Water filters
Because 7/8th of the earth is covered with water, most of which is not drinkable,
and our bodies are 70% water, we've searched for the best water filters and purifiers
available to supply our bodies' needs. Remember that while the body can survive
without
food for about 5 weeks, the body cannot survive without water for longer than 5 days.
The products on this page are our top choices.
Made in England
British Berkefeld
water
filters have been time tested for 140 years - used by thousands of missionaries around
the world. Today they are used in over 150 countries, and have been historically used
by the Red
Cross. These filters are the gravity feed / drip type. They require no pumping and do not
force the water through the filters, resulting in more complete filtering. You simply pour
your
water in, let it drip through the filter, and safe clean water then collects in the lower
chamber.
They have both ceramic and carbon elements. Each ceramic element will filter 2,600 to
15,000 gal. - depending on how much contamination, sediment, etc., is in the water you
are filtering, and how carefully you clean the filters. To clean the filters you periodically
rub with a soft brush or scotch type pad. The super sterasyl ceramic elements consist of
a fine microporous structure with fine particles of silver interspersed which prevent the
growth of bacteria. What we really like about these filters is that encased within the
ceramic is a carbon filter which removes objectionable taste and chemicals that
most other gravity filters do not. These ceramic elements form a complete barrier to all
particles larger than 0.9 microns. Filtration efficiency for particles from 0.5 to 0.8 is
greater than 99.99%. They have been tested to remove the following parasites and
bacteria:

The Epic La Natural, Terra-cotta water filter stands apart from the
other water filters we carry with its ability to cool as well as filter your water. The water is
constantly cooled by the evaporative process of its terra cotta shell. This is a definite
plus for hot weather situations where one doesn't have access to refrigeration. Also, if
you want cool water handy, without a jug taking up your refrigerator space, the
terra-cotta is the ideal solution. The Epic La Natural is a gravity type
filter. You simply fill the top chamber with water which passes through the filter to the
bottom chamber. The ceramic filtration efficiency is 0.5 micron absolute. It is silver
impregnated to prevent bacteria grow - through. The ceramic elements may be cleaned
100 or more times with a soft brush. It has an inner core of activated carbon to remove
chemical pollutants. In addition to being a carbon filter the La Natural also incorporates
absorbent medias to effectively reduce heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, zinc,
mercury and copper. | Tested by EPA certified

| Desciption | This foodproof plastic container system
consists of 2
plastic containers stacked over each other. The water is filtered by gravity through 3
ceramic elements into the bottom container. It will hold approximately 2.5 gal. each
filling. | Lower the siphon into a container of untreated water. The water drips
through the exit tube into a container at a lower elevation. The higher the elevation
between the 2 containers the better the flow rate. Nickel plated brass housing with
ceramic element. You can multiply hourly yield by using several siphon filters in
parallel. | This dual filter system combines the ceramic element with an
activated carbon filter thus reducing noxious chemicals as well as bacteria and micro-
organisms. Housing of food compatible polymer and SS. Compact and lightweight (app.
22 oz.). Great for backpacking | Compact and lightweight for backpacking etc.
