The Black Berkey purification element used all of our systems takes water filtration to a new level. During tests conducted by independent EPA approved laboratories the Black Berkey reduced a long list of water contaminants 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 of water 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 Berkey water filter elements removed 100% of the pathogens. Absolutely no pathogens were found in the effluent or were able to be detected. This sets a new standard,  allowing us to classify all Berkey systems containing the Black Berkey elements as purifiers. These revolutionary purification elements are so powerful they can remove food coloring from the water without removing any of the beneficial minerals your body needs.

The Black 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.

Because the versatile Black Berkey® purification elements fit most other manufacturers gravity water filters, off brand gravity filtration systems can be upgraded. This replacement filter vastly improves other brands housings ability to remove unwanted water contaminates.

Each black 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.
