Doulton 7 Inch Super Sterasyl Filter Candle W9361160
WHAT IS A FILTER CANDLE?
The ceramic of a filter candle is cast in such a way that it has one domed closed end. The other end of the ceramic is open. This open end is closed off with a food grade plastic mount, which enables the candle to fit into a filter housing. Water passes from the outside of the candle to the inside, leaving particles of dirt, bacteria, etc. on the outside of the ceramic. The filtered water then passes out of the candle through the mount.
There are 2 standard types of mount (long and short). The length of mount required is determined by the type of housing into which it is to be fitted.
| The short mount is ¾ inch or 19mm long. | |
| The long mount is 1 ¼ inch or 36mm long. |
Both long and short terminate in a ¼ inch BSP male thread.
| This candles is available in ONE standard length, to fit the SS or LP Gravity Filter unit-SEVEN INCHES Long. SUPER STERASYL™ 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. Granular carbon is not as effective as a carbon block under pressure conditions. Therefore, in a pressure filter, Supercarb™ should be used for chlorine and organics removal.
