Doulton Ultra Fluoride and Doulton Super Sterasyl Comparison Chart
Doulton Ultra Fluoride Filter
Imported by Southern Cross Pottery, the Doulton Ultra Fluoride Filter is manufactured in England by Fairey Industries Ceramic Laboratory (Doulton). 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.
