BLEMISHED FILTERS WITH SMALL CHIPS - Performance of elements is not affected
Black Berkey® water filtration elements are more powerful than any other gravity filter element currently available. The Elements have a unique purification capability that is due to their unique structure. The micro- pores within the Black Berkey® Elements are so small that pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them.
- Removes Chlorine, Chloramines, Heavy Metals, Pharmaceuticals, pathogenic bacteria and more!. Examples of heavy metals include mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), thallium (Tl), and lead (Pb)
