Prime Service - The first step in preparing a Berkey water filter is to prime Berkey filter elements. It is important that this is done properly, otherwise water purification will take a very long time. Priming should be done before inserting the so Berkey elements into the Berkey water filter. Priming involves forcing some water through the element under a slight pressure to ensure that the Berkey purification element gets wet inside (air goes out of the element). As a result, you benefit from considerable filtering speed from each element. For priming, you can use a Priming Button, a small rubber ring that allows you to run the element on a tap. This is supplied as standard with the Berkey filter elements. On our page with Berkey instructional videos you can see how priming works.

However, you can also choose to have us do it for you: the Prime Service. Indeed, priming is a process that takes some time to get the hang of and can therefore be a bit tricky. Also, not every tap is suitable for priming. Of course, you can also opt for the Black Berkey primer, this is a tool that means you no longer need a tap for priming. However, if you don't feel like doing all this, choose our Prime Service.
 

Our Prime Service

With the Prime Service, we prime the Black Berkey filter elements and/or Fluoride & Arsenic (PF-2) filter elements before they are dispatched. Should you have included both the Black Berkey filter elements and the Fluoride & Arsenic (PF-2) filter elements in an order, you will of course only need to order Prime Service once. We prime everything in 1 go for the same price. This of course also applies if you have ordered multiple sets of the same filter elements.

So we take them out of the packaging, clean them and then prime them. With the Black Berkey filter elements, we then also immediately test if they pass the red dye test and if the filter speed is right. If everything is OK, we let them drain for a while and then they go straight into the packaging and your order is dispatched. When they arrive, you then don't need to prime them as they are still moist enough. You still need to rinse them with cold water. After that, you can insert them directly into your Berkey water filter!
 

PLEASE NOTE: You cannot order this service if you live in a country other than the Netherlands and Belgium. The delivery time will then be too long, which means there is a good chance the filters will be too dry again and the priming will have to be done again.
