Doulton ceramic cartridges
are the recognized leader in sub-micron filtration.
They remove sediment, bacteria and cysts, and
are bacteriostatic.
- The Imperial Sterasyl cartridge is a plain ceramic
shell.
- The Ultracarb cartridge utilizes the same ceramic
shell, but incorporates a solid block carbon core and some
ion-exchange resins which reduce lead and other heavy metals.
Both cartridges are cleanable and reusable, although
the carbon and resin components will eventually reach
saturation and require replacement. If you are looking for the
best filter for your drinking water, you've found it.
We also carry a low cost cartridge that is manufactured by
KX Industries. It is made from solid block and
designed to be reusable like real ceramic cartridges. It
is not resistant to stagnation for part-time use, but is rated
for all bacteria like the ceramic. It is not likely to
last as long as ceramic, but is quite effective for the cost. |
