The Big Berkey® water filter is the ideal filtration system for the average family of 1 to 4 people. Black Berkey® Elements is the leader in gravity water filtration, backed by independent testing. Black Berkey® elements significantly reduce trihalomethanes, inorganic minerals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, VOCs, petroleum products, perfluorochemicals, rust, sludge, sediments, and radiological products. Black Berkey® elements have been tested by accredited third-party laboratories, reporting that the elements meet ANSI/NSF (Std. 53) protocol and treat over 200 typical contaminants found in drinking water sources.

Elements can also be used to upgrade most other gravity fed water filtration systems. Sold as a 2-element set. We recommend replacing Black Berkey® elements after 6,000 gallons (11,356.24 gallons per 2-element set). Elements may need to be replaced sooner depending on incoming water quality. Reusable for life of element. Elements come with a pro-rated 2-year warranty.
