Ceramic Filtration Process 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 at removing particles from water. Ceramic material has a small and intricate pore structure, making it an ideal filtration medium. The pore structure of Doulton® and British Berkefeld® ceramic drinking water filters is precisely controlled. This expertise provides the filters with the necessary pore structure to remove a wide range of waterborne contaminants throughout their lifespan. To understand the size of pores smaller than 1 micron, consider that the width of a human hair is 100 microns. Doulton® and British Berkefeld® water filters have been continuously manufactured in England for over 185 years. In the 19th century, the Thames River served as both London's main water source and a sewage channel. Henry Doulton® discovered that filtering water through porous ceramic could prevent people from contracting cholera and other waterborne diseases. Fairey Industrial Ceramics Limited (FICL) is the sole manufacturer of the world-renowned 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 hub of the UK’s ceramic industry.
Every stage of FICL’s drinking water filter production process complies with strict BS EN ISO 9001 quality standards. FICL’s drinking water filters hold the highest international testing certifications, including NSF and WRAS.
Our high-quality standards have made Doulton® and British Berkefeld® globally sought-after brands in household water filtration systems.
The first ceramic filter, named Sterasyl, was created 180 years ago to mechanically remove particles as small as 0.5 microns from water. Over the years, as water filtration needs evolved, this ceramic filter technology was further developed to incorporate silver ions, activated carbon granules (Super Sterasyl), heavy metal removal (Ultra Sterasyl), and fluoride removal (Ultra Fluoride Sterasyl), adapting to modern demands.
