Remarks: 

1) If the system is left to rest for more than 3 days, it is recommended to empty the lower room, as well as the new purified water, during the first minute.
2) When installing purification elements for the first time or when replacing used elements, always initiating and preparing the new purification element.
3) After cleaning the elements, it is recommended that the elements will be rejected. This will eliminate any dust from processing pores of purification elements and avoid premature clogging.
4) The style of the tip can vary slightly.

WARNING :  Do not read, fully understand and follow all the instructions can cause injury, water damage or cancellation of the warranty! It is the responsibility of the assembler to ensure that all components are correctly assembled and installed following the instructions provided. While  
Your Berkey®, the system should not have any leakage problems, there is always a risk that a leak can occur due to an incorrect assembly or perhaps a defective part. Be vigilant, we recommend that, during the first 24 hours, the filled system is placed in an area where, if such a leak should occur, the resulting spill would damage nothing in the house.

Important operational note:
When the lower room is partially filled, be sure not to fill the upper room too much as it could
Overflow the lower room. For example, if the lower room is filled with 1/3, the upper room can be
Filled 2/3, if the lower room is filled with ½, the upper room can be filled to ½, etc.
