                                                                       Black Berkey Elements

 

                                                  $99.00/Pair

The Black Berkey® purification elements are created with a new “proprietary” technology that treats and removes most contaminants to undetectable levels, while leaving beneficial minerals (and good taste). The inner media of the purifier work with a reverse ionic flow action.  The 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, MTBE's, foul tastes and odors, yet they leave in the healthful and beneficial minerals that your body need. The have been tested to treat a broader spectrum of contaminants than other filtration systems with the highest pathogenic contamination levels that can be produced in a laboratory. The Black Purification elements can be cleaned and will give you approximately 6,000 gallons of water usage per pair.

 

Several methods of purification are utilized by the Black Berkey® elements. The elements are composed of a formulation of more than a half dozen different media types constructed into a very fine matrix creating millions of micro-fine pores.  The pores are so small that pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, sediment and sedimentary minerals are not able to pass through them. The media formulation both absorbs some contaminates and adsorbs other contaminates.  Next, heavy metals ions (mineral molecules) are extracted through an Ion exchange process where they are essentially electrically bonded to the media. Finally, Black Berkey® filter elements are designed such that each water molecule can take several minutes to pass through the filter elements, whereas these molecules passing through other filtration systems pass through those filters in literally microseconds.  The longer the water molecules are in contact with any media, the greater the removal of the various contaminates.

 

The Black Berkey® purification elements may be stored indefinitely until they are used - best wrapped in an airtight container or bag, since they may absorb odors or airborne contaminants.   $99/pair

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.

No need for expensive disposable filters. Black Berkey® purification elements are re-cleanable. When the flow rate decreases simply brush the Black Berkey® purification elements with a ScotchBrite® pad under running water, reinstall and your system is again ready to purify water. 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.

The Black Berkey® purification element formulation has been tested by State & EPA accredited laboratories to exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) pr
