It is our privilege to offer the BOROUX Foundation™ filter as the optimal replacement for all BOROUX/Berkey system owners. The BOROUX Foundation™ filter is made in the USA by the same formulator as the Berkey BB9 black filters. Beyond fitting seamlessly with all Berkey models, they also fit most other gravity-fed water filtration systems including: ProOne®, Alexapure Pro, Doulton, Patriot Pure Ultimate, and more. The black carbon filter elements are equipped with patented Stem Saver technology for added durability during handling and cleaning. BOROUX has additionally secured independent testing to meet NSF/ANSI/CAN standards, the highest level of trust in water filtration. Lead-Free Guarantee (NSF/ANSI/CAN 372). The suggested filter life is 6,000 US gallons per filter.
Please Note: Most gravity-fed water filtration systems require two filters to operate. This single filter replacement is intended for customers who need to replace one filter from an existing set—for example, if a filter is accidentally damaged during handling or cleaning. If you need a complete set of two filters, please see our BOROUX foundation.™ Black Filters which come in set(s) of 2.
Note: Priming tool, red dye test solution, and product insert are included with the two-filter set. If you need these accessories, please purchase that instead.
