- Heavily contaminated water would result in shorter filter element use, i.e. swamp water, filthy river water or heavily chlorinated* water.
- Filtering cleaner water, such as clear lake or stream water, snow or rain results in longer filter use.
Many Berkey filter buyers will purchase one or more sets of spare filter elements, in case one of the durable filter elements accidentally becomes damaged or in case of an emergency when they are unable to purchase another set at some point in the future.
Friendly to the Environment and your wallet
The Crown Berkey can help you reduce you carbon footprint by eliminating the need for bottled water, a wasteful and environmentally unfriendly solution. 1.5 million tons of oil were used to produce the plastic bottles used each year. These bottles contain a ridiculously small amount of an exorbitantly priced commodity – water – 85% of those bottles end up in landfills. Add to that the Berkey water purifier uses no electricity.
