A Berkey water filtration system, in case of an emergency, is a useful kit to have in your home. It is a quick and easy way to access clean drinking water no matter what happens.
This is a long overdue post. However it is important, especially in the times we are in today. I invested in a Berkey water filtration system. For those of us living in the city with little access to collect water conveniently, this system is a sure bet life safer when it comes to purifying your water. This is an excellent cost effectiveness resource allocation investment for life.
The filter was bought in February 2021 for $376.00, plus tax. Since that date, the price has risen and will continue to go up in price. Nevertheless, if you live in the city, especially in a condo, this is a gem to have. The one I purchased is the smallest system available.
It is portable and can purify up to 600 gallons of water before having to change the filter. You will use it for approximately two years before the filter needs to be changed. The cost of a new filter is just under $200.00, for now.
As mentioned this is an investment. For people like us living in the city, this is the next best thing. I ordered this filtration system online, on Amazon. Click the links below to see the product and other styles they offer. We all need a form of accessible clean water. In a power outage something like this is handy.
Why buy a Berkey Filter?
Benefits of Owning a Berkey Water Filtration System:
1. Cleans your water by removing viruses, fluoride, pathogenic bacteria, lead, arsenic, iron, mercury, chlorine, pharmaceuticals, petroleum contaminants, pesticides, heavy metals, coliform, e-Coli, uranium and many more harmful elements
2. Any kind of water is drinkable, for example rain water and lake / river / pond / ditch water
3. The filtration system lasts two years before it gets dirty
4. If the water shuts off, this is a reliable water filter to use as a substitute
5. Easily transportable
6. Gravity fed. There are no moving parts
It is a good idea to have back up tools in the city. Clean water is becoming a major issue in many parts of the world. Clean drinking water is basic and the key to our survival.
We can survive without food for a while but only a few days without water. Make sure to have a back up plan for water. This is a temporary fix before dealing with long term effects. Hopefully that is not the case.
This is the best time to prioritize what you want and what you need. Keep your budget in mind. This is not something to buy when you have credit card debt that cannot be paid off on time.
At this point be practical and graceful with every purchase you make. In order to buy this asset, have the money set aside. You do not want this to hinder your financial progress.
Some people are impulsive shoppers. This is an expensive vice and can keep people in debt for decades. It is best to assess what is valuable and what is an asset in your life. What is there that you can live without? Adjust you life.
