Things We Filter

Will my filter element remove Arsenic?

Filtration does not remove Arsenic from water.

Will my filter element remove Manganese?

Manganese will not be removed by a filter element.

Will a ceramic water filter remove Pseudomonas aeroginosa?

We do not claim Pseudomonas aeruginosa filtration because we cannot provide a 100% barrier. It is a rapid coloniser and has the potential for re-growth downstream of our filter therefore we would recommend a disinfection stage downstream of our filter.

How effective are the filters at removing bacteria?

The ceramic in our filters forms a physical barrier to bacteria, blocking its path while allowing clear, fresh water through. Our water filters are trusted worldwide to remove bacteria from drinking water by thousands of people.

Will ceramic filters remove diesel, petroleum and MTBE from water?

Ceramic filtration does not remove diesel, petrol or MTBE.

Our ceramic filters remove iron in particulate form. >99.99% will be removed at 0.9 micron or >99.99% at 0.5 to 0.8 micron. Filtration is not suitable for dissolved iron.

How effective is my filter element against Legionella bacteria?

The ceramic in our filters forms a physical barrier to bacteria, blocking its path while allowing clear, fresh water through. Our water filters are trusted worldwide to remove bacteria from drinking water by thousands of people. However, Legionella is capable of slow regrowth downstream of the filter so it's important to disinfect downstream of the filter where Legionella is suspected.

Which minerals will my Doulton filter leave in my filtered water?

Your water's mineral content will depend on where you live. Doulton and British Berkefeld water filters will leave healthy minerals in your filtered water while filtering bacteria and pathogens. The best way to find out your individual water mineral content is to check with your local water provider. Your local water provider will be able to let you know.
