Berkey Phoenix Filter Elements and PF-2 Fluoride Filters Combo

Phoenix Filter Elements + PF-2 Combo Complete two-stage filtration in one bundle. Phoenix filter elements for the upper chamber and PF-2 filters for the lower chamber. Phoenix is the officially endorsed in-stock replacement for Black Berkey filter elements. About Phoenix and Black Berkey: Black Berkey filter elements are temporarily unavailable due to an EPA regulatory matter. The Berkey Phoenix New Millennium Edition is the current in-stock filter element, made by the same manufacturer, NMCL, and is a direct drop-in replacement for any existing Berkey system. 1 Set of Phoenix Filter Elements Upper chamber filtration 1 Set of PF-2 Filters Lower chamber fluoride and arsenic reduction Why Buy the Combo 🛡 Two-Stage Coverage Phoenix elements handle the broad contaminant load in the upper chamber. PF-2 filters target fluoride and arsenic that gravity carbon filtration alone cannot address. ✅ Ready to Install No separate orders, no checking compatibility. PF-2 filters screw directly onto the base of Phoenix elements. Both sets sized for any stainless steel Berkey system. 📦 Bundled in One Order Order both filter types together. Ideal for first-time system setup or full filter replacement when both upper and lower chambers need refreshing. What Each Component Does 🔬 Phoenix Filter Elements Location: Upper Chamber Made by: New Millennium Concepts Ltd. (NMCL), the original Berkey manufacturer Certifications: NSF/ANSI 42 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 Capacity: 5,500 gallons per set of 2 Reduces lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium-6, and other heavy metals Reduces PFAS including PFOA and PFOS Reduces pharmaceuticals and disinfection byproducts Reduces herbicides, pesticides, and volatile organic compounds Reduces chlorine and chloramines Drop-in replacement for any existing Berkey system 💧 PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic Filters Location: Lower Chamber, attaches to Phoenix elements Made by: New Millennium Concepts Ltd. (NMCL) Function: Second-stage filter for fluoride and additional arsenic reduction Capacity: 1,000 gallons per set of 2 Reduces fluoride, which gravity carbon filters do not target Provides additional arsenic reduction Screws directly onto the bottom stem of Phoenix elements Sized for all stainless steel Berkey systems Works as a second-stage filter, not standalone How They Work Together 🔄 Two-Stage Filtration Process Water moves through both stages by gravity. No power, no plumbing, no pressure required. Stage 1, Upper Chamber. Water enters through the Phoenix filter elements, where it passes through the proprietary filtration media. This is where the majority of contaminant reduction happens, including heavy metals, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and chlorine. Stage 2, Lower Chamber. Pre-filtered water exits the Phoenix elements and flows into the PF-2 filters attached to the base of each Phoenix element. This stage targets fluoride and provides additional arsenic reduction. Final Output. Filtered water collects in the lower chamber, ready to dispense from the spigot. Both stages working together deliver broader contaminant reduction than either filter alone.

Black Berkey filter elements are temporarily unavailable due to an EPA regulatory matter. The Berkey Phoenix New Millennium Edition is the current in-stock filter element, made by the same manufacturer, NMCL, and is a direct drop-in replacement for any existing Berkey system. Phoenix filters work with the same PF-2 fluoride filters, which is why this combo is the equivalent two-stage solution. Do I need both Phoenix and PF-2 filters, or can I run just Phoenix? Phoenix elements run on their own as a complete upper-chamber filtration stage. PF-2 filters are optional add-ons that screw onto the bottom of the Phoenix elements to specifically reduce fluoride and provide additional arsenic reduction. If your municipal water supply does not fluoridate, you may not need PF-2 filters. If your water is fluoridated or you want maximum arsenic reduction, the combo gives you both stages in one order. How long will this combo last before I need to replace filters? Phoenix elements are rated for 5,500 gallons per set of two. PF-2 filters are rated for 1,000 gallons per set of two. In practical terms for an average household, Phoenix elements typically last a few years before requiring replacement, while PF-2 filters typically need replacement once a year depending on usage and water quality. PF-2 filters always reach end-of-life before Phoenix elements do. Are Phoenix filters NSF certified? Yes. Phoenix filter elements are NSF/ANSI 42 certified (aesthetic effects, including chlorine reduction) and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 certified (lead-free materials). Phoenix elements have also been independently lab-tested by EPA-accredited and NSF-accredited laboratories for a broader range of contaminants. Full lab results are linked in the cluster section above. Will this combo work with my existing Berkey system? Yes. The Phoenix and PF-2 combo is compatible with all stainless steel Berkey systems, including Go Berkey Kit, Travel Berkey, Big Berkey, Royal Berkey, Imperial Berkey, and Crown Berkey. Phoenix is a direct drop-in replacement that uses the same chamber threading and footprint as Black Berkey. No system modifications are required. How do I install the PF-2 filters on the Phoenix elements? PF-2 filters screw directly onto the threaded stem at the bottom of each Phoenix element. Prime both filter types first per the included instructions, then assemble the Phoenix element with the PF-2 attached, and install in the upper chamber as you would any Berkey filter. The PF-2 sits in the lower chamber while the Phoenix element sits in the upper chamber. Is this combo covered by the lifetime warranty? The lifetime warranty applies to the stainless steel chambers and hardware of the Berkey system itself, not to consumable filter elements. Filter elements are replacement consumables with their own gallon-rated lifespan. The combo is backed by our standard satisfaction guarantee and the manufacturer warranty on filter performance.
