7 Inch Super Sterasyl Candle Water Filter Element
The cleanable water filter element is designed to reduce suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, organic chemicals, and improve taste and odor. The water filter elements are produced using the latest ceramic techniques to provide a hollow, porous surface which is then heated at temperatures exceeding 1000'C. They are designed to operate with non pressurized water flow starting from the outside to the inside of the element.
The ceramic shell exhibits a strictly controlled pore structure, so as to provide efficient sub-micron filtration, a proven defense against hard shelled parasites such as Cryptosporidium, as well as removing other less harmful, but equally unpleasant particulate debris, such as rust and dirt. The bore of the filter candle contains granular activated carbon that aids in the removal of chlorine, reduces organic chemicals and improves the color, taste, and odor of the source water.
The Sterasyl element has a unique domed ceiling assuring that leakage cannot occur as may happen with capped filters.
