Description
No need for expensive disposable filters. Black Berkey purification elements are re-cleanable. This advanced technology was developed, refined, and proven through years of diligent, investigative research and testing performed by water purification specialists, researchers, and engineers.
The flow rate or time of exposure through the exclusive Black Berkey elements has been calculated to yield the greatest volume removal of toxic chemicals and pathogenic bacteria found in nature and caused by pollution from industry and agriculture. It is excellent for everyday urban, rural and survival water purification.
This system comes standard with the following:
- Two 9″ Black Berkey Purification Elements
- 2 washers
- 2 wing nuts
- 1 priming button
Black Berkey Filters can remove:
- Fluoride – Removed to greater than 99.9%.
- Viruses – Removed to greater than 99.9%.
- Pathogenic Bacteria – Removed to greater than 99.9%.
- Lead – Removed to greater than 99.9%.
- Arsenic – Removed to greater than 99.9%.
- Iron – Removed to greater than 99.9%.

These filters are why I love my Berkey filtration system so much! I originally bought a Berkey because we lived where our well water was too high in fluoride and heavy metals (we used the white Berkey fluoride filters in conjunction with these black filters). Now we live off grid in the mountains and collect drinking water from a nearby stream. We always filter it through our Berkey first, to remove any unhealthy organisms or naturally-occurring heavy metal content, and it’s the best water I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t live anywhere without my Berkey now!

Berkey water purification systems are nothing short of outstanding. But, the hard packed charcoal filters must be either recharged (Berkey sells a kit for this), or replaced, periodically. I recommend the kit as it allows you to recharge the filters at a fraction of the cost of these replacement filters. But, if you are lazy, or your filters have been compromised, these genuine replacement filters are what you want. They are the same filters that come with the new Berkey system, and are simple to install.
