Review: Great Filter, 5 Years old works great ,Pressure washing the unit is the key. - Been using this filter for 5 years for just our drinking water with no issues, maybe 60 gallons a month through it. I pre filter through 2- 5 micron and a big blue 5 micron and a UV light, We live on the water that catches off the roof, It’s pretty dirty when in enters the system. I change the pre filters every 2-3 months. Had trouble with it flowing slow in the beginning of use, They i found the key to cleaning it to new like flow. USE A PRESSURE WASHER. Review: Perfect fit into the Big Blue equivalent (Black/Clear housing from ... - Perfect fit into the Big Blue equivalent (Black/Clear housing from H2O). Easy to assemble, strong, and does not diminish the whole house flow rate at all. I have this located immediately after my 5000 ga water tank - pump - pressure tank system which then feeds house 1-1/4" main. Excellent choice for a passive filter device - actually, the only one I could find. I considered a UV system, but if the power goes out, then the bacteria could flow right on through, plus, those are $1000. Thoroughly satisfied over the last month although I've only run about 200 gallons through it. Lab water tests just arrived and fortunately pre-filter (tank) and post-filter (master bath faucet) water did not contain any bacteria. Piece of mind that this filter is in line. We can cook, clean, and wash with confidence. ## Features - Great tasting water for the whole family, this Doulton Drinking Water Filter Removes the Suspended Solids, Cloudiness, Parasites and Pathogenic Bacteria in your mains drinking water - Ceramic is 100% natural; 80% less plastic waste than other available synthetic cartridge filters.

We can cook, clean, and wash with confidence. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Mexico *by D***L on December 14, 2017* Using this in recreational vehicle in Mexico to filter out bacteria, which allows common tap water (through a two filter series connection of a 1 micron pre-filter in combination with this filter) to be used to process common tap water where it can wash fruits and vegetables without having to add an iodine based product like Microdene or similar. I use a bladder tank upstream on my RV and this allows me to periodically disconnect the water source and then use the two bleeding buttons on my big blue filter housings to in effect reverse-flush this and the 1 micron pre-filter. So far 6 months into daily use and neither has slowed to a point to believe they qualify for replacement or cleaning. I reverse flush about once per month. ***** 2021 June Update - Wish there was a better governing body regulating water filters or at least some "real" numbers to do comparisons. Not many I would estimate use this filter and it's hard to tell how it is working. My first one was working great flow-wise but after the review I found one of the filters cracked and that's one way to speed the flow LOL. So I replaced it at my own cost due to it being out of warranty. From all I have read about ceramic filters, everyone says they can be cleaned almost indefinitely but this one definitely exhibits a slowing of the flow over time and the longer you go and the more you clean it, the shorter times between serious scrubbing of the ceramics will be needed. Now after adding filter #2 one year ago, recently #2 has begun stopping up every month and cleanings were lasting only a few weeks (I have a 1 micron paper filter I keep changed in front of it) so I got tired of cleaning it and phoned Doulton (think they are in the UK) and it was obvious I knew more about this filter than they did but they finally found someone who knew about the filter who said the lifespan was about a year and not "infinite" like you see with all the youtube videos claiming ceramics can be constantly cleaned and reused. So long story short, after 4 years I am now on filter assembly #3 and not happy about the frequency of clean outs and replacements but I don't know what else qualifies as a good replacement since this is the only style ceramic that has acceptable flow-rate. Still I have read other reviewers here who had their water from it tested with unacceptable results and it makes me wonder quite a bit about what I am getting with this. The design seems well thought out if you discount the first one single candle that shattered for no reason but like any water filter these days, the company reviews are mostly written by the marketing department and while every company's filter today claims to have been "submitted" for WQA/NSF testing, I have not to this date found a single water filter sold on any website that has been approved by these official organizations. So what am I saying? I would say it is a "soft-buy" due to there nothing else touching it with a reasonable flow-rate and while taking time to still question the popularity of ceramic filters and the good they have done in 3rd world countries for the local water supplies. Nevertheless "some" filtering is always better than "none" and I am certain these are better than the "beer can" size filters everyone buys from Wally world and believes is filtering their water. **** In fairness this filter could be used in a high pressure home system for much longer periods than in my 45PSI RV because in the RV, the pump shuts down each time 45PSI is attained and if the filter is between the pump and the water tank, when the filter gets slightly clogged, this makes the pump cycle abnormally and continuously. In a home installation, the water flow would slow rather than causing pump-surcg which makes me have to clean it too often because of the extra surging when the filter begins to be restricted flow. ## Frequently Bought Together - Doulton W9381000 Rio 2000 Module Including 6 x Bespoke Sterasyl Ceramic Drinking Water Candle Filters 8 inch for High Flow Big Blue Housing, White, 1 Pack - Pentair Pentek 150237 Big Blue Filter Housing, 1" NPT #10 Whole House Heavy Duty Water Filter Housing with High-Flow Polypropylene (HFPP) Cap and Pressure Relief Button, 10-Inch, Black/Blue - Pentair Pentek SW-3 Spanner Wrench for 10" Big Blue Housings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/13407826-w9381000-rio-2000-module-including-6-x-bespoke-sterasyl-ceramic](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/13407826-w9381000-rio-2000-module-including-6-x-bespoke-sterasyl-ceramic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
