Black Berkey® Purification Elements
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 liter 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 liter (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
coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body
needs. Virtually no other filtration element can duplicate this
performance.
The powerful Black Berkey® purification elements also remove
or reduce viruses, pathogenic cysts, parasites, harmful or unwanted chemicals
such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, cloudiness,
trihalomethanes, silt, sediment, heavy
metals, foul tastes and odors, yet they leave in the healthful and
beneficial minerals that your body needs and....
Because Black Berkey® purification elements fit
most gravity flters, existing gravity filtration systems can be
upgraded. This vastly improves their ability to remove unwanted
contaminates.

Because the Black Berkey® Purification Elements are so powerful they can
remove red food coloring from water. This allows you a method to test
your system periodically. We recommended that the Red Food Color Test be
run after new systems are first assembled. We also recommend that they
be tested every 3 to 6 months thereafter, after your system has been in
storage or before taking your system on a trip or out of the country, in
order to insure your system is functioning properly.

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, reinstall and your system is again ready to
purify water. Each durable and efficient purification element will last
for up to 3,000 gallons (6,000 gallons per
set of two) and provide years
of efficient water purification. What's more, the
unique Black Berkey® purification elements are self-sterilizing.
The Black Berkey® purification element formulation has been
tested by State & EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA &
ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol.
