The Black Berkey

The Black Berkey purification element formulation has been tested by State & EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA 7 ANSI / NSF (Std. 53) protocol.

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.

The Black Berkey Filter Element

Black Berkey purification elements are so powerful, they can remove food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other filtration element can duplicate this performance. Perform this test on your black berkey filters at any time to ensure your filters are operating to design specifications.

The powerful Black Berkey purification elements also remove or reduce the following:

Pathogenic Bacteria and Cysts - Undetectable Levels

Parasites - Undetectable Levels

Harmful or unwanted chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides

Chlorine - Removed to Below Detectable Limits

MTBE's (Methyl tert-Butyl Ehter) - Removed to Below Detectable Limits

Other VOC's - Removed to Below Detectable Limits

Cloudiness

Silt

Sediment

Radiologicals - Radon 222 - Removed to Below Detectable Limits

Nitrates & Nitrites

Heavy metals - Up to 95%

HEAVY METALS reduced by up to 95%:
CONTAMINANT	HEALTH EFFECTS
Lead	kidney, nervous system damage
Mercury	kidney, nervous system disorders
Aluminum	respiratory, nervous system disorders
Cadmium	kidney damage
Chromium	liver, kidney, circulatory system disorders
Copper	gastro-enteric disease

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 unique is that the Black Berkey purification elements are self-sterilizing.

Note: Black Berkey purifying elements are upper chamber elements. They do not work simultaneously with upper chamber Ceramic elements. Only one technology is designed to operate in the upper chamber at a time.
