The Berkey Light Water Filtering System
What’s in your water? I know the tap water where I live is full of things I’m not comfortable giving my family on a daily basis. Nitrates, chlorine, heavy metals and discarded pharmaceuticals are only a fraction of the toxins that can be found in the indoor stream that we as Americans have become so dependent on. So what are the alternatives?
You could drink well water. In some cases this is a great choice, but not one available to the average suburbanite or city dweller. Also this is never foolproof as some wells often test positive for bacteria, iron and nitrates from pasture run-off.
You could buy bottled water. This sounds great in theory, but having personally witnessed the testing of many of the more common varieties of bottled water available, I can tell you, this is probably the least effective way to get good water. Most of these are run through cheap filters if any and then sold to the consumer as "pure". The funny thing is there are few regulations set on how clean the water has to be in order to slap a label on a bottle of tap water and call it "filtered".
You could invest in a Reverse Osmosis system, more commonly referred to as an R.O. This is a fantastic choice by any standards. I’ve tested and consumed water from a good quality R.O. and was impressed. The R.O. unfortunately can be costly and it is generally a permanent or semi-permanent addition to the home. This may not be the best choice for those who want something more portable especially those who do not own their own residence or
property.
So where does that leave you? There is a product out there that is effective, inexpensive and portable. It’s a Berkey Light filtering system. This interesting product can filter even the dirtiest of water from a pond or a contaminated water source and give you back a quality, safe, clean source of water to drink from.
The Berkey filter element which is used in all of the Berkey products is rated to safely remove pathogenic bacteria and parasites like E.Coli and Giardia and inorganic compounds like chlorine to non-detectable levels; heavy metals including lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, chromium and copper to five percent or less; nitrates and nitrites from pastures and pesticides to less than 15 percent; and with the addition of an add-on PF-2 filter, you can reduce fluoride by at least 95%.
In addition to the comfort that comes from knowing I’m giving my family safe water to drink, the water also tastes great! Before I owned a Berkey, I filled gallon jugs and placed them on my counter to allow the chlorine to evaporate before consuming it. My husband thought
I was crazy and eight one-gallon jars take up a lot of counter-space. Soon after, I noticed that my husband was quite taken with this new source of tasty water. He was even more impressed when I replaced my somewhat clumsy purification system with the Berkey Light. He is, in fact so impressed with this new water source, that he often fills the reservoir more often than I do – a feat in itself!
I think that if you are concerned for the health and well-being of yourself and your loved ones, that finding a good quality source for water should be a priority. If the most important source of nourishment is poisoned, then we have little hope of accomplishing the high standards of health that everyone hopes for.
For a reasonable investment you can get yourself a great system that will filter the water in your home and not only that, but you can take it to your grandma’s house for Thanksgiving dinner or take it camping and filter the creek water. It’s an innovative way to get your
bottled water at a higher quality and at a fraction of the cost. Probably the only product out there that is better than the Berkey Light is the Big Berkey, but that is another story.
