Henry Doulton discovered that filteringwater through a porous ceramic couldstop people becoming sick from choleraand other water-borne diseases.

This was a revolution in water treatment.

QUALITYMANAGEMENT

Quality StandardsManufactured in England by FaireyIndustrial Ceramics Limited under ISOconditions to ensure product consistencyand reliability, Doulton® and BritishBerkefeld® filters regularly undergorigorous testing both in our ownlaboratory facilities and by independentlaboratories to ensure that our customersreceive first class products every time.

Independent quality control approvalssuch as the NSF International standard42 and 53, and WRAS approval ensuresthat product performance claims areverified to the highest level.

Today...Fast forward 175 years and the ceramic filtration technology has advanced a longway, but the principles of our ceramic filters remain the same - providing safe, healthy,great-tasting drinking water wherever and whenever you need it. From a mud hut inUganda to an office block in Utah, Doulton® and British Berkefeld® filters are workinground-the-clock to provide millions of people with water they can enjoy and trust.

Doulton® and British Berkefeld® filtersoffer you bottled water quality on tap24 hours a day. Our unique ceramicfiltration technology produces drinkingwater of unrivalled quality.All our filter grades remove >99.99%of pathogenic bacteria and diseasecausing cysts. Most grades alsoremove chlorine and improve thetaste and odour of the water, whileothers are also capable of takingout heavy metals such as toxic lead.

Healthy waterhealthy life

Healthy waterthat doesn’t costthe EarthBottled water is expensive to buy,produces a lot of plastic waste, andthe carbon footprint of transportingthose bottles of water is enormous.

Installing a filter system in your homeoffers a much greener as well ascheaper alternative way of drinkinggood quality water. However, evenmost filter systems require frequentreplacement of plastic cartridges /housings, which can itself generatea considerable amount of plasticwaste. Our approach is different.By using long-life reusable filterhousings fitted with long-life reusablefilter elements made from naturalmaterials, we are able to cut downon waste as well as giving you bettervalue for money.

The secret is that the ceramic shellof our Doulton® and British Berkefeld®

filter elements can be scrubbedclean many times, extending the lifeof the filter element and meaningthat you do not have to replace yourfilter so often. Good water withoutthe environmental or financial cost.

The right solutionfor youWe aim to provide a drinking watersolution suitable for every situation;whether you need a filter unit fittedunderneath your sink, in the back ofyour water cooler, sitting on yourcounter top, or mounted on your wall.You can even take our gravity filtersto places where there is no runningwater at all.

Why a ceramic filter?The small and complex pore structure of Doulton®

and British Berkefeld® ceramics makes them an idealfilter medium for drinking water:

High Efficiency Filter:Doulton® and British Berkefeld® filters are capable ofremoving more than 99.99% of pathogenic bacteria,disease causing cysts such as Cryptosporidium andGiardia, and particles.

Long Life/Value for Money:As confirmed by the user instructions supplied withthe product, the outer shell of Doulton® and BritishBerkefeld® ceramic drinking water filters may becleaned in order to prolong the life of the product.In this way, the filter can be re-used rather thanreplaced, giving it a much longer life-span than manyother products on the market, saving you money.On average, a Doulton® or British Berkefeld® filtercandle will remain effective for at least 6 months(depending on usage and water quality) before it willneed to be replaced.

Anti-Bacterial Action:FICL’s ceramics contain a proprietary system toinhibit microbiological growth, meaning that there isno need to sterilise Doulton® or British Berkefeld®

ceramic filters.

Retains Essential Minerals:Doulton® and British Berkefeld® ceramic filters keepthose minerals in the water, which are beneficial tohealth.

No Power Required:Doulton® and British Berkefeld® drinking water filtersdo not require electricity to function, which meansthat they are cost-effective to run, are not vulnerableto interruption of power supplies, and can be usedwhere there are no power supplies.
