• Includes the only currently officially endorsed BB9-2 replacement filter - This authentic Big Berkey® system includes two Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements - the ONLY replacement filter currently officially endorsed by New Millennium Concepts, Ltd. for use in Berkey® water systems in lieu of Black Berkey® Elements (BB9-2). Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements may also be used with authentic Berkey PF-2® Fluoride and Arsenic Reduction Elements for enhanced fluoride and arsenic reduction.
• NSF 42 & 372 certified filters - The included Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements are certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 to reduce non-health-related contaminants (aesthetic impurities and particulates that affect taste and odor), and certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 372 which is consistent with the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and its lead-free plumbing requirements.
• Broad array of contaminant reduction, independently tested - Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements have been tested by independent, accredited third-party laboratories to remove or reduce 200+ typical waterborne contaminants in U.S./global municipal water supplies.

Each pair of Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements can filter up to 5,500 gallons before replacement is recommended. Two additional Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements (for a maximum of four total) may be added to this system to speed up the flow rate and double the number of gallons before filter replacement is recommended.

How to set up

1. Prime the elements. Stretch the included PrimeEasy™ Universal Primer over your faucet, attach each element and run cold water through it to flush out carbon dust and push air out of the pores.
2. Install. Fit each element through the upper chamber with its washer and wing nut, hand tight. Plug any unused holes with the blocking plugs.
3. Run the red dye test. Add up to 1/8 tsp (10 drops) of red food coloring per gallon of system capacity to the upper chamber. If the filtered water comes out clear, everything is sealed and working. Use red coloring only - natural or organic dyes can give a false fail. Remove any PF-2 elements before testing.
4. Fill the upper chamber and enjoy. Gravity does the rest - no power or plumbing needed.
