BLACK BERKEY FILTERS

Black Berkey® Purification Elements are more powerful than any other gravity filter element currently available. In fact, we tested the Black Berkey® purification elements with more than 10,000 times the concentration of pathogens per litre than is required by standard test protocol. This concentration of pathogens is so great that the post filtered water should be expected to contain 100,000 or more pathogens per litre (99.99% reduction – the requirement for pathogenic removal). Incredibly the purification elements removed 100%. Absolutely no pathogens were cultured from the effluent or were able to be detected, even under an electron microscope, setting a new standard in water purification.

Black Berkey® purification elements are so powerful, they can remove red food colouring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other filtration element can duplicate this performance.

Because Black Berkey® purification elements fit most gravity filters, existing gravity filtration systems can be upgraded. This vastly improves their ability to remove unwanted contaminates.

No need for expensive disposable filters. Black Berkey® purification elements are re-cleanable. When the flow rate decreases simply brush the Black Berkey® purification elements with a ScotchBrite® pad under running water, re install and your system is again ready to purify water. Each durable and efficient filter will last for up to 11,356 litres (22,712 litres per set of two) and provide you with years of efficient water purification. If you filter 2 gallons per day with a set of two filters in the system, that means you can switch out your filters 3-5 years! What’s more, the unique Black Berkey® purification elements are self-sterilizing.

Features:

  • Kit Includes: Two 9″ Black Berkey® Purification Elements with 2 washers, 2 wing nuts, and 1 priming button.
  • Filter Capacity: 11,356 litres (22,712 litres per set of two) – roughly 3 to 5 years depending on water source quality and usage.
  • Compatibility: Installs in the upper chamber of any Berkey system. Elements can also be used to upgrade most other gravity-fed water filter systems.
  • Re-cleanable and self-sterilizing during the life of the element
  • Durable and efficient
  • Very economical– filters
  • Powerful enough to remove most biological and chemical contaminants without removing beneficial minerals
  • Tested by USA State & EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol.
  • Elements come with a 2-year, pro-rated warranty

The powerful  Black Berkey® purification elements also remove or reduce viruses, pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, harmful or unwanted chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, trihalomethanes, cloudiness, silt, sediment, heavy metals, foul tastes and odours, yet they leave in the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body needs.
