GO Berkey Kit w/ Black Primer and Water Bottle

This Berkey water filter is great! It's the perfect size for camping or for my prepper bag. I totally understand the limitations in that it cannot accept the white filter, too. That would be my only negative, if I had one. This is great. I am very tempted to get 2 more -- one for my emergency bag and one for my office desk. I love the bag that comes with it to make it easily packable and portable. It will need to be refilled several times per day, but that's perfect for someone on the go or for when you're just relaxing/camping and have all the time in the world.

Excellent product! The whole family uses it.

GoBerkey

I have used Berkey for years at home. Recently ordered the GoBerkey for traveling. It is much smaller than anticipated & will take several refills to obtain enough water for myself & pets per day. I am also disappointed that arsenic & fluoride aren't filtered out but understand it is too small for both filters. With that said, I still will not drink unfiltered water so my GoBerkey gets 4 stars & a thumbs up.

Smaller than I expected

The travel Berkey was quite a bit smaller than I expected but it turns out to work just fine.

The Berkey

Should have done this years ago! I love both of these units. I have well water, that is all that I drink. The Travel Berkey is just enough for me. If it becomes necessary to use my Bug Out Berkey it will be my go filter in the field.

Perfect!

I purchased the Berkeley Go specifically for an upcoming trip but decided to try it out early. We used it for 2 people and a dog 9 days straight and it conveinantly provided the water we needed. We now leave to California in a couple days and I have no doubt it will be sufficient to adequately provide for all our water needs.
