Installation and Maintenance Tips
Follow the assembly instructions for your Berkey® model when replacing washers, wing nuts, or blocking plugs. Hand-tighten filter wing nuts without overtightening, make sure unused upper-chamber openings are properly plugged, and check the spigot connection for leaks after installation.
When cleaning Black Berkey® Elements, use the supplied pad only as directed by the element manufacturer's care instructions. Re-prime cleaned elements when instructed. For detailed guidance, see our Berkey filter priming guide.
