The Berkey water filter occupies considerable surface area on your countertop, so finding an appropriate location may take some time and knowledge. Once installed, filling and draining properly requires expertise to operate smoothly.
Blemished systems feature cosmetic flaws on their canisters that do not hinder functionality of the system, and each blemished model includes two new Black Berkey elements.
What are Scratch & Dent Berkeys?
Scratch and dent Berkey water filters differ primarily by virtue of aesthetics. Blemished models may exhibit scratches, dents or other minor flaws on their stainless steel outer chambers that do not compromise quality or functionality of Black Berkey elements inside.
Berkey Water Filter Systems are widely considered the industry-standard of gravity-fed water filtration. Ideal for homes, small offices and cafes & restaurants as an economical alternative to bottled water; they’re also great for emergency preparedness in environments where treated tap water may not be readily available or is unsanitary.
Most models include two (2) Black Berkey elements, while larger systems can accommodate between 2-6 additional filters depending on the model. You may also opt to purchase extra accessories such as Sight Glass Spigot or PF-2 Fluoride/Arsenic Filters at the time of sale for optimal use of your Berkey system.
How do Scratch & Dent Berkeys Work?
The Berkey system is a gravity flow water filter. This means it takes time for molecules in the water to come in contact with its Black Berkey Purification Elements, providing better results than similar systems using pressurized containers.
Berkey Light plastic containers contain cosmetic flaws that do not impact their filter’s functionality, such as scratches or shipping abrasions that do not significantly impair performance of filters.
TIP: For heavily polluted tap water, consider filtering it through a clean cloth such as a shirt, bed sheet or bandanna before pouring it into your Black Berkey elements. This can reduce cleaning efforts needed over time and help ensure optimal functioning.
Add PF-2 fluoride reduction filters to your Berkey system for additional protection from harmful chemicals, heavy metals and fluoride in drinking water. Note: these filters only effectively filter fluoride when used with municipal water that has been naturally or artificially fluoridated.
