Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier

admin — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:28:11 +0000

Around Christmas I bought a Sport Berkey portable water purifier on eBay for about $36. I had planned to use it this summer and do a revue on it. From what I have read about the Sport Berkey I really thought it would make a very nice, light-weight, inexpensive (in other words, cheap) water filter that would be relatively safe. According to the Sport Berkey people their filter will remove up to 99.9% of many health-threatening contaminants, including harmful pathogens, pesticides, detergents, Aluminum, Mercury, Radon 222, and such using something called the Ionic Adsorption Micro Filtration System. It has a shelf life of 50 years.

Then we had a situation here where the Township informed us that the water supply is contaminated with Ecoli bacteria and that we should boil any water that we wanted to drink. With that I figured now would be a good time to put the Sport Berkey to test.

In this video I am trying a test that I’ve seen where blue food dye is filtered through the Sport Berkey. It indeed does filter out the blue food dye completely.

In the video I mentioned that the bottle could be refilled 160 times from sources like streams and 640 times from Municipal water supplies. What I failed to mention is the capacity of the bottle. With the filter in place the bottle holds 22 fl oz, but I doubt that more than 16 fl oz could be gotten out of the bottle at one time.
