Water Filters
“Simply the Best”
Notes:
1) If the system is left to stand for more than 3 days, it
is recommended that any water left in the lower
chamber be run to waste and the water filtered during
the first 1 minute also be run to waste.
2) When installing filter elements for the first time or
replacing used elements, it is important to condition the
new filters using the below procedure.
WARNING: Failure to read, thoroughly understand, and follow all instructions may result
in personal injury, water damage, or voiding of the warranty! It is the assembler’s
responsibility to make sure all components are properly assembled and installed using
®
the instructions provided. While your Berkey system should not have any leaking
problems, there is always the chance that a leak might occur due to being improperly
assembled or perhaps a faulty part. In an overabundance of caution, we recommend that
for the first 24 hours the filled system be placed in an area wherein if such a leak were to
occur, the resulting spillage would not damage anything within the household.
