My filtered water is cloudy or has a funny taste

The Berkey water filters will require more priming if filtered water is "cloudy" or has a "funny taste". Continue flushing water through filters until the water runs clear. Discard the first batch of filtered water.

If you are unable to use your kitchen faucet for priming Black Berkey Elements, another option is to use this squeeze bottle. (New elements will require 3 Bottles each to flush out factory residues)

Note; A chalky residue is being produced for a limited number (about 5%) of Black Berkey Element users in the Lower mainland of British Columbia. This is the only place in North America that this is happening. Post Filtered water is showing cloudiness due to a chemical reaction to post filtered water.  To eliminate this risk, please use our British Berkefeld Ultra Sterasyl water filters
