WARNING: Failure to read, thoroughly understand, and follow all instructions may result in personal injury, water
damage, or voiding of the warranty! It is the assembler’s responsibility to make sure all components are properly
®
assembled and installed using the instructions provided. While your
Berkey
system should not have any
leaking problems, there is always the chance that a leak might occur due to being improperly assembled or
perhaps a faulty part. In an overabundance of caution, we recommend that for the first 24 hours the filled system
be placed in an area wherein if such a leak were to occur, the resulting spillage would not damage anything within
the household.

system will not be used for an extended period,
remove filter and flush the unit with either a
chlorinated solution of 1/4 tsp. per one half
gallon of water, or a 50/50 mix of 3%

parts to dry thoroughly with cap removed. Re-
assemble and seal in an air tight container if
possible. Do not allow filter to freeze, do not
place in microwave oven and do not run hot
