Information : Doulton Ceramic Water Filter Candles . Super
Sterasyl Super Carb . Ultra Carb Ceramic Filter Specifications
At the heart of every Doulton and British Berkefeld ceramic filter is the “Sterasyl” silver impregnated ceramic
microfilter. The incorporation of silver locked within the ceramic structure inhibits the growth of bacteria giving the
ceramics self-sterilizing properties and removes the need for boiling of the filter to remove or kill the impurities within
the ceramic pores. The Doulton range of ceramic filter elements starts with the “Sterasyl” and with added core
medias can become a three stage filter in one, eliminating the need for expensive 4 and 5 stage systems. Doulton
ceramics do not remove the beneficial minerals from the water, ensuring the filtered water is enjoyable to drink and
The
Sterasyl®
grade ceramic is designed to remove suspended solids and
pathogenic bacteria.
This silver content
is about 0.07%, which is well within the allowable levels
recommended by the World Health Organization and the E.P.A.
Because of the silver, Sterasyl®
filter elements do not require sterilization after cleaning.

John Doulton founded
his first pottery in 1815 at Lambreth, England on the banks of the
Thames river. The main products of the original company were ceramic
busts, figurines, canning jars and tableware. Influenced by the unrelenting progress of
the Industrial Revolution, Doulton placed
equal emphasis on industrial applications for ceramic technology. As
early as 1827, this fine china manufacturer was in the water
treatment business, using various earth and clay materials in the
first Doulton water filters, World Leader to

Essence of Life
Composition of the Sterasyl®
ceramic contains pure silver. This silver is a specially
formulated self-sterilizing (bacteriostatic) agent. The
result is that bacterial growth is prevented from occurring
within the Sterasyl®
ceramic element (which is NOT possible with the other ceramic
filter elements.) More importantly, bacterial
"grow-through" is eliminated.

In 1835, Queen Victoria recognized the present health dangers in her
drinking water and commissioned Doulton to produce a water filter
for the Royal household. Doulton created a gravity fed stoneware
filter that combined the technology of a ceramic filter with the
artistry of a hand crafted pottery water container. In consideration
of her pleasure with the new device, Queen Victoria bestowed upon
Doulton the right to embellish each of its units with the ROYAL
CREST.
John Doulton's son, Henry, introduced the Doulton Manganous Carbon
water filter in 1862, the same year that Louis Pasteur's experiments
with bacteria conclusively exploded the myth of Spontaneous
Generation. This more advanced understanding of bacteria made it
possible to direct Research and Development efforts to the creation
of a porous ceramic capable of filtering out these tiny organisms.
By 1901, King Edward knighted Henry Doulton and honored the company
by authorizing it to use the word ROYAL in reference to its
products. In 1906, Doulton introduced a filter that proved to be
equal to the one Louis Pasteur had developed in France. It was
rapidly adopted by hospitals, laboratories and for use in domestic
water filtration throughout the world. The popularity, and
effectiveness of even the early 20th century designs has resulted in
their continued use in Africa and the Middle East. The range and
efficiency of Doulton domestic water filters has been widely
extended over the years to meet the demands of increasingly
sophisticated uses.
At the core of the Doulton ceramic filter element is the most basic
of elements ...EARTH. This is the same substance which artisans,
first in Asia then in Europe, refined into exquisite porcelain and
pottery of the Shoguns and Kings. This material is Diatomaceous
Earth [D.E.], a fossil substance, made up of tiny silicon shells
left by trillions of microscopic, one celled algae called diatoms
that have inhabited the waters of the earth for the last 150 million
years,
Diatoms have one property that sets them apart from other algae.
They weave microscopic shells which they use for the protection and
locomotion. These shells are covered with a pattern of tiny holes so
regular that even the slightest change in their design usually
signifies a different species. As the diatoms died, their. shells
survived, slowly piling up in deposits at the bottom of geological
lakes and lagoons. When these lakes dried up, what remained were
huge deposits of "diatomaceous earth". Today there are
over 1500 uses for Diatomaceous Earth, from abrasives for
toothpaste, filtering agents for water and milk, heat insulators for
kilns, to polishing agents in nail polishes, and many more.
The latest designs of Doulton filter elements incorporate
Oligodynamic silver impregnated into a porous ceramic outer shell
[80,000,000 pores] that can trap bacteria down to as low as .22 of a
micron in particle size [1/100,000 of an inch]. Laboratories
consider a filtering medium with an effective pore size of .01
micron to .45 micron to be bacteriologically sterile and .45 micron
to 1.0 micron to be bacteriologically safe. Regrowth of bacteria
that becomes trapped either on the outside of the element or in the
ceramic's pores is controlled by the silver which, on contact with
water, reduces small quantities of positively charged metals ions.
These ions are taken into the enzyme system of the bacteria's cell
and thereby neutralize it. The flow rate of the ceramic filter can
be easily renewed by simply brushing its outer surface under running
water. As the top layer of ceramic and the contaminants are brushed
off and flushed away, a new layer becomes available. This process
can be repeated several hundred times before the ceramic material is
exhausted.
