CeraMetix Candles Specs
CeraMetix® GF filter elements utilize our class leading ceramic micro porous outer shell combined with our AquaMetix® granular core technology.
AquaMetix® is made from the highest quality NSF component certified (ANSI 61) coconut shell based activated carbon and other superior adsorbent materials including B2 (ANSI 61).
The ceramic shell and our AquaMetix® granular combines mechanical filtration and physical adsorption processes to reduce a wide variety of drinking water contaminants of both aesthetic and health concerned.
The pore structure of the ceramic enables sufficient contact time for AquaMetix® to be ideally suited to improving taste and odor as well as reducing chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds, MTBE, lead, mercury, asbestos, arsenic and fluoride. The cleanable ceramic shell is designed to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria and cysts. The CeraMetix® elements have been tested in accordance with NSF protocols for cyst, turbidity, particulates, lead, chloramines and chlorine reduction.

CeraMetix Test Results
The CeraMetix GF filter is manufactured to remove suspended solids, pathogenic bacteria, cysts, organic chemicals and improve taste and odor. The ceramic is silver impregnated to prevent bacteria growth and is self-sterilizing. The ceramic shell is manufactured to balance flow rate and consistent pore size in order to provide maximum filtration efficiency.
The center of the filter contains our AquaMetix granular media to reduce organic chemicals, fluoride, VOC’s, heavy metals and improve the color, taste, and odor of drinking water. This filter element is designed for gravity filter use and other low pressure applications. These filters are designed for use in AquaCera® Gravity Filter Systems, they will also fit other makes of gravity systems.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Do the filters remove minerals such as magnesium and calcium?
No they do not filter the good minerals like calcium and magnesium.
-
Can you use this filter with well water that has a water softener
Yes you can.
-
Do the filters that come with it remove fluoride or do I need separate filters additional
The CeraMetix filters that come with it reduces fluoride. You do not need any additional filters.
-
How often do you recommend the unit to be cleaned and does the filter need to be cleaned also? What filter do you recommend if on city water? Does the filter remove salt?
We recommend you at least clean it monthly. You can clean the filters when the water flow slows way down, you can take a green scrubby pad and clean the outside ceramic with it. I recommend the CeraMetix filters. No, they do not remove salt.

Every time I clean the candle filter, it takes forever for the water to drip into the lower chamber. The last time, I allowed the candle to dry completely and this improved the flow rate. However, I can't be doing this every time, as it takes many days for the candle filter to dry completely. Any suggestions?
My suggestion would be to not clean the filter so often. The filter only needs cleaned when the water flow slows way down. Filters also need to be changed when they are due to be changed as well.
