Doulton... Worldwide experience in removing
waterborne bacteria and contaminants since 1827- Pure and
Simple.
Developed by Doulton, the microporous ceramic
element, combined with the latest extruded carbon-block technology,
effectively removes waterborne bacteria and toxic chemicals - efficiently
and 100% naturally.
How the Doulton System Works
The heart of every Doulton Water Purifier is its exclusive
Sterasyl element. The ceramic element uses the natural properties
of highly specialized diatomaceous earth (Kieselguhr), which
is extruded and fired into a hollow porous matrix.
1.
Tap water under pressure, flows from outside toward the inside
of the sub-micron ceramic element.
2. Impurities unable
to penetrate through the microscopic channels of the ceramic
matrix, such as bacteria, Cryptosporidium and other micro
organisms, are simply trapped on or near the surface of the
element.
3. Bacteria-free water enters through the core
of the highly activated extruded carbon block - another
natural component of Doulton's ceramic element, which is used
to reduce chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, toxic chemicals,
as well as taste and odors which may be present in your
water. |

Throughout this molecular process water retains the
high-oxygen content that gives it its spring-fresh
flavor.
4. In addition, both negative (-) and positive
(+) adsorptive forces are permanently induced into the ceramic
and carbon media to remove oppositely charged contaminants
even smaller than those removed by the micro-straining
action.
5. Impregnation of the ceramic element with silver renders its
surface bacteriostatic - that is, bacteria cannot grow on the
surface. This ensures that you can change or clean the cartridge
with no fear of contamination. In contrast to the silver which
is used in activated carbon filters, the silver in the ceramic
element is in a form which will not readily leach out, so its
effectiveness exceeds the life of the element.
An
important feature of the Supercarb element is its capability
to be cleaned. Frequency of cleaning depends on the quality of
the water supply but a simple scrub with a stiff brush or
nylon scouring pad will restore the element to a clean
condition - another Doulton exclusive.

You know it's working
Unlike ordinary charcoal or carbon filters that let most of
the impurities pass through without clogging, the Supercarb element
does clog, due to its sub-micron filtration capabilities. Over time,
impurities trapped on the surface of the element will begin to restrict
the water flow, indicating the need for cleaning or changing.
Performance
The Supercarb element is capable of producing approximately
1,000 gallons (4,000 liters) of the highest quality drinking water -
good for about nine months to a year for most families. Actual usage
depends on the amounts and kinds of impurities in tap water.
Cartridge replacement is as simple as changing a light
bulb.
As a registered Doulton
owner you will also receive a reminder when it's time to replace
your unit's Supercarb element.
Setting the Standards
Doulton water purifiers have been tested and certified to The
World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. EPA-approved laboratory
standards, European-approved laboratory standards and the national
laboratory standards of over 50 countries. In fact, they are the
only products in this industry to meet the rigid standards of ISO
9000.
- Exceeds ANSI / NSF Standard 53 criteria for
cyst reduction (100% removal of Giardia and Crypto oosysts) and
CDC / EPA guidance on drinking water for people with severely
weakened immune systems.
Doulton's extensive laboratories are continually striving to
set new standards in water quality throughout the world.
The
future holds no promise for safe drinking water. The only promise is
in Doulton's continued pledge, achieved through the best in
technology combined with enduring craftsmanship, to make the world's
most effective water purifiers.
All at a small fraction of the cost of nationally advertised
bottled water !
Doulton... A Product Second to None!
