Berkey Water Filters Priming Starter Kit

Berkey Water Filters Priming Starter Kit – This kit is ideal for Berkey users to help with priming the Black Berkey filter cartridges, assembling the water filter correctly and checking that everything is fitted properly.

The Priming Starter Kit contains the following items:

● 1x PrimeRite Universal Primer: a handy tool for the Black Berkey filter cartridges to prime it using the tap.
● 1x PrimeRite Fluoride & Arsenic filter adapter: an adapter that also allows you to use the Fluoride & Arsenic filters easy to prime.
● 1x Anti-Airlock Clip (Vapor Lock Clip): sometimes a Berkey water filter creates a vacuum in the lower chamber; this clip prevents this from happening and is easy to fit onto the rim of the lower chamber.
● 2 small bottles of red food colouring: you can use the red food colouring to check whether you have assembled your Berkey water filter correctly, either the first time or after cleaning it. For this test, please also see our instructional videos.

The first step in setting up a Berkey water filter is, in fact, to prime the Black Berkey filter cartridges. It is important that this is done correctly, otherwise it will take a very long time to purify the water. Priming must be carried out before you insert the Black Berkey elements into the Berkey water filter. Priming involves forcing a small amount of water through the cartridge under slight pressure to ensure that the inside of the Black Berkey purification cartridge becomes wet (air is expelled from the cartridge). This allows you to benefit from the full filtration rate of each cartridge. To prime the cartridges, you can use a Priming Button, a small rubber ring that allows the filter element to fit onto a tap. This is supplied as standard with the Black Berkey filter elements in the box. Alternatively, you can use the PrimeRite Universal Primer, which is included in this Priming Starter Kit. In addition, this kit contains an adapter for the Fluoride & Arsenic filters, a Anti-Airlock Clip (Vapor Lock Clip) in case the Berkey water filter happens to create a vacuum, and red dye to check whether the Berkey water filter has been fitted correctly. So you’ll have everything you need for the perfect Berkey experience!
