Ceramic filter operation In general, the smaller the pore size of a filter and the more complex the path water takes through the filter medium, the more effective it is in separating particles from water. Ceramic material has a small and complex pore structure, making it an ideal filter medium. The pore structure of Doulton® and British Berkefeld® ceramic drinking water filters is precisely controlled. This expertise gives the candles the pore structure needed to filter a wide variety of waterborne contaminants throughout the life of the filter. To understand the size of pores smaller than 1 micron, it is enough to know that the width of a human hair is 100 microns. Doulton® and British Berkefeld® water filters have been continuously manufactured in the UK for over 185 years. In the 19th century, the River Thames was both the main water source and the sewage system for London. Henry Doulton® discovered that filtering water through porous ceramic could prevent people from becoming ill with cholera and other waterborne diseases. Fairey Industrial Ceramics Limited (FICL) is the sole manufacturer of the world-famous Doulton® and British Berkefeld® ceramic drinking water filters. All ceramic water filter products are manufactured at FICL's factory in North Staffordshire, England, the traditional area of the ceramic industry in the UK.
All stages of FICL's drinking water filter production process conform to the strict BS EN ISO 9001 quality standards. FICL's drinking water filters have NSF and WRAS certifications, the highest international testing standards.
Our high-quality standards are the reason why the Doulton® and British Berkefeld® brands are sought after worldwide in home water filtration systems.
The company named the first ceramic filter, which mechanically cleans particles in water up to 0.5 microns with a simple ceramic filter, Sterasyl, 180 years ago. Over the years, as our water filtration needs changed, this ceramic filter was technologically developed and adapted to today's needs by adding silver ions, activated carbon granules (Super Sterasyl), heavy metal (Ultra Sterasyl), and fluoride (Ultra Fluoride Sterasyl) cleaning features.
