How The Berkey Light™ The Ultimate Water Filter Operates   The Berkey Light's™ unique design combines the age-old process of micro-porous filtration coupled with modem state-of-the-art technology and the highest quality materials to bring you the finest water filtration System available anywhere. To use, water is poured into the upper chamber. Gravity draws this water through the exclusive Black Berkey™ filter elements. Contaminants are captured on and within the micro-porous filter element and are separated from the water. Each durable and effi-cient elements can be cleaned with a toothbrush and last for up to 2,000 gallons. What's more, the unique Black Berkey™ filter elements are self -sterilizing. The filtered water then collects in the lower chamber where it can be drawn through the spigot. Often it is desirable to refill the upper chamber while some of the water from the previous cycle remains in the lower chamber. With non transparent or opaque systems the upper chamber must be removed from the lower chamber. This is inconvenient and messy because water continues to drip from the filter elements as the user checks for water levels in the lower chamber. This is especially difficult in no or low light conditions. If the user does not check the water level there is a risk that the upper chamber will be overfilled and later cause the lower chamber to overflow. The Berkey Light™ solves this problem with its transparent design. The user is able to see the water level in both chambers at all times. The system is joined together during use allowing the Berkey Light™ to be moved while it is filtering. This can be important when the Berkey Light™ is used in an area for food preparation and later needed in a dining area. The system can also be disjoined for cleaning, maintenance and transport etc.	PATHOGENIC BACTERIA CYSTS & PARASITES Removal to non-detectable levels E.

Drinking water may contain lead, high levels of harmful bacteria, herbicides, pesticides and other unwanted chemicals. Frequently these produce unpleasant tastes and odors. Even bottled water can contain these same contami-nants, and moreover it is very expensive. Other filtration systems are inferior. Most do not remove pathogenic bacteria, harmful chemicals and minerals and many remove the beneficial minerals from the water. Replacement Filters $48.00ea.  $95.00 pair

PF-2  POST FILTER REDUCTION ELEMENT

PF-2             reduction elements are designed for use in conjunction with Berkey Light   water filters to adsorb the following four unwanted elements most commonly found in drinking water. ·                     MTBE (Methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether) ·                     Fluoride ·                     Lead ·                     Arsenic   PF-2filters are also designed to adsorb: ·                     DBCP (Dibromo-chloro-propane) ·                     THM’s (trihalomethanes) ·                     Herbicides & Pesticides  ·                     Heavy Metal ions   INSTALLATION: Assemble the water filter as per the water filter assembly instruction. On the underside of the upper chamber locate the stem of each ceramic filter (do not remove the wing nut holding the ceramic filter in place). With clean hands, remove blue caps and screw a PF-2 filter onto each filter stem (the blue arrow should point away from upper chamber) giving five full revolutions. Do not screw more than five revolutions as this may damage the internal media screen. When complete, seat upper chamber on top of the lower chamber. Fill upper reservoir. When the lower reservoir is full, discard the first batch of water, which may contain process dust. (Note: when lower chamber is full of water, the PF-2 filters will be immersed).   TECHNICAL INFORMATION: MTBE: The PF-2 is manufactured to exceed ANSI/NSF Standard 53 which requires that MTBE be reduced by at least two thirds from an influent rate (water going in) of 15ppb to an effluent rate (water going out) of less than 5ppb (> 95% reduction*). LEAD: Tests have shown that when 2000 gallon of influent water at a concentration of lead of 150-200 ppb pass through 200 grams of media at a flow rate of 1gpm, the lead level was reduced to less than 1ppb (>99% reduction). FLOURIDE: Testing for fluoride was based on 20-30ppm of the ion in the influent aqueous solution at a flow rate of no more than 3 gpm per cubic foot of media. Results of < 1ppm of the fluoride ion in the effluent were typical for the media (>95% reduction). Under optimum conditions, effluent concentrations of less than 50 ppb were readily achieved (>99.75% reduction).   REPLACEMENT: Under normal conditions it is recommended that PF-2 elements be replaced at six-month intervals ( Actual capacity is dependent on the presence of other competing contaminants in the source water. High levels of total organic carbons, volatile organic compounds or certain inorganic minerals may reduce the capacity and efficiency of these elements. )*. Note: do not boil this element.

MTBE (Methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether) is the most common oxygenated fuel additive used in reformulated gasoline. Contamination of groundwater with MTBE is a rapidly growing problem in 49 U.S. states. In drinking water, even trace amounts of MTBE can cause taste and odor problems, which may lead to nausea and dizziness. The potential long-term health effects of MTBE are not understood at this time, however, initial studies indicate MTBE may cause kidney and liver problems. MTBE removal from water is a challenge because it is very soluble in water and must compete with other organics for binding sites on the filter medium. These other contaminants (BTEX - and TOC - total organic carbons) are adsorbed more readily, and MTBE often slips by standard carbon filters, ending up in the filtered water. The PF-4 filter has been specifically designed to remove MTBE from drinking water when used in conjunction with a British Berkefeld gravity filter system. The media within the Super Sterasyl filters, in the upper chamber, capture the more strongly adsorbed BTEX and TOC's. This permits the downstream PFE-1, secured as a post filter, to more efficiently remove MTBE PF-2 add on filters $49.00 pair
