NMCL Berkey PRIMING PF-2 Manual

Berkey PF-2™ Reduction Elements are designed for use with Black Berkey® filters, water purification elements toabsorb the following unwanted elements found in water:• Fluoride• Arsenic V and pre-oxidized Arsenic III• Other residual heavy metal ionsTECHNICAL INFORMATIONFLUORIDES: The filtration tests for fluoride ions are based on a 20-30 ppm solution loaded in an aqueoussolution. Under optimal conditions, after filtration, these concentrations in the effluent are less than 50 ppb(reduction> 99.75%).ARSENIC: The filter targets only the arsenic oxide family of anions, as well as arsenic cations. For maximumremoval efficiency, maintain treated water between 5 and 7 PH. Actual capacity depends on the level of arsenic,fluoride and other competing heavy metal ions. Unusually high levels of these contaminants can reduce thecapacity and efficiency of the elements.CAUTION: FILTERS MUST BE PURGED BEFORE USEVENTING PROCEDUREThe media contained in your Berkey PF-2™ elements contain very fine process dust that can give the water abitter taste. To dislodge the process dust from the Berkey PF-2™ elements, it is necessary to purge each element.To purge your filters, use the following procedure:1- Blue caps still in place, remove stickers and wash the outside of each Berkey PF2™ element with mild soap ordish-washing liquid.2- With clean hands, remove the two blue caps from each end of eachBerkey PF-2™ filter element.3- Place the rubber cleaning washer (beige in color) on one end of a BerkeyPF-2™ element and align the hole in the washer with the hole in the BerkeyPF-2™ element.4- Press the purge washer correctly against the valve nozzle to obtain thegreatest possible seal.5- While holding the drain washer against the faucet, gently turn on theCOLD water, letting the water run for at least 30 seconds or until thewater runs clear. If residue is still present, please repeat the process until the water is clear.6- Turn the Berkey PF-2™ element the other way and purge the other end by repeating steps 3 through 5.7- Purge each additional Berkey PF-2™ element by repeating steps 3 through 6.Priming PF-2 Berkey® filtersBerkey®Store | https://berkey-store.com | All rights reserved © 2021Page 1PRIMING PF-2™ FILTERFluoride reductionand arsenicWARNING: Failure to read this manual in its entirety or to follow all instructions may result in personal injury, waterdamage, or voiding the warranty! It is the responsibility of the person assembling the system to ensure that allcomponents are properly assembled and installed according to the instructions provided. Although your systemshould not have any leakage problems, there is always a risk due to improper assembly or a defective part. As aprecaution, we recommend placing the filled system for the first 24 hours in an area where, should such a leak occur,the resulting overflow will not cause any damage. |
