Each Kyn & Folk gravity fed benchtop ceramic water filter comes with your choice of water filter candle. This filter candle is the filtration system that is used to deliver clean, fresh water to your lips. 

We provide two filter candle options for our ceramic vessels. 

UltraCeram Fluoride Removal Filter Candle

The UltraCeram Fluoride Removal Filter Candle combines mechanical filtration and physical adsorption processes to filter a wide variety of drinking water contaminants of both aesthetic and health concerns.

The combination of ultra-fine ceramic and quality carbon block guarantees absolute sub-micron filtration, superior removal of contaminants and great tasting drinking water.

Stage 1 - The UltraCeram Gravity filter is made from the highest quality NSF certified (ANSI61) ceramic outer shell and provides 0.5 micron absolute filtration, removing sediment, bacteria, cysts and parasites.

Stage 2 - Impregnated with silver ions the UltraCeram Gravity filter’s ceramic media has enhanced bacteriostatic and self sterilising properties, inhibiting bacteria growth.

Stage 3 - The UltraCeram Gravity filter’s patented inner core of activated carbon and other adsorbent materials remove fluoride, chlorine, organic compounds, chloramines, herbicides and heavy metals.

The UltraCeram Fluoride Removal Filter Candle is Certified for the reduction of:
  • Pathogenic bacteria 99.9999% - E. Coli and similar sized bacteria

  • Bacteria (e.Coli, Chlorea, Shigella, Salmonella) 99.99%
  • Turbidity 99.69%
  • Chlorine 50% (in pressure fed system)
  • Chlorine 95% (in gravity fed systems)
  • Guinea Worm 100%

We recommend replacing this cartridge every 6 to 12 months or 2000L (whichever comes first) depending on water quality and usage.
