"Technical
Specifications for Black Berkey filters"
|
| The element
used in Berkey systems takes water filtration to a new level.
During tests conducted by independent EPA approved
laboratories the Black Berkey purification element used in the
Berkey systems reduced a long list of
additional contaminates with never before seen results, and
significantly raises the standard for the water filter industry. Read
the extensive list below and see for yourself the ability of these
amazing water filters.
Black Berkey elements are
far more powerful compared
to competitors water filters.
We tested the Black Berkey filters with more than 10,000 times the
concentration of harmful pathogens per liter than is required by
industry
standard test protocols. This concentration of pathogens is so
high that the water exiting the filters should be expected to contain
100,000 or more of pathogens per liter (99.99% reduction - the
requirement in order to be classified for pathogenic removal).
Incredibly the purification elements removed 100% of the
pathogens. Absolutely no pathogens were found in the effluent or were able to be
detected, even under an electron microscope. This sets a new
standard, allowing us to classify all Berkey systems
containing the Black Berkey elements as purifiers. The
revolutionary Black Berkey purification
elements are so powerful they can remove food coloring from
the water without removing any of the beneficial minerals your
body needs.

The
Berkey™ Filter element had extensive testing at State &
EPA accredited laboratories and far exceed EPA & ANSI/NSF (Std.
53) protocol. The Black Berkey elements have been Tested by the University of Phoenix. Spectrum
Labs and the Department of Toxicology and Environmental Science
Louisiana University. Read Berkey
filter lab test results
Because the versatile Black Berkey®
purification elements fit most other manufacturers gravity
filters, off brand gravity filtration systems can be upgraded.
This replacement filter vastly improves other brands housings
ability to remove unwanted water contaminates.
Each element has a life of 3000
gallons. An incredible 6000
gallons for a 2 filter system (less
than 2 cents per gallon of water). This is possible because of
the filters unique ability to be cleaned up to 100 times using a
3M Scotch Brite Pad.
