IMPORTANT: COVID-19 UPDATE
Today we're shipping orders for in-stock items placed November 24. Our Hampton showroom is temporarily closed. Despite high order volume, our amazing shipping team is rapidly reducing processing times—we’ve recently added 20 new team members! We greatly appreciate your business and we’re doing our very best to serve you, as Jim C. of California tells. A word to the wise: Because resupply of many product lines remains daunting, and processing times may grow again in coming weeks, there’s never been a year like this to do your Christmas shopping and other year-end buying very early!

Description
Clearance: Berkey Sport Water Filter Bottle
This is an R1 clearance item. Please check the tables below to see how we rate our clearance items.
The Sport Berkey® Portable Water Filter is the ideal personal protection traveling companion, featuring the Ionic Absorption Micro Filtration System. The bottle's filter removes or dramatically reduces a vast array of health-threatening contaminants from questionable sources of water including lakes and streams, stagnant ponds and other water supplies.
The media within the filter element removes contaminants by a surface phenomenon known as adsorption, 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 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. The "tortuous path" structure of these pores gives it its unique characteristics. The Sport Berkey achieves 99.9% contaminant reduction.
The Sport Berkey's sturdy top loop can be used for hanging. Rotating the loop to the side causes the sipping tube to pop up automatically, so your hands never need to touch the fresh water tube.
If using a source of water that might contain extreme bacteriological or viral contamination, it's recommended that two drops of plain chlorine 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 and leaving only purified water.
Dimensions: 2.75"D x 11"H (including top ring). Tube diameter is 1/4 inch. Holds 22 oz. water.
Filter element life: Ranges from 640 refills from a municipal water source, to 160 refills from a highly turbid water source. Another way to tell when it’s time to change elements is suction effort: when it becomes too difficult to draw water through the tube, it’s time for a new element.
Warranted by manufacturer:

| Bottom Line: If you’re a highly detail-oriented person, we recommend sticking to “R1.” But after a week’s use, the only real difference between one of these items and a brand new one will be the money you saved. | |
Expanded Ratings Descriptions |
|
| R1 | Very close scrutiny is required to tell that the item isn’t brand new. Working surfaces may show slight wear; for example, the bottom-inside of a Bosch mixer bowl may show swirl marks because Bosch mixer whips are designed to “float” against bottom of bowl. Non-working surfaces (cabinet, control panel) look essentially new. Carton may not be perfect. |
|---|---|
| R2 | Typically has a small scuff or mark on a non-working surface like a mixer cabinet or the top of a pressure cooker lid. |
| FR | Mostly returned items which have been brought fully up to new-equipment performance specs at the factory. |
| D | Demonstration items have been operated briefly at Pleasant Hill Grain. |
| DIS | These items have never been used but we no longer sell them at full price in our store because it was discontinued by us or by the manufacturer. |
| U | Has had light use. |
| SDB | Has moderate damage or blemish on a non-working surface, such as a scratch or dent in the housing, or paint blemish. |
| NOS | A brand new item that isn't the newest model. |
