Berkey - Black Berkey - filtration cartridge - Ref BB9-2

Berkey® systems, equipped with authentic Black Berkey® elements, are composed of activated carbon, ceramic and silver, all compressed using a secret technological process that makes them unique. They eliminate and significantly reduce over 200 potential contaminants in thetap water or the sources offresh water untreated raw materials, such as ponds, the rivers, the lakes and the streams, protozoa, trihalomethanes, inorganic minerals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, VOCs, petroleum products, perfluorochemicals, rust, silt, sediments and even radiological products.
The elements of purification Black Berkey™ are the most efficient of all gravity filter elements currently available on the market. The micropores in Black Berkey™ purification elements are so small that even pathogenic viruses and bacteria cannot pass through them. Black Berkey™ purification elements are so effective that they can even remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. No other filtration element can achieve this performance. Unlike some expensive disposable filters, Black Berkey™ purification elements not only have a very long lifespan, but are also cleanable. When the flow rate decreases, simply scrub the Black Berkey™ purification elements with a ScotchBrite® pad under therunning water, reinstall them and your system is ready to purify water again. In addition to being washable, the filters are self-sterilizable to preserve them during long periods of non-use.

The Black Berkey™ filter is compatible with the Berkey Light® - Big Berkey® - Crown Berkey® - Go Berkey® - Imperial Berkey® - Royal Berkey® - Travel Berkey® purifiers.

Each purification element filters up to 11,350 liters and will provide pure, healthy water for years (around ten years on average for a family of 4 for 1.5 liters of drinking water per day).
