Why
is Berkey the Best Filtration System?
|
British
Berkefeld® name is the preferred choice for water purification
products in worldwide locations where outbreaks of illness are
associated with unreliable water supplies. British Berkefeld®
is the water filter that has truly stood the test of time.
The
ceramic filters used in Berkey systems are based on a creation
by Henry Doulton in 1827 which removed bacteria from drinking
water. Queen Victoria commissioned Henry to produce a water filter
for the Royal household. His Research and Development department
created micro porous ceramic cartridges capable of removing bacteria
with better than 99% efficiency. These ceramics are used in British
Berkefeld® gravity filters and are in use in over 150 countries.
