BOROUX Foundation™ Black filter elements (2 pieces)

BOROUX Foundation™ Black filter elements fit most popular gravity water filtration systems, including Berkey, British Berkefeld, ProOne, Phoenix, Aqua Logic, Monderma, Pure Filters and Newton, among others. The filter elements last for years and feature Stem Saver technology for extra durability during use and cleaning.

Among other things, these BOROUX filters reduce out over 99% of chlorine, heavy metals, pharmaceutical contaminants (drug residues), pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, plastic & industrial contaminants (PFAS), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microplastics and disinfection contaminants. The essential minerals your body needs are retained in the process.
 

Advanced filtration for healthier living

Advanced filtration technology not only filters the water, it transforms it. By removing more than 99% of harmful contaminants, BOROUX Foundation™ Black filters ensure that your water is as pure and refreshing as nature intended. Every reduction of a contaminant contributes to improving your health and well-being!

The filters include a special blend of activated carbon. The BOROUX Foundation™ Black filter elements contain silver, an antimicrobial agent, to prevent micro-organisms from attacking the product itself. These filters are not designed to filter micro-organisms.
They are also powerful enough to remove red dyes from water without removing the useful minerals your body needs.

Preparing for use
The first step is priming the filter elements. It is important that this is done properly, otherwise purifying the water will take a very long time. For all information on BOROUX water filters, please refer to our library, which includes manuals, instructional videos and answers to frequently asked questions. Should priming with the tap fail, a primer set order from us.
 

Maintenance of the BOROUX Foundation™ Black filter elements

Scrub the BOROUX Foundation™ Black filters every 3-6 months. Gently scrub the surface of the filters for a few minutes with an abrasive sponge. DO NOT use soap or detergents on the filters. Prime the filters again, install them and perform the red dye test to ensure correct installation of the filters.
 

When to replace?

BOROUX Foundation™ Black filters are designed to last for many years. However, we live in different times now than we did a few years ago. The number of contaminants has only increased and have become increasingly severe (think, for example, of PFAS or the hefty increase in drug residues, pesticides, etc.). This has a huge effect on the filters, making it better to replace the filters a bit earlier. We therefore recommend replacing the BOROUX Foundation™ Black filters every 3 years maximum.
