UltraCeram Gravity Ceramic Water Filter Candle with Fluoride Removal (Replacement)

UltraCeram Gravity Ceramic Water Filter Candle with Fluoride Removal

UltraCeram Gravity Ceramic Water Filter Candle with Fluoride removal is imported from England and is an all in one filter that removes virtually all impurities including chlorine and fluoride and lasts up to 12 months.

This filter removes far more impurities than standard cande filters! As this filter is only 5 inches long it will fit most brands of gravity flitration systems including Southern Cross Pottery, Durand, Waterco, Australis, Stefani and Pozzani.

UltraCeram filter cartridges elements utilize class leading ceramic, micro-porous outer shell combined with a patented core technology – made from high quality NSF certified (ANSI 61) coconut shell based granular activated carbon and other adsorbent medias. The Ceramic media is impregnated with silver ions.

The UltraCeram combines mechanical filtration and physical adsorption processes to reduce a wide variety of drinking water contaminants of both aesthetic and health concerns. The pore structure of the ceramic enables sufficient contact time for the UltraCeram to be ideally suited to improving taste and odour as well as reducing chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds, MTBE, lead, mercury, asbestos, arsenic and fluoride.

The cleanable outer shell is designed to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria and cysts.

Three Stage Filtration

Ceramic Filtration - The ceramic membrane provides genuine sub-micron filtration of fine particle matter, bacteria, cysts and tubidity.

Silver Ions - The incorporation of silver locked within the ceramic structure gives enhanced bacteriostatic and self sterilising properties, inhibiting growth of bacteria.

Granular Activated Carbon - An inner core of activated carbon and other absorbent materials remove chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals and fluoride.

BEFORE Installation

This step is important before installation to ensure correct water flow when filter is installed.

1) Place filter upside down in a glass of water overnight.

2) Remove from the water the following morning and shake for about 10 seconds.

Installation

Install gravity filter candle within the top chamber of your filter system. Gently hand tighten the plastic nut underneath.

After installation, before consumption

Flush the gravity filter candle before consumption by allowing a 2-4 litres of water to pass through the ceramic filter to remove any of the loose activated carbon particles.

Dispose of the first few litres of filtered water that may contain fine carbon particles. The fine particles are harmless and are a result of the manufacturing process.

Initial taste of water with a new filter

It’s normal to notice a slight metallic or earthy taste when using a new filter for the first time. This taste is caused by the carbon inside the filter.

The level of this initial taste can vary slightly from batch to batch, depending on the natural characteristics of the carbon. Some customers may notice no taste at all, while others might experience a mild to strong taste initially. Even those who haven’t noticed a taste in the past may experience it with a new filter at some point. This is completely normal and expected.

The taste typically fades within 1–2 weeks of regular use, which is approximately 28–56 litres of water (based on using around 4 litres per day). Flushing a few extra litres each day can help speed up the process if desired.

Rest assured, the water is safe to drink during this period, and the taste will gradually fade with continued use.

Ceramic Filter Appearance

Due to the nature of ceramic materials, these filters may have minor cosmetic imperfections, such as small scratches or chips. Rest assured, these imperfections do not affect the filter’s performance or durability.
