Berkey®️ Water Bottle Filter
The Sport Berkey® Portable Water Filter is the ideal personal protection traveling companion- featuring the IONIC ADSORPTION MICRO FILTRATION SYSTEM. The theory behind this innovation is simple. The bottle’s filter is designed to remove and/or dramatically reduce a vast array of health-threatening contaminants from questionable sources of water, including remote lakes and streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries where regulations are often sub-standard.
The Sport Berkey® Portable Water Filter eliminates or reduces up to 99.9% of the following:
- • Harmful microscopic pathogens (e-coli, MS-2, Raoultella terrigena, etc).
• Toxic chemicals (Chlorine, Glyphosate, Hexachlorobenzene, etc)
• Trihalomethanes (Bromoform, Chloroform, etc).
• Volatile Organic Compounds (Benzene, Chloroform, Fluorene, etc).
• Pharmaceuticals (BPA, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, etc).
• Pesticides & Herbicides (Atrazine, PCB’s, Simazine, etc).
• Petroleum Products (diesel, gas, oil, etc).
• Heavy metals (copper, lead, mercury, etc).
• Unpleasant taste and odors, cloudiness, silt, sediment, chlorine and more.
Note: All contaminants that this filter has the ability to remove or reduce may not necessarily be in the user’s water supply.
Ionic Adsorption Micro Filtration System
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 a molecular attraction of substances to the surfaces 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 the filter its unique characteristics. The Sport Berkey® Portable Water Filter offers a convenient and portable filtration system using medical grade technology.
Care and Use
Fill the Sport Berkey® Portable Water Filter with water, screw on the 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 and out of the straw. Repeat this flushing process twice before drinking. This removes excess process dust from the Filter. After two flushes, rinse the bottle and cap. Your Filter bottle is now ready for use. Enjoy!
Maintenance and Storage
The Sport Berkey® Portable Water Filter has a shelf life of 50 years. When the filter system will not be used for an extended period, remove filter and flush the unit with either a chlorinated solution of 1/4 tsp. per one half gallon of water, or a 50/50 mix of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Rinse. Allow parts to dry thoroughly with cap removed. Re-assemble and seal in an air tight container if possible. Do not allow filter to freeze, do not place in microwave oven and do not run hot water through the filter.

**Please note that effective Sept 4th, 2015, New Millennium Concepts, Ltd has updated the Sport Berkey® Water Filtration Bottle. The new element is the same except that it has a larger tapered straw connection. The functionality of the Sport Berkey® is unchanged. If you purchased your Sport Berkey® Water Filtration Bottle prior to Sept 4th, 2015 and want to order a replacement filters or caps you will need to order a new bottle as the new and old systems are not compatible (i.e. the new replacement filters will not fit the older model Sport Berkey®bottle)

I led a small team of US Paramedics to Haiti where contaminated water is a big problem in the country. The Berkey Sport Bottles perform as advertised! Test kits showed the water to be contaminant free and safe! Thanks Jeff!

I love this thing, but how do I know when to change the filter? I haven’t been counting how many times I filled it.
David –
Thanks for the question, Jessica. It is estimated that you can fill the Sport Berkey three times a daily with tap water for up to 7 months. The Sport Berkey holds 22 ounces of water.
-Thanks,
David

We bought these for backpacking and love that we can stop at streams and have fresh, cold, safe water. Our only grip is that they leak if they are on their side. We lay our backpacks down with the water bottles completely shut and next thing we know, they are leaking. Not sure why, but a pain to make sure that they stay upright. However, would recommend without hesitation to our friends.

Do these filters take care of fluoride? Fluoride is as toxic as chlorine and targets our thyroid gland by displacing iodine.

The Sport Berkey Water Filter does not remove fluoride.

I was in love with my old berkey water bottle, but left it on the plane by accident. I ordered a new one and it is not purifying my water… I have only used it twice since it’s new and I’m not satisfied. Could I have gotten a used water bottle filter? The water coming out of the spout is reading 141 TDS…
Thanks.

The Sport Berkey water bottles do not remove minerals from the water, so a TDS monitor only checks for minerals. The Sport Berkey should be working fine, as sometimes people have the impression that a TDS monitor checks for chlorine, bacteria etc, and it does not.
Phil –
Does the job very well.
Question…is the bottle and cap dishwasher safe? How best to clean?
Thanks.
David –
The manufacturer recommends hand washing the Sport Berkey water bottle. The filter can be rinsed with clean water but never use soap, detergent, or chemicals on the filter. When the filter has reached its life, throw it away and replace with a new one.
The Sport Berkey is not rated for use in a dishwasher.
