The Sterasyl® ceramic is filled with granular activated carbon to produce the Super Sterasyl™ filter element. Among other things, activated carbon is very effective at removing chlorine and organics from water.

Super Sterasyl® uses granular activated carbon instead of an activated carbon block in order to give superior flow rates in a gravity filter.

Supersterasyl membrane: (candle and cartridge form): Used for microbiological removal. The only ceramic element in the world to meet the stringent NSF antimony and arsenic extraction test featuring:

- >99.99% E.coli removal

Tested with live Cryptosporidium cyst to 100% removal far exceeding EPA three log cyst reduction requirements

100% efficiency at 0.9 µm absolute (0.5 µm absolute ANSI standard)

- > 98% efficiency at 0.2 µm

- > 90% efficiency at 0.05 µm

- < 0.07 NTU turbidity reduction

Laboratory Test results show these filters are very efficient at removing impurities such as chlorine, bacteria, amoebas, suspended solids, organic pesticides, some heavy metals, bad tastes and smells. They will remove 99.99% of Giardia and Cryptosporidium. 

- 98% Suspended Solids

- 99.999% of Giardia

- 99.999% of Cryptosporidium

Particulate Reduction

- 0.9micron>99.99%

- 0.5micron>99.9%

- 0.2micron>98%.     

Please note - Higher levels of chlorine, chemical contamination, or sediment, will slightly shorten the life of the filters.
