Ceramic Water Filter How does it work?

When contaminated water is poured through a ceramic water filter, it is purified in three ways:

A pore size of 1.3 microns filters out turbidity, larger bacteria and parasites
Colloidal silver creates a hostile environment for bacteria, breaking down the cell membrane as it passes through.
One half inch of activated charcoal integrated into the core of the filter improves taste,odor, and color.


The technology of the FilterPure ceramic water filter is simple, effective, and, sustainable. A round-bottom ceramic pot is made from a mixture of clay, a combustible material (sawdust or rice husks), and silver. After the clay and combustible have both been sieved through a fine mesh, they are mixed together with a measured amount of silver and water until a homogeneous mixture is formed.

The mixture is then molded into filters using a filter press, which are slowly dried and kiln fired. During the firing process, the combustible material is burned out leaving micro pores coated with the silver to clean the water. During the firing process, about ½ inch of charcoal is produced within the filter core which further improves the water.
