Priming means fully saturating the filters with water. This process activated the filter and is important for optimal water flow. 1. Attach Prime Rite to a faucet and put it up the water spout as possible. 2. Remove wing nut and washer from Black Berkey Filter. 3. Hold the filter in one hand and gently put the stem of the filter into the small opening of the Prime Rite. 4. Hold the filter and slowly turn on the water until it's a low but steady flow. Use cold water. If the Prime Rite inflates or forms a bulb, turn the water pressure down. 5. Run water through the filter until beads of water appear on the sides of the filter—approximately one minute. 6. Turn off the water and remove the filter from Prime Rite. Prime all filters before installing them in the system. Didn't receive a PrimeRite when you bought your Berkey? Did you buy it from us, berkeyfilters.com?
