    Designed for travel, outdoor activities, and unexpected emergencies, the Berkey Light Water Filter is a compact, lightweight, see-through system that purifies untreated water.


    It produces a maximum flow rate of four gallons per hour. The water purifier comes with two filters and a pressure pump.

    The Berkey Light Water Filter can provide pure drinking water from almost any source. It is a compact unit that stands 26.5" (67.3 cm) tall without a base. It is made from BPA-free, shatter-proof copolyester. It contains a proprietary blend of five types of media.

    The Berkey Light system has an ergonomic design that makes it easy to use. The base raises the system, so it is easier to position a drinking glass. The system is also compatible with PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic Reduction Filters.

    Unlike other water purification systems, the Berkey Light system does not have to be connected to electricity or tools.

    The Berkey Light is a great portable water filtration system that will not break the bank. It can provide enough water for up to 20 people during an emergency.

    The Berkey Light water filter can be used in any situation, although it was originally intended as a lightweight, lower-cost, portable substitute for our bigger stainless steel items. It only weighs six pounds. The Berkey Light can hold up to 2.75 gallons of filtered water and deliver sufficient water for clusters of up to 10 to 20 people. 

    Benefits of Berkey Light

    Berkey Light is a powerful Berkey purifier system that filters untreated and treated raw water from water sources such as streams, remote lakes, and other water supplies in distant countries. The Berkey Light can resist breaks or fragments and is essentially indestructible. 

    The malleable is not factory-made with or is comprised of any Bisphenol-A. The Berkey Light filter system does not percolate filthy-tasting plasticizers into your water and will not maintain the filthy odor and taste from waterborne impurities. 

    It produces the relaxing and delightful sound of dipping raindrops as the system filters the water. The re-cleanable and self-sterilizing Black Berkey Water Filter purifies water by eliminating cysts, viruses, pathogens, and parasites.

    It also removes dangerous toxins like VOCs, pesticides, herbicides, radon222, trihalomethanes, and organic solvents. Berkey Light also lessens nitrates, sediments, mercury, and lead.

    Berkey Light is suitable for outdoor and emergency use because it requires no water pressure or electrical voltage. It can also provide pure and untainted drinking water from any water source. Berkey Light is more than a water filter; it is classified as a water purifier.

    Our microfiltration system outstrips other rivals by purifying 99.99% of bacteria and viruses — the same also happens to other contaminants such as lead and chlorine — without using tough chemicals. 

    The Berkey Light Water Filter's unique features, its light, durable and see-through, make it easier to define the quantity of water in the higher container without needing the water. It is possible to place the drinking water glass under the spigot without being placed on the edge of the counter of the outstretched base.

    The lightweight and Bisphenol A-free poly material is tremendously tough, making it hollow and fragment-proof. At a more efficient price, the Berkey Light Water purifier produces the same quality and quantity of water.

    Most Berkey Light water filter items come with two filters and two plugs and can receive four filters. The two Black Berkey Filters have a unit that is good for up to approximately 6,000 gallons of purified drinking water for about 2 centavos only. It is the most cost-effective of our larger units.

    You will get extra Black Berkey elements if you purchase a four-filter model. You can easily convert a larger system anytime if you need a higher water current rate.

    Just eliminate the provided plugs from the uppermost container and add extra filters. The Berkey Light water purifier has ample instructions and everything you need to start using and enjoying the benefits of the great-tasting purified, clear, and safe drinking water anywhere you go.

    To prolong filter life, filters of Berkey Light must be cleaned and reused. Berkey Light substitutes the necessity for buying safe, transparent, and purified drinking water in plastic bottles and lessens the effects connected with the manufacturing and disposal of plastic bottles.

    Prevention is always better than cure. So enjoy the benefits of the Berkey Light water filter so you can live a healthy life to the fullest.

    Third Berkey

    We have 2 Berkeys in our home & 1 Berkey in a guest house. Very Satisfied with Berkey. PROOF: The filter in our year-old refrigerator recently went bad & now there is a very disgusting taste & bad smell to the ice made from the Refrigerator Ice Maker. Our water from the Berkey is odor free & tastes very good. Since our Refrigerator Ice Maker needs a new filter, we make ice from the Berkey Dispenser water in our counter top auto ice maker. Long time Berkey owners & very satisfied.

    AMAZING!!

    My wife & I had decided to take control of our health. The first step in that journey was cleaning up our water. After extensive research we decided on the Berkey Light. We were not disappointed!! It was an amazingly easy transaction and assembly. We didn't realize that tasteless water could taste so good! Thank you for an amazing product. Thank you for assisting us to take control of our health.

    My Berkey Light

    Received ahead of scheduled arrival date. Packed like a product should be packed. Easily to assemble.
    I found that using a large syringe( used for flushing out air lines) worked great for priming the filters quickly.
    I have well water, so after it is filtered it’s odorless. I now drink water from the Berkey not from bottled water.
    I’m very satisfied with my purchase, time will tell. I hope the spicket holds up

    So Far So Good

    My daughter talked me into getting the Berkey. She has one and I could get rid of one use plastic bottles.
    So far I am very happy with it. I can see the water level and it’s easy to refill. Also enjoy the water. It makes great iced tea.

    All other water tastes weird now

    Seriously. Even bottled water that we used to rely on for our daily needs no longer tastes good. Only the Berkey purifier tastes good, and we looove it! It was easy to assemble works like a dream, and even though we ordered right before the Covid mess resulting in major delays, the customer service was great and very patient with my emails. When our family gets bigger we'll definitely upgrade to a larger Berkey, but I really love this model for now!
