KrohneTec Hand-powered Filter Primer also purges (or back-flushes) the Black Elements using air instead of water to clean the proprietary pores of the compressed carbon filter wall.

Purging the Black Elements accomplishes two tasks:

(1) It clears the pores of debris that has accumulated with use.

(2) reduces the amount of time & effort needed to dry the filters prior to storing them.

In addition, those who may be having difficulty priming their elements in a small sink, can use the Hand-powered Filter Primer instead.
