Big Berkey® Housing + BOROUX Foundation™ Filters

Real-world contaminant reduction backed by independent lab testing — up to 99.97% reduction across heavy metals, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and more. Your family’s health, every pour.

WQA Certified 80+ Contaminants Reduced Made in the USA HSA/FSA Eligible 60-Day Free Returns

What Clean Water Does for Your Health

Most tap water contains contaminants at levels you can’t taste or smell. The BOROUX Foundation™ filters — paired with the proven Big Berkey® stainless housing — are independently tested to dramatically reduce the compounds most associated with long-term health concerns.

  • ✓
    PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”) Reduced — up to 99.6%
    PFOA, PFOS, and related compounds are linked to thyroid disruption, immune effects, and reproductive health. This filter significantly reduces them from your drinking water.
  • ✓
    Heavy Metals Reduced — up to 99.36%
    Lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and uranium are reduced well below typical tap levels. Particularly important for children and pregnant women, for whom even trace exposure affects brain and kidney development.
  • ✓
    Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) Reduced — up to 99.7%
    Chlorine, chloramine, THMs, and haloacetonitriles — byproducts of municipal water treatment — are significantly reduced. Better taste and reduced long-term exposure.
  • ✓
    Pharmaceuticals Reduced — up to 99.5%
    Trace prescription drugs, OTC medications, and personal care compounds enter tap water through wastewater systems. Ongoing low-level exposure can disrupt hormones and antibiotic resistance.
  • ✓
    Pesticides & Herbicides Reduced — up to 99.95%
    Atrazine, glyphosate, DEET, lindane, and similar compounds that run off into watersheds are dramatically reduced. Linked to hormone balance disruption at chronic low levels.
  • ✓
    Industrial Toxins & VOCs Reduced — up to 99.6%
    Benzene, BPA, TCE, PFAS, and related industrial chemicals — associated with liver, kidney, and nervous system effects — are substantially reduced.
  • ✓
    Microplastics Reduced — 98.9%
    WQA Certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 401. Particles 0.5–1.0 microns are captured — the size range that can carry chemical loads into the body.
Note on Fluoride: Foundation™ filters do not reduce fluoride. For fluoride reduction, add the BOROUX Proactive™ Fluoride Filters — alumina-free, designed to pair directly with Foundation™ filters in the same housing.

Certifications

BOROUX Foundation™ filters are certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA) — an independent, accredited certification body. This is distinct from being “NSF Certified”; WQA tests and certifies to the same NSF/ANSI standards.

NSF/ANSI 42 Aesthetic Effects & Materials Safety
NSF/ANSI/CAN 401 Emerging Contaminants & Microplastics
NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 Lead-Free Design

Certifying body: WQA (Water Quality Association). The Big Berkey® housing itself does not carry independent certifications.
