The Berkey® Base, made of durable Lexan® polymer (the same material used to make bullet proof glass) is designed to fit under most gravity filtration systems including the Big Berkey®, the Travel Berkey® and Berkey Light® systems etc.
The Berkey® Base elevates gravity purification systems enabling containers to fit under the spigots. This allows a gravity purifiers to be used directly on the ground or situated anywhere on a flat surface and eliminates the requirement that the purifier be placed on the edge of a table or counter. The base has an optional eight-lamp LED lighting system (Not recommended for Travel Berkey® systems). This allows optimum use during no or low light conditions. Used with transparent Berkey Light™ systems, the light shines through the water causing the droplets of filtered water to light up and glow. The resulting waves reflect soothing patterns of light onto the surrounding area. The lighting effects coupled with the melody of raindrops, combine to create a unique and relaxing atmosphere.
The eight LED lamps within the base are the perfect night light and the WHITE LED's are bright enough to provide a long lasting low energy source of reading light, emergency light, a camping light as well as a beacon for water in no or low light conditions. The COBALT BLUE LED's are beautiful and are a real eye catcher. Additionally, the LED lamps are directional so the base can also be used as a stand-alone emergency flashlight.
The Berkey® Base is currently available in three versions; without lights, with bright white lights and with beautiful cobalt blue lights. The base without lights is designed for situations where elevation of the gravity filter is desired without the need for any auxiliary lighting. Cobalt blue is designed with beauty in mind and is for use in situations where it is desirable to enhance the ambience of the surrounding atmosphere. It is simply beautiful. The white LED version is designed for practical use in situations where emergency or auxiliary lighting may be required. The lights are bright enough to be usefull as a reading-light, night-light, flash-light or room-light.
