Discover the Power of Ceramic Filters
British Berkefeld Systems from Doulton come with a choice of two filter elements. Our ceramic filter technology guarantees an exceptional water filtration experience. Our best selling Ultra Sterasyl element reduces common contaminants such as Lead, Microplastics, Bacteria, Herbicides & Pesticides and Chlorine to deliver filtered water that tastes better.
The Ultra Fluoride option reduces heavy metals; Chlorine to improve taste and odour and Fluoride. So if you live in an area that adds fluoride to your water or simply have concerns about fluoride levels in your water, then this is the solution for you.
| Feature | Ultra Sterasyl | Ultra Fluoride |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorine 99% | ✓ | ✓ |
| Lead Reduction | ✓ | ✓ |
| Microplastics | ✓ | ✓ |
| Pharmaceuticals | ✓ | — |
| Trace Organics | ✓ | — |

Both filters last for 6 months if used in an average household setting. Did you know you can easily clean your ceramic water filters? If the flow seems to have substantially slowed its likely that the surface of the ceramic has become blocked. Providing the water is still tasting great you can improve the flow again by cleaning the ceramic filter. Follow our instructions here.
