What is the Biotect Ultra Filter made out of?

Like most of the Doulton range of filters, the Biotect Ultra is made from a cleanable ceramic outer shell for unrivalled filtration, with an activated carbon core to protect against chemical contaminants.

Can I use other filters in the EcoFast system?

We only recommend using Doulton Filters within the Doulton systems. If you are looking to protect against scale deposition in addition to bacteria and cysts, insecticides, herbicides, microplastics, heavy metals and chlorine, we recommend the Biotect Ultra SI instead of the Biotect Ultra.

What Independent test certification does the Doulton EcoFast, with Biotect Ultra Filter have?

Tested and certified by NSF International and WRAS, the system meets:

• WRAS requirements
• NSF/ANSI Standard 42 – Material Safety, class 1 particulate and chlorine reduction
• NSF/ANSI Standard 53 – Turbidity, cyst and lead reduction
• NSF/ANSI Standard 401 – Microplastic reduction
• NSF/ANSI Standard 372 – Lead-free compliance

Do I need to purchase a separate tap for this product?

We highly recommend using either the Doulton Pillar Tap or integrated with the Doulton Three Way Mixer Tap for this product. This setup ensures that every drop of water you drink is exclusively filtered, maintaining the highest possible quality. Connecting the system directly to your existing kitchen tap may
compromise water quality, as it does not separate filtered water from your mains supply. This potentially allows unfiltered water through.

Is there anything else I need to consider?

We would recommend performing a flow  test on your existing drinking water supply to check that the pressure of your water supply is sufficient for the system to run effectively. This is a simple test you can do yourself at home with a jug and a timer!

Steps to check water pressure:    

• Place the jug under your kitchen tap.      
• Turn the cold tap on fully.     
• Start the timer as soon as water begins to flow.     
• Stop the timer when the jug reaches exactly 1litre.
• Check how long it took.

If it took under 6 seconds, you likely have very high
pressure (> 10 L/min), which is excellent for Doulton Water Filter Systems but may need to install a pressure reducer.

If it took 7 - 12 seconds, you likely have a medium to low water pressure which should be adequate to run the system.

If it took anything over 12 seconds, we would not recommend using a Doulton Under Sink Water Filter system without seeking advice on your mains water pressure - ideally you need 30 psi/ 2 bar.

However, you may want to explore our British Berkefeld range for an option that requires no plumbing!
