These
elements are used as replacment filters in the berkey light
system. Each Berkey filter element filters about 2000 gallons,
or 4000 gallons for the this 2 pack.(may vary depending water
quality)
This
powerful passive water filter element can purify raw, untreated
water from remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water
supplies in foreign countries where regulations may be sub-standard
at best. So how does the Berkey Light™ remove pathogenic
bacteria, cysts, chemicals including herbicides, pesticides,
organic solvents, PCB’s, PCE’s, VOC’s, detergents,
cloudiness, silt, sediment, foul tastes and odors? And, how
is it able to reduce heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium,
copper, lead, mercury, zinc, aluminum and other dangerous
heavy metals, as well as nitrates and nitrites without removing
the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body needs.
The
Berkey Light's™ unique design combines the age-old process
of micro-porous filtration coupled with modem state-of-the-art
technology and the highest quality materials to bring you
the finest water purification system available anywhere.

The
Berkey Light™ Filter element has been tested by State
& EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF (Std.
53) protocol.
Reasons
why the Berkey Light™ is The Ultimate Water Filter!
HEALTHY
The Berkey Light™ is far superior to ordinary water filters because
it removes harmful pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites to non
detectable levels, removes harmful or unwanted chemicals to below
detectable levels, and reduces nitrates, nitrites and unhealthy heavy
metals, such as lead and mercury, without removing the healthful and
nutritional minerals that your body needs.
ECONOMICAL
The Berkey Light™ is easily the most economical purification
system you can own. Its unique design allows you to easily remove
and clean the Black Berkey™ purification elements over and over
again.
