The water test results below show the
Black Berkey elements being required to filter two different samples of
water containing 3 known types of hostile bacteria that are often found
in untreated water. Note the row labeled effluent, this is the water
that passed through the filter and it shows it being greater than a log
9 reduction which equates to 99.9999999% reduction (far exceeding purification standards) or as stated below
the chart in the Additional analysis: " Filtrate samples were
pure H20 ". As shown below, our filters ability to remove disease causing bacteria is unmatched without the use of chemicals. Read more reports below.

The test below shows results for the
Black Berkey elements when required to filter water containing Lead,
Chloroform (represents volatile organic compounds and trihalomethanes) and
chlorine. milligrams per liter (mg/L) is equivalent to parts per
million (ppm), as stated in this document. The lead was reduced from
170 ppb(.017ppm) to less than 6 ppb, that's greater than 96% reduction.VOC's
and Trihalomethanes were reduced from 170 ppb (.017 ppm) to as low .5
ppb (.0005 ppm) that's greater than 99.8%. Chlorine was reduced from
2 ppm to .01 ppm that's greater than 95% reduction. |

This water test for the Berkey filtration
elements confirms the pure H20 statement from LSU in the first test. Notice the number of 9s behind the decimal point this is the indication of the Berkey filters ability to meet the log 7 reduction standard. Look for this specific information from our competitors, you will not find it. |
