Filter Cartridge Choice

Village Pottery Company ceramic purifiers come
with a choice of either a SCP FLUORIDE PLUS™ filter or Doulton Super Sterasyl®. Below are the key features of each of these filters.

SCP FLUORIDE PLUS™ filter

Imported by Southern Cross Pottery, the SCP FLUORIDE PLUS™ filter is manufactured in England by KLT FILTRATION. Unlike reverse osmosis and distillation, the filtration system used for our fluoride water purifiers does not remove healthful minerals, such as calcium, potassium and magnesium, and does not leave the water tasting “flat” This is accomplished by the use of proprietary carbon based media containing di-calcium phosphate for the adsorption of a wide range of chemical contaminants including most heavy metals, chlorine, chloramines and fluoride.
