Quality Doulton Drinking Water Filters for City Water Use - keep your water clean from the start.

The HCP200 is two in-line pressure filter housings molded from Acetal and Polyester materials. The housings are fitted into a free standing base for counter top use. The unit is readily attached to an existing cold water faucet via a DV3003 diverter valve and a length of flexible tubing (supplied). This unit requires no permanent modifications to be attached to a kitchen or bathroom faucet. The diverter valve allows filtered or unfiltered water to be drawn from the existing faucet at the press of a button.

This system includes: a cleanable Doulton Ceramic Drinking Water Filter cartridge: CU1200 UltraCarb Doulton Ceramic Candle for the first housing and a disposable CR2500 VOC/Heavy Metal cartridge for the second housing.

To clean, service or replace either the CU1200 ceramic or CR2500 disposable cartridge, the "sump" (white section) is simply unscrewed. The sump is pressure sealed with an "O" ring, therefore no tools are required to loosen or tighten the sump into place. Hand pressure is sufficient. Flow rate is .5GPM@30PSI.
 

More about the system

Application: This system is designed as the quality standard for homes fed by well, surface or Chlorinated Municipal water and constructed with soldered copper plumbing, PVC, galvanized or black iron plumbing supply. This system is highly effective for homes which are fed by lead lined or concrete reinforced water supply mains in their city.

This cartridge combination provides: 100% rejection of Bacteria and Cysts; Depth filtration of particulate >.2 micron (dirt, asbestos, iron etc); Outstanding improvement in Taste and Odor, plus the added bonus of increased Chemical, Lead and Heavy Metal Rejection. The 600 gallon (720 G/US) rating is to ensure that the internal extruded carbon core and Zeolite ion reduction medium remains effective under the worst possible contaminant conditions.  Stainless Steel Model also available.
 

Filter Replacement Guide:

CU1200 - Super Sterasyl Ceramic Candle. Self sterilizing for the removal of organics, inorganics, lead, VOC's and heavy metals. Ideal for bacteria sterilization. Must be used before other filters if used with well or other non treated water.

CR2500 - Carbon matrix with added resin. For the removal of VOC's, heavy metals and pesticides. This filter has greater heavy metal reduction properties than the CM1500.

Why Ceramic?

Doulton ceramic is made from Kieselguhr Diatomaceous Earth and fired to above 1000 degrees Celsius. Over 80,000 overlapping pores make up each element. This feature provides absolute mechanical filtration to .9 of a micron. 99.999% rejection of bacteria and cysts. Bacteria and any other foreign particles as small as .2 of a micron are trapped on the outside of the element while the water passes through the ceramic wall to the inside of the element.
 

Why Bacteriostatic?

This simply means self sterilizing. The entire ceramic wall is impregnated with oligodynamic silver. Silver has been long proven as a disinfectant which insures that bacteria trapped in the ceramic's pores are killed thereby eliminating any threat of bacteria colonization.

Inside the Ceramic shell is a post filter which is manufactured by combining a zeolite metal ion reduction medium, granular carbon and powdered carbon to form a tightly packed matrix. This post filter provides two key features; Chemical Reduction (chlorine, pesticides, solvents, etc.) and Heavy Metal Reduction (lead, iron, aluminum, etc.) Medical authorities are now identifying heavy metals as key players in the degradation of mental health in humans.
