WALTER “My best friend came home from Brazil with the most beautiful terra cotta water dispenser and I was obsessed with it as an object. I wanted to remake in my own way and but include the most effective filtration available. After a bit of research I found ‘Berkey’ and designed WALTER to fit their Black Filter. I knew that there wasn’t anything on the market that was aesthetically pleasing AND had the best purification and filtration, so I set out to change that.” - Cassie, creator of ‘WALTER’. Not so long ago, those dissatisfied with the quality of their tap water had two choices: a contoured plastic pitcher or more presentable (but carbon-guilt-inducing) cases of San Pellegrino. Meet WALTER a new kind of tabletop water filter which is both stylish and sustainable and designed to look as crisp as the purified H2O it produces. The WALTER (the name is a mash-up of “water” and “filter”) is hand-thrown from terra-cotta clay and comes in a whimsically painted version that would be a focal point of any kitchen. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #WALTER #waterfiltrationsystem #berkeyblackfilter #waterpurifier #BIGWALTER #water #filtration #ceramic #lifetime #environmentallysound #gogreen #handcrafted https://www.instagram.com/p/B4R4--Xgtux/?igshid=1xz8h33fgt3cr

WALTER “We recently launched the BIG WALTER, which houses two filtration elements and can accommodate a fluoride filtration attachment in the lower chamber. Dual filters means it can purify more water, faster than the original WALTER, so it’s perfect for larger families and offices. I envision it taking the place of the conventional water cooler (no more water deliveries and plastic jugs). It makes way more sense financially, has zero carbon footprint and it’s gorgeous!” - Cassie, creator of ‘WALTER’. Each WALTER is individually crafted using traditional techniques and the elemental material is clay. WALTER brings together mindful living and convenience without compromising style. Every WALTER is made of three handmade ceramic sections - the simple design makes WALTER easy to operate and maintain and is handcrafted in New York City. WALTER plays nicely with the Berkey Filter which provides the ultimate in waterborne contamination removal. The Berkey Filter is a purifier. Toxins are present even in the best tap water. The production, degradation and waste of plastic bottles plus the consumption and use of petroleum to make, transport and recycle them, makes bottled water too costly a beverage. Filtering tap water is good for our bodies and the planet. Filtering with WALTER is even better and it looks so good too! #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #WALTER #waterfiltrationsystem #berkeywaterpurifier #BIGWALTER #water #filtration #ceramic #lifetime #environmentallysound #gogreen #handcrafted https://www.instagram.com/p/B4R46uUAHqy/?igshid=ysu2qcrbe9e7
