Priming should be done before applying the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternatievemiddelen.nl\/en\/products\/black-berkey-water-filter-elements\/\">Black Berkey elements<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternatievemiddelen.nl\/en\/products\/boroux-foundation-black-filter-elements\/\">BOROUX Foundation\u2122 Black elements<\/a> in the water filter into service. Priming involves squeezing some water through the element under a small pressure to ensure that the Black Berkey filter element gets wet inside (air goes out of the element). As a result, you benefit from hefty volume rates from each element.<\/p>\n<p>To prime, you can use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternatievemiddelen.nl\/en\/products\/priming-button-black-berkey-elements\/\">Priming Button<\/a> (a small rubber ring) or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternatievemiddelen.nl\/en\/products\/berkey-primerrite-universal-primer-pf-2-adapter\/\">PrimeRite<\/a> (a blue rubber spout). With these instruments, you can drain the filter element, using a tap. These are supplied as standard with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternatievemiddelen.nl\/en\/products\/black-berkey-water-filter-elements\/\">Black Berkey elements<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternatievemiddelen.nl\/en\/products\/boroux-foundation-black-filter-elements\/\">BOROUX Foundation\u2122 Black elements<\/a> delivered in the box. Should you lose them, they can be reordered separately from us. If priming with the tap does not work or the tap is not suitable, you can use the Black Berkey Primer offered here or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alternatievemiddelen.nl\/en\/products\/boroux-automatic-filter-primer-pump\/\">BOROUX Automatic Filter Primer Pump<\/a>.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Black Berkey Primer<\/h3>\n<p>The Black Berkey Primer is a hand-driven primer pump that allows easy priming of Black Berkey or BOROUX Foundation\u2122 Black elements without the need for a tap or other water supply. Priming saturates the elements with water before use, this allows water to be well purified over the entire element and has sufficient speed. To use the primer, immerse the filter element in water and attach the primer to the stem of the element. Squeezing the bulb will draw the water to the centre of the filter element. Once the element is saturated, the water runs through the primer and comes out the other side. The Black Berkey- or BOROUX Foundation\u2122 Black element is ready for use.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Berkey Primer can also clean (or backwash) elements with air instead of water. This cleans the perforated pores of the carbon filter wall. Cleaning the elements results in two things: (1) it removes dirt from the pores that has accumulated there during use, and (2) it reduces the time needed to dry the filters before storing them.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Black Berkey Primer allows easy priming of Black Berkey or BOROUX Foundation\u2122 Black filter elements without the need for a tap.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":31236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2971,3099,3013],"product_tag":[2961,2974,3706,2976,3098,3026,3027,3028,3030,2885,2979,3012,2980,2981],"merk":[3432,3702],"class_list":{"0":"post-34414","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-waterfilters","7":"product_cat-waterfilter-elementen","8":"product_cat-waterfilter-accessoires","9":"product_tag-berkey","10":"product_tag-black-berkey","11":"product_tag-boroux","12":"product_tag-filterelement","13":"product_tag-pomp","14":"product_tag-primen","15":"product_tag-primer","16":"product_tag-reinigen","17":"product_tag-set","18":"product_tag-water","19":"product_tag-waterfilter","20":"product_tag-waterfilters","21":"product_tag-waterzuivering","22":"product_tag-zuiver","23":"merk-berkey","24":"merk-boroux","26":"first","27":"instock","28":"taxable","29":"shipping-taxable","30":"purchasable","31":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":["34363","34412","34413"],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[44176,34341,34462,47576,47890],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1 -
