Lab Results
Big Berkey FAQs
- Does the Big Berkey reduce lead? Yes, the Black Berkey Filters included with a Big Berkey purchase remove or reduce up to 99.9% of lead and other heavy metals.
- Does the Big Berkey change the pH of my water? Depending on the source water type poured into the Berkey, the pH of the water may change after filtering through the system. The pH level may increase if the water is polluted, causing it to be more acidic; filtering it will increase the pH to a neutral 7.
-
Can the Big Berkey soften hard water? No, Berkey water filters are NOT water softeners. The Black Berkey Filters keep the beneficial minerals in the water, which makes water "hard."
- How do I know if my Big Berkey is working correctly? The Red Dye Test is a great way to confirm the Black Berkey Filters are still in good shape and that no unwanted contaminants are passing through.
