How do the Berkey® filters work to eliminate toxins?
The Black Berkey® purification elements combine the age-old process of micro-porous filtration coupled with modern state-of-the-art technology and the highest quality materials to bring you the finest water purification elements available. The micro-pores within the self-sterilizing and re-cleanable Black Berkey® purification elements are so small that pathogenic bacteria are simply not able to pass through them. The elements incorporate proprietary “adsorption” media, which results from the molecular attraction of substances to the surface of the media. Black Berkey® purification elements also incorporate proprietary “absorbing” media that promote IONIC “absorption” of pollutants within the micro-porous elements.
