Assuming you would like a blog post discussing how to assemble a Berkey water filter:
Assembling your Berkey water filter is easy! Simply follow these four steps:
1. Remove the black berkey purification elements from their shipping containers. For best results, soak the elements in clean water for 30 minutes before use. This will help remove any residual carbon fines that may be present.
2. Insert the purification elements into the lower chamber of the stainless steel housing. Make sure they are securely in place and cannot fall out easily.
3. Fill the upper chamber of the housing with treated water (such as municipal tap water that has been allowed to sit for 24 hours). Be sure not to overfill – leave about an inch of space at the top to allow for expansion when adding hot water later on.
4. Place the lid on top of the upper chamber, making sure it is secure and airtight. That’s it! Your Berkey system is now assembled and ready to use!
