NEW BIG BERKEY SUPER STERASYL CERAMIC WATER FILTER SYSTEM & Free PF4's
This deal Retails for about 300 dollars!

Includes:
Big Berkey Super Sterasyl Water Filter System w/ Two 9" Ceramic Filters
Free Set of Two PF4 Flouride & Arsenic Reduction Elements (49 dollar value)


I cannot ship to Iowa or California

Features:
The versatile Big Berkey® Super Sterasyl system is the ideal system for use at home with small or medium sized families, travel, outdoor activities or during unexpected emergencies.

Constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel, the system comes complete with two 9" Super Sterasyl Ceramic Filter Elements and two PF4 Flouride & Arsenic Reduction Elements. This system has a storage capacity of about 2.25 gallons and when in use it stands 19.25" in height with a diameter of 8.5". The upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only 13" in height.

Configured with two 9" Super Sterasyl Ceramic Filter Elements the system will purify 2-3 gallons per hour.*

*Flow rate calculated with upper chamber full to top. Flow rate decreases as water level declines.

Specifications on the 9" Super Sterasyl Ceramic Filter Elements:

The Sterasylâ„¢ grade ceramic is designed to remove suspended solids and pathogenic bacteria.

Composition of the Sterasylâ„¢ ceramic contains pure silver. This silver is a specially formulated self-sterilizing (bacteriostatic) agent. The result is that bacterial growth is prevented from occurring within the Sterasylâ„¢ ceramic element. More importantly, bacterial 'grow-through' is inhibited. Because of the silver, Sterasylâ„¢ filter elements do not require sterilization after cleaning.

The Sterasylâ„¢ ceramic is the ceramic used for the Super Sterasylâ„¢ filter element. Accordingly, this filter element will have, at a minimum, the filtration benefits of Sterasylâ„¢.

Toxicological extraction is commonly the most difficult area of the NSF testing standards to satisfy. This shows that the filter does not re-contaminate the water. Many other ceramics have not passed and may not be capable of passing the NSF material extraction test. The Ceramic shell of our Super SterasylË™ element is an NSF Listed Component and is manufactured to meet NSF standard 42 for materials.

Super Sterasylâ„¢ Candle Water Filter Element
This cleanable filter element is designed to reduce suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, organic chemicals, and improve taste and odor. The filter elements are produced using the latest ceramic techniques to provide a hollow porous ceramic which is fired at a temperature in excess of 1000C. They are designed to operate with water flow going from the outside to inside of the element. The ceramic shell exhibits a strictly controlled pore structure, so as to provide efficient sub-micron filtration, a proven defense against hard shelled parasites such as Cryptosporidium, as well as removing other less harmful, but equally unpleasant particulate debris, such as rust and dirt. The bore of the filter candle contains granular activated carbon that aids in the reduction of chlorine, reduces organic chemicals and improves the color, taste, and odor of the source water. The Sterasylâ„¢ element has a unique domed ceiling assuring that leakage cannot occur as may happen with capped filters.

Bacterial mitosis and 'grow-through'
Mitosis is the name for the usual method of bacterial cell division. This division is characterized by resolving the chromatin of the cell nucleus into a threadlike form that condenses into chromosomes, each of which separates longitudinally into two parts, one part of each chromosome being retained in each of the two new daughter cells.

When conditions of growth (cell division) are right (proper environmental conditions, temperature, pressure, etc.) and sufficient nutrients, the 'threadlike forms' can penetrate the ceramic structure of other ceramic shells and create bacterial cells on the inside of the element.

Sterasylâ„¢ grade filter elements incorporate pure silver into the porous ceramic shell to inhibit the occurrenceof 'grow-through'.

Specifications on the PF4 Flouride & Arsenic Reduction Elements:

PF-4 reduction elements are designed for use in conjunction with the Super Sterasyl Ceramic Filter Elements to adsorb the following unwanted elements found in drinking water.

• Fluoride
• MTBE

• Lead
• Arsenic
• Other residual heavy metal ions

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

FLUORIDE: 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 each set of two PF-4 elements be replaced after 1,000 gallons or 6 months, whichever comes first.
