Water Filtration.
Black Berkey® Purification Elements are black filters that sit in the top chamber of the modern and sophisticated Berkey® Water Filtration System. Simply pour untreated water into the system’s top chamber, and the water is purified as gravity pulls it through the Black Berkey® Purification Elements into the bottom chamber where it is easily dispensed through a handy spigot.
Black Berkey® Purification Elements are classified as water purifiers because they reduce or remove up to 99.9999999% of pathogenic bacteria and up to 99.999% of viruses, which greatly exceeds the standard. They can purify raw untreated water, removing volatile organic compounds, trihalomethanes, chemicals, herbicides, and inorganic minerals.
They remove or greatly reduce contaminants like viruses, bacteria, pesticides, PFCs, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals like lead, and even radioactive elements.
The Black Berkey® Water Filtration System is the industry leader in water purification and virus removal! Filter elements are laboratory tested to not only meet but exceed EPA and NSF standards. All Berkey® stainless steel chambers are proudly assembled in the USA from the US and imported parts and the Black Berkey® Purification Elements are made and assembled in the USA as well.
Berkey® systems can remove the following contaminants to purification standards:
- Viruses
- Pesticides
- Petroleum
- Heavy metals
- Inorganic minerals
- Pharmaceutical drugs
- Trihalomethanes (THMs)
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Pathogenic bacteria (and surrogates)
Water Filtration.
These systems can also remove: arsenic (>99.9%); Escherichia coli (E. Coli) (>99.999%); fluorene (>99.9%); manganese (>99.9%); MBAS (>96.67%); nitrites (>95%); PCBs (>99.9%); petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, crude oil, kerosene, mineral spirits, refined oil – all >99.9%); selenium (>99.9%); thallium (>99.5%); rust; silt; sediment; turbidity; foul tastes and odors.
Black Berkey® Purification Elements are more powerful than any other gravity filter element currently available. The Elements have a unique purification capability that is due to their unique structure. The micro-pores within the Black Berkey® Elements are so small that viruses and pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them.
Many water filters on the market may claim to be water purifiers but do not meet the performance specifications required for this classification. To be classified as a water purifier, a water treatment device must remove at least 99.9999% of pathogenic bacteria and reduce viruses by 99.99%. The Black Berkey® Purification Elements can be classified as water purifiers because they remove 99.9999999% of pathogenic bacteria and 99.999% of viruses, which greatly exceeds the standard. The Black Berkey® Purification Element formulation has been tested by State and EPA-accredited laboratories to exceed NSF/ANSI Standard 53.

These rigorously tested purification elements go beyond filtering to purify your water, removing or greatly reducing viruses, bacteria, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, PFCs, organic chemicals, foul tastes and odors, heavy metals like lead, and even radioactive material. They not only purify treated water; the powerful elements can purify raw, untreated water from sources such as lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. The long life of the Berkey® Purification Elements allows you to enjoy purified water for about two cents per gallon.
Many water filters on the market may claim to be water purifiers but do not meet the performance specifications required for this classification. To be classified as a water purifier, a water treatment device must remove at least 99.9999% of pathogenic bacteria and reduce viruses by 99.99%. The Black Berkey® Purification Elements can be classified as water purifiers because they remove 99.9999999% of pathogenic bacteria and 99.999% of viruses, which greatly exceeds the standard. The elements have a unique purification capability that is due to their unique structure. The micro-pores within the Black Berkey® Elements are so small that viruses and pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them.
