Cerasyl Plus and B-2 Post Filters Technical

CeraSyl Plus Slimline ceramic filter elements

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.

Pathogenic bacteria

Cholera, Typhoid, Salmonella, Serratia, Fecal Coliform >99.99%
E. coli - 100%

Cysts

Cryptosporidium Parvum, Giardia Lamblia - 100% removal

Sediment

Down to 0.8 micron - 100%
0.3 - 0.5 micron >99.99%
Turbidity >99.7%

Organic Chemicals

Pesticides, herbicides and organic solvents
Metals

Iron, Aluminum
Taste & Color

Hydrogen Sulphide, Iron, Etc.

Tested to meet NSF Standards 42 & 53

Recommended cleaning frequency…… 6 months or when flow rate is noticeably lower

Recommended change frequency………………………....................... Every 12 months



B - 2 Fluoride / Metal Reduction Element

This filter element is designed to reduce heavy metals, fluoride, color, Bromine, Pesticides, and chlorine/choramine in drinking water. The rate of adsorbtion is determined by contact time between the incoming water and time in the cartridge.

Adsorption will vary dependent upon the contaminants aimed for removal. Some contaminants will be more easily filtered with low pH range, whilst others will be more effective at a higher level. Percentage of reductions will vary from 50% to 95% over the life of the filter element based on the level of contaminant (s) found in your water supply.

Reduction efficiencies

Aluminum >80%

Arsenic III >80%

Arsenic V >80%

Cadmium >80%

Chromium VI >80%

Copper >90%

Iron >80%

Lead >95%

Manganese >80%

Mercury >50%

Nickel >90%

Silver >50%

Zinc >90%

Will also reduce Strontium, Uranium and Vanadium.

Due to the wide variety of contaminants that this filter can reduce, it is highly recommended that a water analysis be conducted prior to installation of this media cartridge. The suggested filter change will range based on water conditions. Please consult your dealer for specific replacement periods based on your analysis.
