The Sport Berkey Portable Water bottle is the ideal choice for a personal traveling companion -
featuring Berkey's exclusive IONIC ADSORPTION MICRO FILTRATION TECHNOLOGY.
Take hiking, bicycling, or to a restaurant to pour the water they serve you into before you consume it
to make sure there are no surprises in it.

The theory behind this innovation is simple. The Sport bottle's filter is designed to reduce or remove
many harmful contaminants from questionable sources of water, including remote streams, lakes,
stagnant ponds and sub-standard water supplies in foreign countries where regulations are non-existent
or not enforced.

This superior technology used in the  Sport Berkey portable water filter was developed, refined, and
improved through investigative laboratory testing and field research. Our team of water filter experts,
field engineers and research specialists have developed this purification process over countless hours
of testing and research. The media contained in the  water filtering element removes contaminants by the
surface phenomenon known as "adsorption" which results from the molecular attraction of molecules to
the surface of the media.

As the Sport Berkey bottle is squeezed, the water is forced through the filter. The density and quality of
media used determine the rate of adsorption. The time of exposure through the filter has been carefully
calculated to yield the greatest volume removal of toxic chemicals and pollution caused by industry and
agriculture. The exclusive filter element of this Sport Bottle is composed of our exclusive proprietary
"adsorbing" media that promotes IONIC "adsorption" of pollutants, such as cadmium, chromium, copper,
lead, aluminum, mercury, and other dangerous heavy metals.

The "Tortuous Path" structure of the Sport Berkey's filter element gives it its unique characteristics. This
filter is a true portable Water filter and uses medical grade technology to produce a convenient and portable
water filtration system.

Care and Use

Pour water into the Sport Berkey and securely tighten the cap to eliminate leaks. Pull down the loop on the
lid to extend the straw and squeeze the bottle.  This will force water through the filter and the straw. Empty
as much of the bottle as possible.  Repeat this process two times . This process flushes manufacturing dust
from the filter. After two flushes, rinse the bottle and cap. Your water bottle is now ready for use!

Maintenance and Storage of your Sport Berkey

The Sport Berkey Portable Water Filter has a storage shelf life of 50 years. When you are not going to use
the filter for a long period of time, rinse and force a prepared solution (1/4 tsp. of chlorine bleach per 1/2
gallon of fresh water) through the water bottle. Set out with the cap off and allow to air dry before re-assembling
and storing. Freezing a wet filter can damage the filter and will require replacement. This filter is not microwave
safe and is not designed to filter water hotter than 95º F.

When you shop online for a lightweight, portable water filtration system, trust Berkey
Filters’ most portable water purifier yet: Go Berkey. This product can be used for biking
or hiking or can simply follow you to the office or school. Small enough to fit in a limited
space, like a backpack, and powerful enough to clean water pulled from nearby streams,
the Go Berkey kit is optimal for emergency situations and physical activities where you
need frequent, fresh, clean water.

The Sport Berkey bottle is perfect for when you are out on the trail while the Go Berkey
system is busy purifying a batch of water back at the campsite, lodge, etc. The Sport Berkey
bottle can also be used to prime the Black Berkey Purification Element when water pressure
isn't available.

As with all our water purification systems, the Go Berkey Kit is a must during unexpected
emergencies. This powerful system purifies both treated water and untreated raw water from
such sources as remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries,
where regulations may be substandard at best. Perfect for outdoor activities and a must in hostile
environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available.

The Go Berkey system uses the highly powerful black berkey filter that removes pathogenic bacteria,
cysts and parasites entirely and extracts harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs,
organic solvents, radon 222 and trihalomethanes. It also reduces unhealthy heavy metals such as lead
and mercury. Like the other systems, this system is powerful enough to remove red food coloring
from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can
duplicate this performance.

Purified Water on the Go

Berkey is superior to many other water filter systems and bottles because it provides an
on-the-go microfiltration system that qualifies as purification system — without using harsh
chemicals. This means that it filters 99.9% of bacteria and viruses as well as other contaminants
like lead. Our filters have been tested in independent EPA-approved laboratories with amazing
results and have set a new standard for the water filter industry.

almost any source. More than just a water filter, the Berkey Light is classified as a water purifier. 
Our microfiltration system outperforms our competitors by filtering out 99.99% of viruses and 
bacteria — as well as other contaminants such as chlorine and lead — without the use of harsh 
chemicals. The Berkey Light water filter systems have features that are unique to this specific 
model of water purifier. Light and durable, the see-through container makes it easier to determine 
the amount of water in the upper container without the need to have the water-view spigot. The 
built-in elevated base makes it possible to place a drinking water glass under the spigot without 
having to place the unit on the edge of the counter. The lightweight BPA-free poly material is 
extremely durable, making it dent- and shatter-proof. The Berkey Light water purifier produces 
the same quality and quantity of water as the stainless steel models at a more economical price. 
All Berkey Light water filter units come with two filters and two plugs and have the capability to 
accept four filters. It’s the most economical of our larger units; the two Black Berkey filters that 
come with the unit are good for up to 6,000 gallons of purified drinking water, at only about 2 cents 
per gallon. If you purchase the four-filter model, you get an extra set of Black Berkey elements. 
If at any time you need a higher water flow rate, converting to a larger system is easy — simply 
remove the supplied plugs from the upper container and add the extra filters. The Berkey Light 
water filter & purifier comes with complete instructions and everything you need to start enjoying 
the benefits of great-tasting purified drinking water anywhere you go.

The Big Berkey is the most popular and versatile model. It is ideal for home use and large 
families from 4 to 16 people or during emergencies. All of our water filter systems are designed 
to provide purified drinking water for a certain amount of people. The Big Berkey water filter, in 
particular, was designed to fit the needs of the average size family.

Most of the people who purchase water filters are looking for a system to meet their needs and 
the Big Berkey is suited to produce enough water for between four and sixteen people. Large 
enough to provide ample water and still compact enough to fit in areas that bigger units would 
not. Ideally suited for home use and families or small groups. This adaptable filter comes complete 
including instructions and everything you need to start purifying your drinking water within minutes of 
assembly.

Berkey started a revolution Berkey founder Jim Sheppard had a vision of a water filter that could take 
water from virtually any outside source and produce purified drinking water. That vision all started with 
the Big Berkey water filter system. In Berkey's early years there were other water filters that could 
perform this feat, but they were small, had a very limited capacity and were mainly designed for 
backpackers. These units relied on hand pumping of the water from its source and were not practical 
for larger groups of people over an extended period of time.

Jim's vision was to produce a filter that would meet these demanding needs with filters powerful 
enough to last years without needing replaced and big enough to produce drinking water for a 
larger group.

The first Black Berkey purification elements used in all of our filtration systems were based on the idea 
of micro-filtration. This technology had long been used and the core principle was to produce a filter with 
a pore structure that was so small, that disease causing organisms could not pass through and would 
become trapped on the very outermost surface of the filtering medium. This was a simple idea that left 
very little to go wrong.

150 years ago this water filtering process was an effective way of producing drinking water. As society
 advanced so did the complexity of the water borne contaminants that polluted our lakes, streams and 
wells. We needed something more powerful, something that could remove not only bacteria but new 
threats like viruses, heavy metals and chemicals. What Jim came up with was nothing short of a revolution.

Using modern methods and advanced technology he produced a filter that had properties never before 
seen. Today all Berkey systems use the same Black Berkey purification element. This is the same filter 
that was at the heart of the original system introduced and available in only one model choice; The Big Berkey 
water filter. This amazing system reduces bacteria, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOC's) and 
trihalomethanes to purification standards and lasts thousands of gallons. Compare the abilities of our 
purification element to any produced by any water filter manufacturer in the entire world and you will see 
why Berkey is considered the world standard in portable water purification.

At Berkey Filters, we utilize advanced and powerful filters that we call our Black Berkey
filter elements. The Black Berkey filters used in all of our systems take water filtration to
a new level. During testing conducted by independent, EPA-approved laboratories, the
Black Berkey filtered out a long list of water contaminants with never-before-seen results
and significantly raised the standard for the water filter industry. As a result, Black Berkey
filters are some of the most efficient filters that are currently available on the market.

When drinking water that’s been filtered using a Berkey Black filter, you can rest assured that
your water is clean and safe for consumption. In fact, Black Berkey purifier elements are far
more powerful compared to competitors’ water filters. We tested the filters with more than
10,000 times the concentration of harmful pathogens per liter of water than is required by
industry-standard test protocols. This concentration of pathogens is so high that the water
exiting the filters should be expected to contain a concentration of 100,000 or more pathogens
per liter (99.99% reduction — the requirement in order to be classified for pathogenic removal).
 Incredibly, Berkey water filter elements removed 100% of the pathogens. After using the Black
Berkey filters, absolutely no pathogens were found in the effluent or were able to be detected.
This set a new standard, allowing us to classify all systems containing the Black Berkey filters
as purifiers. The revolutionary Berkey purifier elements are so powerful that they can remove
food coloring from water without removing any of the beneficial minerals your body needs.

The Black Berkey filter element had extensive testing at state- and EPA-accredited laboratories
and far exceed EPA and ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol. The Black Berkey filters have been tested
by the University of Phoenix, Spectrum Labs, and the Department of Toxicology and Environmental
Science at Louisiana University.

Because the versatile Black Berkey filters fit most other manufacturers’ gravity water filters, off-brand
gravity filtration systems can be upgraded to a purifier with little effort. This high-quality replacement filter
vastly improves other brands’ housings’ ability to remove unwanted water contaminants.

Each Berkey filter element has a life of 3,000 gallons: That’s an incredible 6,000 gallons for a two-filter
system (less than 2 cents per gallon of water). This is possible because of the Black Berkey filter elements’
unique ability to be cleaned up to 100 times using a 3M Scotch-Brite pad.
