Description
The Black Berkey Primer℠is a hand-powered priming pump that makes it possible
to prime Black Berkey℠Elements easily offline, without the need for faucets
or hose connections. Priming the Black Berkey℠Elements saturates the filters
with water prior to their use, allowing for clean water production anywhere.
The Black Berkey Primer℠also purges (or back-flushes) the Black Berkeyâ„
Elements using air instead of water to clean the proprietary pores of the
compressed carbon filter wall. Purging the Black Berkey℠Elements accomplishes
two tasks: (1) It clears the pores of debris that has accumulated with use,
(2) reduces the amount of time & effort needed to dry the filters prior to
storing them. In addition, those who may be having difficulty priming their
elements in a small sink, can use the Black Berkey Primer℠instead. With a
Black Berkey℠Element properly immersed in water & attached to it, the Black
Berkey Primer℠creates a simple pressure gradient which draws water into the
center of each Black Berkey℠Element. Once the Black Berkey℠Element is
completely saturated with water, it passes through the Black Berkey Primerâ„
and squirts out of the opposite end. Every owner of a Berkey Water System
which uses Black Berkey℠Elements will find it easier to prime and purge the
filters, wherever the Berkeyis used. The Black Berkey Primer℠is the final
piece in making your Berkey Water System your off-grid solution for clean
drinking water and for everyday use. In addition, if you have a small sink or
short faucet, the Black Berkey Primer℠makes it easy to prime your Black
Berkey℠Elements. Black Berkey Primer℠can be cleaned with a proper dilution
of natural cleaning products, or mild soap and warm water. Components should
be thoroughly rinsed & allowed to air dry prior to storage in a cool, dark, &
dry place. Keep out of exposure from direct sunlight as UV light will
breakdown the product. Do not microwave.
