Berkey Light™ w/ Four 9" Super Sterasyl™ Ceramic Filtration Elements and Base Without Lights - FREE SHIPPING!
NEW!
The Berkey Light™ Gravity Water Filter Without LED's The Berkey Light™ Filtration System provides reliable, user friendly, powerful yet economical water filtration. Each system comes complete with a base and four 9" super sterasyl™ ceramic filtration elements. The Berkey Light™ system is designed for everyday use as well as for use during travel, outdoor activities and during unexpected emergencies. This powerful system filters 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. Not yet available in Iowa. Not currently available in California.
Features
- The shatter resistant and virtually unbreakable Berkey Light™ system is made of a high impact strength, non BPA copolyester.
- The Berkey Light™ system does not leach foul tasting plasticizers into your water and will not retain foul tastes and odors from waterborne contaminants. As the system filters water, it produces the delightful and relaxing sound of falling raindrops.
-
The Berkey Light™ filter system removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites and reduces harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, and VOCs without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs.
The Sterasyl™ Ceramic Shell
The Sterasyl™ grade ceramic is designed to remove suspended solids and pathogenic bacteria (>99.99%). The filter elements are produced using the latest ceramic techniques to provide a hollow porous ceramic, which is fired at a temperature in excess of 1,000º C. They are designed to operate with water flow going from the outside to the inside of the element. The ceramic shell exhibits a strictly controlled pore structure, so as to provide efficient sub-micron filtration, a proven defense against hard-shelled parasites such as Cryptosporidium as well as pathogenic bacteria. The ceramic also removes other less harmful, but equally unpleasant particulate debris such as rust and dirt.
Composition of the Sterasyl ™ ceramic contains pure silver. This silver is a material designed to significantly inhibit bacteriological mitosis or grow through. The result is that bacterial growth is inhibited from occurring within the Sterasyl™ ceramic element (which is possible with the other ceramic filter elements). This silver content insures that filtered water contains levels well below those required by international standards. Because of the silver, Sterasyl™filter elements do not require sterilization after cleaning.
The Sterasyl™ filter, when used in in-line housings, is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) as meeting their Standard No 42 for materials.
The Super Sterasyl™ Water Filtration Element
The Sterasyl™ ceramic is the ceramic shell used for the Super Sterasyl™ filter element. Accordingly, this filter element will have, at a minimum, the filtration benefits of the Sterasyl™ ceramic. Additionally, the bore of the ceramic shell is filled with granular activated carbon, which enables the filter to reduce chlorine and organic chemicals while improving the color, taste, and odor of the source water. The re-cleanable Super Sterasyl™ filter elements remove suspended solids, parasites, cysts and pathogenic bacteria (>99.99%) and reduce organic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents, trihalomethanes, SOCs, VOCs and foul tastes and odors. The top of the Super Sterasyl™ element is closed with a unique ceramic dome. This prevents the possibility of breeching (leakage), which can occur with filtration elements that are closed with a plastic cap.

filters are manufactured to the following international standards and
have been tested and approved by the following independent bodies or
agencies: ISO-9000: 2000, Hyder
Labs – UK, Spectrum Labs – UK, WRc – Mednenham UK, Clare Microbiology –
UK, Loughborough University - UK, University of Arizona –
USA, Thresh, Beale, and Suckling – UK, and WRc Gwent – UK. Bacterial
mitosis and “grow-through” Mitosis is
the name for the usual method of bacterial cell division. This division
is characterized by resolving the chromatin of the cell nucleus into a
threadlike form that condenses into chromosomes, each of which
separates longitudinally into two parts, one part of each chromosome
being retained in each of the two new daughter cells. When conditions
of growth (cell division) are
right (proper environmental
conditions, temperature, pressure, etc.) and
sufficient nutrients, the “threadlike forms” can penetrate ordinary
ceramic structure and create bacterial cells on the inside of ceramic
elements. The Sterasyl™ grade
filter elements incorporate pure silver into the porous ceramic shell,
which inhibits mitosis or “grow-through”.
