Dimensions and approximate weights converted from manufacturer's values. The number of people is a benchmark to adapt to your consumption. Remove the filters and the tap before fitting the tanks and follow the instructions for their storage.
The system works with the weight of the water: the water poured into the upper tank passes through the Black Berkey® elements, then the lower tank retains the filtered water for service. You keep control of the filling, without an electrical connection.
With its reserve of 17 liters, the Imperial Berkey® is suitable for regular use at home. Install it on a stable surface, suitable for the weight of the full system, with convenient access to the lid and faucet.
UNDERSTANDING FILTRATION
| Configuration without PF-2™ | Maximum manufacturer flow rate |
|---|---|
| 2 Black Berkey® supplied | Up to 20.8 L/h |
| 6 Black Berkey® in total | Up to 62.5 L/h |
Maximum configuration requires 4 additional Black Berkey® filters, sold separately.
These maximums are measured with the full upper bowl. Flow rate decreases as the water level drops and is also dependent on priming and maintenance.
Rapid flow may be normal. However, check the tightness of the joints, the mounting of the filters and the caps if the flow rate seems unusual to you.
VOLUME AND MAINTENANCE
The manufacturer recommends replacing the Black Berkey® pair after approximately 22,700 liters of filtered water, or 6,000 US gallons for both elements.
Filters may need replacement sooner depending on water quality. This volume does not correspond to a fixed duration in years. Note your consumption and maintain the elements during their period of use.
The reference is specific to Black Berkey® BB9-2. It should not be applied to Phoenix or PF-2™.
Black Berkey® elements use a proprietary blend of filter media. The manufacturer publishes third-party laboratory tests including chlorine, certain metals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds and perfluorinated compounds.
Results should be read substance by substance and under test conditions. Testing following an NSF/ANSI protocol does not, in itself, mean that the product has NSF certification.
THE CONTENTS OF THIS OFFER
The Imperial Berkey® can accommodate up to 6 Berkey PF-2™, with a post-filter by Black Berkey® in service. These optional accessories, sold separately, target fluorides and certain forms of arsenic. Their installation modifies the flow rate and requires their own maintenance.
FIRST USE
DAILY
The manufacturer recommends regular maintenance of the lower tank and the tap, approximately every 30 days as needed. Remove the elements before cleaning the tanks.
If the flow rate decreases, the Black Berkey® can be surface cleaned under water then primed again according to the instructions. Do not use soap or detergent on the filter elements. Protect wet filters from freezing.
CHECK MOUNTING POINTS
Red food coloring test checks assembly and internal leaks, especially around gaskets, filters and caps. It does not alone measure the filtration efficiency on all contaminants.
Remove the PF-2™ before this test if they are installed. Use the coloring and dosage in the instructions. If a red or pink tint persists after checking the assembly, contact our customer service.
TIPS FOR USE
For daily use, use cold or room temperature drinking water. The system is not for use with salt water, hot water or water from a salt softener.
Water of unknown origin may present particular risks. The advertised capacities do not guarantee the potability of any raw water or the removal of all pathogens.
