Big Berkey Gravity-Fed Water Filter with 2 Black Berkey Purification Elements

Product Information

Please make sure the food coloring is RED. Red food coloring (unlike the other colors) doesn’t have any minerals, so the element recognizes it as contaminant.

The heavy metals in the water are extracted through an ion exchange process, where the molecules are electrically bonded to the media Each element has an expected life of 3,000 Gallons (11356 Litres) or 6,000 Gallons (22712 Litres) for a set of two. Usually replacement is suggested after 7-11 years. Filters needs to be cleaned every 12 months with warm water and a soft brush and primed. (takes not more then 10-15 minutes)

Why Berkey? What makes Berkey water filters so special?

Berkey Purification systems do not remove all beneficial minerals from the water. Still, they extract harmful heavy metals such as lead and mercury and sedimentary minerals such as iron oxide. Therefore, the TDS reading will not typically change much unless there are a lot of heavy metals or sedimentary minerals within the source water. Microplastics have been detected in drinking water, beer, and food products, including seafood and table salt.

Before traveling to and using the system in an area without water pressure we recommend that the purification elements be primed using the priming button. If this however is not possible and water pressure is not available to use the priming button method, the elements can be primed approximately 50% by using the below method. In other words using this method, the elements will not purify as fast as they will by using the priming button method however they will run significantly faster than if the elements have not been primed at all. The alternate priming method is as follows: Have you ever heard of the Berkey Filter? Are you curious about the science behind it and how it works? Do you trust the claims made by Berkey? As oestrogen is far more damaging than progesterone to the body, I would like to know if in fact the Berkey does remove this? Take a look at the table below. The influent water level in this test was spiked with fluoride to 1.84 mg/L or higher. The columns “Effluent Fluoride” and “Fluoride % Reduction” show the effluent (filtered) fluoride levels.No. The Berkey PF2 Fluoride filters are not necessary as the level of fluoride in London is really low. However a lot of people choose to use them as they don,t want any fluoride in their water and they also remove the Arsenic from their water. Re-prime the filters. If you’re not familiar with this process please visit our YouTube channel with step by step instructions, here. They are so powerful that they are classed as a water purification systems and have a much higher standard then normal water filters today.

People sometimes call us the “Berkley” Water Filter; however, it is Berkey® Water Filter. There is no water filter called the “Berkley” Water Filter. It’s a simple misspelling of Berkey. Take a look at the table below. The influent water level in this test was spiked with fluoride to 2.10 mg/L or higher. The columns “Effluent Fluoride” and “Fluoride % Reduction” show the filtered fluoride levels.

Berkey Water Filters

Berkey removes Bacteria, Chlorine, Pesticides, Herbicides, Fluoride, and other unhealthy contaminants without removing the beneficial and nutritional minerals needed to support a healthy body and mind. The cost of water purification is just about three cents per gallon. Chromium-6 could have been in your drinking water for years, even long after it’s no longer added through industrial processes. Why Berkey? What makes Berkey water filters so special? ♛ Berkey Works Better Than Any Gravity Filters Available! However, please keep in mind that it is possible to overwhelm filtration elements. For example, removing a gallon of kerosene from a 1,000 gallon pool should not be problem (time consuming, but not a problem). Removing a gallon of kerosene from 2 gallons of water & kerosene mixed would probably overwhelm any gravity fed element.
