The first step in preparing a Berkey water filter is priming the [Black Berkey filter elements](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/black-berkey-waterfilter-elementen/). It is important that this is done properly, otherwise purifying the water takes a very long time. For all information about Berkey water filters, we refer you to our [library](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/de-bieb/), which includes manuals, instruction videos and answers to frequently asked questions. 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 a [manual primer pump](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/black-berkey-primer/) from us.",
