Advanced 4-Stage Filtration Technology
The Doulton UltraCarb is more than just a filter; it is a multi-stage purification powerhouse. The first stage consists of a micro-porous ceramic shell that provides a fine physical barrier to particles and bacteria. The second stage is silver-impregnated to prevent bacterial growth (bacteriostatic). The third stage features a high-density carbon block to remove chlorine and organics, while the final stage specifically targets and reduces heavy metals like lead.

For Pressure Filters (Under-Counter/Countertop):
- Place the rubber O-ring over the threaded mount and screw the candle into the housing until a seal is made. Do not over-tighten.
- Flush the filter by running water to waste for 10 minutes.
- Allow the filter to stand unused overnight, then flush again for 10 minutes before use.
For Gravity Filters:
- Place the sealing washer over the mount, secure it through the upper housing hole with the wing nut. Do not over-tighten.
- Discard the first full chamber of filtered water.
- Run water until it is clear; your filter is then ready for use.
Restore Flow Rate: Over time, the ceramic shell will trap particles, which may reduce water flow. To restore performance, simply remove the cartridge and scrub the surface evenly with a clean abrasive kitchen pad under running water.
Safety Tip: When cleaning, ensure the open-ended plastic mount stays clear of the water to avoid any contamination of the purified interior.
Common Questions
How often should I replace the Doulton UltraCarb filter?
For optimal performance and health safety, it is recommended to replace the filter every 6 months or after filtering 2,300 litres of water, whichever comes first.
Can I clean the ceramic filter if the water flow slows down?
Yes! One of the best features of Doulton ceramic filters is that they are cleanable. You can gently scrub the outer shell with an abrasive pad under running water to remove surface buildup and restore flow.
Does this filter remove fluoride?
While the UltraCarb is exceptionally effective against bacteria, lead, and chemicals, it is not specifically designed for fluoride removal. If you require fluoride reduction, we recommend our specialized fluoride-reduction cartridges.
