Black Berkey® Replacement
Filter Elements (set of 2)
Our Black Berkey®
Filters (also called Black Berkey Elements) are world famous for
good reasons. Read below to learn how the Black Berkey® Filters
used in all of our systems make purified water. It's a more
encompassing level of H20 filtration!

Black Berkey® Filters
Replacement (set of 2)
Berkey systems utilize advanced and powerful filters that we
call our Black Berkey Filter Elements (also sometimes referred
to as BF2s). The Black Berkey Filters used in all of our systems
take water filtration to a whole new level! During testing
conducted by independent, EPA-approved laboratories, the Black
Berkey Filters removed a long list of water contaminants with
never-before-seen results and significantly raised the standard
for the water filter industry. As a result, Black Berkey Filters
are some of the most efficient filters available on the market.
A pair of Black Berkey Filters comes standard in all of Berkey
Water Filter Systems, including the Big Berkey.
When drinking water that’s been filtered using a Black Berkey
Filter, you can rest assured that your water is clean and safe
for consumption. In fact, Black Berkey purification elements are
far more powerful compared to competitors’ water filters. We
tested the 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 a concentration of 100,000 or more
pathogens per liter (99.99% reduction — the requirement in order
to be classified for pathogenic removal). Incredibly, Black
Berkey water filter elements removed 100% of the pathogens.
After using the Black Berkey Filters, absolutely no pathogens
were found in the effluent or were able to be detected. This set
a new standard, allowing us to classify all systems containing
the Black Berkey Filters as purifiers.
The revolutionary Black Berkey Filters or purifier elements are
so powerful that they can remove food coloring from water
without removing any of the beneficial minerals your body needs.
The Black Berkey Filters went through extensive testing at
state, and EPA-accredited laboratories, and far exceed EPA and
ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol. The Black Berkey Filters have been
tested by the University of Phoenix, Spectrum Labs, and the
Department of Toxicology and Environmental Science at Louisiana
University.
Because the versatile filters fit most other manufacturers’
gravity water filtration systems, off-brand gravity filtration
systems can be upgraded to a purifier with little effort simply
by replacing original filter elements with Black Berkey Filters.
This high-quality replacement filter vastly improves other
brands’ housings’ ability to remove unwanted water contaminants.
Black Berkey Filters can be used on almost any water source,
however, we do recommend always using the cleanest water source
possible. Please note Black Berkey Filters are not designed to
be used with salt or softened water. Using the filters with salt
of softened water will drastically shorten their lifespan and
void their warranty.
Each Black Berkey Filter has a life of 3,000 gallons: That’s an
incredible 6,000 gallons for a two-filter system (less than two
cents per gallon of water). This is possible because of the
Black Berkey Filters’ unique ability to be cleaned up to 100
times using a 3M Scotch-Brite pad.
