No the Black Berkey elements fit into the base of the upper chamber with the stems of the filters protruding through the holes in the base of the upper chamber. The protruding stems are threaded and the PF-2 filters screw onto these threaded stems so that the PF-2’s hang down into the lower chamber. The water flows from the upper chamber, through the Black Berkey elements, into the PF-2 filters and then into the lower chamber. The PF in PF-2 stands for Post Filter. So in answer to your question, no they do not replace the black filters but rather work in conjunction with them.
