Osmio Staff Pick as best Gravity Filter on the market

✓ Average pore diameter ~ 1 micron

The powerful ceramic gravity filter is compatible with all of the Doulton (British Berkefeld) and Big Berkey (and larger sizes) filter housings and makes a fantastic upgrade option as the filters have fantastic performance, particularly with regard to fluoride, hormone and pharmaceutical reduction in water. In other systems, such as the Doulton Super Sterasyl and Doulton ATC Super Sterasyl or the Berkey Black Elements, both of these require either the PF-4 or PF-2 Fluoride and Arsenic Filters (respectively) which take up space in the lower chamber which minimise the space available for storage of filtered water and adds cost to the process.

Superior Flow Rate and Filter Volume

The Coldstream filters are 1" longer and nearly 1" wider and therefore not only contain more filter media resulting in superior filtration, but also much faster flow rates. See how the filters compare in size to the Doulton Gravity Filters:

Components are NSF 42 Certified - which guarantees materials are not extracted at all into the filtered water. Despite rumours put about my competitors - this product does not contain BONE CHAR

Disposing of used filters

The filter would need to be smashed the ceramic and media inside should go to rubbish and the plastic ends can be recycled as plastic. Some people use the media and ceramic to compost but I don't because they can have pharmaceutical and hormone traces and I grow food so I would not want that. For the media, it would be best to send that stuff to the landfill.

My filters turn an almost "sunset yellow" colour quite quickly - within a few weeks of use, and I start to notice condensation build up. Do you have any idea which contaminant in particular would cause this deep yellowy orange colour?
Question by: josephine on 19 Jul 2023, 14:07
It could be a number of things - like colour (tannins), turbidity (suspended solids), limescale (calcium and magnesium carbonate), iron (brown staining) and lots more and likely a combination of all the above and more. The only thing you can do is run them under a running cold tap, and scrub them with a new clean scouring pad and this can be done to the point where the flow rate goes right down or the media inside has absorbed as much as possible.

Do you ever need to change ceramic water filters or just wash them
Question by: Martine on 11 Sep 2023, 22:29
If you just want to take out bacteria, wash them, but inside they have carbon and calcium phosphate so they absorb chemicals like a sponge and have a 6 month life for that

My filters keep turning agave green colour after two/three weeks of use. I tried to wash first set under cold water but it look like that bacteria grown deep into the ceramic, so i end up replacing with new set that i already had. But now, second set went same way quickly, so i stopped using filter as it turning to be too expensive for me to replace so frequently. Is it still safe to use once it goes green after short period of time? Any ideas ir advice please?
Question by: Natalija on 14 Dec 2023, 18:52
It is ok to use because the algae stays on the surface but you definitely should check the manual about how to position it, not in direct sunlight, and how to clean it every 2-3 weeks to prevent algae. The manual is downloadable under the files tab on this product page.

I have heard from my therapist there's a lot if GMO bacteria in our water causing people to be ill. He says uk water is filthy.
I have been using these filters for nearly 6 months now. I think they need to be changed after 6 months. Is that right pls.
I changed to these candles because they filter flouride and many contaminates I really don't want to stop using them.
Can you tell me if you have any idea about your candles whether they can filter out GMOs in our water supply.
Regards

HOW LONG DOES A SET OF FILTERS LAST FOR TWO PEOPLE?OR HOW MANY LITRES IF THATS EASIER?
Question by: SIMON on 30 Dec 2021, 19:00
We recommend changing the filters every 6 months, irrespective of the number of litres filtered. The contaminant removal capability of the filters has been tested to 500 litres per filter element.
