The 8.5 L reserve, the Black Berkey® elements and the assembly and maintenance instructions remain those of this Big Berkey® configuration.
With the 2 Black Berkey® filters included, the Big Berkey® can produce up to 13.3 L/h. En ajoutant une seconde paire, vendue séparément, le débit maximal annoncé atteint 26,5 L/h.
Ces valeurs sont calculées avec la chambre supérieure pleine. As the level drops, water pressure decreases and filtration naturally slows. Un bon amorçage permet aux éléments de fonctionner correctement.
Le fabricant recommande le remplacement à 3 000 gallons US par élément, soit environ 11 350 L. Pour la paire fournie, cela représente environ 22 700 L au total, or less depending on water quality.
Note the installation date and track your fills. This volume benchmark does not correspond to a guaranteed number of years. Le nettoyage peut rétablir un débit réduit par l’encrassement, sans remettre la capacité à zéro.
Les Black Berkey® utilisent un mélange propriétaire de médias filtrants. The manufacturer publishes independent tests including certain heavy metals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds and perfluorinated compounds. Les résultats se lisent substance par substance et selon les conditions testées.
Les protocoles NSF/ANSI cités dans les rapports décrivent les essais réalisés. Ils ne doivent pas être confondus avec une certification NSF du système. Les documents Black Berkey® sont accessibles en bas de cette fiche.
The Black Berkey® instructions use red food coloring to check the assembly and for internal leaks, especially around gaskets, filter attachments and caps. Carry out the control with the appropriate dye and according to the manufacturer's protocol; remove any PF-2™ before testing.
This visual inspection is not an effectiveness test against all contaminants. If a red or pink tint persists after checking the assembly, ask for help from our after-sales service.
Clean the tanks and the tap regularly according to the instructions. The filters are cleaned externally and primed again in accordance with their instructions. Protect wet parts from freezing.
Before transporting the fountain, remove the filters and protect their threaded rods. A long period of non-use requires the drying and storage precautions indicated by the manufacturer.
Prefer potable water from the network for everyday use and follow the instructions for your installation. Use cold or room temperature water.
Visually clear water alone does not attest to its health quality. This system does not desalinate sea water.
