These newly formulated Berkey Phoenix Gravity Filter Elements New Millennium Edition meet and exceed the high quality standards that our customers have always demanded. Independently certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN standards, they’re engineered to remove over 200 contaminants, can last for years, and deliver exceptional water quality for your family. Backed by over a year of research, development, and rigorous testing with Phoenix Gravity Filters, this is an entirely new Berkey filter, created with a fresh design and new performance standards. Like the Black Berkeys, these Berkey Phoenix New Millennium Edition Filter Elements will not remove the essential healthy minerals, like calcium and magnesium, that your body needs! Berkey Phoenix Filter Overview & Key Benefits Certified Performance: NSF/ANSI 42 (Aesthetic Effects) and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 (Lead) Certification Tested by: NABL, ISO 9001, ISO 17025 accredited third-party labs using EPA guidelines and ANSI/NSF protocols and standards Long-Lasting Value: Up to 5,500 gallons per set of 2 filters. Most families see optimal performance with annual replacement, especially in areas with hard water, sediment, or heavy contaminant loads. Affordable Replacement: Only $120 per pair Universal Fit: Works in all Berkey gravity systems in place of Black Berkey Filters until we are able to make them available again. Both filter versions will be still available at that point in time. Flow Rate: Up to 4.2 gallons per hour per pair (with the upper chamber full); larger systems like Imperial and Crown Berkey achieve higher throughput with additional filter pairs installed Fluoride Reduction: While the Phoenix filters have fluoride reduction capability; PF-2 filters still recommended for consistent fluoride removal Prime-Easy™ Design: Quick and simple setup for first-time users Phoenix Filter Test Results Phoenix Complete Contaminant List (Full 200+ Compound Reference) Complete Berkey Phoenix Testing Results Overview Berkey Phoenix VOCs, Pesticides, Heavy Metals Testing Berkey Phoenix PFAS, Radiologicals, Petroleum Testing Berkey Phoenix Pesticide and Pharmaceutical Testing Berkey Phoenix Long Term PFAS Removal Testing (1500 Liters) Certified for Confidence Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements are certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42, ensuring the reduction of non-health-related contaminants such as chlorine, chloramines, and particulates that can affect taste and odor. They are also certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 372, verifying compliance with lead reduction standards. This certification aligns with the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and its lead-free plumbing requirements, as well as the regulations of individual U.S. states. The “CAN” designation denotes Canada, reflecting collaboration between Health Canada, NSF, and ANSI in developing these safety standards for products that come into contact with drinking water.

More about the Berkey Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition Filter Elements The Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition Filters are not replacements for the Black Berkey Elements, but rather an NMCL-endorsed alternative available while Black Berkey Elements remain temporarily unavailable for purchase. (NMCL is the owner of the Berkey brand.) Although the Black Berkey Elements provide slightly more advanced filtration and remove a broader range of contaminants (some at higher reduction levels), the Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition Filters is the closest alternative on the market offering reliable performance and excellent value.

Will Phoenix filters fit my existing Berkey system? Yes. Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition Filter Elements are direct drop-in replacements for Black Berkey Elements and are compatible with all Berkey stainless steel gravity filter systems including the Travel Berkey, Big Berkey, Royal Berkey, Imperial Berkey, and Crown Berkey. They use the same mounting holes and the standard wing nut and washer hardware that came with your system. The same priming process applies as with Black Berkey Elements. What is the difference between Phoenix and Black Berkey filters? Both are gravity filtration elements made by New Millennium Concepts, Ltd. (NMCL) and use activated carbon-based media in a tortuous-path microfiltration design. The core differences are: Phoenix filters carry NSF/ANSI 42 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 certifications, while Black Berkey elements are independently lab tested to NSF/ANSI standards. Phoenix lasts up to 5,500 gallons per pair compared to 6,000 for Black Berkey. Phoenix is priced at $120 per pair vs. $166 for Black Berkey. For day-to-day use, the two filters are functionally equivalent and fully interchangeable across all Berkey stainless steel systems. Are Phoenix filters NSF certified? Yes. Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition Filter Elements are certified to NSF/ANSI 42 (aesthetic effects including chlorine, chloramines, and particulates that affect taste and odor) and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 (lead reduction and lead-free compliance per the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act). Testing was conducted by NABL-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified laboratories. Lab reports are publicly available on the Phoenix lab results page. How long do Phoenix filters last? Phoenix filters are rated for 5,500 gallons per set of 2 elements (2,750 gallons per filter). For a typical household using 1 to 3 gallons of filtered water per day, that translates to several years of use before replacement. Most families see optimal performance with annual replacement, especially in areas with hard water, sediment, or heavy contaminant loads. Lifespan can be extended by periodically scrubbing the exterior of the elements under cold running water when flow rate slows. Do Phoenix filters remove fluoride? Phoenix filters have fluoride reduction capability, but PF-2 fluoride filters are still recommended for consistent fluoride removal across the full life of the elements. Carbon-based media loses fluoride reduction capability relatively quickly, typically after a few hundred gallons. PF-2 elements use activated alumina, which has a natural chemical affinity for fluoride and arsenic, and provide reliable fluoride reduction for up to 1,000 gallons per set. The PF-2 attaches to the bottom of each Phoenix element in the lower chamber. Where are Phoenix filters manufactured? Phoenix filters are manufactured in India through NMCL's partnership with the Phoenix gravity filtration engineering team. The factory holds ISO 9001 certification for quality management and the WQA Gold Seal for water treatment product safety and performance. These certifications require rigorous internal, external, annual surveillance, and triennial recertification audits. India is recognized worldwide for innovation in gravity and ceramic filtration because engineers there design solutions for some of the toughest water conditions on earth.

Independent testing has confirmed that the New Millennium Edition Filters effectively reduce over 100 additional contaminants beyond what the standard Phoenix Carbon Filters claim. It’s important to note the distinction in product naming, specifically, “New Millennium Edition.” This version has been exclusively manufactured for New Millennium Concepts, Ltd. (NMCL) and going forward the only filter officially endorsed by NMCL for use in Berkey Water Systems as an approved alternative to the Black Berkey Elements (BB9-2). By contrast, Phoenix Gravity Carbon Filters are not endorsed by NMCL for use in Berkey Water Systems. Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements are NSF certified to NSF/ANSI 42 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372. Certification and lab documentation are publicly available on our Phoenix Filter Lab Results page. The Berkey Phoenix Filters, NMCL Edition, are manufactured in India through our partnership with the Phoenix gravity filtration engineering team. India is recognized worldwide for innovation in gravity and ceramic filtration, largely because engineers there design solutions for some of the toughest water conditions on earth. This collaboration allows us to deliver a reliable, high-performance, high-quality filter using advanced manufacturing techniques, and at a lower cost to you. Phoenix filters are engineered to operate at a higher flow rate than Black Berkeys. This increase remains fully within the validated tolerance levels for the system and has no impact on achieving the stated filtration standards.
