Why Every Parent Needs a Berkey Filtered Water Bottle for Their Child

A filtered bottle is an easy way for kids to drink city tap water without buying plastic bottles.

The Sport Berkey reduces PFOA, chlorine, and metals in municipally treated tap water. Fill at home, school fountains that are city water, or a hotel tap. Not a creek or untreated well.

Kids and Tap-Water Chemicals

Lead, arsenic, and pesticides in tap water are chemical issues. See chemical leftovers in tap water, children and water quality PDF, and lead and the brain.

Hydration

Kids need water. A bottle they will actually use helps. Morning water habit: drinking water in the morning.

City Tap Taste

Chlorine smell: why tap water smells like chlorine. Fluoride add-on for the countertop system: PF-2.

Well Water

Private wells need their own lab tests. Bacteria on a well is not a Sport Berkey job. Do not pour untreated well water into this bottle.

What the Bottle Reduces

Chlorine, many metals, pesticides, VOCs, and PFAS in city tap water. No electricity. Shop systems: Berkey systems.

Baby Bottles

Ask your pediatrician what water to mix with formula. A filter is extra chemical reduction on city tap water, not medical advice. Fluoride reduction on the gravity system needs PF-2s.

Where Kids Use It

School fountain (city water), park after you fill at home, hotel tap. Hiking means packed tap water, not a stream.
