✅ Overview
The Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements are officially approved by New Millennium Concepts, Ltd. for use with filtration systems gravity water Berkey® and other compatible systems.
They constitute an economical alternative to Black Berkey®filters, with an optimized design to offer high and continuous flow rate, perfectly suited to mains water municipal.
⚡ Fast flow: normal and explained
The faster flow of Phoenix NME filters is normal operation and does not constitute a defect.
Unlike Black Berkey® filters, designed with a very dense matrix for uses including more varied water sources, the Phoenix NME uses a different structure, less dense and optimized for municipal water.
👉 This design allows:
- a more fluid passage of water through the filter media ;
- a higher continuous flow rate ;
- faster production of filtered water for daily use.
This technical choice is voluntary: it aims to improve comfort of use without compromising filtration performance.
🔬 Technology filtration
These filters use a media based on CTC 60 activated carbon from coconut shells, activated at high temperature.
This process generates millions of micropores, forming a so-called tortuous pathstructure, capable of effectively trap many contaminants.
The structure is then sintered to guarantee a balance between:
- filtration efficiency ;
- optimized flow rate.
The filter base is made of glass-reinforced polymer, BPA-free and NSF/FDA compliant.
💧 Filtration performance
Filters Phoenix filters NME helps reduce:
- sediments, rust and fine particles;
- pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals (undissolved forms);
- VOCs, pharmaceutical residues and chemicals;
- PFAS (pollutants
✔️ Their effectiveness has been validated by independent tests on more than 200 contaminants.
✔️ The filter retains essential minerals and does not modify the TDS.
🧪 Dye test: verification simple
If in doubt about the flow rate or the installation, a simple test allows you to validate proper operation:
- Add red food coloring to the upper tank
- Let the water pass through the filters
- Observe the water in the lower tank
👉 If the water remains clear:
- the filters are correctly installed
- no leaks internal is not present
- rapid flow is normal
