The Cerasyl Plus is manufactured to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, cysts, organic chemicals and improve taste and odor. The filter is silver impregnated to prevent bacteria growth and is self-sterilizing. The ceramic shell is manufactured to balance flow rate and consistent pore size in order to provide maximum filtration efficiency. The center of the filter contains coconut shell based granular activated carbon to reduce organic chemicals and improve the color, taste, and odor of drinking water. This filter element is designed for gravity filter use and other low pressure applications.
Contaminant Removal
The majority of pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria and cysts are larger than one micron. The pore size of the filter element is controlled so that it will remove 99.99% of suspended matter larger than 0.3 microns.
