Black Berkey elements filter out lead, pharmaceuticals, bacteria and more from your water, but you can also purchase fluoride removal filters to further purify your drinking water and reduce arsenic and fluoride content in it. These plug directly onto the black filters for ease of use and offer additional fluoride reduction benefits.

Replacement Stainless Steel Chamber
This replacement upper chamber (sometimes known as the top) for Berkey Light systems features four holes, allowing up to four Black Berkey elements to be used simultaneously compared with only two in its predecessor model.

Regular maintenance helps reopen pores of Black Berkey filters to extend their lifespan as well as providing increased filtration to filter out pathogens such as E-coli bacteria from entering. Furthermore, regular check up ensures they continue performing as they should!
