Welcome to GravityFilter.Com, a part of H2oFilters.Com specializing in Gravity Filters
For customers who do not have a reliable pressurised mains water supply, whether it is at home, on a campsite, or in a holiday cottage, a gravity filter enables you to have clean filtered drinking water on tap. Water is poured manually into the upper chamber. It passes through the filter candles under pressure of gravity into the lower chamber where the filtered water can be accessed via a tap on the front of the filter.
Common pathogenic bacteria found in water supplies include:
- E-coli
- Salmonella
- Legionella
- Cholera
- Salmonella Typhi (Typhoid)
- Shigella
- Klebsiella
These bacteria are not often found in chlorinated mains water supplies, but are often found in unchlorinated private water supplies, and stored water. Stored water, whether it is in a water tank or a bottle, is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. It does not take long for the bacteria to multiply sufficiently to reach infective dose (disease causing) levels.
Pathogenic bacteria are responsible for many of the common types of potentially fatal water-borne disease around the world. Doulton� and British Berkefeld� water filters have been proven by independent laboratory testing to be highly effective against pathogenic bacteria.
