BIG BERKEY

The Big Berkey® stainless steel water filtration unit is a great system for home, outdoor, travel, disaster or other emergency use.  It is suitable for small to medium sized groups or families.  Berkey systems are among the strongest and most practical water filtration and purification systems currently on the market.

Perfect for outdoor activities and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available.
