INFO NEW LOGO: since April 2022, a new simplified logo has been stamped on Berkey® tanks. This is in line with the manufacturer's desire to simplify the brand. The new models have been introduced randomly into current stock.

The Travel Berkey® water filter is the perfect system for optimal space-saving. Its compact transport size also makes it ideal for weekend getaways and vacations. Don't be fooled by its small size; it is just as effective as all other water purifiers in the range.

It is also perfectly compatible for domestic use, taking up minimal space. It will provide a small family or a couple with pure water for drinking and cooking.

Just pour water into the system's upper tank and easily dispense pure water using the lower tank's tap.

Two Black Berkey® filters are included with your system, they can purify up to 22,700 liters of water. To calculate the lifespan of your Black Berkey® filters, check our FAQ.
The Travel Berkey® can hold only 2 Black Berkey® filters and 2 PF-2 filters if you decide to add them. You can order additional filters to have them on hand.

If you wish to filter reclaimed water (well, rain, borehole...), we invite you to read the useful recommendations.
If a softener is installed on your home's network, please read this topic from our FAQ.

The volume of each model refers to the capacity of the lower tank. The upper tank is smaller because of the volume of the filters (approximately 1 litre per pair). As a result, the advertised volume corresponds to the quantity of filtered water that can be stored in the lower tank. Find out more...

*Flow rate is calculated with the upper tank full. The flow rate decreases as the water level drops.

Available options

The addition of PF-2 filters™, enhances the degree of water filtration by absorbing the following unwanted elements:
Fluoride
Arsenic V and pre-oxidised Arsenic III
Other residual heavy metal ions

As many PF-2™ filters as Black Berkey™ filters should be fitted. PF-2 filters are screwed onto the Black Berkey® filters on the lower tank side. There is therefore no need for additional holes. The water is filtered first by the Black Berkey® and then by the PF-2

There is still a little water in the chambers of my Berkey® water purifier. Is this normal?

Yes, it is entirely normal for 1 to 2.5 cm of water to remain in the upper and lower chambers. For water to be filtered, it must pass through very fine micropores in the filters. The lower the water level in the upper chamber, the lower the pressure available to force the water through the micropores. You may have noticed that the filtration rate is much faster when the upper chamber is full than when it is half empty. This is because there is more pressure. The only way to remedy this would be to enlarge the pores of the filter elements, which would reduce the effectiveness of the Berkey purification system. During each cycle, the residual water from the previous cycle mixes with the water from the current cycle and is then purified. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the excess water during normal use. However, if you stop using your filter for an extended period, such as during a vacation, it is best to empty both chambers and let them dry completely.

Regarding the lower chamber, the spigot cannot technically be positioned at the bottom of the tank for sealing reasons. Don't worry; this is not stagnant water as it will mix again and again during successive filtrations.
