In theory, Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements have an unlimited shelf life. If you have already used your filter elements, the following applies: for long-term storage, we recommend that you dry the filter elements completely first. Make sure they are bone dry (no more moisture) before storing them for an extended period. Shake excess water off the elements and then let them air dry by placing them on a windowsill or other sunny spot for 3-4 days until they are completely dry. Once the elements are bone dry (no more moisture), store them in a sealable plastic bag (of at least 4 litres) - this will prevent the filter elements from absorbing odours. When you want to reuse your filter elements, clean them by scrubbing the outside with a hard brush or a (Scotch-Brite) scouring pad under cold running water. Then prime the filter elements again before replacing them in your water filter.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

If the flow decreases and\/or there is dirt, scale or mineral deposits on the outside of the filter elements, follow these instructions to clean them:<\/p>

  1. Empty the water filter and remove the Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements from the top tray of your water filter.<\/li>\n\n
  2. Carefully scrub the elements with a hard brush or a (Scotch-Brite) scouring pad under cold running water (never use soap or other cleaners on the filter elements).<\/li>\n\n
  3. Prime the filter elements again and replace them in your gravity water filter.<\/li>\n\n
  4. Finally, fill the booby tray of your gravity water filter and perform a test with red food colouring, as described in the filters' instructions, to check that the filter elements are correctly fitted and that there are no internal leaks or damage.<\/li><\/ol>

    The maximum flow rate of the Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements is approximately 15 litres per hour when using 2 filters. The flow rate is calculated with the upper chamber fully filled. The flow rate decreases as the water level decreases. In addition, the filtration rate increases when used in larger gravity fed water systems, such as the Imperial Berkey\u00ae and Crown Berkey\u2122 water filters.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

    Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements and Black Berkey\u00ae elements are designed to remove heavy metals, but do not remove mineral salts, which are added by a water softener. Using softened water in systems equipped with Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements and\/or Black Berkey\u00ae elements will prematurely clog the pores and reduce the filter's absorption capacity. We therefore do not recommend using softened water with your Berkey\u00ae system and\/or these filters. Using softened water in your Berkey\u00ae system (with any of these filter elements) will void the warranty.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

    Laboratory tests show that Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements initially reduce fluoride in drinking water up to 75.5%. However, carbon-based elements that reduce fluoride typically lose this ability quite quickly. Therefore, Berkey PF-2\u00ae fluoride & arsenic filter elements<\/a> be used in combination with Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements to reduce fluoride to a use of 3,750 litres or 1 year.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

    Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements contain a dense and compact matrix of millions of microscopic pores. These pores form a \"tortuous path\" that traps sludge, sediment, colloids (turbidity), rust, etc., as well as the undissolved forms of herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, etc., and prevents them from penetrating through the pores into the filter wall - a process known as microfiltration.<\/p>

    In addition, the adsorption properties of the activated carbon adsorb and bind organic pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), man-made substances, compounds and chemicals, such as perfluorinated \"forever chemicals\" (PFAS, PFOA and PFOS), industrial and toxic chemicals (SOCs), disinfectants, pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals and chlorine; some inorganic elements and compounds are reduced, such as various heavy metals. This process is enhanced by a longer contact time, where the water is gently pulled through the filter by gravity. This creates a longer interaction with the medium and efficiently removes contaminants. This removes or reduces contaminants and improves the taste and odour of the filtered drinking water.<\/p>

    This media formula contains high-quality CTC 60 coconut husk carbon, which is activated in a controlled high-temperature environment to develop millions of micropores. This process exponentially increases the surface area and absorption capacity, allowing the media to effectively absorb and trap a wide range of waterborne contaminants and impurities. The media mixture is then formed and sintered with precise compression and heat to fuse the media particles into a dense, yet super-porous filter for effective contaminant reduction with impressive water throughput results.<\/p>

And since it is done in the same manner as the Black Berkey\u00ae Elements, you can also refer to the following article for more detailed information and instructions: How do I know if my filters are working correctly? - Red dye test<\/a><\/p>

      Laboratory tests show that Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements initially reduce fluoride in drinking water up to 75.5%. However, carbon-based elements that reduce fluoride typically lose this ability quite quickly. Therefore, Berkey PF-2\u00ae fluoride & arsenic filter elements<\/a> be used in combination with Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements to reduce fluoride to a use of 3,750 litres or 1 year.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

      Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition\u2122 filter elements are not designed to remove useful, healthy minerals from your water. Because the natural filtration process leaves essential minerals such as magnesium and calcium in the water, the filter does NOT change total dissolved solids (TDS). So the TDS remains unchanged, but a TDS value says NOTHING about water quality. For more information, read the frequently asked question: \"What do the results of a TDS meter say?\"<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>
