Filtered water collects in the lower chamber and is dispensed through the spigot. Simply fill the upper chamber, allow gravity to do the work, and dispense filtered water as needed. Black Berkey® Elements The Crown Berkey® comes standard with 2 Black Berkey® Elements and can be expanded to hold up to 8 elements. Black Berkey® Elements are designed to reduce a broad range of potential contaminants commonly found in drinking water supplies, including: Lead and mercury Chlorine and chloramines VOCs Trihalomethanes (THMs) Pharmaceutical residues Petroleum-related compounds Rust, sediment, and particulates Radiological contaminants The elements are also designed to retain beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Each Black Berkey® Element is rated for approximately 3,000 gallons of filtration. With two elements installed, replacement is generally recommended after approximately 6,000 gallons of use.
