  "description": "**Royal Berkey Water Filter DAMAGED – the same great performance, special price!*Damaged Berkey systems are supplied with the same, completely new [Black Berkey filter elements](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/black-berkey-waterfilter-elementen/). The damage occurred during the production process and may be scratches, dents, stains or discolouration on the outer casing (the upper and lower stainless steel chambers), and it concerns slight damage only. The Royal Berkey Water Filter DAMAGED is identified by a \"B\" stamped on the upper and lower stainless steel chambers, which indicates that there is NO warranty on cosmetic defects of the chambers. On all other parts (including the [Black Berkey purification elements](https://www.alternatievemiddelen.nl/producten/black-berkey-waterfilter-elementen/)) the standard warranty of course does apply.\n\nWe always receive a generous stock of the damaged variants. However, it is difficult to say where the damage is on each one, as it is somewhere different every time. For us it is simply not feasible to unpack them all and map out where the damage is. We trust that you will understand, and we already have many satisfied customers with this product. In the images you can find examples of damage. Sometimes the damage is on the inside or on the back, but it may also be somewhat more visible. The examples therefore give you an idea beforehand.***\n\n#### Information about the Royal Berkey Water Filter\n\nBerkey is one of the best-selling brands of water filters and purification systems in the world and is recommended by various health magazines, laboratories and independent health websites.

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 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.",
