What else does Berkey Do?
Berkey Earth® Elements are classified as water filters because they are tested to reduce contaminants to a bacterial level. Based on Micro-Filtration Technology, they are the most powerful gravity-fed element in the filtration class. They reduce chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, VOC’s, THM’s, heavy metals and more to 99.9%. They are ideal for the price-conscious consumer to get started with a highly effective filter system at a more affordable price.
Black Berkey® Purification Elements are classified as water purifiers because they reduce or remove up to 99.999% (or Log 6) of pathogenic bacteria and up to 99.999% of viruses, which exceeds the standard for purification. They can purify raw untreated water, removing or greatly reducing volatile organic compounds, trihalomethanes, chemicals, herbicides and inorganic minerals. They also remove or greatly reduce contaminants like viruses, bacteria, pesticides, PFCs, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals like lead and even radiologicals.

Why this matters:
You need to know the rate of “% Reduction” drop-off to determine the lifespan of the element.
Multiple readings tell you what effectiveness looks like over time for various contaminants.
Higher volumes in lab tests give you a more accurate picture of performance.
Berkey ® systems used several different independent labs, took multiple samples and performed Extreme Testing for Lead and PFC’s in order to review the effectiveness of our Black Berkey® Purification Elements. Test results are readily available to interested customers. In addition, a non-contracted third-party lab further confirmed the heavy metal reduction of the Black Berkey® Purification Elements.
Berkey® Systems Fit Your Needs
Berkey® systems are available in seven different sizes, from a 1 quart system to a 6 gallon system. Visit our "Find your Berkey System" page to determine what might work best for your family or group.
