How to Calculate Use
For typical daily use, multiply the (# of people in your group) X (.5 gallons). In an emergency, multiply (# of people in your group) X (1 gallon). This is the recommended minimum amount of water you may anticipate using each day. A pair of Black Purification Elements (#BB9-2) have a lifespan of 3000 gallons.
Look at the chart below to see configuration options for each system. Please note that you can order additional sets of Black Berkey® Purification Elements at any time. We recommend having backup sets on hand in the event of an emergency
