The ceramics are designed to remove suspended solids and pathogenic bacteria. The ceramic elements may be used in either gravity or pressure filter housing.
- Minimum working pressure ……………………125 psig
- Maximum working temperature ………………100 F
- Minimum working temperature ………………. 40 F
- Recommended flow rate ……………………….5 gal/min
- Recommended cleaning frequency …….. every 3 to 6 months or when flow rate is noticeably lower
Contaminant Removal
Pathogenic bacteria
Cholera, Typhoid, Salmonella, Serratia, E Coli, Fecal Coliforms – >99.99% removal
Cysts
Cryptosporidium Parvum and Giardia Lamblia – I00% removal (based on tests by Arizona State University)
Sediment
Down to 0. 9 micron, 100%; 0.5 – 0.8 micron with a filter efficiency of >99.99% (based on tests by Spectrum Laboratories, Minneapolis, MN)
Standard filter elements require sterilization after cleaning. To do this, place the candle in a container of water and boil for 20 minutes. Allow the candle to cool before replacing it in the filter housing.
* NOTE: It is important to remember that the outer surface of these or any other non-self-sterilizing cartridges may be covered with harmful bacteria, so sensible hygiene precautions should be taken during handling, cleaning, refitting into the housing or disposal.
