This advanced technology was developed, refined, and proven through diligent, investigative research and testing performed by water purification specialists, researchers and engineers. The media within the filter element removes contaminants by a surface phenomenon known as “adsorption” which results from the molecular attraction of substances to the surface of the media. As the bottle is pressed, the source water is forced through the filter. The quality and volume of media used, determine the

Like the Product, Great Customer Service,
I was familiar with the Berkey name as the filter of choice when I lived in the jungle in Hawaii with rainwater catchment (and leptospirosis and giardia risk). So it seemed a good choice for my current situation of regular camping trips and also town errands with chlorinated city water.
The customer service on this item was overwhelmingly positive. It arrived fast and well-packaged. I didn’t suffer from the lack of instructions that another reviewer mentioned: there was a printed page with a lot of information. They even included a free replacement filter because the shipping to Alaska (which is set by Amazon) was so very high.
For me, it works great. My only concern is that the bottle is a fairly flexible, squeezable plastic and I hope that it’s not the leaching kind.
The lid/stopper doesn’t leak water: the straw that you drink through is flexible and tucks away into the lid. For my husband, it comes through too slowly – I like to sip, he likes to gulp. So depending on your drinking pace, you may not like this as well as I do!

|Berkey is the best,
About 4 years ago I bought a Berkey Light system which is the large 2.75 gallon capacity filter. It has two filter elements in it and can filter up to 4 gallons per hour. I have municipal water at my residence so the water has a very chlorinated smell and taste. Needless to say I have filtered hundreds of gallons of water through that filter and it still produces the purest, cleanest tasting water. Naturally I was curious as to how well a unit this small would compare. I work at a high school that also has less than tasty water available, even from the drinking fountains. So I mainly keep the sport bottle there, and it has worked great. The Berkey filter element in this bottle does an amazing job. I’ve only used it once in a natural water source when I was kayaking, and it filtered creek water just as well. I read the info on the level of filtration it provides and feel confident and safe in drinking water that has gone through the Berkey filter. Just make sure you rinse the filter real well once you’ve used it in a natural source as it may have floating debris caught in the filter, which over time could clog it up. I highly recommend any Berkey product.

|the ideal travel water bottle,
The Sport Berkey portable water bottle came free when I purchased a counter top system for my kitchen. I have used it for 6 months with municipal water from work, 5 days a week. It is awesome! The water taste great every time, no chlorine taste ever! The only place I have found on care and use of the water bottle is […]”Fill the Sport Berkey Portable Water Purifier with water, screw on cap and tighten securely to eliminate leaks. Flush water through filter by pulling down lever, so that straw is exposed, and squeeze water thru filter & out the straw. Repeat this flushing process twice before drinking. This removes excess process dust from the filter. After 2 flushes, rinse the bottle & cap. Your filter bottle is now ready to use. Enjoy!” I only wish I’d had these instructions when I started using the bottle. According to this website it last thru 160 refills from ANY source. A very GREEN way to drink filtered water, instead of disposable water bottles. Get the Sport Berkey water bottle, you’ll be glad you did!
