as it doesn't work well if you don't. And tip to get the last of the water out so the filters work properly. Need to clean out every so often as it develops a film...I use vinegar water and just run some water thru afterward. All in all a good buy.

    Family of 7 using Travel Berkey

    Posted by Ruth on 11th Sep 2012

    We have been using our Travel Berkey for over 2 months now. I wanted to be well familiar with it before I wrote a review. My sourdough and water kefir cultures are thriving with the Berkey water. The whole family likes the taste, too. We are using the extra fluoride/arsenic filters. Even though we are 7, we just fill the Berkey as needed throughout the day, and we keep 2-4 quart jars filled nearby for cooking or for use when the Berkey runs out.

    Love My Water

    Posted by Olene on 17th Aug 2012

    I Love the Shiny Expensive Look, also the ease of filling it with the hose from my sink, plus the money I save from the bottled water Home Delivery Service I was using. I will recommend the Berkey to all my friends. Especially with Motor Homes would be Ideal.

    My Travel Berkey

    Posted by Kay on 13th Jul 2012

    My new Travel Berkey is just perfect for me! I plan to use it traveling as well as at home, and the size fits. At home, even with the PF-2 filters, it fits on top of my 2.5 gal ceramic water crock giving me more storage for the purified water. Delivery was so fast!
