Super Sterasyl for water filters

With our Super Sterasyl, you can obtain pure drinking water from almost any fresh water source (e.g. a puddle) thanks to the triple combination effect of silver ions, ceramic and activated carbon.

The 1st stage gives the Super Sterasyl strong bacteriostatic and self-sterilising properties thanks to the ceramic impregnated with silver ions. These silver ions are toxic to bacteria and prevent the formation of mould and algae on the surface of the filter, thus maintaining the cleanliness of the filter surface. (The silver used in the ceramic is in particulate form, i.e. much larger than the nano range. As the silver particles are incorporated into the ceramic before firing, they remain firmly in place in the finished product. The silver does not leach into the filtered water, which has been proven by leachate tests as part of the NSF certification).

In the 2nd stage, the water flows through the millions of pores in the ceramic filter housing. These pores are 0.5 - 0.8 micron in size and trap impurities as the water flows through them. The inside of the ceramic is an intricate labyrinth with sharp angles that serves to capture any particles that have penetrated the outer surface. This filtration system mimics part of the earth's natural water purification process. Just as water seeps through layers of rock on its way to the depths, the water in the Super Sterasyl passes through natural media to rid itself of impurities.

The 3rd stage with its activated carbon core made from coconut shells serves to increase the adsorption capacity of the filter.

What can the Super Sterasyl filter out?

You can find out about its sensational effectiveness in filtering hormones, pesticides, drug residues, PCBs and much more in our test reports from the QUALITY FILTER TESTING LABORATORY, LLC (under the "Tests" tab).

Chlorine is used in municipal water treatment and leaves a bitter and chemical taste and an unpleasant odour. The activated carbon reduces chloramines by 99 %.

Particles such as dirt, deposits and rust are effectively filtered out by the porous surface of the ceramic filter.

Volatile organic compounds include a wide range of chemical contaminants that enter the water via agricultural wastewater, paints and pesticides. The content of so-called VOCs is significantly reduced by the activated carbon.

Turbidity is caused by suspended solids. These colour your tap water unappetising shades of yellow and brown. The Super Sterasyl removes 98 % of the turbidity and makes the water crystal clear again.

Only a few bacteria are smaller than one micron. As they cannot penetrate the pores, the pathogenic bacteria are filtered out while the water seeps through the ceramic filter. The Super Sterasyl removes bacteria such as Cholera, Shigella or Escherichia coli from the water.

Confirmation and scientific recognition of the exceptional performance of the high-performance Super Sterasyl have been officially confirmed by international test seals from the renowned laboratories NSF International and WRAS Water Regulations Advisory Scheme Limited. They meet the highest standards for drinking water filters and the stringent BS EN ISO 9002: 1994 quality standards.

Compatible with tanks that have a minimum height of 14 cm
