Black Berkey Primer is a hand pump that makes it easy to prime Black Berkey filter elements without the need for faucet pressure or when there is not enough room under the faucet to easily prime filters. Priming Black Berkey purification elements is a must in order to flush out air and saturate the filters with water before use.
The Primer pump also allows the Black Berkey purification elements to be purged with air in order to clean the pores in the filter wall if necessary, but also to dry the filters in the event of long-term storage (see information on the storage of Black Berkey filters on this subject). The Primer pump therefore allows: 1- Remove debris that may accumulate in the filter pores during use, 2- Reduce the time and effort required to dry the filters before storing them, 3- Facilitate priming of the elements when water pressure is not accessible or when there is little space under the faucet, for example with a small sink. The Black Berkey Primer pump is specifically designed for use with Black Berkey purification elements. Find instructions for using the Black Berkey Primer pump.
