Berkey Water Filtration Systems

Berkey Water Filtration Systems



Many of you have asked how to filter water, without boiling it. The Black Berkey Elements are water purifiers! Here you will find out what I use and how well they work for me. Quick comment, I was asked by a sub, whether the filters needed to be primed? Yes ABSOLUTELY, they come with a rubber gasket that is tan in color, to do the job before you use them for the first time in the Berkey.

From a filtration perspective, the Black Berkey’s filter out the same chemicals and contaminants that the Super Sterasyl Ceramic Filters do, but go above and beyond by removing Lead, MTBE’s, and other heavy metals. In addition, since the Black Berkey’s are water purifiers, they filter out bacteria to a 99.99999% level and viruses to a 99.9999% level. The black Berkeys also filter out Chlorine to undetectable levels, while the ceramic will only remove 90%.

Black Berkeys last approx 6000 gallons per set of 2

Note: My mistake the larger of the two Berkeys I have shown is the Imperial Berkey NOT the Crown Berkey.

DIY Emergency 5 Gallon Water Filter / Filtration System for $35 SHTF Bushcraft Berkey Royal Doulton

DIY Emergency 5 Gallon Water Filter / Filtration System for $35 SHTF Bushcraft Berkey Royal Doulton



This video shows how to make and use the home made Berkey type water filtration system. This one is made for less than $35 in parts and you will see that it will turn the nastiest of Oklahoma water in to clean SAFE drinking water in a reasonable amount of time. This system is NOT super fast (yet…give me time) but it will clean 5 gallons of drinking water in about 24 hours (Website says 14 per day) . I believe that I may have figured out how to speed that up to 5 gallons in an hour or so, stop back and see it I make that work. This works GREAT and is SOOO much cheaper than the store bought systems that do the same thing.

Build your own off of Amazon!!! Add Air pressure and make it 4x as fast!!!
Basic Filter –
High Flow Multi Candle Filter Module –

This bucket is perfect for doing a pressurized version!
Gamma2 Vittles Vault Airtight Bucket –
Outer Mount Metal Valve Stem –

You only need 2 lbs of air pressure to make it WAY faster, this ball pump with gauge gets it done easily and is really portable! –

The life straw is a MUST for your bug out or get home bag!!

GO Berkey Water Filter Kit

GO Berkey Water Filter Kit



The GO Berkey Water Filter Kit is a good option for backpacking, bug out bag (BOB) or really any situation. The GO Berkey Water Filter Kit filters very well as it uses the vaunted Black Berkey Water Filter (Everything it filters is below). As mentioned in the video, GO Berkey Water Filter Kit has some things that could be changed to get that 100% pure solution like the Sport Berkey. The Sport Berkey has a 100% unable to contaminate solution, as the lid closes on the place where you can either squirt the water out or drink out of. The GO Berkey Water Filter Kit will do about 1 gallon an hour of purified water, which is admirable for a gravity system. Made of 304 Stainless Steel, the GO Berkey Water Filter Kit will last a very long time, if not forever if you take care of it. Berz Rating: 85/100

Shocking Water Filter Review & Comparison: Berkey, Doulton, Reverse Osmosis,  etc.

Shocking Water Filter Review & Comparison: Berkey, Doulton, Reverse Osmosis, etc.



After over two decades and $1,000 in cost buying, using and testing water filters I share my experiences and recommendations on water filters. I review the pros and cons of several water filter and purification systems including Berkey, Doulton, Reverse Osmosis, Monolithic, Just Water, Zen, and Ceramic Candle water filters. What you hear and my recommendations might just shock you.

DECEMBER 2012 UPDATE: This was a personal message sent to me, “”True story :Berkey sent my unit 2 years ago a full berkey setup for a roaving camp “near iran” snipers/SF mostly.
Used NOTHING but the berkey for 2 years. Put the most discusting water with slight radiation and horrid chemicles in it. Worked 100% every time.Sent samples to our water treatment guys….impressed the sh@@ out of them. LITERALLY we ran our berkey 24/7 .Never had one medical issue related to drinking the water. That crown is still in the field today. I am home now with a big berkey…loving it.” The moral of the story is, if you have to trust you life on your water filter working, trust a Berkey filter.

To get the lowest unadvertised pricing on any Berkey system email me at Berkey@LDSPrepper.com with “Berkey Discount Pricing” in the subject of the email.
