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% 
E.ColiGreater than 99.99%
KlebsiellaGreater than 99.99%
CholeraGreater than 99.99%
ShigellaGreater than 99.99%
SalmonellaGreater than 99.99%
Giardia Lambia100%
Live Cryptosporidium*100%

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.
