Safe drinking water is often taken for granted, and seldom is provision made for a safe backup supply. During emergency situations, a piped water supply may not be available and surface water from rivers, streams, or ponds may present the only sources of water. In this case, the water may appear unclear and have an unpleasant taste, but more importantly is often a source of disease. Even clear and apparently fresh water may be polluted with disease-causing pathogens (germs.)

Black Kat Herbals is a proud dealer of British Berkefeld / Doulton gravity-operated emergency/camping water filters. This filter system is great for everyday use but is especially designed to micro-filter a supply of safe drinking water from cisterns, ponds, streams, and other sources of questionable water. These reliable filters are manufactured of high grade, polished stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance, and are hygienic, durable, and easy to clean. They are beautiful, quality products.

Our beautiful, stainless steel British Berkefeld / Doulton water filter removes parasites and disease-causing bacteria, as well as undesirable color, odors and taste from questionable water sources. Gain peace of mind with a filter manufactured by a company that has been making filters for well over 100 years. This unit is the same system used by missionaries, the Red Cross, and other humanitarian relief agencies worldwide. (58,000 units protected the citizens of Sarajevo alone!)

These filters are in common everyday use in households across the country, and are particularly effective on private well systems. The filter elements remove rust and cloudiness, and the activated carbon core removes undesirable tastes and odors. They are great for camping.
