Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition 2 Filter Elements
✅ Presentation
The Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ filter elements are officially approved by New Millennium Concepts, Ltd. for use with gravity water filtration systems Berkey® and other compatible systems.
They constitute a economical alternative to Black Berkey® filters, with an optimized design to offer high and continuous flow, perfectly suited to water from the municipal network.
⚡ Rapid flow: normal and explained
The faster flow rate of Phoenix NME filters is normal operation and does not constitute a defect.
Unlike Black Berkey® filters, designed with a very dense matrix for uses including more varied water sources, the Phoenix NME uses a different structure, less dense and optimized for municipal water.
👉 This design allows:
- a smoother water passage through the filter media;
- a higher continuous flow ;
- faster production of filtered water for daily uses.
This technical choice is voluntary: it aims to improve comfort of use without compromising filtration performance.
🔬 Filtration technology
These filters use media based on CTC 60 activated carbon from coconut shells, activated at high temperature.
This process generates millions of micropores, forming a so-called structure. winding path, capable of effectively trapping many contaminants.
The structure is then sintered to guarantee a balance between:
- filtration efficiency ;
- optimized flow.
The filter base is made of glass reinforced polymer, BPA free and NSF/FDA compliant.
💧 Filtration performance
Filters Phoenix NME make it possible to reduce:
- sediments, rust and fine particles;
- pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals (undissolved forms);
- VOCs, pharmaceutical residues and chemicals;
- PFAS (perennial pollutants).
✔️ Their effectiveness was validated by independent tests on more than 200 contaminants.
✔️ The filter retains essential minerals and does not modify the TDS.
🧪 Dye test: simple check
If in doubt about the flow rate or the installation, a simple test can validate proper operation:
- Add some red food coloring in the upper tank
- Let the water pass through the filters
- Observe the water in the lower tank
👉 If the water remains clear:
- the filters are correctly installed
- no internal leaks present
- rapid flow is normal
