Black Berkey Elements, 2-Pack

Black Berkey Purifier Elements

Black Berkey® purifier elements are the world's most powerful gravity filtering solution, certified to eliminate pathogenic bacteria to the EPA's "7 Log" purification standard of 99.99999% reduction. Elements are easily cleanable with a Scotch Brite® pad under running water, and each element will purify up to 3000 gallons of water (6000 gallons per set of two.) The Black Berkey filter formulation has been tested by state & EPA accredited laboratories.

The media within Black Berkey® elements removes contaminants by a surface phenomenon called adsorption, the molecular attraction of substances to the surface of the media. The exclusive purification elements are also impregnated with proprietary media that promote ionic absorption of pollutants within the micro-porous elements. A key reason Berkey systems are so effective in removing contaminants from water is their long contact period. Most systems blast water through their filters at high pressure, which limits contact with their filter media to only a fraction of a second. Water molecules passing through the revolutionary micro-porous structure of the Black Berkey purification elements are drawn gently by gravity and remain in contact with the trapping media for several minutes. This multiplies the Black Berkey filter media's ability to capture contaminants.

In addition to their phenomenal reduction of pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites, the powerful Black Berkey purification elements also remove or reduce harmful or unwanted chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, VOCs, detergents, organic solvents, trihalomethanes, cloudiness, silt, sediment, nitrites, heavy metals, foul tastes and odors. Even viruses are removed, down to 25 nanometers. Yet they leave in the water the healthful and beneficial minerals your body needs.

Order for replacement or upgrade

Each Black Berkey purifier system comes equipped with some number of elements. Please see purifier system descriptions for the number of elements that can be installed in, and the number of elements that are included with, each system. For systems that can accept additional elements, installing more will increase flow rate. Other gravity water purifier systems can also be retrofitted with Black Berkey elements to bring them up to the highest possible standard of contaminant reduction and efficiency. We recommend carrying at least one spare set of Black Berkey elements to assure your supply of clean, safe water.

Cleaning

Clean-ability makes Black Berkey water purifier elements one of the most economical ways to purify your water. Why throw money away on expensive noncleanable elements that have to be pitched frequently, when each set of two Black Berkey elements produces up to 6000 gallons of super pure water?

Black Berkey elements come in one size only. The pair of elements on this page are sold without a Berkey water chamber.

Soft water

The Black Berkey® purification elements are designed to remove heavy metals, but will not remove mineral salts, which are added by a water softener. The salt used to soften water will not be extracted by the Black Berkey® element. We recommend that you use softened water directly from the source rather than running it through the Black Berkey® elements.

Please note: Replacement Black Berkey water purifier elements are available for shipment to all U.S. states.

Best Filters I Know Of
By Cristina M. in TN on 3/31/2020 Verified Buyer

I love my Berkey, and have had the same one for 10-12 years now. The Black Berkey filters last our family a long time, just give them a nice clean ever so often. I recently purchased replacements since I knew it had been quite some time since I’ve replaced mine, maybe 2 years or so. They seemed to still be working great, but just in case. However, before changing them out, I did the red dye test (just put a few drops of red food coloring into the top filtering tank) to see if the filters were still working properly, and lo and behold, the filters were still working perfectly! Going to hold on to the replacements as backups for later. So for a family of 4, these filters are still going strong a couple years later. These are truly the best filters I know, and Berkey is the only one I recommend to my family members and friends.

The Berkey Light Filters I ordered arrived quickly
By RITA D. in FL on 3/22/2020 Verified Buyer

I had not had to order in quite awhile but with the evil virus coming here (the US) I ordered them again. The price has only gone up 10.00 in the 9 years I have been using them... I was surprised.

These are the filters I use in my Berkey, and Pleasant Hill is the place to get them. They're one of the very few companies I trust.

Love the taste
By Mary D in WV on 3/30/2020 Verified Buyer

Fluoride in public water is a health concern for me. I’m a heavy drinker- of water that is— therefore I feel safer drinking Berkey water and it tastes great!

Great service
By candace d. in OK on 9/15/2020 Verified Buyer

Thank you for your friendly workers. I appreciate your quickness to send my package. I do have a request, please don't send packages to me with Fed X. They left my package to the wrong address. When they realized they said they did go back and get it. Suppose to be here today sometime. I can only be here to noon. This week we have installs to do so that means I probably won't be here to ever get it so I will have to drive downtown OKC at a warehouse to get it. Last fed X package the sent it to a Wal-Mart store for me to get. Great, only they gave my package to some girl with 2 kids.

Slow
By Thomas B. in NC on 9/13/2020 Verified Buyer

Shipping very slow even with Covid-19 in mind. I am happy you had the product in stock and were able to get it to me.

Moderator : If you were in our shoes, Thomas, we're confident that your opinion of what's possible in these times, would be different. We've been working days, nights and weekends since March (and hiring every quality person we can find) to try to keep up. We'll keep doing our best. Thanks for your business, and for your review.

Black Berkey Elements
By Rick C. in TX on 8/01/2020 Verified Buyer

My brother-in-law has used a Berkey system for years on his ranch, and since the systems are not available right now, we bought the filters to make a homemade system.
