QUALITY CERAMIC
FILTERS MADE IN
175 years experience.
ENGLAND A proven brand you can trust.
 Yesterday...
In 19th Century England, the River
Thames was London s main water
supply and sewer.
Henry Doulton discovered that filtering
water through a porous ceramic could
stop people becoming sick from cholera
and other water-borne diseases.
This was a revolution in water treatment.

Today...
Fast forward 175 years and the ceramic filtration technology has advanced a long
way, but the principles of our ceramic filters remain the same - providing safe, healthy,
great-tasting drinking water wherever and whenever you need it. From a mud hut in
Uganda to an office block in Utah, Doulton¤ and British Berkefeld¤ filters are working
round-the-clock to provide millions of people with water they can enjoy and trust.

Quality Standards
Manufactured in England by Fairey
Industrial Ceramics Limited under ISO
conditions to ensure product consistency
and reliability, Doulton¤ and British
Berkefeld¤ filters regularly undergo
rigorous testing both in our own
laboratory facilities and by independent
laboratories to ensure that our customers
receive first class products every time.
Independent quality control approvals
such as the NSF International standard
42 and 53, and WRAS approval ensures
that product performance claims are
verified to the highest level. See NSF
mark for specific products.
