Phoenix filter lab results and certifications
Here's what Berkey has published about Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements, in plain English, with links to the source.
NSF/ANSI Standard 42
Certified to reduce non-health-related contaminants - aesthetic impurities and particulates that affect taste and odor.
NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 372
Certified lead-free, consistent with the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and its lead-free plumbing requirements.
Independent lab testing
Tested by NABL, ISO 9000 and ISO 17025 accredited third-party labs using EPA guidelines and ANSI/NSF protocols to remove or reduce 200+ typical non-biological waterborne contaminants found in municipal water supplies.
What was tested
According to Berkey, Phoenix elements were tested against a broad array of typical non-biological waterborne contaminants found in U.S. and global municipal water supplies, including:
- Perfluorinated "forever chemicals" (PFAS, PFOA & PFOS)
- Synthetic organic compounds - industrial and agricultural chemicals (SOCs)
- Heavy metals
- Pharmaceuticals
- Volatile organic contaminants (VOCs)
- Bad odors and tastes

How to read lab results
- Lab tests typically use water spiked with high levels of a contaminant, so results show reduction capability rather than what's in your tap.
- "Below detection limit" means the lab's instruments couldn't measure any remaining amount.
- NSF/ANSI 42 covers taste, odor and aesthetic contaminants. It is not a health-effects certification.
