Description
The Black Berkey® Elements are made and assembled in the USA
- Sold as a set of 2 elements
- Installed in the Upper Chamber of all Berkey Water Systems
- Black Berkey® Elements can also be used to upgrade most other gravity-fed water filter systems
- Black Berkey® Elements are the leader in gravity-fed water Filtration, backed by independent testing
- Black Berkey® Elements mechanically extract waterborne pathogens while dramatically reducing protozoa, trihalomethanes, inorganic minerals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, VOCs, petroleum products, perfluorinated chemicals, rust, silt, sediment and even radiologicals.
- Black Berkey® Elements have been tested by accredited third-party labs that have reported that the elements exceed EPA and ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol, and address over 200+ typical contaminants found in tap water and other freshwater sources.
- Includes: Two 9″ Black Berkey® Elements with 2 washers, 2 wing nuts, and 1 priming button
- Installs in the upper chamber of any Berkey system. Elements can also be used to upgrade most other gravity-fed water filter systems
- We recommend replacing Black Berkey® Elements every 3,000 gallons (6,000 gallons per set of 2 elements). Elements may require replacement sooner based upon the quality of influent water.
- Re-cleanable during the life of the element
- Elements come with a 2-year, pro-rated warranty
Black Berkey® Elements are not designed to be used with salt or softened water as it will shorten their lifespan and void their warranty.
BLACK BERKEY® ELEMENTS SPECIFICATIONS
Specially formulated to address 200+ typical contaminants found in tap water and other freshwater sources. Our unique Black Berkey® Elements are made from a proprietary blend of media, and are backed by independent third-party testing. The gold standard in gravity-fed water filtration, authentic Black Berkey® Elements are capable of greater contaminant reduction and a longer lifespan than virtually any of the other filter elements on the market.
The Black Berkey® Elements formulation has been tested by State and EPA accredited laboratories to exceed NSF/ANSI Standard 53.
