I am the proud owner of a ceramic (leadless glaze) "Purro Water
Filter" by Royal Doulton, England. It belonged to my Mother who would be
104 if she were alive and I brought it with me from Africa when we
moved to Portugal.
Is it possible that cartridges (candles) are still manufactured
for my filter? It is 47cm high and carries two candles, one of which is
marked "Doulton-super Sterasyl" and has what I call a bakerlite fitting
and is 22cm long from top to bottom (including fitting). The other
candle is longer and has a metal fitting marked Katadyn A G Wallisellen
Zurich.
I would be interested in ordering two new candles and would be grateful if you could let me know details.
The filter you would need for the Puro Water Filter would be two of the
CN-SS 10" Super Sterasyl (L) located on the following link for $ 38.65 ea.:

Hello- thank you for your prompt reply. With regard to the CN-SS 10"
Super Sterasyl(L) filter you indicate, I see that it is recommended that
3 ilters are put into use and my filter only takes 2. Is is this a
problem?
Also, what is the difference between the abovementioned filter
and your Sterasyl CN-S 2"x10" Katadyn Ceradyn drip filter that sells for
$68.50? Does the latter give better performance? i.e. why is it more
nearly double the price?
The CN-SS 10" SuperSterasyl ceramic candle only requires 3 filters
if you're using it in a Katadyn drip filter (which you are not). You can
use just 2 if need be and it will work the same. The CN-S, as
opposed to the CN-SS 2x10 does not contain any activated carbon for
chlorine or chemical removal but the ceramic shell on both candles are
identical as well as ability to filter out particles and sub-micron
contaminants, ie. bacteria. The reason the CN-S is more pricey even
without more ability is because it does not require replacement every 6
months or 1 yr. It is simply cleanable and reusable for several years.
Hello there- sorry to keep coming back but I need to be sure! You
tell me that the reason why your CN-S is more pricey is because it does
not require frequent replacement (which for me is very attractive) but
then you give me to understand that it "does not contain activated
carbon for chlorine or chemical removal" which is surely a
disadvantage?
Perhaps I should let you know that I use my filter
to ensure pure drinking water for my very small household and that I
live in a rural area completely free of any industrial activity and that
the water I get from my tap comes from an underground spring. But I
would like to be sure that my filter acts against such things as
herbicides,pesticides and other nasties, and know that "they" are about
to start employing chlorine in our water installations.
Then you need a filter which contains carbon inside of it, like the SuperSterasyl.
