UV light with ceramic filter

I have been purchasing for years now your Imperial Supersterasyl filters. We have purchased a couple of your stainless steel british berkefeld over the years as well.
 We have lived in remote Indonesia and now travel back there each year. We typically purchase many of your candles. 
I am interested in becoming a distributor but also curious if you have any uv lights for removing virus before and or after the drip systems?

 We are not offering Distributorships but we do provide significant discounts (25-34% off List Price) for bulk purchases.
Doulton does not sell UV lights but it is always good to use a ceramic filter prior to the UV application. UVs do not work efficiently on turbid water or water which doesn't provide enough contact time with the light.

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

I've a Doulton Ultracarb counter top filters - 2 candles.  I did a TDS test on a cup of filter water and it has TDS value of 260. This result is much higher compared to a bottle of Dasani which is only 50. I wonder what the average TDS level is for the Doulton filtered water? How can I reduce TDS level in my Douton filtered water?

 Because TDS consists mostly of dissolved minerals and salts in the water, you will not see a drastic reduction in TDS, nor should it be an accurate measure of water quality. Our filters leave essential minerals in tact, while technologies such as Reverse Osmosis (Dasani) and Distillation strip them from the water making a very acidic/aggressive water.

Under counter Water Filters

Can you tell me what the difference is between your under counter water filter and a 5 stage reverse osmosis system? I am looking to remove fluoride from my water.Can you also send me a list of the specific contaminants/chemicals that your system removes and the percentage of removal?
Also, does your system require a storage tank? If not, why not?

This is a good link which educates you on the difference in water treatment technologies: http://doultonusa.com/HTML%20pages/water_treatment_technologies.htm.
For fluoride removal you will need a Doulton 200 series under counter filter, IP200UC+. It does not require a storage tank because (unlike R.O.) it produces water on demand at a steady 1/2 gallon per minute. R.O. requires storage tank because it wastes 3-4 gallons for every gallon of water it produces. The 200 series filter will contain 2 cartridges within. The specs for these cartridges are on the links: http://doultonusa.com/ultracarb_imperial_cartridge.pdf (Ultracarb ceramic candle) and http://doultonusa.com/Inorganic%20elements%20specs/A-2_Element.pdf (fluoride specific candle).

DoultonUSA (CUSTOMER FEEDBACK/CUSTOMER SERVICE)

 I just want to thank you for all the help with our new under sink water filtration system. For years we have used a PUR filter that attaches to the faucet. We live in the country and were changing a $19 filter every 2 to 3 weeks. I have ordered for years from Allergy Buyers Club and called them to see what they would recommend. I actually called 2 separate times to talk to 2 separate customer service agents. They both recommended the Doulton. However, they both told me that it is not recommended for someone with a well.
In frustration, I finally called DoultonUSA. Best decision I ever made. First of all they KNOW the products. Second of all they stopped me from buying something that was way more than I needed. Thirdly, the faucet fixture itself was so superior and heavy duty compared to every thing Doulton on Amazon and Allergy Buyers Club. I called several times and the customer service people were so patient and helpful. We got our filter in just a couple of days. The fixture is beautiful. It has no plastic and looks perfect with our existing heavy duty fixtures. When the agent said EVERYTHING you need for installation is in the box. He was correct. The directions were easy and all the parts were top
quality. The actual filter meets NSF 42 and NSF 53 standards. The water is so good. This is going to save us so much money.

I now have called back several times and have just ordered a whole house AquaCera No Scale system. It is German technology. I am excited because it changes the structure of the lime without using salt or an expensive reverse osmosis system. The Europeans are truly way ahead of us in their green solutions. This ceramic medium filter should make our appliances last much longer. I will be glad not to use 3 gallons of white vinegar a week fighting lime build up. I cannot wait to get it in.

Thank you for being a truly customer service oriented company! We will recommend you to all our friends.

How environmentally friendly are Doulton Water Filters

How environmentally friendly are Doulton Water Filters?

They are very ecologically friendly. Once the filters are conditioned, they do not waste any water, as compared to R.O. which wastes between 3 and 5 gallons of water for every gallon it produces. They also do not add anything to the water. Ceramics can be crushed, sprinkled and buried in the garden to keep slugs away and are made up of organic materials.

A Better Way to Filter Water

I was sold on Doulton filters a few years ago when I was in Nairobi, Kenya, visiting my parents, and we were vacationing in a Mombasa bungalow where the water supply was from a cistern holding rainwater collected off the roof of the building. We used a portable, gravity-drip Doulton filter system, and the water quality was, frankly, excellent. I will not own a water filter that doesn't have at least one Doulton 10-inch Imperial filter in it.

I am continually surprised, when I go into Lowes or Home Depot, that they seem mainly to push these reverse osmosis filters. They're always the most prominent items in their water filter sections, followed by ridiculous things like Pur pitcher filters. RO filters are inefficient and waste fresh water the world doesn't have. Pitcher filters are... well... enough said. Why haven't the big box stores caught on, that there's a much better way to filter water?


Thanks!
