British Berkefeld® systems are gravity-fed water filters that filter water simply, efficiently and independently.
Operating principle
The principle is based on the use of two stainless steel tanks, nested one on top of the other. The first tank, at the top, contains the filter cartridges. The second tank, at the bottom, stores the filtered water.
The water is manually introduced into the upper tank, which, pushed by gravity, enters the filters and is purified before passing into the lower tank.
The lower tank is fitted with a tap to collect the filtered water.
It's a simple, high-performance system that operates autonomously, with no need to connect it to the water network or supply it with electricity, so it can be used at any time.
Ultra Sterasyl or Ultra Fluoride filter elements ensure a high level of filtration with remarkable performance.
Several sizes are available, so everyone can choose the ideal capacity to suit the number of people in the household and their water consumption habits.

The system consists of two containers. The upper container is filled with untreated water, which is then filtered in the lower container, through a number of ceramic filter elements. The number of filter cartridges used depends on the flow rate required: |
