Product Description
The Sterasyl grade ceramic is designed to remove suspended solids and pathogenic bacteria (99.99%). The filter elements are produced using the latest ceramic techniques to provide a hollow porous ceramic, which is fired at a temperature in excess of 1,000º C. They are designed to operate with water flow going from the outside to the inside of the element. The ceramic shell exhibits a strictly controlled pore structure, so as to provide efficient sub-micron filtration, a proven defense against hard-shelled parasites such as Cryptosporidium as well as pathogenic bacteria. The ceramic also removes other less harmful, but equally unpleasant particulate debris such as rust and dirt. Composition of the SterasylTM ceramic contains pure silver. This silver is a material designed to significantly inhibit bacteriological mitosis or grow through. The result is that bacterial growth is inhibited from occurring within the SterasylTM ceramic element (which is possible with the other ceramic filter elements). This silver content insures that filtered water contains levels well below those required by international standards. Because of the silver, SterasylTM filter elements do not require sterilization after cleaning. Additionally, the bore of the ceramic shell is filled with granular activated carbon, which enables the filter to reduce chlorine and organic chemicals while improving the color, taste and odor of the source water. The re-cleanable Super SterasylTM filter elements remove suspended solids, parasites, cysts and pathogenic bacteria (99.99%) and reduce organic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, organic solvents, trihalomethanes, SOCs, VOCs and foul tastes and odors. The top of the Super SterasylTM element is closed with a unique ceramic dome. This prevents the possibility of breeching (leakage), which can occur with filtration elements that are closed with a plastic cap.

Make your own safe water filter
By txmudmonkey
Get a couple of free 5 gal food safe buckets from Walmart Bakery, drill a 1/2" hole and add one of these ceramic filters (search "Berkey" on Youtube for video "how to")and have your own inexpensive safe water filter. One 7" filter is cleanable (occasionally)with a scotchbrite pad and will make a lot of safe drinking water per day for years. I'm using one that is 13 years old. Add more filters for more water per day. For convenience, install a plastic spigot in the bottom bucket. These have been used all over the world for decades. You can get as fancy as you want, but this is Basic Survival 101. You should do this for your family before the next disaster. This can keep you alive! Anyone can cobble one of these together in a few minutes....do it now....before the crunch, when safe drinking water will be your FIRST priority.

By todd
These ceramic filters are much more tougher than the Black Berkey filters. The plastic base of the Black Berkey would always break away from the the filter media after just a few months. This problem would then cause unfiltered water to leak into the lower chamber making my system useless. After about 4 broken filters I had enough and tried the ceramics. They are much better and clean the water just as well. You will have to change your fluoride filter to the PF4 to work with the ceramic type but they cost less than the PF2 types. Black Berkey needs to resolve the base issue with their filters. I will stay with the ceramics for now. I hope Black Berkey reads my review since I spent 200 bucks on worthless and poorly made filters that just fell apart.

By Jerome Boettner
These filter are fantastic. The base, threads and nut for fastening them to the Berkey are much tougher than what was on my Black Berkey filters. I could get them on there real tight where the Black Berkey filters nut would pop if you tried to tighten it. These are also easier to prime and clean. We are very happy with this purchase.
