Customer Reviews
This seems like a good product, it was shipped quickly...BUT there are absolutely NO instructions for it's use
or any paperwork at all concerning this product. I am disappointed, there should be something to tell you
how to use it, how many uses it's good for, warranty, etc... But nothing,just the product in the box.
About 4 years ago I bought a Berkey Light system which is the large 2.75 gallon capacity filter. It has two filter elements in it and can filter up to 4 gallons per hour. I have municipal water at my residence so the water has a very chlorinated smell and taste. Needless to say I have filtered hundreds of gallons of water through that filter and it still produces the purest, cleanest tasting water. Naturally I was curious as to how well a unit this small would compare. I work at a high school that also has less than tasty water available, even from the drinking fountains. So I mainly keep the sport bottle there, and it has worked great. The Berkey filter element in this bottle does an amazing job. I've only used it once in a natural water source when I was kayaking, and it filtered creek water just as well. I read the info on the level of filtration it provides and feel confident and safe in drinking water that has gone through the Berkey filter. Just make sure you rinse the filter real well once you've used it in a natural source as it may have floating debris caught in the filter, which over time could clog it up. I highly recommend any Berkey product.

Product Description
This advanced technology was developed, refined, and proven through diligent, investigative research and testing performed by water purification specialists, researchers and engineers. The media within the filter element removes contaminants by a surface phenomenon known as "adsorption" which results from the molecular attraction of substances to the surface of the media. As the bottle is pressed, the source water is forced through the filter. The quality and volume of media used, determine the rate of adsorption. The flow rate or time of exposure through the filter has been calculated to yield the greatest volume removal of toxic chemicals caused by pollution from industry and agriculture. This exclusive filter element is impregnated with proprietary "absorbing" media that promotes IONIC "absorption" of pollutants within the micro-porous element, such as aluminum, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and other dangerous heavy metals. The "Tortuous Path" structure of these pores gives it its unique characteristics. The Sport Berkey® Portable Water Purifier offers a convenient and portable filtration system using medical grade technology. Note: If using a source of water that might contain extreme bacteriological or viral contamination, it is recommended that two drops of plain chlorinated bleach or iodine be added to each refill before filtering. This will kill minute pathogens such as viruses. The disinfectant will then be filtered from the water entirely removing its odor, color and taste.
