Sport Berkey
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 sport Berkey 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 from industry and agriculture. This exclusive filter element is
impregnated with proprietary "absorbing" media that promotes IONIC absorption"
of pollutants within the micro-porous element, such as aluminum, cadmium,
chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and other dangerous heavy metals.
Note: If using a source of water that might contain extreme bacteriological
or viral contamination, it is recommended that two drops of plain chlorinated
bleach 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.
Care and Use
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 through 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 sport Berkey
bottle is now ready for use. Enjoy!
Maintenance and
Storage
The 22 oz Sport Berkey
Portable Water Purifier 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
cap removed. Re-assemble and stow. Do not allow sport Berkey to freeze, do not
place in microwave oven and do not run hot water through the filter.

not necessarily be in the user's water supply.
