Filtration Process

Ultraceram© gravity filter elements utilize our class leading silver impregnated ceramic micro porous outer shell combined with our patented core technology.

The Ultraceram© is made from the highest quality NSF certified (ANSI 61) coconut shell based granular activated carbon and other proprietary adsorbent medias.

The Ultraceram© combines mechanical filtration and physical adsorption processes to reduce a wide variety of drinking water contaminants of both aesthetic and health concerns. The pore structure of the ceramic enables sufficient contact time for the UltraCeram® to be ideally suited to improving taste and odour as well as reducing chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds, MTBE, lead, mercury, asbestos, arsenic and most importantly fluoride. The cleanable shell is designed to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria and cysts.

The Ultraceram© elements have been tested in accordance with NSF Protocols for cyst, turbidity, particulates, lead, chloramines and chlorine reduction.

This filter cartridge is currently featured within our range of Gravity filters.
