Description
The Black Berkey Primerâ is a hand-powered priming pump that makes it possible
to prime Black Berkeyâ Elements easily offline, without the need for faucets
or hose connections. Priming the Black Berkeyâ Elements saturates the filters
with water prior to their use, allowing for clean water production anywhere.
The Black Berkey Primerâ 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 Berkeyâ 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 Primerâ instead. With a
Black Berkeyâ Element properly immersed in water & attached to it, the Black
Berkey Primerâ creates a simple pressure gradient which draws water into the
center of each Black Berkeyâ Element. Once the Black Berkeyâ 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 Berkeyâ Elements will find it easier to prime and purge the
filters, wherever the Berkeyis used. The Black Berkey Primerâ 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 Primerâ makes it easy to prime your Black
Berkeyâ Elements. Black Berkey Primerâ 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.
