Water is an important component of our daily lives, we do so many things with it, and with its presence, there are tasks and important matters that will work well and can be done.
People unaware of the possible effects of consuming contaminated water will not worry much about certain peculiarities in their taps; smell, texture, or slight discoloration are signs of contamination.
We consume water several times every day. Thus, water consumption does not only take place at home.
Sometimes, we travel out with our family, go on picnics, and go camping; when we are out, what do we have to protect ourselves from consuming contaminated water in the area?
It is advisable to have enough clean water to consume. Why would there be a need for clean water? How would it be possible?
The Importance of Clean Water
The water source is supplied or naturally exists; none are safe for immediate consumption.
Water is very important to our bodies as a hydrating agent. However, what we consume may leave sediments and substances behind.
If you think being hydrated is all that matters, you have misunderstood the real essence of water for our health.
Water is considered a cleansing agent, and we consume it to remove the toxins and unwanted substances our food leaves in our bodies.
Since it is a cleansing agent, it is expected to minimize toxins in our body, but what would happen if the water is full of toxins?
As you gulp into contaminated water, everything that goes with it will end up inside you and might cause complications and illnesses.
If you think clean water is not an issue since you have clear water, then you must know that not all harmful substances are visible; bacteria, pathogens, fecal matter, and hazardous chemicals are only a few of the many toxins that are not visible to the naked eye.
The impact of drinking contaminated water may vary from less to severe depending on several aspects: the volume of intake, level of contamination, type of contaminants, duration of consumption, and the health status and age of the person.
Water contaminants range from typical dirt to hazardous matters, including E. coli, Nitrates, total Coliforms, nitrates, bacteria, herbicides, and pesticides.
How to Diminish Water Contaminants
The popularity of waterborne diseases has existed for decades, and with all those years passed, many technologies and methods were created as possible solutions for treating contaminated water.
However, the Travel Berkey Water Filter might be useful if you aim to solve the problem with limited space, are always busy, or are out to travel.
Our Berkey Water Filters can clean 99.9% of toxins and unwanted sediments in your water. Despite being smaller, it could surpass the cleaning ability of other water filters on the market.
It is very easy to use and requires little effort when treating water. It is also portable and can be placed anywhere you desire.

More Information about the Travel Berkey Filtration System
How do you know when to change the filters?
That is the right time to change every 6000 gallons filtered by the Black Berkey Elements. However, figuring out if you have reached the 6000-gallon limit is sometimes difficult and time-consuming. So, the other way that makes this process a little bit more convenient is the Red Food Coloring Test.
What is the Red Food Coloring Test?
The Red Food Coloring Test is a standard procedure to determine whether your water filters work effectively. You can perform this test right after purchasing the product and after reaching the limit of filtered water using your chosen Berkey Water filtration system. This test only works for the Black Berkey elements, not other filter elements.
To proceed with this test, you must have an artificial Red Food Coloring that uses reds FD&C 40 and 3. There are other kinds of food coloring in the market, but this specific food coloring is the best recommended one to determine the accuracy of your Black Berkey Elements. Other food coloring products are highly safe for consumption but pass through the Berkey filters easily. So, you might think that your filters are defective, but as a matter of fact, they are not.
How do you perform the Red Food Coloring Test?
The red food coloring test is composed of simple and easy steps. Just follow the following instructions below:
- First, empty your upper or lower chamber and remove the PF-2 filters if any are installed.
- Next, place an empty and clean glass under each Black Berkey Element in the lower chamber.
- Now, fill up the upper chamber with water.
- For every gallon of water, put 1 teaspoon of red food coloring. So, if you poured 2 gallons of water, put 2 teaspoons of red food coloring.
- Leave it there for about 5-10 minutes.
- After, check and see if either of the glasses contains a red or pinkish mixture. The Black Berkey elements are working or are still okay if it is clear. If they're both, or any of the glasses have a red or pinkish mixture, then it must be both, or the respective filter element is defective (if purchased newly) or needs a replacement already (if already owned).
