Berkey® setting the standard for water purification!
Black Berkey Purification Elements are the most powerful gravity filter elements currently available on the market. In fact, the Black Berkey water purification elements have been tested with more than 10,000 times the concentration of pathogens per liter than is required by standard test protocol. This concentration of pathogens is so extreme that the post filtered water would be expected to contain 100,000 or more pathogens per liter(99.99% reduction – the requirement for pathogenic removal). Incredibly the purification elements removed 100%. Absolutely no pathogens were cultured from the effluent or were able to be detected by an electron microscope, setting a new standard in water purification.
