Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ Filter Elements
Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ filter elements are officially approved by New Millennium Concepts, Ltd. for use in Berkey® gravity water filtration systems.
They provide a cost-effective and high-performance alternative to Black Berkey® elements, while delivering premium filtration quality. Thanks to high-temperature activated coconut shell carbon, these filters develop millions of micropores capable of trapping and absorbing a wide range of contaminants found in drinking water.
The dense, ultra-porous filter matrix ensures a high retention capacity for impurities (sediment, rust, colloids, herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, etc.) while maintaining an excellent water flow rate. The resulting water is pure and neutral, retaining essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
Do not compare Phoenix filters to Black Berkey® filters. They are less dense, which results in a faster flow rate. This is completely normal.
Please note that the flow rate is faster than with Black Berkey® filters and that this does not indicate anything about the performance of the filters. It is a matter of material and design.
*NSF certification and online listing PENDING.Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition™ filter elements are NSF certified (42 and 372) when included in the complete gravity filtration system. Due to high demand for replacement filters, we are currently not offering filters in gravity filtration systems as the manufacturer is experiencing delays in processing replacement filter orders. They are currently working to obtain NSF certification for the filters themselves as standalone components.
The list of pollutants and contaminants treated by Phoenix Gravity New Millennium Edition filters is available in our FAQ.

Key Features
- Compatible with all Berkey® systems and most similar gravity filtration systems.
- Highly efficient filtration: reduces or removes sediment, rust, turbidity, herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), pharmaceuticals, chlorine, PFAS, PFOA, PFOS, and other common municipal water contaminants.
- Premium activated carbon made from CTC 60 coconut shell carbon, offering exceptional adsorption capacity.
- Advanced microfiltration: the microporous structure creates a “tortuous path” that effectively traps undissolved particles.
- Natural-tasting water: beneficial minerals (calcium, magnesium, etc.) are preserved, and the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) remains unchanged.
- Safe and durable materials: glass-fiber reinforced polymer base, BPA-free, compliant with NSF/FDA food-grade standards.
- NSF/ANSI 42 and 372 certified in prgress.
- Quick installation in the upper chamber of your Berkey® or other gravity system.
- Compatible with Berkey PF-2® elements for fluoride and arsenic reduction.
- Re-cleanable throughout their service life for extended use.
- High flow rate: approximately 16 L/h when the upper chamber is full.
