What This Kit Helps You Do ✅ Prime Your Filters The faucet attachment primer helps force water through Black Berkey elements / Berkey Phoenix filters before installation. This saturates the filters, opening up the pores and pushing out manufacturing dust. 🔍 Test Filter Performance Red dye test vials provide visual confirmation your filters are working. Add dye to upper chamber—if filtered water is clear, your elements are functioning properly. 💧 Prime PF-2 Filters (If Using) Fluoride element adaptor works with the faucet primer to prime PF-2 fluoride/arsenic filters. Only needed if you're using PF-2 filters with your system. 📎 Prevent Air Lock Issues Anti-airlock clip prevents vapor lock in systems that can sometimes occur, ensuring consistent flow rate. Helps maintain proper filtration performance over time.
