The Doulton®
water filtration systems
are the original gravity-fed water
purifiers, and have been used since 1827.

You've probably heard of the "British Berky" water systems,
sold on many websites. They are simply copies of the original Doulton
systems. In fact, the "new" Berky systems are not only
NOT made in England, but they now use a lower quality black filter,
which can't be cleaned and reused (like the original Doulton ceramic
filter), but the black filters preform no better than filters you
can buy at Home Depot!

Doulton®water
filter systems are especially designed to micro-filter a supply
of safe drinking water from cisterns, ponds, streams, and other
sources of questionable water. These very reliable filters are manufactured
to the highest grade available in the world. They are corrosion
resistant, hygienic, durable, and easy to clean.
Doulton®water
filters are also compact, portable, and simple to operate. Requiring
no external plumbing, each filter takes only minutes to assemble
and can provide up to 24 gallons or more of safe drinking water
each day. The high-tech silver-impregnated ceramic elements feature
a nominal filtration efficiency of : 0.2 microns, greater
than 98%, at 0.5 microns, greater than 99.9%, and
at 0.9 microns, greater than 99.99% which effectively
blocks waterborne pathogens and clarifies the water.
These filters are in common everyday
use in households across the world, and are particularly effective
on private well systems. Their replacable filter elements have an
activated carbon core and are designed to remove undesirable tastes,
odors, and many organic chemicals.
The ease of operation combined with
a proven effectiveness at eliminating water-borne diseases such
as cholera and typhoid has led to the filter being the preferred
unit for field operations by many of the world's major aid and emergency
relief organizations.
- Produces safe drinking water from lakes,
cisterns, streams, etc.
- Reliable design uses gravity — no pumps
to wear out
- Long lasting filter elements will filter
up to 60,000 gallons (using four elements), depending on turbidity
level of the water being filtered and proper care of the filter
elements
What the filter
will remove
- Absolute filtration efficiency to 0.5 microns
(U.S.)
- For particles 0.2 microns, efficiency is
greater than 98%; from 0.3 to 0.5 microns, filtration efficiency
is greater than 99%

How the filter
works
The special ceramic elements are
manufactured specifically for use in this gravity filter. Doulton®
ceramic elements consist of a fine microporous structure, which
forms a complete barrier to all particles larger than 0.5 microns
in size (1 Micron = 1/1,000th of a millimeter). All particles above
this size become trapped on the surface and within the ceramic material.
Fine particles of silver are evenly dispersed within the structure
of the filter element, which prevent the growth of bacteria (mitosis)
within the ceramic wall. The Doulton® elements also contain
an additional activated carbon filling, which removes chemical and
organic compounds from the water and improves its taste and odor.
After passing through the filter
elements, safe, filtered water then collects in the lower chamber
to be drawn off from a tap. The structure of the ceramic material
is designed to be cleanable and regular cleaning of
the element will allow its filtration efficiency to become regenerated.
The elements may be cleaned over 100 times before replacement becomes
necessary.
