This is a one hole system. Click on the inset picture to the left to see the Black Berkey element with the optional PF2 element screwed onto the stem. These elements are the heart of the purifier. All of the systems can be used with or without the PF2 elements. Ceramic elements use the PF4 elements.

The Go Berkey Kit is designed for backpacking, hiking, camping, college students, world travel, on your desk at work or hundreds of other activities. The generic Sport Berkey portable water purifier bottle is perfect for when you are out on the trail and the Go Berkey system works great for passive purification back at the campsite, or hotel. The Generic Sport Berkey portable water purifier bottle can also be used to prime the Black Berkey purification element when water pressure isn't available.

As with all our water purification systems, the Go Berkey Kit is a must during unexpected emergencies. This powerful system purifies both treated water and untreated raw water from such sources as remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries, where regulations may be substandard at best. Perfect for outdoor activities and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water are not be available.

The Go Berkey system removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites entirely and extracts harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, organic solvents, radon 222 and trihalomethanes. It also reduces unhealthy heavy metals such as lead and mercury. This system is so powerful it can remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can duplicate this performance.

Constructed of highly polished AISI 304 stainless steel the Go Berkey Kit comes complete with one Black Berkey purification element, one generic Sport Berkey portable water purifier bottle and a vinyl carry case. This system has a storage capacity of about 1 quart and when in use it stands 14” in height with a diameter of 4”. The upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only 10” in height. Weighing 2.4 pounds the Go Berkey Kit is lightweight, easily transportable.

Configured with one Black Berkey purification element, the system will purify up to 1 Gallon per hour. That's 24 gallons per day if the system is refilled continuously. This is a one hole tank.

WHY BERKEY WATER PURIFIERS? Bottled water is notorious for being on the list of "what not to do" for the planet. Future civilizations will look back on our time and wonder in disbelief why we pumped water out of one part of the planet, encased it in plastic and burned up many nonrenewable resources to bring it to another part of the planet for people to drink when they had the means to clean their own water where they lived. A Berkey water purifier from ShaneShop.net gives you the means to easily clean your own water, as well as be prepared for an emergency that shuts down the water utility. Simply set the thing on the counter or table, pour water in the top and it comes out clean and fresh. No plug ins, no batteries, no pumps, no hassle. The Berkey system cleans water for less money than you can buy bottled water. No more lugging water from the store into the house. No more plastic in the landfill from millions of water bottles. One $99.00 set of Black Berkey elements can clean 6000 gallons of water right there in your home. It is cheaper in the long run. If you don't believe that, figure up how much 6000 gallons of your favorite bottled water will cost you. The Berkey cleaned water will be cleaner than bottled water. It will be fresher than the bottled water. And you will not be filling up the landfill with plastic bottles and caps. You will not be requiring semi trucks to haul the bottled water to the store which will reduce air pollution. Maybe you are going camping or preparing for an emergency situation and want to be able to make your water safe to drink. Maybe you want your treated tap water to taste better and be free of treatment chemicals, health threatening pollutions, hard to kill parasites and organisms like cryptosporidium and toxins that water treatment plants can sometimes miss. Maybe you have an illness like chronic fatigue syndrome that makes you unable to tolerate the chemicals found in your tap water. Either way, the Berkey Water Purifiers using the Black Berkey elements will do the job. And if you add on a set of PF2 elements to the bottom of the Black Berkey elements, you will have one very powerful water purification system that does not use electricity, batteries and does not rely on the water company to be operational. No household should be without a Berkey Water purification system. There is just no excuse not to have one.

ABOUT VIRUSES- The Black Berkey element will stop the viruses known as MS2 and FR coliphage. Viruses are crazy critters that can cause us plenty of suffering. Generally, in order to have viruses in your water, you would be going out and getting that water from some pretty nasty sources. You probly wouldn't get water from nasty sources and run it through your Berkey water system unless you were desperate for water in a disaster situation. The Berkey system does not claim to viruses stop outside of the two mentioned above. The reason viruses are harder to stop than bacteria, parasites, or things like crypto is because viruses are much smaller and able to slip through some extremely dense elements. The best way to stop a virus in water is to kill it with heat or chemicals, or zap it with a UV light like the Aquastar Plus we sell, in order to kill its reproductive DNA. Chlorine will kill viruses in water. But chlorine can take up to 4 hours to kill crypto. The Berkey system stops crypto because crypto is bigger in size than viruses, but chlorine or UV light does nothing to take out sediment and chemical pollution the way a Berkey water system does. The Berkey system is good at cleaning up your city, well or rain water. In an emergency situation where you might get your water from virus contaminated sources, the Berkey system is a powerful tool in your safe water arsenal along with other tools. If you suspect viruses in your water you can use chemical treatment, heat or an ultra violet light and then use the Berkey system to rid the water of all the other nasty stuff you do not want to drink. Black Berkey purification and British Berkefeld filtration systems are an integral part of an ideal solution for treating contaminated water supplies. The accepted standard for using chlorine to kill waterborne viruses is by adding 8 drops of straight chlorine bleach (unscented) to 1 gallon of water. For good measure the recommendation is often made to use 16 drops per gallon and then let stand for about 1 hour. Much of the chlorine will vaporize. But what if you don't want to drink what is left of that chlorine? Black Berkey elements remove the chlorine from the treated water after the chlorine has completely killed any viruses present. You're left with only what you want...clean, safe, great tasting water.

Why make your body contend with pollution found in the water you drink and the air you breathe? Remove the pollution first.
