Black Berkey Purification 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.
 
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.

Maintaining Black Berkey Elements

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.

"Best filter you can buy!"

Rich UPS on 8/7/2010 10:54:46 AM

Product Review: I have heard so much good things about the Berkey water filter that I had to try it out. This water filter is amazing and does what it claims. The Big Berkey water filters are sold out every where but Distasterstuff.com had them in stock. Do not waste your money on any other filter, Berkey is the WORLD standard. Once you see the size of the filter you realize that any other store bought filter "brita" is a joke and only made to mask the taste, and they do not REMOVE harmful chemicals. I am writi... More details

Product Review: I ordered this purifier end of April 2009 and received it shortly after that. Packaging was good and showed up in perfect condition. Ive used this filter daily and have been very happy with it. Only thing I would like is a spigot hold open feature to fill gallon jugs easier. I currently just use a rubber band so I dont have to stand there holding the spigot open. Great filter and I would buy again for sure. A note from customer support:  Our spigots are designed to push down for on demand d... More details
