Makes Them Stand Out?

✔ Advanced Carbon Media & Construction

According to your product page:

  • Made with “premium CTC-60 coconut shell activated carbon, sintered under heat and pressure to create millions of micropores for superior contaminant removal and fast flow.” purewater4life

  • BPA-free polymer base, food-contact compliant. purewater4life

  • Compatible with all Berkey systems and PF-2® filters for fluoride/arsenic reduction. purewater4life

✔ Certified for Confidence

These filter elements are certified to NSF/ANSI 42 (aesthetic/taste/odour) and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 (lead-free plumbing compliance). purewater4life+1In independent lab testing they remove or reduce a broad spectrum of contaminants including: chlorine, VOCs, PFAS, pesticides, heavy metals — yet retain healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium for better taste. purewater4life+1

✔ High Capacity & Flow

From the product page:

“Average lifespan: 10,400 L per pair (may vary by water quality).” purewater4lifeFlow rate up to 16 L/hour (pair). purewater4lifeThis means less frequent filter changes and more consistent performance — ideal for Australian households or adventurers who want reliable clean water on demand.

Why These Filters Matter for Your Home & Lifestyle

  • Upgrade your Berkey system: If you already own a Berkey gravity system, these Phoenix elements give you the next-level media to match your needs.

  • Ideal for family use: Great capacity and certified performance make them suited for multiple people, daily use, kitchen benches, or outdoor setups.

  • Portable & off-grid friendly: Still gravity-fed — no plumbing, no electricity. Perfect for caravans, boats, remote cabins and homes like yours in the Northern Beaches or Aussie outdoors.

  • Taste & mineral retention: Many filters remove all minerals and leave “dead” tasting water. These retain beneficial minerals, giving you crisp, fresh taste without stripped-out water.

  • Peace of mind: Having certified performance means you can confidently serve your family safe water, whether you’re filtering rainwater, mains or travelling.

Fit & Compatibility

These Phoenix elements are fully compatible with all Berkey® gravity-fed systems plus PF-2® fluoride/arsenic reduction filters. From your site:

“Compatible with all Berkey® systems and PF-2® fluoride/arsenic filters.” purewater4lifeIf you already have a Berkey system, simply replace your Black Berkey® elements with Phoenix New Millennium Edition (same housing fit). If you don’t yet own a system, this is an excellent upgrade path.

Care, Maintenance & Tips

  • Priming: Use the included PrimeEasy™ Universal Primer to flush new filters and optimise flow. purewater4life

  • Cleaning: These elements are cleanable; regular cleaning helps maintain flow and maximise lifespan.

  • Replacement interval: Depending on water source and usage, budget for replacement when flow becomes noticeably slower or after reaching capacity (10,400 L per pair as a guideline)

  • Install location: Because these are gravity-fed, place on bench/counter where you can refill the upper chamber easily and access the spigot comfortably.

  • Use with PF-2 filters if fluoride/arsenic reduction is required in your water supply.

Final Thoughts

If you are serious about water quality — from taste, minerals, contaminant removal to flow rate and life-span — the Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition Filter Elements are a standout choice. Paired with a Berkey system (or suitable gravity setup), they bring premium filtration in a versatile, portable format.

Whether you’re living in the Northern Beaches, exploring Australia by caravan or boat, or simply want the best drinking water in your home, this upgrade delivers.
