Crown Berkey for More Water Needs:

Most municipal water utilities use chlorine to treat their drinking water. It is very effective in killing bacteria, easy to use, and inexpensive.

However, although chlorine is a very effective water disinfectant, it can make drinking water taste and smell unpleasant. It can also react with some organic substances in the water to form a hazardous compound.

The Water Filter that You Should Get

Our water filters provide the most effective removal of waterborne contaminants. Our products are now used all over the world. In fact, because of their efficiency in filtering drinking water, they have been set as the international standard for water filters that can be used in a clean or hostile environment.

Berkey Water Filter systems are available in several different models. Each model was designed with a specific guideline and group size in mind.

The Crown Berkey Water Filter

The Crown Berkey is the biggest water filter system available in the Berkey water filter line. This water filter is very versatile. It is ideal for serving as a water filter on your kitchen countertop, but it could also be used for on-the-go activities and even for emergency situations.

It can store up to 6 gallons or 22.7 liters of water, and for normal daily use, it can serve 6 to 12 people, but when it is fully configured, the Crown Berkey can serve 300 to 625 people.

With the Crown Berkey, you won’t need electricity or water pressure to get clean water. It uses the natural pressure of the water in the filtering system and gravity so that water can pass through the micropores of elements.

A water filter that does not depend on pressurized water or electricity is one of the most important parts of emergency preparedness.

Berkey water filters were also designed to last; they will be around long and serve you thousands of gallons of water.

The Crown Berkey water filter is also disaster-ready, so it was built to filter water at such a fast and powerful rate. However, the Berkey water filter system is versatile and flexible, and you may find a Crown Berkey a great household tool.
