Doulton Water Filters

HCP101 - Counter Top

CU1200 UltraCarb Ceramic Filter

HCP 101

Basic Drinking Water Filter System for Rural or City

The HCP101 is an in-line Doulton water filter pressure housing molded from Acetal and Polyester materials. The housing is fitted into a free standing base for counter top use. It is readily attached to an existing cold water faucet via a diverter valve and a length of flexible tubing (supplied). This unit requires no permanent modifications to be attached to a kitchen or bathroom faucet. The diverter valve allows filtered or unfiltered water to be drawn from the existing faucet at the press of a button. A Doulton Ceramic Drinking Water Filter cartridge; CU1200 3 stage UltraCarb is the only recommended cartridge for single element units.

To service or replace the internal ceramic cartridge the "sump" (white section) is unscrewed counterclockwise. There is no need to remove the system from the faucet during this procedure. The sump is pressure sealed with an "O" ring, therefore no tools are required to tighten the sump into place. Hand pressure is sufficient. Flow rate is 0.5GPM@30PSI.

 

CU1200 UltraCarb Ceramic Water Filter

UltraCarb ceramic water filter candles are three stage cleanable filtration cartridges, designed to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, chlorine, organic chemicals, hydrogen sulphide, heavy metals and lead in drinking water. In addition they will improve taste and reduce odors.

This cartridge is designed for use with well, surface or Chlorinated Municipal water and distribution systems constructed with soldered copper plumbing, galvanized, PVC, or black iron plumbing. This cartidge is also effective for homes which are fed by lead lined or asbestos concrete reinforced water supply mains in their city.

This ceramic provides: 100% rejection of Bacteria, Cysts, absolute depth filtration >.9 micron and effective depth filtration of particulate >.5 micron (dirt, asbestos, iron etc), excellent improvement in Taste and Odor, plus the added bonus of Chemical, Lead and Heavy Metal Rejection.

Though not reaching purification standards by itself, this cartridge still produces outstanding rejection of Chlorine (>97%) and Lead (>97%) at its rated life of 600 gallons. Both of these statistics exceed the NSF certification requirements under NSF International Standard 53. The 600 gallon (720 G/US) rating is to ensure that the internal extruded carbon core and Zeolite ion reduction medium remains effective under the worst possible contaminant conditions.

This ceramic is easily cleaned and requires no tools to service.
