How do our filters work?

Ceramic water filters are one of the oldest and most efficient methods of water filtration. The key to their effectiveness lies in their porous structure, which acts as a barrier between impurities and the water we consume.

Our benchtop water filters provide a convenient solution for filtering tap, tank and bore water, allowing you to enjoy clean drinking water at home.

AquaCera

CeraMetix Imperial (Removes Fluoride)

The AquaCera CeraMetix Imperial filter candle utilises a multi-stage filtration process that combines a microporous ceramic outer shell with an AquaMetix granular core. This combination allows for both mechanical filtration (trapping particles on the surface) and chemical adsorption (removing contaminants inside) to provide comprehensive reductions.

Overview

The AquaCera CeraMetix Imperial filter candle utilises a multi-stage filtration process that combines a microporous ceramic outer shell with an AquaMetix granular core, specifically designed for gravity-fed systems. This combination allows for both mechanical filtration (trapping particles on the surface) and chemical adsorption (removing contaminants inside). It is a highly efficient ceramic microfilter insert for benchtop water filters that provides genuine sub-micron filtration to your drinking water.

Stage 01.

Ceramic Micro-Porous Outer Shell Mechanical Filtration: The ceramic shell removes suspended solids, bacteria, and cysts, offering an absolute pore structure of 0.5 microns or less (with >99.9% efficiency at 0.2 micron). Silver Impregnation: The ceramic is impregnated with silver to act as an antimicrobial agent, preventing bacterial growth on the filter surface and enhancing the lifespan of the candle. Cleanable Surface: The ceramic surface can be cleaned to remove accumulated sediment, restoring the flow rate.

Stage 02.

AquaMetix® Granular Core Technology Chemical Adsorption: Inside the ceramic shell, the AquaMetix core utilises a blend of materials, including granular activated carbon, to target specific chemical contaminants.

Filter Capacity

We recommend replacing this cartridge every 6-12 months or 2000L (whichever comes first). The frequency of replacement is subject to your local water quality and usage. The CeraMetix Wide Imperial Ceramic Candle With Fluoride Reduction is imported from the United States and NSF Certified, making it the ideal filter candle option for filtering your drinking water, especially if you are using tank, bore or spring water.
