How Regularly to Clean

How as often as possible you require to clean your Berkey® framework depends on your water source. If you have difficult water, which contains a parcel of minerals like limescale, or utilize water that’s more contaminated than tap water, you will be required to clean the tanks more regularly. In common, we suggest cleaning the tanks every 2-3 months. Be that as it may, if you have exceptionally difficult water or suspect your water is contaminated, clean the tanks monthly.

Which product to use

For difficult water, limescale can be constructed in the tanks, around the tap, or close the joints. A basic and common way to clean limescale is by utilizing vinegar. If the limescale buildup is overwhelming, utilize immaculate vinegar. For lighter buildup, blend 50% vinegar with 50% water. Splash the arrangement on the influenced ranges, let it sit for a few minutes, and at that point rinse.

Important: Do not splash vinegar on the Black Berkey® or PF-2 filters.

To clean the tanks themselves, utilize tepid water and a mellow dish cleanser. Delicately clean the tanks with a delicate wipe. If your water contains contaminants, you can add a few drops of dye to warm water for a more careful cleaning. Another alternative is to put the tanks in the dishwasher but be beyond any doubt to expel the tap and all channels first.
