Big Berkey Water Filter – The most powerful gravity-fed water purifier in the world that can remove 99.999%+ viruses and 99.9999%+ bacteria.
Our water is contaminated
Let’s admit it, our tap water is contaminated.
It is contaminated with over 320 toxic substances, according to the latest EWG’s 2021 Tap Water Database.
Among the 320+ toxins, scientists found chlorine, chlorine byproducts, fluoride, lead, mercury, cadmium, asbestos, zinc, chromium, copper, herbicides, pesticides, sediments, germs, agricultural runoff, microplastics, pharmaceutical remnants, sulfur, iron, organic contaminants, fire retardants, plasticizers, surfactants, personal care products (PPCPs), nanomaterials. ……
As the list goes on, the scope of the emerging contaminants (ECs) is alarmingly ever-expanding.
If that reality is not grim enough, with the pandemic, one type of contaminant further aggravates people’s concern over the water they drink: microbiomes.
Not that microbiomes are new, but that the pandemic aggravates people’s apprehension of microbiomes’ omnipresence and the potential adverse consequences people might have to suffer.
Among the waterborne microbiomes, 95% of them are found in biofilms along water pipelines.
These biofilms – the hotbeds for bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and algae – harbor microbial virulence and pathogenicity. But what’s truly concerning is that, as these microbiomes survive the cocktail of 320+ toxins in the plumbing systems, they are producing antimicrobial resistance over time.
How would antimicrobial resistance affect public health? Too dire to fathom at this point. But the record shows that biofilms in the plumbing systems explained most of the drinking water-related hospitalizations and deaths back in 2014.
For now, at least one thing for sure is, that it will take a long time before scientists can fully comprehend the dire consequences of these waterborne pathogens. For now, we have to figure out a way to remove microbiomes in our drinking water before they wreak havoc on our health.
We need a practical and immediate solution to remove microbiomes.
So far at this point, there are not many solutions out there for this purpose. Among the few, Big Berkey Water Filter rises as one of the reliable solutions people can count on.
Big Berkey Water Filter
Big Berkey Water Filter is not a typical water filter. It’s a gravity-fed water purifier.
A typical water filter can only remove larger microbiomes such as protozoa and bacteria; a water purifier, in contrast, can remove smaller microbiomes such as viruses.
What’s striking about Big Berkey, however, is not that it can remove viruses, but that it can remove 99.999%+ MS2 and Fr Coliphage (two of the smallest viruses) and 99.9999%+ bacteria (such as E. Coli). No other free-standing water filter has reached this level of absolute pathogen removal rate.
How did Big Berkey accomplish that?
Well, Big Berkey enacts 2 principles: microfiltration and adsorption.
The first principle – microfiltration – is to filter water through microscopic pores. This principle targets those microbiomes bigger than the pore size and filters them out before water enters microscopic pores.
The second principle – adsorption – targets microbiomes smaller than the pore size. Once water enters microscopic pores, this principle can pull these tiny microbiomes out onto the surfaces of the pores, leaving water free of microbiomes.
As effective as these two mechanisms are, however, they are not what make Big Berkey the most powerful personal water filter out there on the market. As both microfiltration and adsorption are natural principles any firm can abide by, neither is exclusive to Big Berkey’s advantage.
What’s exclusive to Big Berkey is how they execute these two principles – they push the execution to the extreme. For microfiltration, they did not just add microscopic pores to the filter – they compress 6 different media types into a matrix of millions of tiny microscopic pores. ‘Millions’ is a whopping number. No other brand has pushed microfiltration to that extreme – that degree of execution is unparallel.
As if these millions of microscopic pores are not powerful enough, Big Berkey further contorted each pore into a path of ‘convoluted twists and turns’. This ‘tortured path’ significantly reduces forward momentum – water gets stuck. And when that happens, waterborne microbiomes have nowhere to escape but get pulled out onto the surfaces, slowly but surely. That completes the physical separation of even the tiniest pathogenic contaminants from water.
No wonder Big Berkey is one of the slowest yet most powerful personal water purifiers out there on the market. This is the purifier people can trust in times of need.
A sustainable solution
Clean water is essential to the very livelihood of our humanity, yet it’s turning into a cocktail of toxins on a worldwide scale.
We need a sustainable solution to detox our drinking water, not later but now.
With that in mind, however, we have to realize that a sustainable solution is not a ‘green’ solution. It has nothing to do with ‘green’ values, ‘green’ packaging, ‘green’ marketing, or ‘green’ initiatives, but has everything to do with the solution itself.
A sustainable solution has to be a sharp solution first and foremost – it has to work.
It has to be able to solve a problem, not superficially but thoroughly. And this thoroughness cannot be transitory, but long-lasting.
Most business solutions, however, are neither thorough nor long-lasting.
They are good enough – just good enough to make profits, but they are not sharp.
A sharp solution is one that pushes things to the extreme. It delivers extreme values – the radically better values – to customers.
But how is it possible?
Well, by delving deep into the bottom line.
The bottom line is where the sustainable solutions are seeded, and only those who can get to the bottom line can grow the sustainable solutions.
And this bottom line involves three prerequisites: root causes, fundamental principles, and a full commitment.
By working on root causes, a thorough solution becomes possible; by adhering to fundamental principles, a timeless solution becomes probable; and by making a full commitment, a sustainable solution is finally foreseeable.
Getting to the bottom line, however, is a path less traveled. Few dare to dig deep, fewer are willing to honor fundamental principles, and only one or two can make a full commitment.
After all, getting to the bottom line is a choice few would make. But for the one or two who do, they are the true keepers of sustainable solutions.
