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

✔ 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.
