Basic maintenance
Regular maintenance keeps your Berkey system clean and functional over time, without any complicated operations. It is not about constantly dismantling the system, but simply adopting a few good habits.
The chambers can be cleaned periodically with lukewarm water using a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. It is recommended to avoid harsh products so as not to damage the surfaces. The filters themselves do not require frequent cleaning; they simply need to be handled with care.
To maintain optimal operation, keep the essentials in mind:
→ Clean the chambers from time to time, depending on use
→ Do not use abrasive detergents
→ Regularly check the condition of the seals and the tap
→ Clean or replace parts if necessary
If the system is left unused for an extended period, it is advisable to empty and clean the chambers before putting it back into service. Simple and regular maintenance is sufficient to ensure reliable use over time.
