In fact, it can be dangerous; a new study from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found alarming levels of chromium-6 (the carcinogenic "Erin Brockovich" chemical) in drinking water that nearly 200 million Americans drink, from all 50 states. Chromium-6 is far from the only water pollutant.
Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human use. Materials from the land's surface can move through the soil and end up in the groundwater.Will DRINKING WATER be the next commodity we will be killing for?
The drought in California has become a never ending peril. San Francisco has stopped serving drinking water at most of its restaurants without one asking for it. Places that had natural drinking water running in taps, like Iceland, are now prone to this threat too due to excessive tourism, climate change and the resultant water contamination.

Berke PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic Reduction Elements (Set of 2 Filters- Filter Approx 1000 Gallons of Water)
PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic Reduction Filters adsorb the following unwanted elements found in drinking water:
Fluoride: Sodium Fluoride, Sodium Fluorosilicate, Fluorosilicic Acid (aka Hydrofluorosilic Acid): Testing for fluoride was based on 20-30ppm of the ion in the influent aqueous solution at a flow rate of no more than 3 gpm per cubic foot of media. Results of ‹1ppm of the fluoride ion in the effluent were typical for the media (>95% reduction). Under optimum conditions, effluent concentrations of less than 50 ppb were readily achieved (>99.75% reduction).
Arsenic: V and pre-oxidized Arsenic III: This product uniquely targets the entire family of arsenic oxide anions as well as the arsenic cations.
Other residual heavy metal ionsMade from safe, non-leaching Polypropolene #5 that is BPA-free.
PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic reduction Filters are designed to be used in conjunction with the Black Berkey Purification Elements only.
Number of PF-2s in the bottom chamber must match the number of Black Berkey Purification Elements in the top chamber; for example, 4 Black Berkey Purification elements would require 4 PF-2 Filters.
The Berkey PF-2™ Fluoride and Arsenic Reduction Filters are covered under a six month warranty.
Under normal conditions it is recommended that each set of two PF-2 elements be replaced after 1,000 gallons (The Berkey Light™ is 2.5 gallons therefore the PF-2 filters should be replaced after 400 refills.
If the system is refilled about one time per day, the PF-2’s should be replaced annually, if the system is refilled about twice per day, the PF-2’s should be replaced about every six months). Actual capacity is dependent on the presence of other competing contaminants in the source water. High levels of Fluoride, arsenic and heavy metals may reduce the capacity and efficiency of the elements.
