Undeniably, passing water through Black Berkey™ filters has the effect of making it more alkaline than it was originally. In fact, its pH tends to increase. And this transformation turns out to be rather beneficial... Why? Because pathogenic bacteria as well as viruses tend to proliferate in acidic environments, and they find it difficult to survive in alkaline environments. As the pH rises, the alkalinity increases accordingly.
However, it is important to keep in mind that the final pH of the purified water can vary depending on other elements, such as the initial pH of the water before it passes through the filter.
