Black Berkey 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.
We are Happy to Announce that the Black Berkey Elements have been tested to remove Viruses listed below!
More Facts:
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.
The powerful Black Berkey® purification elements
also remove or reduce pathogenic cysts,
parasites, harmful or unwanted chemicals such as
herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents,
organic solvents, trihalomethanes, cloudiness,
silt, sediment, nitrates, nitrites, 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.
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.
