For all information about Berkey water filters, please refer to our [library](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/de-bieb/), which contains manuals, instruction videos and answers to frequently asked questions, among other things. If priming with the tap does not work, you can order an [automatic primer pump](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/boroux-automatische-filter-primer-pomp/) or [manual primer pump](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/black-berkey-primer/) from us.",
