help Berkey Water Filter (Replacement Filters) FAQ
Are Berkey replacement filters a complete water purifier?
No, this item is the consumable filter element, not the stainless-steel chambers or a pitcher. Black Berkey elements are installed in the upper chamber, and the usual replacement pack contains 2 elements. [Berkey filter information](https://berkeyusa.com/product/black-berkey-filters/)
How many gallons do Black Berkey replacement filters last?
Berkey's published guidance rates each Black Berkey element at about 3,000 gallons, or about 6,000 gallons for a pair. Actual life depends on source-water quality and use, and slower flow after cleaning is a sign to consider replacement.
Will these fit a Big Berkey or Travel Berkey?
The listed Black Berkey element is made for systems including Travel, Big, Royal, Imperial, Crown and Berkey Light. Check whether your unit is the Go Berkey, which is commonly supplied with 1 element, and match the thread and washer set before ordering.
Do standard Black Berkey filters remove fluoride?
Do not treat the standard pair as a fluoride cartridge. Berkey sells separate PF-2 fluoride and arsenic reduction elements that work with the Black Berkey elements, so check that the package explicitly includes PF-2.
