Thread: Sammie c

  1. Sammie c

    I'm looking for a good water filtration system for emergency use and have pretty much settled on the Big Berkey with extra drinking bottles to take along also. It seems like the best any ideas would be appreciated as I know its alot of money. My only other idea is a Katalyn but don't know too much about those.

    I have the Katadyn Gravidyn (which is a counter "drip" unit like the Big Berkey).
    The Katadyn unit I have is all heavy duty plastic instead of the stainless steel, so it's a little lighter.
    The Berkey is (in my opinion) more for looking nice in a home (but does it's job well), where as the Katadyn does the same job, but is more "plane jane", so a little less money.
    Last I checked the Berkey was about $260 for the standard 2.25 gallon unit with 2 filters, and the Katadyn was about $220 for the 2.5 gallon unit with 3 filters.
    For what its worth, any good plan has backups...
    So I have an assortment of other "travel size" filters too.
    MSR, Aqua Pure, etc...
    So long, and thanks for all the fish.
