The Sport Berkey™ Utilizes
IONIC ADSORPTION MICRO FILTRATION
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 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 rate of adsorption. The flow rate or time of exposure through
the filter has been calculated to yield the greatest volume removal
of toxic chemicals caused by pollution of industry and agriculture.
This exclusive filter also incorporates proprietary absorbing media
that are impregnated into the micro-porous filter for the IONIC
absorption of pollutants into the filter such as aluminum, arsenic,
cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, zinc, and other dangerous
heavy metals.
The Torturous Path” structure of
these pores gives it its unique characteristics. The Sport Berkey™
Filtration Bottle offers a convenient and portable filtration system
using medical grade technology.
Note: If using a source
of water that might contain extreme bacteriological or viral contamination
it is recommended that two drops of plain Clorox™ or iodine
be added to each refill before filtering. This will kill minute
pathogens such as viruses. The disinfectant will then be filtered
from the water entirely removing its odor, color and taste.
Maintenance and Storage
The Sport Berkey™ has a shelf life
of 50 years. When the filter system will not be used for an extended
period, flush the unit with a chlorinated solution of 1/4 tsp. per
one half gallon of water. Allow to dry thoroughly with bottom cap
removed. Re-assemble and stow. Do not allow filter to freeze, do
not place in microwave oven and do not run hot water through the
filter. Note: All contaminants that this filter has the ability
to remove or reduce may not necessarily be in the user’s water
supply.
Care and Use
Fill the Sport Berkey™ 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 through filter & out the straw. Repeat this
flushing process twice before drinking. This removes all excess
process dust from the filter. After 2 flushes, rinse the bottle
& cap. Your filter bottle is now ready for use. Enjoy!
This water filtration product has been
tested by the University of Arizona, Spectrum Labs and the Aquatic
Toxicology Laboratory at Louisiana State University in accordance
with the EPA Protocol for Microbiological Purifiers and ANSI/NSF
53 adapted for sport bottles.
