Berkey Fluoride Water Filter PF2: Features and Review

berkey fluoride water filter pf2

Berkey fluoride water filter pf2 offers an excellent way to remove harmful chemicals from your drinking water supply. Compatible with all Black Berkey filters, they simply thread on and reduce fluoride, pre-oxidized arsenic III/IV/V as well as heavy metals such as MTBE.

PF-2 Fluoride Reduction Elements are constructed from safe, non-leaching polypropylene #5, free from BPA. Before use, they should be primed.

Reduces Fluoride by up to 95%

PF-2 Fluoride & Arsenic Filters (Set of 2) remove heavy metals and fluoride from drinking water, with each filter recommended to be replaced after 1,000 gallons or one year for optimal results. Each set will provide up to four gallons per day under normal circumstances.

Critics often point out the apparent benefits of adding fluoride to drinking water are widely acknowledged and rarely challenged; however, critics also highlight its potentially harmful side-effects: it only touches teeth for an extremely brief amount of time before being swallowed and consumed into our bodies where it may lead to thyroid dysfunction, neurological issues and dental fluorosis – symptoms which Berkey water filter systems offer an effective solution against.

Reduces Arsenic by up to 97%

Berkey’s black filters can effectively filter out contaminants like glyphosate, the carcinogenic herbicide commonly added to our water supplies. But, if you wish to decrease fluoride intake in your drinking water supply, an addition may be needed such as the PF-2 Fluoride Reduction Elements which fit on the stem of Black Berkey filters and work by absorbing fluoride particles from drinking water.

Aluminum oxide (commonly referred to as activated alumina) provides an effective alternative to pure aluminum, without adverse health risks or adverse environmental impact.

These elements are an excellent option for residents living in areas known for arsenic contamination, as they can help significantly limit exposure. When used together with the Black Berkey filter they can significantly lower exposure.

Reduces Turbidity by up to 20%

The PF-2 Fluoride Filters are post filters designed to be used with Black Berkey water purification elements to remove Fluoride, Arsenic, MTBE (Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether) and other heavy metal contaminants such as Fluoride. Crafted from safe non-leaching Polypropylene #5, commonly found in containers for ketchup or yogurt containers; their design allows easy screw-on attachment on stems of Black Berkey Elements with their flow rate being reduced by 15-20%; they should always be installed in the lower chamber for best performance.

Priming instructions are included with each element to ensure optimal fluoride removal performance.

Reduces Lead by up to 99%

Berkey fluoride water filters provide an ideal solution for anyone concerned about the government’s routine addition of fluoride to drinking water, particularly families with young children or living in areas with high fluoride concentrations.

This combination of 2 Black Berkey elements and two PF-2 fluoride reduction elements can be used with any Big Berkey and smaller system to provide powerful water filtration that eliminates potential contaminants from drinking water supplies.

The PF-2 elements contain inert high-grade activated alumina which has been proven to effectively remove fluoride from water without impairing its ability to remove other dangerous contaminants such as arsenic, lead, heavy metals and uranium.

Reduces Cyanuric Acid

PF-2 elements are designed to connect directly with Black Berkey water purification elements and be installed into the lower chamber of a system. They function by filtering out fluoride and arsenic ions found in drinking water using aluminum oxide (activated alumina). This element is non-soluble in water, highly stable, and poses no adverse health effects.

Fluoridation has long been a contentious practice among municipal water supplies since the 1950’s. Health-minded individuals can help reduce exposure to this harmful substance by adding the PF-2 fluoride filters to their Berkey water filter system.

Priming is necessary before using PF-2 filters due to residual process dust remaining within their element capsule. Priming can be achieved in several ways: one of them involves plugging one end with something such as your thumb or another similar object before filling partially filling your capsule with water.
