As all good things come to an end, so do Berkey water filter elements. And when that happens, it's time for a replacement. Each type of Berkey system offers replacement elements when current elements are no longer filtering to their capacity. Here are the types of replacement elements you might need for your filter.

• Black Berkey purification elements are made for each of the stainless steel filters (from Travel Berkey to Crown Berkey) and for Berkey Light. These powerful elements remove a long list of harmful substances, including pathogenic bacteria, parasites, VOCs, and heavy metals like lead and mercury. A set of two filters will produce the purest water possible for 6,000 gallons. They not only give you healthier water but they last longer than any water filter you buy at your local convenience store.
• Berkey's PF-2 fluoride and arsenic elements are essential to make sure your family isn't consuming these toxic chemicals in your drinking water. Fluoride and arsenic are both dangerous and too much consumption can cause sickness, even as severe as leading to death. These elements can be used with any of Berkey's multi-use purification systems and will filter efficiently for 1,000 gallons under normal conditions.
• The KDF Shower Filter reduces up to 95% of chlorine and 98% of water soluble heavy metals, giving you a chemical-free shower. This Berkey element needs to be replaced after one year or 10,000 gallons, whichever comes first.
• Sport Berkey's portable water purifier allows you easy access to clean water in any environment. The lifespan of its filter depends on the main water source used. For water from any source, mainly remote settings, the refill capacity is 160. For use mostly with municipal water, Sport Berkey can be refilled 640 times before replacement is necessary.

For your Berkey water filter to reach its highest standards of purification, it's important to replace the elements when needed. Berkey filters last longer than other purification systems elements, saving you money and time. Most of all, updated Berkey elements keep your family healthy and drinking the cleanest water on the planet.
