Travel Berkey Water Filter: Your Trusted Travel Companion

The Travel Berkey is the small stainless system — about 1.5 gallons — that we used as a couple and still pack for hotel taps. Product: Travel Berkey.

Gravity elements reduce a long list of chemicals in municipally treated tap water. Shop sizes: all systems.

Is It Right for Your Family?

Fridge pitchers did not cut the chlorine and metals we cared about. Two adults in a townhouse: 1.5 gallons and an 18-inch height fit the counter. After a second child we moved to a bigger model and kept this one for trips.

More Uses

Cabin or hotel: fill from the room tap if it is city-treated. Campground tap that is park/city water is the same idea. A summer house on municipal service works. Sports sidelines: fill from a building tap, not a ditch.

Do not use untreated well or surface water. Well chemicals are a different article: well-water filter guide (test first; Berkey is not the bacteria plan).

Specs

Polished stainless. Assembled 18" × 7.5". Nested about 12". 1.5 gallons. Two chambers. Two elements. Official replacements: Phoenix.

What It Reduces in Tap Water

• THMs, VOCs, detergents, pesticides
• Radon 222
• Aluminum, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury
• Chlorine taste and odor, silt, sediment

Flow is roughly a couple of gallons per hour with two primed elements. PF-2s add fluoride/arsenic reduction: PF-2.

What Owners Say

Reviews that talk about hotel and kitchen tap use match how we sell it. Camping how-to that is about boiling surface water is a different product class — not this page’s claim.

Small Families

One to three people at home, or a larger family that already owns a Big/Royal and wants a travel unit. Fifteen years later we still pack ours. Product page.
