Travel Berkey 5,7L

Description

Product Features

The compact Travel Berkey is ideal for daily use by 1-2 people who use water primarily for drinking, or when space is very limited.  Use for camping, in an RV or on a boat, during emergencies, or during outdoor activities when potable water may or may not be available.  

The Travel Berkey is also a great travel companion when visiting foreign countries where water quality can be questionable. Even if you are travelling by plane, the Travel Berkey measures only 7.5” in diameter and 12” when nested for transport and you can easily pack some clothes inside the Berkey to save space in your luggage.
Constructed of highly polished AISI 304 stainless steel, this system has a storage capacity of 1.5 gallons (5.7 litres) and when in use, it stands 18” (49 cm) in height with a diameter of 7.5” (19 cm).  The upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only 12” (30.5 cm) in height.

NOTE: Stainless steel systems must be placed on the edge of a counter, or on a stool or stand, in order to fit a glass or other container under the spigot.  You may also choose to add the optional stainless steel base to your system which raises your Berkey 5” (12.7 cm) off the counter.
