Berkey Water Filters, The Berkey Base, made of a durable copolyester. Berkey Water Filters can be used for the Travel Berkey (Bases with LED Lights not recommended for Travel Berkey systems), Big Berkey^® and Berkey Light (comes with Berkey Light  systems) gravity filtration systems. The base allows these systems to be situated anywhere on a flat surface and eliminates the requirement that the systems be placed on the edge of a table or counter. The Berkey Base is currently available in three versions; without lights, with bright white lights and with beautiful cobalt blue lights. The LED lamps make the perfect night-light, emergency light, or camping light. The LED lamps are directional so the base can also be used as a stand-alone emergency flashlight.

Often it is desirable to refill the upper chamber while some of the water from the previous cycle remains in the lower chamber. With non-transparent or opaque systems the upper chamber must be removed from the lower chamber. This is inconvenient and messy because water continues to drip from the filter elements as the user checks for water levels in the lower chamber. This is especially difficult in no or low light conditions. If the user does not check the water level there is a risk that the upper chamber will be overfilled and later cause the lower chamber to overflow. The Berkey Light System solves this problem with its transparent design. The user is able to see the water level in both chambers at all times.
