Aqua Cure are now the only authorised distributor for Doulton water filters in the UK. We’ve been stocking their filters for a long time now but maybe it’s worth another look at what makes Doulton ceramic filters unique.

Taste The Doulton Difference

Doulton ceramic filter are ideal for improving your domestic drinking water as they combine the anti-bacterial protection of a of high performance ceramic shell with (in Doulton Super Sterasyl and above) granular activated carbon (GAC) or a carbon block for the reduction of chlorine taste and odour. The additional options for fluoride or heavy metal reduction means that you can tailor your filtration system to your water supply, ensuring that you and your family are drinking water that is healthy, clean and free of impurities or contaminants.

Doulton W9220406 Ceramic Water Filter

Unique Properties

Due to the ceramic material that Doulton use to make their filters, they have many features that carbon water filters don’t. A ceramic surface has a complex structure tiny pores which allow water molecules through but are too small for more than 99.99% of pathogenic bacteria, cysts and particles. Not only do Doulton filters provide an incredibly effective physical barrier against contaminants but they are actually impregnated with a small amount (about 0.07%) of pure silver, which has powerful antibacterial properties.

Specific Treatment

As we’ve looked into before, there can be more than just H2O in your glass when you fill it from the tap. Over 6.1 million people in the UK receive water containing fluoride. Though proven to reduce tooth decay, fluoride is controversial with claims that exposure can effect cognitive development in children. Doulton manufacture a fluoride reduction cartridge that can reduce the fluoride content of your drinking water, whether naturally occurring or artificially fluoridated.

Your drinking water could also contain lead which, if consumed, can accumulate in the body over time and cause health problems. Though lead pipework has been removed from the mains water network, some older residences may still have lead pipework installed inside the property boundary. Standard Doulton Ultracarb filters include media which removes lead and other toxic heavy metals.

Cryptosporidium

Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite which causes stomach cramps and diarrhoea and can be quite dangerous to those with existing health issues. Cryptosporidium, which is resistant to chlorine, has made the headline several times in recent years after outbreaks in Lancashire and County Mayo left residents having to boil their water to make it safe to drink for months at a time.

Cryptosporidium cysts are physically too large to pass through the fine pore structure of Doulton’s ceramic filters, making them one of the best methods for making sure your domestic water is safe to drink.

Micron Ratings

Doulton ceramic filters, commonly known as ‘candles’ come in a variety of grades. These grades dictate the micron rating, i.e. the size of the pores in the filter’s surface.

Doulton Ceramic Filters

All Doulton ceramic candles from the Doulton Sterasyl range upwards have an absolute filtration rating of 0.9 microns which means that particle or organisms of 0.9μm and larger are retained with 99.99% efficiency under strictly defined test conditions. We also stock Doulton Ultracarb filters which have a 0.5 micron nominal rating, which means that the filter retains the majority of particulate (60 - 98%) of 0.5μm or larger. These micron ratings are significantly better than equivalent carbon filters which generally have higher absolute ratings than ceramic filters.

Environmentally Friendly

Doulton ceramic candles are produced from natural materials and contain minimal plastic. With the plastic mounts removed, the ceramic candles are actually biodegradable[4] and can be disposed of in land fill. If you’re careful (the ceramic shell is fragile) Doulton ceramic candles can also be cleaned using a toothbrush or scouring pad to significantly extend their service life.

And the biggest environmental benefit of all, as we’ve looked at previously in our knowledge base, is that using a water filter reduces the need to buy bottled water which contributes massively to the current epidemic of plastic pollution. To put this into perspective, a single Doulton Steracyl candle has a capacity of 10,000 litres before it needs replacing, enough water to fill 20,000 half litre plastic bottles.

Two UK Water Cooler Associations merge to Form New Trade Body: The Watercooler & Hydration Association (WHA)

Members of the British Water Cooler Association (BWCA) and the members of the European Drinking Water Cooler Association (EDWCA) Voted at this years AGMs to amalgamate and form a new, combined Association to replace the two separate existing trade associations.

Speaking on this important move, the BWCA’s Chairman Jon Wicks said: “This industry has been well served by both Associations. Now that the sector has grown to become £140 million in value with consistent growth over the past 6 years, the time seemed right to improve still further the representation of the existing Members of both Associations. It seems wise to have a single body to lobby, set standards of excellence and promote sustainable and healthy hydration”.

James Anderton the EDWCA’s Chairman said: “The new body will be well-placed to tackle all of this and more. Jon Wicks and I are proud to have led our respective associations towards making this important change”.

The new Association will be named The Watercooler & Hydration Association (WHA) with an official launch date of 1st January 2020 to provide single representation for the industry – resulting in a more clear, concise industry standard voice.

Aqua Cure are looking forward to Vendex this year and will be on stand 30 with a whole host of products we are very excited to be presenting to the vending industry.

Water Filter Recycle BinAqua Cure Filter Recycling Scheme

The most exciting news this month is not in the form of a product but rather a new service: Aqua Cure have recently launched a filter recycling service for certain types of resin filter. Once the used filters are returned, all the useful components are recovered and the remaining plastic is turned into pellets ready to be reused for other plastic products. It’s a great way to protect the planet and boost your company’s environmental credentials. We are currently accepting all used Everpure Claris, Claris Ultra, ESO6 and H-SCALE cartridges and may also be able to help recycle other manufacturer’s filters – please contact us to discuss this further at recycle@aquacure.co.uk or see our Water Filter Recycling page.

iHub & iMeter Internet Connected Digital Flow metersBluetooth / Wifi Connected Digital Flow Meter

Aqua Cure have been having considerable success with trials of their new iMeter / iHub digital flow meters. The iMeter is a small, compact digital flow meter that relays filter capacity information to an app via Bluetooth while the optional iHub gives the user remote access to flow meter information online via the cloud. The iMeter and iHub can be retrofitted to existing filter installations and are perfect for monitoring your estate without ever having to visit site. For more info, see our iMeter page.

Hydro+ Scale FilterHydro+ Scale Filter – Reusable Housing Reduces Plastic Waste

To supplement the environmentally friendly theme this year, Aqua Cure will also be exhibiting the Hydro+ Scale filter system with its clever reusable housing. By retaining the plastic housing and only replacing the internal filter element, plastic waste is reduced meaning a lower carbon footprint and lower costs for replacement filters. Combining minimal plastic waste, recyclable inserts and increased boiler efficiency resulting from reduced scale means the Hydro+ Scale range presents a genuinely environmentally alternative to other water filter systems.

For more information on the water treatment solutions for this market, please see the vending section of our website.
