For use with Doulton gravity filtration systems, the W9121226 Doulton Supersterasyl ceramic candle water filter replacement cartridge is filled with granular activated carbon and will help to improve your drinking water taste and quality by reducing harmful contaminants including algae, E. Coli, Salmonella, chlorine taste & odour.
These Premium filters need to be replaced every 2,000 litres of water filtered, which is approximately every 12 months when using 5-6 Litres per day.
This filter cartridge’s life can be extended by scrubbing it clean with a brush throughout its use.
Doulton filters are designed to convert raw or untreated water into high quality drinking water, 100% naturally.
The ceramic shell is filled with granular activated carbon, to give superior flow rates in a gravity filter.
Benefits:
Removal of particles, pathogenic bacteria, cysts, etc. with additional chlorine and organics removal capabilities.
Simply add water to the filter container, which sits inside the main storage container. Under the force of gravity the water first passes through the micro porous ceramic walls of the filter. The inside of the walls of the Royal Doulton filter are impregnated with silver. The silver acts as a natural biocide to keep the water inside your filter, and also your stored water, pure. Then the water passes through the activated carbon filled core of the filter. From there it drips into the storage container at the bottom. The flow rate of the filters is about 1-2 litres of purified water per hour.
Independent Test Laboratory results show these filters are very efficient at removing impurities such as chlorine, bacteria, amoebas, suspended solids, organic pesticides, some heavy metals, bad tastes and smells. They will remove 99.99% of Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
Reasons for choosing Ceramic Water Filters
Doulton® ceramic water filters are compact and lightweight making them easy to install. With numerous health benefits and money-saving advantages there really is no better option to filter your drinking water.
Eco-friendly
Filter candles are made from naturally occurring raw materials, enabling easy disposal in an environmentally friendly manner. Effective long-term use eliminates costly purchases of bottled water, jug cartridges and subsequent recycling.
Easy installation
A filter can be assembled within minutes with no complicated plumbing skills or power required. Simply connect to your mains water supply, follow the appropriate instructions, and you’ll soon be ready to pour a glass of clear, fresh drinking water.
Transferable and versatile
Gravity-fed filter systems offer the ideal solution for outdoor use and in environments where you don’t have access to a mains water supply. Filters are easy to relocate and quick to perform.
Long lasting and value for money
Depending on how much water you use and the type of filter grade chosen, candles will last for 6-12 months. They are cleanable, enabling prolonged life and are easy and cost effective to replace.
Highly effective barrier
Doulton® water filters are manufactured in a way that accurately controls the ceramic pore structure, resulting in an absolute filtration rating of 99.99%+. It’s a clever process that filters sub-micron particles and pathogenic bacteria. Additional pre filter cartridges can be fitted or partnered to existing units to target specific contaminants that may be present in your mains water.
Enhanced anti-bacterial action
Our integrated anti-bacterial silver technology guards the ceramic against bacterial growth and so boiling is not necessary.
Essential mineral retention
Doulton® ceramic filters add nothing to the water during filtration. This ensures that essential minerals are retained for healthy water and a superior taste.
