The BOROUX Automatic Filter Primer Pump simplifies the priming process of the BOROUX Foundation\u2122 Black elements<\/a>, Black Berkey filters<\/a> or BOROUX Proactive\u2122 Fluoride Filters<\/a> and transforms a tedious task into a quick and effortless 90-second process. On a full battery, this primer pump can carry out at least 10 priming cycles. Prime your filters quickly and efficiently, without needing a tap of the right size or running the risk of splashing. Simply fit the filters into the primer pump, press a button and voil\u00e0\u2026 Enjoy clean, clear water from the very first use!<\/p>\n

This new priming method is a more consistent way of ensuring a perfectly primed filter every time!
\n <\/p>\n

What is priming?<\/h3>\n

Priming the filters involves saturating them completely with water before use. This is essential for the filters to function properly. Both the BOROUX Foundation\u2122 Black elements<\/a>, Black Berkey filters<\/a> The BOROUX Proactive\u2122 Fluoride Filters are made from, amongst other things, activated carbon, which has tiny pores. Water must be forced through all the micropores so that all the carbon is wet.
\n <\/p>\n

What happens if I use the filters without priming them?<\/h3>\n

The main problem with failing to prime the filters, or priming them inadequately, is slow flow. The filters work best when they are wet. If they are dry, the water does not flow properly through the micropores. A set of filters typically has a flow rate of around 4 litres per hour. Without proper priming, this can take much longer, or may not happen at all. Priming also helps to remove any dust or production residue. This process flushes it away, which resolves the problem of cloudy water.
\n <\/p>\n

What tools are available for priming?<\/h3>\n

To prime the surface, you can use a Priming Button<\/a> (a small rubber ring) or the PrimeRite<\/a> (a blue rubber nozzle). These tools allow you to flush the filter element using a tap. They are supplied as standard with the BOROUX Foundation\u2122 Black elements<\/a>, Black Berkey filters<\/a> and BOROUX Proactive\u2122 Fluoride Filters<\/a> Supplied in the box. If you\u2019ve lost them, you can order them separately from us. If priming using the tap doesn\u2019t work, if the tap isn\u2019t suitable, or if you simply want to make things easier for yourself, you can use this BOROUX Automatic Filter Primer Pump or the Black Berkey Primer<\/a>.

How does the BOROUX Automatic Filter Primer Pump work?<\/h3>\n

Fit one filter into the base of the pump. To fit the filter element, remove the wing nut, but leave the ring in place. Then screw the filter into the primer pump. If you wish to prime the BOROUX Proactive\u2122 Fluoride Filters, first attach the blue priming adapter and the blue priming ring, then screw them into the pump. Fill the lower chamber of your water filter with water. Hook the primer pump with the filter element onto the rim of the lower tank, whilst the filter is submerged in the water. Make sure the water level is exactly at the water line marked on the pump. Switch on the pump and then press the prime button on top. A countdown timer will start and stop automatically after 90 seconds. Unscrew your filter element as soon as the pump has finished and it is primed!<\/p>\n
