  threaded spindle of Black Berkey® elements.
- Fluoride is NOT added to tap water in Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island or the Okanagan.
- See here for municipalities in British Columbia that add fluoride to tap water.
Black Berkey Primer™

$33 CAD
- Handy device makes it easy to prime (and dry out) Black Berkey®
  purification elements.
- Ideal for emergency, travel and backcountry situations where there
  is limited potable water available to prime Black Berkey® elements.
  Shortens the time required to dry out Black Berkey® elements that
  are being taken out of use and prepped for shortage.
- One end of the Primer screws onto the threaded end of the element. Submerse the element in water. Slowly squeeze
  and release the black bulb until water comes out
  the elbow at the upper end. Water has been sucked into the
  element. It is ready to use.
- Black Berkey® purification elements should be thoroughly dried out before being
  stored (not used) for prolonged periods. Reversing the Black Berkey Primer™ parts makes it easy to quickly draw most of the water out
  of the element which shortens the drying time needed before
  storage.
