| Maximum working pressure | 125 psi (8.6 bars) |
|---|---|
| Maximum working temperature | 100 °F (37.8 °C) |
| Minimum working temperature | 40 °F (4.4 °C) |
| Recommended change frequency | every 6 months |
| Contaminant Removal | The great majority of pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria and cysts are larger than one µ. The pore size of the ceramic filter element is controlled so that it will remove all suspended matter larger than 0.9 µ. |
| Pathogenic Bacteria | Chorela, Typhoid, Salmonella, Serratia, E. Coli, Fecal Coliform: >99.99% removal |
| Cysts | Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia: 100% removal (based on tests by Arizona State University) |
| Sediment | Down to 0.9 µ, 100%; 0.5-0.8 µ with a filter efficiency of >99.99% (based on tests by Spectrum Laboratories, Minneapolis, MN) |
Doulton Ceramic Filter Elements have been trusted by relief organizations around the globe for over 150 years. These filters were developed in 1850 to remove disease causing bacteria from London’s Thames River.
These cleanable filter elements are designed to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, and chemical contaminants. In addition they will improve taste and reduce trace contaminants. These filter elements have been tested in accordance with NSF protocols for cyst, turbidity, particulates, and chlorine reduction (Class 1).
The cartridges are based on a Sterasyl ceramic pre-filter shell. The ceramic contains a specially formulated self-sterilizing compound therefore, the SuperCarb element does not require sterilization after cleaning. Inside the ceramic shell is a carbon block post-filter which forms a tightly packed matrix and is effective for chlorine, taste and odor removal.
The candle has one threaded end and one rounded end. It fits only in housings with female threads inside the top cap.
Ultracarb Filters are NSF Certified for:
- NSF/ANSI 42 Accreditation – Aesthetic Effects
- NSF/ANSI 53 Accreditation – Health Affects
- NSF/ANSI 372 Accreditation – Lead Content
- NSF/ANSI 401 Accreditation – Emerging Compounds / Incidental Contaminants
Note: The ceramic and carbon filter piece is biodegradable; plastic is recyclable (depending on your state’s regulations).
What does NSF Certified mean?
NSF certification means that the product meets strict standards for public health protection imposed by NSF International, such as extensive product testing and material analysis.
Matt Moore –
I haven’t installed it yet, but have been looking for a good priced ceramic filter. We’ve had another brand for years and really like it, but the filters were getting out of our price range. I like how it has a nitrate reducing filter also. We live in Iowa that has high nitrates in their water. Ceramic is the only way to go ! The water taste amazing.

We really enjoy that taste of the water, the only complaint is that it is full of bubbles now but they do go away after the water sets out
