Berkey Biofilm Drops™ have an indefinite shelf-life as long as you don’t freeze them.

When using Berkey Biofilm Drops™ please use as directed. At the doses recommended they are equivalent to taking a vitamin supplement. Berkey Biofilm Drops™ are not harmful to the human body. They may in fact be beneficial to the human body, which needs copper for good health.

What are the Berkey Biofilm Drops™ made of?

Berkey Biofilm Drops™ are a patented process that are made of all pharmaceutical or food grade ingredients that are listed by the FDA as safe for human consumption. As with any supplements please follow dosage instructions and do not overdose

We recommend that the bleach used, not be scented or in any other way enhanced. If you are not aware, many bleaches today come with “other things” in them to provide a nice smell, etc. We don’t recommend these types of bleaches.

What is the purpose of adding the Berkey Biofilm Drops™ to a Berkey® system and what are the benefits?

The purpose of adding Berkey Biofilm Drops™ to your Berkey® system is to prevent the potential growth of biofilm within the element media, which will prolong the life of your elements. Berkey Biofilm Drops™ will also help prevent potential slime (algae) growth in your tank. Using the Berkey Biofilm Drops™ will impregnate the Berkey® elements with copper, silver ions. Use no more than 4 drops per gallon of water. If you are using tap water add 2 drops per gallon once every week or two. You do not need to add the drops each time you are filling your Berkey® system with water.

If your Berkey® System is being used to filter contaminated waters such as lake, stream or river water, it is recommended that you add 4 drops per gallon of water being filtered. Further, if you are using contaminated water such as lake or stream water it is recommended to use the drops each time you fill your Berkey® system. If you are using municipal tap water it is recommended to add the drops once every week or two. This will retard or prevent the potential growth of Biofilms and prolong the life of your elements.

The instructions that come with the Berkey Biofilm Drops™ state: “It is significant to note that these levels are below the EPAs Maximum Allowed Levels (MAL) of 1.33 ppm and the World Health Organizations (WHO) of 2.0 ppm.” What do these levels refer to?

The levels refer specifically to copper. Please note that if you put fish in water treated with Berkey Biofilm Drops™, it is important to check first to see if the type of fish you have are sensitive to copper; as some fish may have a sensitivity.

What is the expected shelf life of the Berkey Biofilm Drops™?

Under ideal conditions, the Berkey Biofilm Drops™ have proven to remain full strength for up to 10 years. If the Berkey Biofilm Drops™ are or become frozen, the expected shelf life is half, or up to 5 years. Please note on the Berkey Biofilm Drops™ box, it is clearly stated, “Do Not Freeze.”
