Berkey Water Filters
Finding potable water on extended road trips is fairly easy if you pass through developed areas. But just because water is safe to drink doesn’t mean that it tastes good. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve filled the tank in our RV only to be overwhelmed by the taste of chlorine when I pour myself a glass of water. And in backcountry locations, I often encounter water sources that look fresh, but it’s always a smart idea to filter raw water sources, no matter how pristine they look. This is where water filters from Berkey are an excellent solution. They filter out contaminants like chlorine, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, petroleum contaminants, fluoride, and bacteria (to name a few). The stainless steel components won’t leach anything harmful into your water, and a pair of filters will treat up to 6,000 gallons of water before needing replacement.
