Super Sterasyl White Filters
The
Super-Sterasyl white ceramic filters that come standard with the Big Berkey
are cleanable and reduce up to 99.9% of particulates, cysts (Cryptosporidium
Parvum, and Giardia Lamblia Cysts), parasites and pathogenic bacteria such as
Cholera, Typhoid, Salmonella, Serratia, E. Coli, and Fecal Coliform. It also
reduces chlorine, rust and sediment. The ceramics are impregnated with silver,
making them self sterilizing.
A set of
two Super-Sterasyl white ceramic filters are good for up to 15,000 gallons of
water over their lifetime, and are easily cleaned with Scotchbrite or a soft
brush.
