How to Use the Carbon Filter

Follow these simple steps to prepare, install, and use your carbon filter correctly.

Step 01

Prime the Carbon Filter

2
Make sure the washer and wing nut are positioned securely before connecting the filter to the faucet.
3
Rinse the carbon filter for at least 60 seconds, or until the water runs clear.
Tip: Priming helps flush loose carbon particles before the filter is installed.

How It Works

How Gravity Filtration Works

Water flows from the upper chamber through the filter elements by gravity, then collects in the lower chamber and is ready to dispense.

1. Add Water

Pour water into the upper chamber. No electricity or plumbing is required.

2. Gravity Pulls Water Down

Water naturally moves through the filter elements by gravity.

3. Filtered Water Collects Below

Filtered water collects in the lower chamber and is ready to pour from the spigot.

Water Flow Becomes Slower

If filtering takes much longer than usual, clean or replace the filters as needed.

Taste or Odor Returns

Source Water Matters

Rain, river, stream, or well water may shorten filter life compared with regular tap water.

Works Great

The 2 filters fits perfectly in my Berkey water tank. It filters the water just fine and the flow rate is good

Average.

First off, Berkey got in trouble for over-promising on their stats of water filtration. An off brand like this is even less likely to have decent filtering. In my experience these filters filter twice as fast as Berkeys, which you may think is nice, but to me indicates it filters less. Take caution with these filters.

Work well

Flow rate on these is great. They were easy to prime and install. I feel that these work just as well as the more expensive filters. Water taste is just as good.

Perfect fit

I bought a Berkey off Marketplace so I needed filters for it. I ordered these, watched some YouTube videos, charged them and installed. They fit great, water went through fine so these are great replacements, especially since Berkey isn't selling the filters right now. Highly recommend though I do admit I don't have the testers to see if these filter out all the contaminants but I'm having faith that they are better than nothing and the Berkey holds more than my zero water filter pitcher so this is more convenient for when I have guests.

Great Value Carbon Filters for Clean Water

This 2 pack of carbon filters are a fantastic replacement for many gravity water systems and offers excellent value at a fraction of the cost of name brand options. Made from coconut shells, they effectively reduce contaminants like chlorine, lead, mercury, and more, ensuring safe and clean drinking water.

The filters are easy to install and require only hand tightening to secure them. Although nothing was included about priming and flushing rhe filter before use, I still scrubbed it down with water as I have with every filter like this I have ever used. Each filter can handle up to 3,000 gallons, so with this 2 pack, you'll get 6,000 gallons of filtered water.

I am using these in my Propur travel filter and they work great. After priming, they have consistently provided clean, great tasting water, and the filtering process is simple and straightforward. They are a solid choice for those looking for reliable filtration without the premium price tag.

Not an exact match to a Berkey filter.

I got these filters for our Berkey. They appear to be able to work. They aren't an exact match as they are a bit shorter, not that that may matter, but just to let others know that it isn't an 'exact' match. I do see that these are now showing as 'unavailable'.

Filters

I haven't needed to switch out my filters yet, but these seems perfect! They are the right size and style that we need for ours. I have no doubt that they will work. We always test our water with strips, so if they aren't doing what they're supposed to, I will come back and edit this.

Activated Carbon Gravity Filters

This pair of Activated Carbon Gravity Water Filters are NSF/ANSI Certified and are excellent in performance for safe drinking water.
Perfect replacement filters for many gravity water systems and at a fraction of the cost of name brand filters making them an outstanding value.
Capable of effectively filtering up to 6000 Gallons of water before replacing them depending on the quality of the source water filtered, the clearer the source water the better. Yes, these are ideal for extraordinary clean drinking water production with long filtration usage.
These need to be flushed and primed before use with the included brown colored washer, detailed Instructions are included too.
Installation is very easy to accomplish by hand tightening the mounting nuts on the stems of the filters with their washers to seal the connections, again after a good flush and priming.
Excellent quality and Value!

Made from Coconut Shell, Filters Up to 6,000 Gallons!

These carbon block filter cartridges are great. These filters are made from coconut shell.

They are a perfect fit for our Berkey Light water filtration system.

They reduce many contaminants like Chlorine, Aluminum, Copper, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Nickel, Arsenic, Rust, Sediment, Foul Tastes and Odors. A full list is provided on the box.

Detailed instructions on how to prepare and prime the filters are printed on the box. Make sure to follow the instructions and discard the first batch of water that is filtered. We use a water test kit (not included but we recommend having) to double check the purity of the filtered water.

Each filter has a capability of filtering 3,000 gallons so that totals 6,000 gallons for the two.

There are no instructions about cleaning the filters, but we normally scrub them with a rough sponge and cold water once a month. Make sure not to use any soap or cleaners.

We are pleased with these carbon filters.

.Great alternative water filter filters

I have the largest Berkey water Purfication system that I absolutely love. The only drawback to it is the price of the filters from Berkey themselves. Although the filters last for over 6000 gallons I don't have to change them out very often. However when I do it it's like I'm taking out the national debt when buying them directly from the company. However these filters are much more reasonably priced and they work just as well as the ones from The company do. Although I can't say for sure all the scientific jargon however they the company, state that if you do the red Die test. That is where you put red dye in your water and let the filter filter out the impurities you will have clear water. I put these in the check and make sure they work they do work great they do remove everything for the water and the water taste just the same as it does with the high priced filters. I am very happy with this Know that I will keep them in my packages for replacement of the water. Filters. I usually have to change them about twice a year. They change out my filters in June and the end of December. I stretch it as far as I can because of the cost however with these now I can change them on a much more frequent basis and I plan on acquiring at least one other package of them so that I can keep them in reserve. Great product nice price point and they work

Extra set of filters

Always nice to have a spare set of aftermarket water filters for my Big Berkey. Haven't installed these yet (still have about 6 months left on my current set of filters), but they look pretty much the same from the outside, so should be compatible. Can't comment on water quality yet.

Fit Well

These fit perfectly into our Royal Berkey. Like all filter like this, they are a bit of a pain to prime, but that’s just part of it. They seem to work well, and are filtering as expected. The test will come to see how long they last, but so far, I am pleased with their performance.
